@Evan_Dando@JamesLeonDavid1 What the hell?! I never knew that. Was just talking about how amazing his work with Dolly Parton was. The solo on Packin’ It Up is one of my all-time favourites.
The Israel Lobby trying to get a teacher fired because the band he’s been playing in since 1982 have a few jokes at hitler’s expense might be the thing that turn Gen Xs and millennials against Israel. Ludicrous, hateful behaviour. @brooke_gc really is a useful idiot.
Amazing achievement by Buddy last night but people talking as though it will definitely never happen again are actively ignoring the existence of a Nick Larkey.
Anyone who thinks Eddie Van Halen was all about speed and flashy solos fundamentally doesn’t understand him as a guitarist. His rhythm playing is otherworldly and his ear for melody is completely unmatched by any of his imitators.
The Jesus and Mary Chain's William Reid calls Eddie Van Halen "one of the worst guitar players in the world" and argues that Van Halen's speed and flashy solos "ruined rock guitar."

“The Riverboat Song” gave Ocean Colour Scene their breakthrough moment in 1996, helped by its use on TFI Friday and the growing wave of Britpop. This Top of the Pops appearance captured the band just as they were moving from the club circuit into the mainstream.
@MusicBrownlow I played the ever loving fuck out of this ep. Being 14 at the time I naturally assumed my own band would have a number one hit sometime the following year.
@MusicBrownlow 3. Rolling in the Deep
2. To Make You Feel My Love (one of very few Dylan covers that is as good as, if not better than, the original)
1. Send My Love (To Your New Lover)
