They Say We're Young And We Don't Know...
No posts for ages and then two straight after each other.
However, this is pure TV gold. The Stones on Ready Steady Go!
Keith on tuba. Absolute fucking genius.
Can't You Hear Me Knocking?
Seems that those good folk over at YouTube have taken down some of the lovely videos I have posted up here. Ah well.
To make up for it, I have found Josh Kalis in the last Alien Workshop promo, "Kalis In Mono".
Well, it was packed with a Habitat promo called "Regal Road". Props due to AWS/Habitat 'cos they do it proper, like. Good videos and graphics an' that.
Anyway, here's Kalis:
Biggie back tail, yo. Powerful

Who Breaks A Butterfly On A Wheel?
It's been so long...
Not to worry. Here's the amazing video for the mighty We Love You. What more could you ask for?
Lennon & McCartney on backing vocals, Marianne as Lord Alfred Douglas, Keith in an fantastic wig, and Jagger in a rug.
Oh... and Brian looking seriously off it. Definitely on his way out.
Basically, it's a homage to the trial of 'butch' Oscar Wilde. It's all about the infamous drugs bust at Keith's 'pad' at Redlands, Sussex when The Glimmer Twins got sent down for possession and Marianne flashed a policeman. It made The Times when William Rees-Mogg wrote an article condemning the sentence handed down.
Blimey. The swinging sixties, eh?

What A Drag It Is Getting Old...
Today is David Bowie's SIXTIETH birthday.Fucking hell.
I guess we're all getting older.
Anyway, to celebrate this, here's a video of two of rock's grand dames camping it up like there's no tomorrow. You can tell it's the eighties as Jagger's sporting some sort of Reebok workout shoe.
There's also a live version from 1986 with McCartney introducing them. Worth checking out, but certainly not as amusing as the other vid.
Happy Birthday, David.

Their Satanic Majesties Request
The Dirty Mac on The Rock N' Roll Circus.
Keith on bass, Clapton on lead, Mitch Mitchell on drums. Oh... and some dude called Winston Leg-thigh on vocals.
Awesome.

Happy Birthday, Keith
Today is Keith's birthday. Sixty-three years young.
I hope I can get away with blue hair and bits of jewellery hanging from it at his age.
Absolute fucking legend.

Absolute Fucking Legend
Two for the price of one.
Hunter S. Thompson in conversation with Keith.
Download the whole interview here.
Paint It, Black.
Of course.
The Tom Penny Mix Tape.
Classic.
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
It's been a while, so let's have a bit of skateboarding.The nimble feet of Paul Shier, from Blueprint's 'Lost & Found'... soundtracked by an absolute belter from 'Goat's Head Soup'.
You can download the whole of 'Lost & Found' from here, but if you don't own it already, you should buy it from here. Go on, you know you should. Support the industry and all that.
As a little treat, you could go and download this classic, as it has 'Gimme Shelter' on the soundtrack.
'Paint It Black' has got to be on a video somewhere... hasn't it?

"I Like A Bit Of A Cavort."
Performance was on TV last night.
Apparently, Jagger based Turner on a composite of himself, Keith and Brian. And while he was poncing about on set, Keith was sat in his car outside fretting about what Mick was up to with Anita. Ah, the swinging sixties...
Expand your mind. Go and read some Borges.
"Memo From T". Brilliant.
Actually, while we're on the subject, Happy Mondays were big fans of the movie. Check out the number of samples from it on the classic 'Bummed'.
And this from the criminally underrated Big Audio Dynamite:
which is basically about Nic Roeg.
"I don't think I'm going to let you stay in the film business."
