The Comedian Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 The Wire using "Body of an American" for cop wakes is just one of the many, many reasons it's the greatest tv show of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew POE! Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Mars Williams of Psychedelic Furs died on November 20. I managed to catch Psychedelic Furs and Squeeze when they came to Atlanta about two months ago. Crazy that was one of his last shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Not a good week at all. Somehow we've not mentioned: Scott Kemper, guitarist and founding member of The Dictators died. Also, somehow no one mentioned Geordie Walker, guitarist for Killing Joke died. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) I was just coming in here to post about Geordie! I forget about Killing Joke a lot but I like What's THIS For....!, Fire Dances, and Night Time a good deal (even if that first EP and the later stuff is overrated/not my cuppa). Myles Goodwin from April Wine just passed away as well. I've honestly never even heard them, to my recollection, but like other bands such as Y&T, Triumph, Pat Travers, etc. they were standards of the early '80s hard rock scene and were listened to by a lot of bands I listen to. RIP EDIT: Of course I'm listening to the first one and it's great. Young me was stupid (current me is too but that's a different story). I've, errr, got some listening to do (like that tape of Extremities in the tape case up to my left).

In memoriam, can we finally admit both "Girl You Know It's True," and "Blame it on the Rain," are certified bangers? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew this! I've had the Milli Vanilli doc on my watchlist for awhile, guess I should have watched it instead of investing so much time in The Curse.

However, I had watched interviews with Rob Morvan (re: Milli Vanilli) and researched a bit to know the group was just an amalgamation of different male (and female) singers w/ Rob and Fab as the lip syncing front men. Boney M, on the hand, was Frank singing all of Bobby Farrell's parts. AFAIK, the female singers of the group actually sung their parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Fun fact: all 4 members of Boney M were legally allowed to tour individually as Boney M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boney M, one of the female singers' voice (Maizie Williams) was not used in studio recordings. Farrell and Williams did sing during live performances, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hit Parade podcast has a good two parter on Milli Vanilli and Farin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Even if it wasn't Bobby on the records, nobody else could dance like Bobby. I swear there is a reason between me looking up "Daddy Cool" on Youtube and seeing a full video of the film Cocaine: One Man's Seduction in the sidebar, but I just can't get the... ...connection.

Curt McGirt Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I read his autobiography last year and give it the highest recommendation. He was there at the birth of rock and roll and describes it in detail. He was always a freedom fighter, always one bad motherfucker. The greatest. RIP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
