Brian:
Take it from me
If you're [really high falsetto] comin' down to Paree
Come hang with thr boys and me for a while
Carl: [spoken] You gotta do it
Mike: [spoken, cooly taken aback by the stridency of Carl's adlib] Well, we'll have a hearing first - gotta have Due Process
Dream last night the Beach Boys in 1974 were recording a song for Martin Scorsese's Tin Tin movie (sic).
Brian's voice was getting a little rough,but still unafraid of elegance, a la the mid-70s In the Back of My Mind:
Omg, I listened to this for the first time today, knowing vaguely that I should at some point and honestly with a fairly patchy knowledge of the Zombies. What a capital B Beautiful record, in so many ways
Two nights ago my partner & I saw 'Christine', the John Carpenter/Stephen King film about an evil car & its obsessive owner. We then went outside & saw the aurora with our naked eyes, vivid & dancing.
I then dreamt a song, inspired not by the aurora, but the movie. It sounded exactly like this:
Dream was definitely thanks to reading @bowiesongs.bsky.social's fabulous Rebel Rebel this past month. Must preorder volume 2
I had a dream last night that a Ziggy Stardust-era Bowie deep cut was suddenly blowing up with everyone noting it as a lost glam classic.
It roughly had the tune of 'Hark the Herald Sing' over Chuck Berry chords and was called 'Hang on to Your Zit'
Grainy photo of a facade outside a venue that houses multiple tourist attractions: 'Rock Legends Wax Museum' 'Rockworld' and Niagara Souvenir Centre'. The photo is from 2015, but the mural and signage look about 18 hears older. Clockwise from top left are illustrations of the faces of James Hetfield, Madonna, Tina Turner, Alice Cooper and snake, Kurt Cobain, Buddy Holly, Eddie Vedder(?), Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Bono, unknown, Elvis Presley.
Not exactly the same but a similar joy for me at least: this waxwork museum(?) facade I snapped at the Canadian side of Niagara in 2015. A particular fondness for the one on the right I assume without great confidence to be Eddie Vedder.
Loved it. I was listening to the last bit while in a supermarket going omg, do I need to listen to will i am solo albums now? Always amazing whenever another episode drops
Have loved Then Play Long since finding it linked from Popular a million years ago, and loved your writing since reading your reviews in Uncut as a teen (a million years before that). A wonderful end to this series, Marcello and Lena
Ilovemakonnen - Club Going Up on a Tuesday
(forgive me if it's been suggested/on your list already, but couldn't see it anywhere)
Dusty's version of Tanega's 'The Colour of Your Eyes' is one of most beautiful things ever and I've never heard anyone talk about it (maybe I move in the wrong circles?) Great pic and love all your work Bob!
