Nail Soup

Wow, I didn’t expect that. But I suspect he only said as part of his ongoing rift with Art Garfunkel - Disturbed gifted him the biggest possible insult he could throw at Art.

Gotta be this:

Someone suggested this as the worst ever cover in one of my FB feeds... what do you nominate as the worst cover? (Sorry if it's been done before) I'm really thinking of ones that deliberately sound the way they do.... not ones done by people who can't play/sing. Going Underground (The Jam) covered by Manfred Mann's Earth Band.

I'm not a depper, so won't give an opinion on what I'd prefer... but this just popped up on FB, so I'll share it here:

Enter Sandman?

And always use a monospaced font.

Only dropped once? I guess that's a Freudian slip as it sounds like you were dropped in it!

It would be $300,000,001 if you include the Ray Wilson era.

Betty Harris - there's a Break in the Road. Love the drumming in this!

I lost interest when Paul joined, and regained when Baz took over vocals (and JJ returned to singing his old songs). Totally agree - It just seemed totally wrong to have Paul doing his front-man act.

A few gigs I've been to recently have had support acts with one or two members plus a laptop. Not headliners, as I would be unlikely to go to such a gig. So it does seem to be bubbling up.

Uriah Heep was the first ever proper live gig I went to. 15 years old at The Leys Club, Letchworth on October 16th 1971. 1971 means they have been going longer than 50 years..... Are these shows delayed due to Covid, or do the band mark 1972 as their start for some reason, or what?

Talking of Sugbabes and a live band... It's made me remember something... or maybe I i am imagining it. Please let me know. A reasonably renowned female singer of Latino music (can't remember the name) was due to appear on Later with Jools Holland. But something happened and she could not appear... but the all of the band did. So Mutya from the Sugababes filled in for the two(?) songs. And did a good job too. Anyone else remember it (google isn't helping)?

I thought that the original Sugababes line-up were not allowed to use the name? Or has something changed (or I just got that wrong)?

My loft likewise. Reminds me of the day I bought it. On release day, me and a fellow Stranglers-mad schoolmate went down town to HMV after school to buy our copies. Out first 'new' Stranglers album... we had the first three as back-catalogue. We walked into HMV, I picked up the LP - with the 3D cover. The one underneath had a 2-D cover. So did all the rest. He bought the 2-D copy. I still often get a negative guilt-twinge when I listen to the album!

Yeah, he really showed that Burnell chap how bass cool is done!

I don't remember a grey-haired bassist 🤔

Great story... I was at the London Rainbow gig myself .... it was a great gig as you say. Plus the bonus that I have seen Joy Division!

And there is Eartha Kitt of course!

Yes, indeed...... I (and probably most others) am waaaaay more likely to check it out if there is a link. Great video (and song) BTW!

Or does it simply prove the existence of time travelling men in black?

Not sure if it's a gig in my normal sense.... but it's Unkle Funks' Disco Inferno (UK's leading live disco band) on Saturday. Going with Mrs Soup (who won't come to most of the music I listen to) and my sister and her partner ... so it will be a bit of a social and bit of dancing I expect. Will be pretty good if the website is anything to go by : unclefunksdiscoinferno.com

Another interesting thing about the RN front cover... The band later went on to have a song and album about the men-in-black, only to realise that there is a man-in-black in the RN album cover...... it's pretty much in the centre of the pic, against the window above Jet's head.

Not sure if it's a pun as such, but I really liked this one: grebo band "Gaye Bikers on Acid" used to play under the alias "Lesbian Dopeheads on Mopeds"

Not an original one - in fact the Stones themselves use it, and not very punny... but it's true and all I've got right now: I managed to convince the rest of my team in the company "10K steps challenge" to have the name The Strolling Bones.
