And a video to go with the new track by Squid - they asked people to submit 360° videos of where they were spending their isolation, and have edited them together to make this - even if you don't like the track (which would be insane, it's cracking) it's an interesting collection of work...
too obvious and I don't really like the song! On the face of it Lately is another pop/soul song that many Stevie fans over-look but the composition is superb and this version really tugs at the heart strings. No likes for Stevie yet? Wow, I think even my Slayer mash-up posts got at least one like!! No accounting for taste.
Steve Levine was being interviewed on 6Music on his birthday, and played some tracks by Stevie that he wrote for The Beach Boys that had never been heard before...worth 7 minutes of your time
Following the sad passing of Phil May I looked at some of the old Pretty Things material and found this gem, a scene from the 1969 film 'What's Good for the Goose' with the band under the pseudonym 'Electric Banana'...
Found another gem, one of his last appearances with the great Arthur Brown. They were together a lot in the late 60s and early 70s along with Hawkwind, The Pink Fairies and Stray on the Ladbroke Grove circuit, great days indeed...
40 years ago today - what a loss, RIP Ian. Many many bands are still citing Joy Division as a huge influence, and you can hear it in lots of new music
