Geez they are tight!! thanks for posting.

This doco about Phil Lynette is about to drop at the Irish Film Festival (online due to COVID) and may be of interest to you.



Here is an article about it for those not stuck behind a paywall.

The shy boy from Dublin who became a god of rock

Thirty-five years after his death Thin Lizzy’s Phil Lynott remains a hugely influential figure.

Cool. I actually watched an old documentary on him earlier this year that I dug up on Amazon.

Yeah I thought I had already seen one on him too so I was bit surprised to see another one coming out.
I always thought The Strokes and Ween were tipping their hat to Thin Lizzy on these two tracks.

I was only listening to that ween tracka couple of weeks ago and thought exactly the same thing.

I think the doco I watched wasn't very recent

It looks like ABC2 might be playing music docos on Wednesday nights. Last week they had one on Motown and it was great, didn’t realise how many amazing songs Smokey Robinson wrote. Check it out on iView.


Then tonight they are showing the Go Go’s doco that was on during MIFF last year.

Hey Sporno 4 Pyros this just went up a few hours ago. Includes chats with Brian which is cool in itself but with the way Rick breaks songs down I don't know why this has taken so long to do! Some of the vocals and other parts he solos I've never heard soloed before so it's a real treat hearing bits and pieces on their own.. so kind of in a new light after having listened to a song literally hundreds of times over the years. Love the way he just casually nails all the guitar parts too! It's almost 40 minutes but it felt like 10.

Oh great...I will give it a listen (hopefully on my lunch break) really love the other stuff you have posted from Rick so I’m sure this will be great too!!

Just as an addendum to that, I will never understand how The Phrophet's Song has never had more exposure. This is just as epic a song as Bohemian Rhapsody and also has probably the most beautiful interlude to another truly classic song in Love of My Life that I've ever heard. The multitracking vocal gymnastics of Freddy from 3:23 are one of the most incredible things you could listen to through headphones. If you haven't ever done so, do so!

This is the best embed I could find.. it's actually quite good too. I guess that's why it's OFFICIAL.

Accompaniment to today's lit-reviewing.

Anyone heard of 3D or 8D audio?

Trippy stuff.

It’s an interesting effect, but just moving from side to side, it’s a bit distracting I think.

What was really cool was Q-sound which made a brief appearance during the 90’s.
If you sit between the speakers, sounds would come from way outside the normal speaker range, really impressive stuff.
Two of the best examples are Madonna’s “Immaculate Collection”, and Roger Waters “Amused to death”.

That sounds like a weird yet engrossingly positive experience.

One for the oldies. Stumbled across this from 1983 looking for a guitar lesson for 10 years gone. Odd recording as the video drops out in places. Had to post it though for the amazing line up. Steve Winwood, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts and I'm pretty sure the ubiquitous Ray Cooper on drums/percussion/gong destruction. I've probably missed some others. The fun starts about 20 minutes in. I advise skipping the truly awful Stairway to Heaven rendition preceding. Cracking version of Layla though.

Another top notch tune from Parov Stelar here.

I've been obsessed this song since I first heard it 2 years ago, and it still blows my mind this is the same band that did Steal My Sunshine.


Other stuff I've been obsessed with from that era -

This ol' girl is Swinging again.

Not a bad watch. Like it when they first hit the UK and they are like any young person (excited to be in a new country). Spends too much time on some characters (dancing guy).


A lot of those grunge guys were pretty bad at interviews but this is actually an interesting one with Kurdt (maybe because it isn’t the normal banal questions you hear on his MTV interviews of that era)
