All the leaves are brown and the sky’s a bit unruly but mellow fruitfulness abounds in this week’s pick of the rock and roll news. Add to basket …
… is Morrissey hacked off, broke or just desperate for attention?
… are stadium gigs the new tourism?
… bucket hats, Man City, lads culture … how did America finally ‘get’ Oasis?
… singles that weren’t on albums
… are we sated by an overabundance of music?
… how Gary Numan got a record deal
… why Gene Loves Jezebel are the new Sam & Dave!
… the new age of the rock and roll pilgrimage
… did Slade record the Hokey Cokey? The Dave Clark Five did Neil Young? The Troggs did Foxy Lady?
… the Jam, the Yardbirds, The Nice, the Smiths: bands who broke up because they couldn’t crack America
… selling Barry White records to Middle Eastern airline pilots
Plus Tubeway Army, the Scaffold doing Ging Gang Goolie, “Mister Ferry’s diction” and birthday guest Jelltex.
