A small Pastis, a game of boules and a conversation putting the rock and roll world to rights, which this week includes …
… why Debbie Harry and Mick Jagger worked so well on the small screen.
… Elvin Pelvin on the Bilko Show and how Elvis was modelled on Tony Curtis.
… An American Werewolf In London, The Birds, Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, Don’t Look Now, Nightmare On Elm Street and other old movies being rebooted.
… how Patti Smith based an entire career on looking like Keith Richards in 1972 and making records that sounded like they were produced by someone who looked like Keith Richards in 1972.
… a record separated from its sleeve ceases to exist.
… why doesn’t anyone remake classic albums?
… “Once we had something complete and perfect. And what happened? You spent it!”
… how CDs never have “materiality”.
… further proof that Oasis are the most conservative thing in pop music.
… primitive connections and how the album sleeve is the same size as a native American warrior’s shield.
… sounds that date records precisely - eg the syndrum.
Plus birthday guest Patrick Butler.
