What Choons Yi Listening To?

On a tangent but have you seen the film about Dennis Wilson? Fascinating stuff.
There was a long-in-the-works Dennis Wilson bio-pic called "The Drummer" which had got as far as being cast a decade ago but it was eventually canned.
The BBC put together a 60 minute documentary entitled Dennis Wilson: The Real Beach Boy but I haven't seen that for a decade.
Everything else out there is pretty much low budget sensationalist crap that concentrates on the drink, the drugs, the dames and the drowning.

Dennis has now been dead longer than he lived and despite all his issues, oldest brother, Brian is, against all the odds, still upright.

P.S. A Beach Boys documentary was released a week ago. It looks beautifully put together but at just under 2 hours is far too short to tell their complex story. What you will get is a nostalgic, sanitised take on a band that deserves a deeper and more honest interrogation.

I have both volumes on a double vinyl album. First Velvets I ever bought. Was that after John Cale had left?
Sounds like the same 1979 double vinyl reissue that I have which depending on condition is worth between 10 and 50 quid, not that I have sold records.

Working at home today and spinning some vinyl in the background

I've my copy of the American pressing of The Clash's self titled debut on just now and I'll put my tin hat on and say I prefer it to the original UK release. I mean you could swap out almost any song on any album for Complete Control and White Man and you'd be making an improvement, right?

US version:

Side One:
"Clash City Rockers"
"I'm So Bored with the USA"
"Remote Control"
"Complete Control"
"White Riot"
"(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais"
"London's Burning"
"I Fought the Law

Side Two:
"Janie Jones"
"Career Opportunities"
"What's My Name"
"Hate & War"
"Police & Thieves"
"Jail Guitar Doors"
"Garageland"

Just been sent two clips of economic migrants who have attacked young lassies in Dublin. Locals kicked the fuck out of them.

Then the bizzies come and protect the stoat the baws.

And they wonder why folk do not trust the fuckers. So this is dedicated to the political corrupt bizzies......

ACAB is by the 4 Skins. They were old school late 60's lads. I used to drink with their manager when I lived in Lahndahn.

They were a mix of Arsenal and West Ham. The bassist Hoxton Tom ended up living in Thailand and Hodges the singer still has the band going.

Another french pearl before swine :friendly:
 
A rather weird combination Michael Berkeley who sits in the House of Lords, along with Pink Floyd guitarist David Gimour and Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant. They've teamed up and written a song about Ukraine 'Zero Hour'.

Is that the book written by a lawyer?

Guns n Roses covered one of Manson's songs.

No, written by Tom O’Neil. You might be thinking of Helter Skeltef written by Mason’s trial Prosicator Vince Bugliosi.
 
Just reading a book on the Manson murders and Denis let Manson and his ‘family’ live at his house and tried to get him a record deal .
In a life of increasingly not very smart moves this was one of his worst. Think he ended up fucking off and leaving them in the house.
He did adapt one of Manson's songs for a Beach Boys B side. Manson wasn't given a writing credit. Think Dennis gave him some money and a motor bike which was a lot more than it was worth.

Nice clip.
Main Ingredient were a strange one.
Soul pop on RCA Victor ... which is why I don't have a copy of it in my collection.
