All as good as their respective A-sides… better in some cases (cough… Oasis… cough…)
One of my all time favourite tracks.
Singles, B sides… brown eyed woman was never recorded in studio and is probably the Grateful Dead’s most “radio friendly” song.
Great lyrics.
Like a Harpoon Yeah
Double the Trouble
Why is it that Jebediah bloke sings his own stuff perfectly fine, but he feels compelled to adopt an out-of-tune, whiny drone like a swarm of mosquitoes when he sings with the band?
I always get nervous at this time of year, as rockstars seem to continually fall off the perch post-Christmas.
Hang in there.
A Christmas message from Skyhooks.
Pearl Jam - Live at Safeco Field, Seattle in 2018.
Free for Amazon Prime subscribers. Catch it while you can, until Jan 2.
A lesser known gem from Weddings Parties Anything
Headphones don’t do this song justice. Loud speakers in a good room and you get that extra offbeat echo.
Some others my misses played me
Obsession, love it! Use to be in the opening title credits for WWF’s Saturday Nights Main Event in the their 1980s wrestling explosion!
Crash Politics… One of those mid-late 80’s indie Oz acts that got swept up in the great Mushroom/Festival/RooArt signing frenzy and sadly fell between the cracks, getting buried in major label politics (see also the next post).
Strong Cure vibes…
The Pony… same as above, record company indifference also brought them undone. Late singer Pierre Baroni became a band photographer (his photos adorned plenty of Oz album artwork through the 90’s) and later on a Triple R DJ.
Michael Jackson History album
Not lesser known by me! A favourite.
