Fuck, Band on the wall is sold out, GUTTED!
Pish. Didnât know about this. Can only find tickets for Glasgow. Which is a bit far like.
It was one of those things I didnât think much of, then it turned out to be really good according to a few heads I saw post about it online. So, thought itâd be nice to go and see, like.
Shame there isnât any closer!
At a Brian Jones Town Massacre gig so good
If this doesnât belong here, I donât know what does.
(Iâd like to thank the YouTube algorithm
for this âun).
Dinosaur Jr, Just Like Heaven.
About 20 years ago I guess, I interviewed Jeffrey Lewis for Document mag. He was a lovely bloke, as youâd expect. Unexpectedly, a couple of weeks later, he sent over a little comic strip that he had drawn, a rad little story about me and the photographer coming to the gig and going backstage and interviewing him. I sent it to Percy at Doco but it was too late to get into the mag, that monthâs deadline had passed and the interview was already done. That was the noughties, I soon lost track of the PC and email account that I had at that time, Doco mag disappeared, and I never saw that little comic strip again.
So, hereâs Slayer at the final Black Sabbath show. Check out their cover of Wicked World, it goes into South Of Heaven in the middle then comes back into Sabbath for the end.
Hahaa, so this is frustratingâŚ
After typing that out just now, I thought Iâd see if I could still get into that old email account.
Turns out I could, but this is the only related email that I could findâŚ
So closeâŚ
You messaged him to ask? Reckon heâd still have it seems to archive everything
I just did!
I emailed his address from â02, which appears to still be a thing, as it has a recently updated profile pic. Letâs see!
haha. Excellent. Lets see how this unfolds.
He replied!
What a nice fellow.
He said â ⌠No memory of that comic strip. I do recall being in some skate magazine, probably that one because why would I ever be in one skate magazine, let alone more than one?â
As for him archiving everything⌠âI ought to still have it somewhere. But did scanners even exist in 2002? I remember having to physically mail artwork to Rough Trade for my album cover! Hmm. â
I donât expect him to start looking through all his stuff for a tiny bit of paper that he canât remember from 2002. But, stoked. At least I got to apologise for him wasting his effort and it never being printed. Right, Iâm off to listen to Bad Wiring.
Thatâs very cool.
I really rate him. His album of Crass covers is solid. And the Fall covers one, too!
Not live, but this is fun as fuck: Republican Rednecks
What a legend
