Blackbeard to conquer the World
If only it was Mr P, if only..
No the sad news is my 4 year son has worked out how to use Sky+ and keeps rewinding and playing the song over and over and over. I found myself singing the bloody thing at work the other day. How embarrassing….
Blackbeard to conquer the World
Argus – Wishbone Ash
One of the great albums of the 70s.
Every track is sublime.

Wishbone Ash seem to have passed me by; we must have existed in parallel universes in the 70’s. Just listened to Throw down the Sword and it’s rather wonderful. Just what I need as I’m just starting to get tired of Tom Petty. [they did wear some daft clothes, though…..]

I got very tired of Tom Petty after hearing half a song of his.
Yes, the clothes were something else back then, though the styles did change considerably from the early 70s to the late 70s, as I recall.
As for Argus; voted album of the year in 1972. Not a bad feat considering the number of very good albums that were released that year.

Indeed, good choice H
I still have my first-pressing, which is worth a few bob now
Something of a forgotten masterpiece I’d venture
Amongst all the top-notch twin-lead rock there’s that dreamy folky interlude – Leaf and Stream – which is the tenderest of toons
Asked a friend at work [the only one at all interested in good music] if she had any Wishbone Ash stuff on Friday….found a ‘best of’ cd in my porch this morning. Friday was, sadly, her last day working with us; she’s moving further oop north.
R.I.P Gary, we can’t believe that you’re gone.
Shampoo and brandy, way to go
Goodnight.Did you see the recent BBC4 Thin Lizzy retrospective Mr P?
All good stuff
Scott Gorham was looking in fine fettle for a near-60yo considering his consumption of alcohol and alkaloids matched that of dear, departed Phil Lynott
Coiffed grey hair, polo neck, sports jacket and golf…oh well
On the other hand ‘Robbo’ Robertson at 55 looks ready for the Obits page, and Brian Downey has taken on the guise of a retired Geography teacher
Great band…forever young
Kate Bush – Army Dreamers
As a metal kid of the 80’s used to deride Thin Lizzy as a bit soft.
A big mistake as in retrospect they were a cracking bar band. The Hold Steady in parts remind me of TL, although it’s more the riffs and rhythms than the vocals. Cracking live band anyway.
Anyway, the ipod was cranking through Metric’s Old World Underground as I dropped off last night.
