The SUBSIM Music Thread

^ The drum sound in the Buffalo Springfield recording isn't actually a drum kit; the band had recorded the track originally in one studio but were unhappy with the drum sound, so they took the tapes to Gold Star Studios, the place where a slew of very important artists recorded, like all of Phil Spector's famed productions and The Beach Boys, who recorded a great many of their early hits including the album Pet Sounds; Springfield were still not pleased with the drum sound using a normal kit setup, so one of the studio's owners took a guitar, wrapped it in paper, got a bass (kick) drum (playing the foot pedal with his hand) and played the two as percussion for the track; the result was Buffalo Springfield's first hit record...


This is the latest single released by The Rolling Stones as a sort of music to be locked down by:

I said "The lyrics 'Love grows where Rosemary goes...', its obviously about fertilizer..." She thought for a moment, got a disgusted look on her face and said "Ruined. Now every time I'll hear that song, I'll think: fertilizer..."...


@Jimbuna...

Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel!! There's some names I haven't heard in a long, long while: they kind of came into the attention of the Glam Rock scene here in LA back in the mid-70s on Bowie's coattails; I don't think they had a US national following, but they were known and followed here in LA and a few other US scenes; this is the song I best remember them by:





This, I recall, was also very big with the local groupie girls...

@Vienna it seems you also ruined this Rosemary song for me, too

^^ Steve Harley, "Sebastian" was the favourite song of my then-girlfriend. Reminds me also of their "Harley David, son of a bitch", and at the same time the Bollock Brothers performing scottish Alex Harvey's "Faith Healer" live in Einbeck in the 1980ies, was great to watch and hear



And the original, never saw them unfortunately (but still have the vinyl LP):



Beware of the clowns ..

Beware of the clowns ..

I recall seeing this film clip of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band on US TV back in the mid-70s; when I firt saw it, I thought "They're all very demented..."...

I became a fan instantly,,,

...and, yes, beware of the clowns...





The subject matter of the above clip brought to mind this song :
