Vagabond Heart: Part 1...

I don't care what anyone says, the cbe that is the legend is Rod Stewart indeed. A good ol'London boy who got kicked out of The Kinks. Way before they were The Kinks yeah and he was booted out because the drummer's mother didn't like his voice, rock & roll! Rod wouldn't let that get him down, no! Then the story goes, well, a bit Pete Doherty. But then he wouldn't be the first now would he. Drinking like a complete twat, busking, and playing in going nowhere bands he finally stumbled on Jeff Beck, and sung for the bloke. I've Been Drinking from 1968 is one of the better songs they came up with...thats if you can get over that nagging feeling that it's going to burst into the Moody Blues "Go Now". It really is hard to do!

Anyway, Jeff Beck and his head got really really huge and wanted to do they're own thing (together) so that was that. Fuck you Beck because that meant our dear Roderick could do it too! And Come Home Baby was the result, a duet with P.P. Arnold. I first heard this on an Immediate Records reprint 7, it was the b-side to a Small Faces song and it blew me away. I know why it was there, but it really shouldn't have been. Anyway, Rod took Ronnie Wood who was playing bass for Jeff Beck with him to what was Britain's greatest band - The Small Faces. More about that in part 2 lol. Before that all kicked off Stewart and Wood went and recorded everybodys dad's favourite song and mine, Maggie May. A Wood driven masterpiece, I reckon he was one of the greatest bassists of all time, anyway here's the vid with Plonk Lane "playing" bass, John Peel "playing" the mandolin and them all playing football...Ah these were the days:

Not so much creepy...


This band are called The Gentlemens Club. That was they name of my first band when I was but only 15. They have 506 profile views. Our bands old website stopped at 490something. Which makes us STILL just as popular as them! Haha.

I'm proud of that band!

Phileas Fopp Vol I...

Scotland. It's got over 5 million people, 3 official languages, 1 complete arse running it and 0 decent sporting teams. Pretty shit figures frankly. Damn good at music though, considering how dangerously close they are to Norway. Let's celebrate Indiepop!!

Primal Scream are SHIT. It was once different...Velocity Girl proves it. I fucking love this song.

The BMX Bandits rip off the Beach Boy's yes, but in the most amazing ways The Road Of Love...is Paved with Banana Skins says they're more than a tribute act.

Anyone who know's me know's I think Camera Obscura are pretty much godly, and not in the McGinty sense either. They even do Abba songs a favour: Supertrooper

Prolapse. The sort of band you'd blow your head off to, should you be that way inclined? Alternatively Flat Velocity Curve is probably a great driving tune!

A wee mention to the Be Be See, between you, me and whoever else I think You K Gold is bloody brilliant.

Rinse, lather, repeat. Now where's that map...

Calendar of cock - Mr July...

As global warming continues to terrify us all into small boxes, it seem's our only contact with the outside world is the SCIENCE EDITOR of whatever news you choose to peek at through the lid. For one reason or another mine has been ITV recently (i forgot to take the remote in with me).

Britain has been flooded, yes just like last year, the year before that, oh and the year before that. But now! NOW! It's Lawrence McGinty's 'THE GREAT FLOOD' dur durr duuuurrRR. What a fucking shower of cock. I mean he's standing there telling us how it's impossible to get in or out of a flooding town...yet he's fucking standing there. Standing there all fat and self satisfied (yet with an ever so slightly concerned brow). How the FUCK did you manage it then fatboy? Mr Harry fucking Houdini? More like fucking Noddy. Cock.

To pick on him is maybe a little unfair, but Romilly Weeks, Chris Ship, RiZLa THiEf, (older than the...) Mary Rhodes will all get theirs. Requiem for a Dream gets an airing, since we're all gonna fucking drown.

And for a tune, i'm going with some child hood hero worship to make my coming of age... so Orange Juice it is, with Blue Boy.
