The Curse of Garden Party 1156 2
Started by stroller
Apparently this all happened earlier in the week but it's news to me;
Toots & The Maytals were due to play the Garden Party festival until Toots pulled out a couple of days ago due to knee problems. The organisers swiftly booked Desmond Dekker as a replacement but sadly the Reggae legend has since died due to a heart attack. If I were an aging Jamacian musician I don't think I'd be in a hurry to answer any calls from Aiken Promotions.
On a happier note Buck 65 has announced on his website th...

Electric Picnic Tix 1952 16
Started by Eoin
right,
apologies if this has been covered here before, but I went to check out tickets for the Electric Picnic today, and I came accross this.....
There is just one type of ticket this year which is a weekend ticket that includes camping. (There are no day tickets.)
Tickets are €175 which is for three days plus camping.
I'd really like to have everyone thoughts on this, cause to me this is a f**king sham.

Really good music featured in really bad films 2641 21
Started by stroller
I was channel surfing the other day when the the film Road Trip popped up on one of the channels. I would have kept flicking except for the fact that the scene in question was cut to Lovin Machine by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Puzzled but pleased I switched over but when I mentioned it to a fellow Blues Explosion fan the next day he informed me that he'd watched the whole film and that Ween, Eels Supergrass and Ash had also appeared on the film's soundtrack. I was pretty taken aback by this as...

Tom Pepper & the Red Pettys 2164 15
Started by blacksheep
Chili Peppers new single 'Dani California' is an absolute rip off
of Tom Pettys 'Last dance with Mary Jane'.
It's the same key,tempo,chord structure,melody & there are
similar lyrics.I can't host an mp3 at the moment but if you hear
them you'll know instantly.
Can't see the peppers getting away with this one.

Charles Manson - The 1st Dublin Singer Songwriter 1286 4
Started by Rev Jules
At the end of the book Hotel California there is a discography of key tracks of the era covered and one of them is by Charles Manson. So I tried to get a listen to as many of the artists I could on the list via i-tunes and Ole Charlie was one of the guys who came up, with his LP, 'Lie - The Love And Terror Cult' and you know what, its doesn't sound like the cold dark sound of unabashed evil, it sounds like one of those sad litle pr*cks who play their mopey acoustic songs in Dublin's various open...

Editors Last Night 1435 12
Started by klootfan
Strange gig last night.. Turns out it was an dry gig as U16s were allowed in.. not that there were many there.
With it being a dry gig, it looked like the only ones with alcohol in them WERE the U16s up front.
While the band performed well, the crowd just didnt react. And I must count myself in with this. That and the fact that I thought the coldplay feel was a little bit too much at times.
Oxegen should be more fun.

well i thought it was good. not brilliant, not tripe, but good. i thought his interaction with the crowd was, to say the least, corny. i mean, did he really ask people in brixton 'are you louder then the people in dublin' i think not mate.
i didnt think the vocal sound in the songs was as good as it could have been. certain parts of the nite i couldnt hear his voice over the music at all. but some songs were even better live then on the album. Gotta Reason, Unnecessary Trouble, Move on Now ...

Eagles - true creators of country rock? 4881 37
Started by Rev Jules
One of the few good things about my surf trip to north spain, was I got to read Barney Hoskyns new book, 'Hotel California' which bore out two things I have always felt and frequently said,
a) Gram Parsons was a drugged up dilletante
b) The Eagles were the true creators of country rock
Its a great book, easy to read, check it out.
