Not perfect. Never claimed to be.

I saw Aerosmith twice, in 1989 and 1993.
We saw Aerosmith on their first visit to the UK. They played Reading Festival and were booed off the stage, with beer cans filled with urine being thrown at them. 1977 ? That was a bad year for them at festivals all over the States too. They were at the height of their substance abuse then. Only four years into their recording career, too. It took ten years to clean up and get back on track. It was a GALLON container full of used beer that smacked me on the back of the head at Reading 87, also ten years later, that lead me to have a year off festivals in '88, try Glasto in '89 and '90, and wind up in Cropredy later in '90. Funny how things work out. It was indeed 1977. The beer cans filled with urine included Party Sevens.

It is rather lovely. There's a Christmas single floating around too that'll be nice again in about 6 months time.

Funny how things work out. Reading 87 was good fun on the whole. 88 was a terrible, terrible festival. My tall friend Simon and I used to stand back to back during the intervals between sets, so we could fend off projectiles at 80s festivals...

The Lovely Eggs, after reading an article about them on the Guardian site this morning.

I just discovered them by way of a conversation with a much younger person, a few weeks ago. There's a Richard Brautigan connection, apparently.

Tudor Lodge : It All Comes Back (Scenescof CD, 1998).
This is a nice collection of outtakes, acetates etc. Not always the best audio, but very well mastered and listenable.
Linda Thompson completists might be interested to know she appears on 4 tracks.

Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Saw them at Beautiful Days quite recently - interesting blend of punk-pop interspersed with down to earth tales of wife and husband domesticity. There was an interview on 6music very recently too (Chris Hawkins I think) that should be on BBC Sounds.

String Driven Thing : The Machine that Cried (Esoteric CD, 2012).
This is rather good, although the CD sounds somewhat bright. Interesting sleeve essay. SDT were another band who had stuff to offer but never quite got the credit they deserved.
