dr666, re S Barratt^^That shoot is a story in itself...M Rock really liked Syd, but couldn't handle his moods...Duggie Fields used to live with him, didn't he? I strongly suspect that M Rock hipped Bowie onto the Velvets....

Yeah, I've never read the background on Bowie getting into the Velvets. I'm guessing it'd be Mick Rock or maybe even someone like Joe Boyd.

if i had $500 pesos to spare, i would so go see dave mustaine and the megadethelettes.

i'm so jealous you actually saw avril.

cantanks: i love many oasis songs, "champagne supernova" is not one of them.

dr666 - Joe Boyd is a good call - it could have been both of them...I still love the Allan Jones story where he witnessed Reed beating up Bowie in London - a stone classic, man.

i would fuck the brains out of that man

oh wait what brains?

well in any case. you get my drift.

Oh yeah, I know! Anyroad, you heard any good sounds up in Manc since you've been there? If not, check out the local band Doves:

nah i haven't gone out at night really but i'll make an effort to check them out for sure
only a couple more days here though and then it's london calling!!!!!!

"catch the sun, before it's gone, here it comes, up in smoke it goes..."

after listening to this and in utero today i decided:
if i ever make an album, albini is recording it. period.

rid of me is pj's worst album.

listening to hildegard von bingen

how dare you

dry is her worst album. rid of me is one of her best.

yeah, i'm not too keen on dry either.

rid of me is like: good song, dull, dull, dull, good song, dull, dull, good song, etc.

the good songs are great though ("rid of me", "highway 51 revisited", "50ft queenie", both versions of "man size", i'm missing one or two more).
