Brilliant stuff. I miss rock bands like these, and these two in particular. Still remember driving from Noosa to Brisbane in a clapped out VL half baked with my brother at some ungodly hour rocking out to Spoonman and Epic. -
Spent most of the weekend working, and had Buddy Holly rolling in a continuous loop for most of it. Fabulous songwriter, and those short snappy rockabilly numbers help make the time fly.

In my opinion, Buddy was the real king of rock 'n roll. Shame we didn't hear so much more from him.<br />
<br />
The 1st non negro to get a standing ovation at the Appolo theatre, after they booed him when he 1st walked out onto stage. -
Right now, at this minute, i'm listening to this:<br />

Probably the best lazy summer afternoon relax song ever written.<br />

If you can listen to this and honestly say you dislike it, i'll buy you a pie. -

Some pretty wild backstage stories about him too. Totally at odds with the geeky white guy image that was portrayed, the man was a sexually deviant animal by some accounts. -

See, I always thought that he was the true king.<br />
Look at what he started for all others to follow in his footsteps. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /><br />

Best to avoid eating felafels when viewing this. The guy who "He Died With a Felafel in His Hand" was watching this exact same viddie when he, prosaically enough, died with a felafel in his hand.<br />

(Btw, is it just me, or does anyone else reckon Noah Taylor is the doppelganger of Nick Cave, in the same way that Al Pacino is the doppleganger of Bruce Springsteen; and Jack Nicholson to Neil Young, etc. ...) -

It's criminal that I didn't realise how 'cool as fuck' that song was when I was a kid. No snare on the snare drum, cool bass line, cowbell in the chorus, awesome smarmy singing,tight musicianship, nice rhythm guitar... it's the drug for me -

Seem FNM twice in the past 12 months, once in Auckland, the other in New York. They put on a fantastic show, despite Mike Patten being in a bit of a pissy mood in Auckland. His vocal range and skill is quite something.<br />

Really disappointed that Soundgarden won't be at Big Day Out next year, I had high hopes. -

The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset<br />
I dont think I'll ever tire of Waterloo Sunset... -
Got some landscapers outside my window, they're blasting classic-rock fm radio this afternoon. Had to chuckle when I heard a staple here, The Pat Travers Band, "Snortin' Whiskey (Drinkin' Cocaine)."<br />
<br />
<br />
Hard to believe that song came out during Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" campaign and is still getting lots of airplay. Love the yelled chorus, [I]"I've got So Much Cocaine, I-Ain't-Ever-Comin'-Down!"[/I] <br />
<br />

The comments at the youtube thread are almost as good as the song. I know dickall about Travers, but from the comments I learned this:<br />

The original vinyl had an inscription on either side...one said "macho side" and the other "pussy side"...this can be found on the lead out groove next to the label.<br />
