A WEE REMINDER
To mark this day where Amy comes out of isolation and
can make it to the post office again, here’s Part 5 of her Girl to City podcast.
All other episodes are available there too. I took delivery of more copies of
the book the other day so any UK/Europe orders would be turned around real quick.
It’s an ideal diversion for this current malarkey in which we find ourselves.
A portal to another time.
Check this out too...

A WEE MESSAGE FROM THE SILO - POST NUMBER 7000
There goes April. Not much in the way
of showers until this past couple of days but it’s hardly believable how the
world has turned upside down. I’ll attempt to keep the daily posts going
because it doesn’t seem like there’s going to be much else to do.
My email is out of action but I figure that anyone who needs to contact me is aware of how to do that. This
could be an opportunity to just let that all go.
However, if what goes on here helps
you through a few minutes then the job is done. This is Post 7000. It all
kicked off in 2003 and the direction of travel has changed
little in these seventeen (going on crazy) years. If it hadn’t been for Jeroen
Vedder out in yonder Netherlands then you might have been spared this.
These
clips capture everything we hold dear. We can’t let that become past tense.

WRECKLESS ERIC HAS THIS BUG THAT'S DOING THE WORLD. NOT GOOD NEWS BUT HE"S GOING TO BE ALRIGHT!
In case you didn't hear the news that came in yesterday. Here's the take on it by the man himself. And if you never read his blog before then you're in for a treat.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE OF BAD BEHAVIOUR
BEWARE OF THIS SCAM BY THIEVING BASTARDS IN MADRID AND LIKELY ELSEWHERE. There's been an outbreak of utter cuntery in addition to what you're already having to suffer. Some scumbag has come up with the wheeze of pretending to be out favourite hostelries such as Weirdo Bar! and Wurlitzer to try and siphon cash from patrons. They're using the logos and pictures from the bars to look official. Funhouse, Mongo and Chopper Monster have also fallen victim to this underhand development. As if people could stoop much lower.
THIS IS NOT THE BARS. IF THEY WERE DOING ANYTHING IT WOULD COME THROUGH OFFICIAL CHANNELS. THIS MAKES ME RAGING MAD BECAUSE I"M CONCERNED ENOUGH THAT I MIGHT NEVER ENTER THESE SACRED PORTALS AGAIN. So please, think at least three times before you donate. It's terrible to have to do that but this is what we're up against. It makes the 'we're all in this together' line ring pretty hollow.
Anyway, I was just taking care of a couple things when I saw this and wondered if overseas folks might see this and want to help. As soon as anything official happens to that regard then I shall circulate all relative information.
THERE GOES MY BLOOD PRESSURE AGAIN.

MUSIC FOR GLOVES
Jarama 45rpm.
If you feel like you have some spare cash and are sitting in your bunker craving entertainment then have a look (and listen).
Is there a similar campaign here in the UK? Hit me up with details if there is. Other countries too. I'm led to believe we get visits from all over.

RIP - DAVID RITCHIE
An important part of the Glasgow music fraternity. I'm genuinely saddened to hear this. Davie released the Wreckless Eric cover of "Sweet Jane" on his Vibrascope label.
My condolences to Donna and his friends and family.

CURRO'S MADRID!
I was really looking forward to seeing this in real time but that's not happening under the circumstances. So come take a virtual walk around the exhibit with me.
Click the image of what could well be the coolest cinema in the world.
DANGER EVERYBODY! AND NOT JUST FOR WILL ROBINSON!!
If
you’re here for a tune during my facebag isolation period then welcome, I shall
endeavour to post something every day provided I’m in a condition to do so.
This is a far from essential service but it might entertain you. And for now I’m
going to refrain from people who died.
But the name of the act is very apt for the occasion. This fine wee combo ought to kick off this strand just right.

RIP - DANNY MIHM
 |
| Danny Mihm at Hurrah, NY 1979 Photo by Tom Bessoir |
First
time I saw him was at the Whisky a Go Go in 1979 when I travelled all the way
to California from NY just to see the Groovies. Roy Loney and the Phantom
Movers opened those shows and I was amazed at what Danny could do with a small
drum kit. That kit got smaller and smaller over the years. By the
time I saw him last maybe 20 years later, at a dive on Haight Street, again with
Roy, he was down to a snare, kick and high hat.
But
that was all he needed. His signature snare rolls never ceased to
excite.
A
lot of people don't realize that Danny not only played on classics like Teenage
Head and Slow Death, but also You Tore Me Down and Shake Some Action. One time
in the 80's, I ran into Danny right on my street. I dragged him back to
my place and played him The Trip * demo. First thing he said: "It
sounds just like the Groovies!" Mission
accomplished.
Danny
Mihm was, to my mind, one of the greatest rock n roll drummers ever. Tremendously
underrated.
