Interesting little read over at RollingStone mag ....

"His most famous studio moment — 1971's "Brown Sugar" — was originally supposed to be a guitar solo, but in a spontaneous moment, Jagger and producer Jimmy Miller suggested they add saxophone. "It was the first take – I just really shut my eyes and play," said Keys." ....

...."But his wild ways became even too wild for the Stones. On their 1973 European tour, he missed a commitment and Richards found him in his bathtub full of Dom Perignon. "He’s got a cigar, bathtub full of champagne and this French chick with him," Richards recalled in Life. "And he said, 'Fuck off'."


RIP

cool tune

to get the full context you have to think about the "chop" metaphor used in an older song that was in the soundtrack of the Fallout 3 world

Good Bobby Keys obit in the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/entert...d9e_story.html

Holy fuck, Jean Beliveau died too!

[Buster Highmen]

Mr. Keys had the same birthday as Keith Richards, the Stones’ guitarist and founding member, and the two shared an interest in other activities besides music

Probably my favorite YLT tune. Last time I heard them play it live they crushed it for about 20 minutes at the 930 Club. Brain-meltingly loud too. Gotta love it when Ira goes on a tear.

This song came on the ipod while riding into work today. Much head-bobbing and smiling ensued.

I saw YLT many times when I lived in the mid-Atlantic, always hoping for an Ira freak-out show, got what I wanted at least half of the time. Of all YLT albums, May I Sing With Me, the most freakout-filled album, is my favorite.



but today, this is what I wanted to hear when I woke up

[grinch]

^^reminds me of RATM. some good thump to that bass

not related other than ipod play from skiing yesterday. always a replay

[creaky fossil]

yeah Dyin' Diamond begs for a subwoofer, it's only remarkable for the slackjawed singing otherwise -- though the slack marblemouth singing kicks unholy ass!

Tippster I've never heard that Jimmy's Chicken Shack song before, and when they were getting airplay and being mentioned often I used to confuse them with Chickasaw Mudd Puppies, maybe just because the word "chick" is in both? Obviously their music isn't like Chickasaw Mudd Puppies.

"I'm the Ocean"


Some of my favorite lyrics, don't know exactly why, and maybe that's why....

"People my age
They don't do the things I do
They go somehwere...."

& love....

"I'm an aerostar
I'm a cutlass supreme" !!!!

I heard Neil's people werent to thrilled that he went and made Mirror Ball without them. He saw a very small window of opportunity and took it....

"I guess it’s fair to say that Mirror Ball was made pretty quickly.

The album was recorded in four days. In fact, all of the songs except “Act of Love,” and “Song X” were written the day before they were recorded. We had to work really quickly because Pearl Jam was going to go out on the road. We had a chance to record, and it was going well – it sounded good – so we kept recording songs. I tried to get as many days as I could, and got four."

"The album was produced by Brendan O’Brien, who is quite clearly their guy.

I chose to use their whole organization. They seemed to be running very well. They needed no prompting from anyone. I was just bringing the songs in and playing with them, so I used all their stuff. Why make is harder or more complicated? It was easier for them to adapt to me if I came in and left them alone. So that’s what I did.

So what did you bring with you?

Just my guitars, my organ and my amplifier. Actually, though, I only used one guitar on the record – Old Black, my ’52 Les Paul."


Ha... Gotta love that all but 2 songs were written the day before

One of the all-time best albums ever.

Jimmy's reminds me of Ned's... There may be a better song to compare their voices, but here ya go...

No argument here!

Heh - sounds like they grew up listening to the Housemartins. JCS was a little more guitar-heavy, but I will concede the 90's connection.

Creaky: Jimmy's Chicken Shack was an HFS staple in the mid 90's since they were local Annapolis boys. I think fellow maggot Labcabin actually knows and used to get bent with Jimmy HaHa (the lead singer.)

I liked Ned's.. Actually I enjoyed quite a few of those grebo bands back then.

That's after I'd stopped listening to HFS. I remember the band name, but I think that video is the first song I've ever heard. This is the local band I remember being an HFS favorite that you wouldn't hear otherwise without seeing them live. Andy Reynolds and Gregg Maizel went to jr high and HS with me and a lot of others from the region:



In jr high, Andy and Gregg hung around a dude named Phil Rosenthal, who later was in Not Even, a band that didn't manage to get HFS airplay but released that linked LP. I have a copy of it, and speaking of Housemartins, that's about what Not Even sounded like. Nobody in Not Even became a Fatboy Slim, though.

Stones, Faces, Bumps lose another one...

speaking of HFS, thanks to J Gilbert the Weasel I bought this album when it came out in 79



hasta la vista keyman
