For anyone that might be remotely interested I've just posted a new Song on the Aldous Pinch Myspace page. Its a little tall tale about a beautiful man, murder, canabalism, dealings with the Devil and revenge. Might make you smile.
I checked it out just now Drew. You're on a roll. It starts off resembling Tom Waits, and when it kicks in it's a lot of fun. Keep them coming! (Could you send me a link to download this one too? I want to turn my old bass player on to this when I see him on Saturday.) Cheers
very tom waits with a hint of nick cave. veering off slightly, has anyone ever seen a fu*ked up film about a loon who escapes from his mothers evil clutches, robs a bank, gives out sermons as a fake preist and ends up a front man in a progressive rock band that sound a bit like cave/waits, its a mad film called BAD BOY BUBBY. they banned it about 10 years ago.
from what I remember it was very wrong, very dark, but the band were amazing, a bit like 'the doors' on tamazipan.
Many years ago when my car was being serviced someone pinched the entire contents of my multi disk CD player which included 4 (ripped of) disks of an extremely rere Neil Young bootleg set of CD's and the twin disk Weld.
I recently got a new copy of Weld (don't think I will every replace the bootleg) and it's contantly on in my car VERY VERY loud.
In terms of tracks I particularly like Cinnamon Girl and am very proud of myself as I managed to download it onto my phone as a ring tone and I judge people by whether they can identify it when the phone rings.
I have also addopted one of his lyric's as my moto for life and I now realise it might make a nice one for this group as well;
You know what amazes me and it shouldn't really, the amount of william blake poetry that seeps into modern musical lyrics, Im not on about the rubbish in the charts but a wide spectrum of decent bands and performers
have used blake. verve, dylan, the doors, jah wobble and many more.
I just find it a bit suprising the amount of artists in popular music that he has influenced over the past thirty years, when you would of thought the classical artists would of been more geared to a blakeist revivalism.
Good though..

I can't remember. I borrowed it from a guy I worked with who had bought it in Italy. It was a 4 or 6 disk bootleg in a very elegant box. The disks contained some really great tracks. Some of which have never released (only played live). I do have some of this stuff on an old Mp3 player and writing this remonds me I must go and get it off and secure it somewhere.
