Bastille - Bad Blood now that I've actually listened to it, I'm not that keen and it will probably not see the light of day again....

I've been listening to Jackson Browne's "For everyman" and Wire's "A bell is a cup until it is struck". [video=youtube;ChUuS3aXAOE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChUuS3aXAOE[/video]
I really like the " For Everyman " album though the fading of one track into another some of the time does my nut in.. `specially when making up compilation tapes to impress the burds an` that
Now that I`m listening to it - does Wires " Boiling Boy " sound like the template for " Tinseltown in the Rain " ?
I would agree with that particularly the one at the end between sing my songs to me and For Everyman. I wouldn't put him on the burds tape though Rogue it will scare them away. A guy I knew used to call him Jackson Suicide, which was a bit harsh considering Jackson's old lady topping herself after Late for the Sky. It's amazing when you see the age he was when he wrote all this stuff. I learned a lot of his stuff when I was little so I could get pints bought for me in the Scotia when I played them to all the old guys in the pub. I was a booze mercenary. Actually it does. I hadn't noticed that before. Tinseltown came out three years before the Wire track though. Nothing new under the sun.
Todays only albums have been The Allman Brothers first two, The Allman Brothers Band and Idlewild South [video=youtube;ZkBdtjq_26s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkBdtjq_26s&feature=share&list=PLCCA8DEE3F C12BFEE[/video] and, no, I dont know what they are doing sitting in that pond.
The guitarist in my band is a Huge fan of the Allmans, we only play covers yet we never play any of their songs? Go figger.
Back in the period I now refer to as my black crowes years we used to mess around in rehearsals jamming versions of Allmans songs , Skynyrd and ( shamefully ) The Marshall Tucker Band. For reasons lost in the mists of time we found ourselves playing a bikers rally in some godforsaken lawless corner of the borders. Fortunately the extended jamming of all that southern rock is quite probably the only reason I am still here today as opposed to rotting in a ditch between scotland and england with a motorbike spike lodged in my skeletal chest cavity. those were the days
Was listening to this. Dont know what made me dig it out, havent listened to it in years. Remarkable sound, recorded live in a church ( I think ) through a couple of pzm microphones suspended from the ceiling [video=youtube_share;JOrNMDzJfzY]http://youtu.be/JOrNMDzJfzY[/video]
