Led Zeppelin - No Quarter - 34:37 from the triple live album 'Legendary End'

.......aah, I never get bored of watching documentaries of Queen, what with Freddies' fantakkers, ultra-powerful and effective vocal performances, John Deacons' killer bass lines, Rogers' drumming and Brians' virtuosity on guitars - a great insight into their later years, also good to see a bit of how "One Vision" was written......

.......all the way through the two-part documentary, a bewilderingly huge selection of hair-styles and fashion disasters from the band apart from Brian May, who seems to have kept his Georgian period big-hair do and clogs (along with the Wild West-esque waistcoats, only otherwise ever seen in Clint Eastwood Western movies and the like) for the last 200 years - seriously, very sad to see previously unseen piccys of Freddie in his last days as he was filming the "I'm Going Slightly Mad" videos looking so ill, and caked in make-up to hide it - imho, three of the most poignant songs he ever sang were "These Were The Days Of Our Lives", "Lily Of The Valley" and "Love Of My Life", which was about his one-time girlfriend Mary Austin (as any fule kno) - and very touching to see the extraordinary degree of loyalty, even to this day, the rest of the band display towards Freddie - right to the end, Freddies' voice was still full of power - and to think he'll have been gone twenty years this autumn as well................

........top respect to Queen, the sounds of MY youth - we'll probably not see their like again - Paul Rodgers, very nice stand-in and that, probably the most natural would be George Michael but I doubt they'll ever try any more vocalists now - it was an absolute privilege to have been around while they were in their prime..............



.....lets' just see whats' going down on 6 Music now (with some ahem pithy sleeve notes I should imagine)......

1. "Mercury" - Bloc Party (very nice - I'm liking this)

2. "Louder Than Ever" - Cold War Kids

3. "Calgary" - Bon Iver

4. "Going Out Of My Head" - Fatboy Slim (sweet Jezus, what a crock of cack, so bloody repetitive - what IS all this about?)

5. "Tell Me A Tale" - Michael Kiwanuka (bit of retro-soul from a new Brit artist - very good - just goes to show its' not ALL goblins, misty mountain hops, dragons and 3 hour keyboard solos in Mr_Ws' play-lists - only mainly)

6. "Candy Love Satellite" - That Petrol Emotion

7. "Hi-Speed Soul" - Nada Surf (wowser, some proper groovin' soundz here and no mistake - the Surf are a US alt rock outfit)

8. "Showroom Dummies" - Kraftwerk - especially for Mr_Chelstongull methinks (from March '77 - "Trans-Europe Express" album - excellent Kraut-rock electronic doodlin' and noodlin' of the highest standard)

9. "LIFEGOESON - Life Goes On" - Noah And the Whale

10. "Holding On To Black Metal" - My Morning Jacket (off their new album - "Circuital" - they're another emo-rock-ish US outfit)

11. "Baby Lemonade" - Syd Barrett - brilliant to finish with.........

.........excellent late night selection from 6 there..........

PS:

........I believe chunks of this weekends' Isle Of Wight Festival are being screened live on Sky Arts 1 channel this Fri, Sat and Sun night if any other muzos are interested, top acts are Foo Fighters, Kings Of Leon and Kasabian I think, with the mighty Jeff Beck occupying the traditional "hoary auld rocker" Sunday night slot - that'll be well worth taping, Phil (Chelstongull), I reckon - I imagine Portsmouth Harbour railway station (where IOW ferries run out of) will be full of drug-detection police dogs later this morning, its' the usual routine as the "great unwashed" turn up to make their way to Newport - saw one geezer earlier with a bleddy wheel-barrow full of his camping kit (and much ale)..........

.......anyone on here lucky enough to have tickets for Glasto in a couple of weeks' time, or having to settle for BBC coverage like me? - actually its' well good the Beeb coverage (won't be covering local crazies and Psycho-folk-punk loons Mad Dog Mcrea though I imagine), Mark Radcliffe and Lauren Laverne I can handle as presenters, its' just that infernal eejit Jo Wiley who drives me up the God-damned wall, and as for Colin "King Herbert" Murray, who turns up there as well usually - could be worse, it could be "Janice "Scouse Mutterer extraordinaire" Long I s'pose, currently hid on the midnight-0200 shift on Radio 2 during the week.............

..........how very, very sad to hear of the demise of Clarence Clemons, Bruce Springsteens' sax player from the E Street Band, another fine light extinguished - RIP "The Big Man" - forever "Born To Run".................

........."Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road" - Bruce (The Boss) Springsteen & The E Street Band..........
