What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.VIII)

Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011

With 2012 almost upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread.  I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.

 

Anyway, links:

Do they put on a big show-Loud ?

Stu.

Very loud (and intense) Stu! Also lots of improvisation and fiddling with effects boxes, knobs etc. Great to watch. There are some decent clips on YouTube and Vimeo if you type in "Battles live".

No idea, Debs. It is you and Doug who are the experts on finding golf clubs on CD's art work.

 

Haim

Looks like he's tearing up his piano. Adds a spin on the smile, doesn't it?

It appears to be some artistic magician show with piano hammers:

Musically, [and the film] rather dated now, but will always be a great fun blast.

That Yah-Yah guitar sound was put about by Jimmy Page apparently, a few years before he made his mark with Led Zep.

Actually they have all the markings of the first original handmade European miniature golf clubs from around 1926.  It was Herr Schröder, from Hamburg, Germany, who had so much fun on a recent trip to America where the craze was just taking off that he was responsible for bringing the game back to Germany with him .

 

(Aleg: those are grand piano keys - not hammers - but just keep that between you and me, hee hee)

A reward for myself after a long day and to welcome the dusk and fast approaching darkness...

Hi Debs,

 

Excellent stuff. Yes, it's kind of kitsch, but somehow works. I've only seen the film once, and about all I can remember is that Alain Delon is very French, and Marianne comes to a sticky end.

 

I didn't know about the Jimmy Page connection, and he is of course also in Blow Up. I'm sure I've posted this scene before...

Hi Haim,

 

Yes, it's a great film. Other than a couple of tracks, such as the above scene with The Yardbirds, the music's almost all Herbie, and very 'groovy'. Well worth tracking down.
