Joe Cocker right now.

 

Tomorrow I'm heading out for Big Sky Montana for some good skiing and had to listen to this oldie before getting on a plane.

 

Enjoy the trip Tim.

I'm a big Zappa fan, was watching his son Dweezil earlier and I wonder if he plays his fathers guitar 'cos it's exactly the same model and colour.

Thanks for the post

 

 

Trying to push some boundaries: Dubstep/metal, together and apart, along with some less electric stuff. Really like these, and that`s a lot to be said of something non-metal.





...and one just for the eyecandy:

 

Hey you know there's this guy called Jeff Beck, he's supposed to be pretty good

 

This played on the Radio Rock early in the morning when I was driving to work and it got stuck in my head. Took me a good while to hunt down what song it was:

 

From the film "No Limit" (1935) starring George Formby, Florence Desmond and Jack Hobbs. Composers: Harry Gifford & Fred E. Cliffe.
This scene is set on a steam train as George travels to the port to catch a boat for the Isle Of Man. There, he does indeed ride in the TT (Tourist Trophy) Races.

Lyrics -

If there's one thing that I like
It's riding around on a motorbike
I'm a speed king when I once begin

I once won first prize two and six
I know all the dirt track dirty tricks
I'm a marvel when I'm out to win

In a fifty mile race I am the best
I ride five miles and skid the rest

So come along and see me riding in the T.T. races
Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces
I've been riding all my life, I started quite small
I've ridden fairy cycles, aye, and scooters and all

Hear the people cheer me when they see me steering backwards
Down the hill I go at break-neck speed
See me coming down the street
With the winning post on the pillion seat
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

Come along and see me riding in the T.T. races
Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces
Once my bike was hard to ride, but I didn't mind
Until I found they'd hitched a charabanc on behind

Everybody's scaring, I am such a daring rider
My inside rattles when I go the pace
My ribs begin to shake about
There's all my spare parts sticking out
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

- uke solo --

With my gears in reverse
The other way round I'll finish first
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

 

Poets Of the Fall - Revolution Roulette album. Cost 6EUR at the store today so took it with me. Pretty good.
