The new Van album - Three Chords and the Truth
Some old school Van, this one sounding a bit Dr John-ish
Robbo, have you read Keith Richards autobiography, LIFE. It is surprisingly well written and reveals more than most, not always favourable.I’ve been listening to the Golden Era of The Rolling Stones while getting about in my car. Sticky Fingers, Beggars Banquet and Let it Bleed. I also had Hot Rocks in there showcasing their hits. I mean there’s so much to like however when I read articles like this I remember why The Stones have never won me over as a fan.
The ultimate lesson at the heart of The Rolling Stones' disastrous concert
Altamont was the logical conclusion to a year that saw the band overwhelmed by its own arrogance, obsessed with money, while devouring anyone who came within its orbit.www.abc.net.au
I’ve read Keef’s book. I love all of that stuff. I’m closer to being a fan of Richards actually. His solo efforts with The Winos are great albums.Robbo, have you read Keith Richards autobiography, LIFE. It is surprisingly well written and reveals more than most, not always favourable.
I've never been a big fan of Keif. And the selfishness and ruthlessness revealed in this book hasn't changed that. Unlike most bio's that paint their subjects in a positive way, carefully avoiding negatives. Bob Mehr's book, Trouble Boys (The true story of the Replacements) is easily the funniest and most entertaining 'band book' I've read.

First 3 chord's I learned on the guitar ..go very well to gether too .On and those three chords. I’d start with G, D and C. That‘ll get you through the 50s and 60s...
Booked in for ‘The Wall’ in January.I went to the Melbourne Planetarium last night. My wife booked it but kept all the details to herself. We went with friends and stopped in at the Twobirds Brewery for a meal and a beer before the show.
The 9.00pm screening last night was a very animated, mind blowing look up at the ceiling while we listened to Pink Floyd’s ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’. It was memorable not only because of the iconic soundtrack but also because of your brain playing tricks as you watched the animation. They sense of flying when you’re not flying is a tad unsettling.
I can highly recommend it. Next month it’s ‘The Wall’. A double album. So it will be twice the fun.

My favourite Pink Floyd album is ‘Wish you were here’. It just hangs together so well.I was a HUGE Floyd fan when I was younger, but sadly 'The Wall' was the only album I couldn't stand....Dark Side of the Moon would have been brilliant at the Planetarium though.
I remember going to see 'Pink Floyd live at Pompeii' at the Dromana Drive In when I was a teen - brilliant on the big screen, but it was back in the days when you had the little speaker hanging from the side window, so the sound was crap.
