I’m a bit worried because I can only think of 798,000,000 things I would rather do than go to a Steps and Venga Boys gig.
Reminds me of drunken school parties, think that came out in my final year. Prefer the original by a country mile though.
This track, more than any other on the album, shows Mark Ronson's influence as a producer. I couldn't quite believe that Josh had approached him but I shouldn't have worried. Mr Homme is the finest collaborator currently working in my opinion and he obviously knew it would work and oh boy does it ever. This is yet another stoater in their repertoire that I enjoyed over two and a half hours of at Usher Hall last week. Not sure if this has appeared on the thread before but here he is writing for, producing and playing with Iggy Pop.
Been looking at Josh's collaborations of the years and didn't realise just how many bands he's been involved with. Somehow managed to miss his backing vocals in Colony of Birchmen by Mastodon, which is odd seeing as I've bought the Blood Mountain 3 times over the years.
I thought I should introduce you to a new genre of music which has been around a long time. It is called Shape note singing and is brilliant. Nothing can beat communal singing.
That was strangely compelling although I did feel like a passenger in Alan Partridge's car at points.
Well @HarryTipper all I can say is Wubba Lubba Dub Dub! Blood Mountain is quite something. Cheers for the tip.
