MUSIC: the official thread.

Pentangle!

My cousin's husband used to roadie for Pentangle!*




* for about 3 months, anyway.

 

Hut, you may have heard this but this song was supposed to be in the previous album. The guitarist who quit the band before this album (Ricky Senior, I think was his name) admitted to sabotaging this song in the studio. He said he knew Jarvis liked the song and planned on releasing it following "Common People." Ricky hated the song with a passion and did everything he could to sink it in the studio. Finally they wasted so much time trying to sort it out that they abandoned it...until thr next LP.

Remember that crazed Iranian bird who shot up youtube HQ a few years back? Quite like her choons

 

You really like Claire de lune

(I’m not complaining!)

 

More classic French music (played by American piano great Abbey Simon, recently departed)

 

That just came up on my recommendations and as a lapsed guitarist i was suitably wowed

 

Fucking pissing myself here

 

Sounds exactly like the original.

 

Wes is a fucking mess but that has to be overdubbed, right??

 

Mick Jagger steals my dance move at 3:45.

 

Nope. Genuine.

 

Holy shit. How did his bandmates go through with that shit?

 

They can't have rehearsed. You'd think surely somebody would have said something.

 

He has been a mess for years. He passed out on stage in Italy during a show. He had several bizarre incidents around the US. At one concert he stopped the show and accused a bewildered audience member of stealing his house. And then this fiasco in Doncaster, UK. Wes was so drunk and high that his band quit and walked out. He was left on stage in a meth coma taking abuse from the audience.

 

Out in the sun playing choons on my third beer. On the clock no less. No all bad, this hing.....this is our generations big crisis? What a time to be alive

 

Sonny Rollins on sax ... a great song ... the building in the beginning is the same from the cover of Physical Graffiti
