I remember the theme being wildly evocative and well suited to the subject. This, like Tarzan, Flipper, I Love Lucy, Batman, Bewitched!, The Monroes and many others, showed up on British television too.

The great all-star West Coast all-star album. Cheesed off by the waning of the love years, plus Nixon’s election, he cooked up a concept album about hippies taking off from Earth to create a new world. “Back to the garden,” I think his phrase was. Loved the idea!

Let’s not beat about the bush.

The ‘Ostrich’ approach to life beyond the front door has been hugely complicit in this.

“Oh, it’ll be alright” has to be the worst phrase in 21st century polite conversation. It isn’t, and won’t be. World Destruction is more than a great record

Watched this gem a few weeks back. Barry was always in & out of the Record Collector offices late 80s/early 90s. I’ll always thank him for introducing me to Vincent Crane. Barry was full of tales - but I wished I’d asked him if he was related to the humanitarian Nicholas Winton.

Sodajerker I have thoughts …..

Another US import that will discourage/prevent certain people from voting - mostly those who desperately need a voice. Democracies, eh?

“Kids were saying, Were there really no jobs in the 1980s? And they were saying, We’re doing 2 2-bob jobs now. And their parents were doing 3 2-bob jobs. Nothing’s changed. They’ve just found a different way of punishing us.” Alan Bleasedale, Broadcasting House, R4. #MindTheGap

“Planet Earth is blue / And there’s nothing I can do…” 🎶

This is technical craftsmanship to the most guitar worship guilty pleasure possible.

Only SUNN O))) has been able to achieve this and since 1998.

Bring it. You cannot.

All. Hail.

Now, that looks like a must-experience.

Look out, you rock’n’rollin’ space age bachelors! 🎶

I’m afraid that was me and my mate who shrieked both times Jack Casady took a bass solo at the Roundhouse in 1976. Still have the wild gig and shameful episode on cassettes. It lasted for something like two and a half hours. We were transported to the Carousel Ballroom, 1968.

Best ever pose by the Rotten one.

Looks like Brian’s having a stiff one after a court appearance.

Jimi Hendrix with Kevin Ayers of Soft Machine backstage in Rochester, New York on March 21, 1968.

Based on play and chances, that was a 3-1 game. Yet hanging on for the point near the end. It probably wouldn’t work, and certainly won’t happen, but I can’t help thinking how deadly a Solanke/Ivan Toney striker pairing would be. I know, dream on…
