CLUB RUDE at the BLAGRAVE ARMS, READING-15/10/09-PLAYLIST and JIM’S RAMBLINGS
MORE AT www.jimz.biz
I often use a speech sample from a Flintstones lp at my other sessions which says” You can’t go back in time, today is today and yesterday is gone forever, you can’t turn back the clock”. Well I beg to differ. Having been there for most of this music/atmosphere the first time around, all I have to do is shut my eyes and I am back there
( There are one or two people however who wish I had stayed there! ) The Blagrave are also very happy with the evening as we continue to pull in slightly more business, due to our great regulars and newbies, than the Goths.
This session was another landmark one as Smiler had with him promo copies of RARE MOD VOL.2, all unreleased tracks, that Damian and himself have compiled for Acid Jazz, together with a copy of the Fleurs 4 track ep which complements the book on the band the geezers will see published in November ( the rumours surrounding the guestlist for the 100 Club launch abound, but its safe to say that as an added bonus at least 2 60’s club icons will also give their vocal chords an outing backed by the Small Fakers). Keith could not make the session and Smiler got away with dropping Lulu, one I would never have contemplated, until I heard it blasting out, superbo!. This gave me the opportunity, but I was going to play them anyway!, to drop The Doc Thomas Group and Mott the Hoople, for personal reasons. Dan also dropped the superb Manish Boys for I think the first time. So the next time I type up one of these, after the session on NOVEMBER 19th, the 100 Club Fleurs gig will have happened and will get fully reported ( Also see the current RECORD COLLECTOR for a great article on the book and the band). BCNU- Not the Legendary Jim
( PS/Pete has already confirmed to me what his topic for discussion will be on the forum, so keep it, oh well!)
