Macca closed out the Grammys last night with Golden Slumber, Carry that Weight and The End, on which Springsteen, Joe Walsh and Dave Grohl joined him, for what can only be described as Guitar Bukkake. This is brilliant

can any act/band/performer ever end their recording career in a better way? (and in the end....)

Nope. you can't beat perfection

[The Nal]

haha.. .yea, brilliant. Joe Walsh 'wins'..... (imo)

*cough*....... Her Majesty. Love that as a little cheeky coda.

But you're right.

[Ed209]

Should also say congratulations to Adele last night. She totally cleaned up. Big respect, a proper recording artist

I can't help but laugh my arse off when she talks though

Thought the Grammys that were awarded last night were a disgrace. An evening of rewarding non inventive, safe, dull and radio friendly music.

Just shit.

Loved this though. "Who is this old guy" all over Twitter!

yeah, you have a point. I was just making the case that at least Adele writes her own stuff and sells records with her voice, rather than shaking her butt to a load of lasers and backing dancers doing cartwheels.

Which reminds me, thought Rhianna looked terrible last night. Seemed as though she was doing her own tribute to Whitney Houston by being totally fucked up on coke. Wouldn't be surprised if we see her life spiraling out of control soon

doesn't count...

not for any reason except it spoils it

I like it! Very much a Beatles thing to do.

[Ed209]

I'm with Tony, Her Majesty does slightly annoy me where it is. But who am I to argue with Macca. Its a fun little tune. Octopus' Garden is Abbey Road's Yellow Submarine/Within you Without you/Wild Honey Pie

Speaking of Within You Without You.

Incredible cover.

[Ed209]

can't listen to it at work, but I'll check it out later. The original pisses me off, for me it totally upsets the flow of Pepper. But then again, who am I to argue.

Newly reformed Beach Boys peformed last night as well. They sounded pretty good, I really wonder how much of the vocals they're actually doing though, I imagine the "backing singers" mics are actually turned up full blast. Mike Love does his best at a Jimmy Saville impression as well. A little embarrassing

Been listening to a lot of Stevie Ray Vaughan again recently. Going through a phase.

He had some tekkers!

Also been listening to Rachmaninov. Incredibly complex stuff and maybe the saddest shit Ive ever heard.

[Mardy]

Know what, this page has got me thinking. I've never listened to a Beatles album. Heard the singles, how can you not growing up in our culture, it's folk music, but never bought/downloaded/streamed/consciously played any of their stuff. Hmmm...

There's a corner of Hell waiting for you

hehehe, it's not a deliberate thing, and it's not based on dislike, I'm not that awkward or bloody minded, just never got round to it or felt the need to.

You're in a position I would love to be in. So many happy times ahead!

Also Harvest by Neil Young is 40 years old.

... Neil Young ....

I wonder if Neil still feeds the ducks at the pond in the town (morelike a village) where he lives (or lived?) - I saw him doing that once nearly 20 years ago now but didn't have the bottle to say hello.

I can't actually remember where that was, but it might have been called Woodside or something (if not it was somewhere close-ish by to what I'm thinking was called Woodside). Somewhere near-ish to San Fransisco.

Broken Arrow Ranch, near the Woodside Hills yeah. Hes lived there for 40 years.

You been there Neil?

yeah, drove past the house (or at least, the house my friends said was his), and then later on when in Woodside he was sat by the pond.

On the same trip or another one around the same time I also drove past Clint Eastwood's house (same proviso as above) in Carmel - on 18 Mile Drive if I'm remembering correctly.

My memory of Clint's gaff is of a surprisingly small bungalow with a nine-hole pitch and putt on the front lawn - but it's possible I have a confused memory there, and I remember that particular house just because it was very different to all the mansions that made up most of the road.

Got to be honest, I'm not a celeb annoyer (of the few I've met) but I would have walked up and said hello to Shakey.

And a picture with Clint Eastwood would be a welcome addition to any downstairs toilet!

Tune!

RIP Michael Davis. Bass player.

Also, Black Sabbath are no more. They're now "Ozzy and Friends" and they've cancelled a load of gigs.

Neil Young busking in Glasgow in 1976.

Been listening to a lot of Neil bootlegs recently.

This from a bar in New York in 1974 being one of my favourites. Not great quality but the "intro" to Motion Pictures is hilarious.
