The Muscle Market (1981)
Reposted from January 2021

















Anyone remember Play For Today?
It was a long running series of films made for the BBC  in the 70s and 80s.
I collect them and have rarely seen a bad one.
The standard is very high and many great writers/directors etc.
launched their careers via this route.
Some films led on to full TV series follow-ons.
This is one I like a lot and it is sort of a prelude
to the celebrated Boys From The Blackstuff.
Suppose I ought to say...there is some violence in it.

Theme Time Radio Hour with Bob Dylan
Episode 33

This week Bob presents a top ten countdown
featuring tunes with a numbers theme.

In the tenth second of forever
I thought of the sea and a white yacht drifting
In the ninth second of forever
I thought of a leaf, a stone
The plastic fragment of a child's toy
In the eighth second of forever
I remembered a warm room where voices played
In the seventh second of forever
I thought of the life I would not lead
In the sixth second of forever
I saw your mouth whispering something I could not hear
In the fifth second of forever
I thought of the vermilion deserts of Mars
The jeweled forests of Venus
In the fourth second of forever
I could remember nothing that I did not love
In the third second of forever
I thought of rain against a window, I thought of the wind
In the second second of forever
I thought of the pair of broken shades lying on the tarmac
In the first and final second of forever
I thought of the long past that had led to now
And never
And never
And never
And never

Progglådan Box C: Folkprogg & Sjungande låtskrivare
(folk progg & singing songwriters)
CD 305
Lasse Tennander with Kaipa/Dan Berglund Band

Lasse Tennander is a Swedish musician, composer, lyricist and actor.
A former high school teacher, Tennander was active
in the Swedish progg (leftist) movement during the 1970s.































Here he is backed by an early incarnation of Lars Lundin's Kaipa
featuring a young Roine Stolt on lead guitar.
Interesting stuff especially when the band get to stretch out a bit
but, as usual, the Swedish lyrics/politics are lost on me.

Dan Berglund is a noted upright bass player.
In this early recording. however, Dan is playing guitar (I think)
and, presumably. singing.




































It's inoffensive but rather uninspired.

Titus

Funny to see the vintage Letterman segment.
It's an old VHS transfer and it has a timecode throughout
but the overall quality is quite decent.

It occurred to me how formal declarations of war are no longer in vogue.
The only examples I could find since the USA entered WWII are:
Somalia (1977): declared war on Ethiopia during the Ogaden War.
Iran (1980): declared war on Iraq, starting the Iran-Iraq War.
Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (Western Sahara)
declared war on Morocco in 2020.
I'm waiting for Trump's lawyers to argue
that no war crimes have been committed against Venezuela
as they are not technically at war.
I agree, let's just call it murder.

Mike Watt & the Crew of the Flying Saucer
The Palace
Hollywood, CA
December 18th 1995

Remastered soundboard.
The source was unusual.
Right channel was a totally dry mix and the left was all reverb.
The reverb channel was too loud and the L/R split was not pleasing.
I reduced the volume of the reverb before mixing it with the dry channel.
A dual mono was then created and, after further remastering, twas done.
Sounds shit LOL.

After recent comments by Georg from Giessen
I was surprised to see the town in the news.

A meeting set to launch the new youth wing
of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) was delayed on Saturday
as thousands of protestors blocked access to the event venue.
Anti-AfD protestors began descending on the town of Giessen
from early morning, with police also out in force.
One of the protest organisations, 'Resist',
said that it blocked several routes towards the AfD meeting
and had gathered 15,000 people.































































Well done to those who made a stand against the AfD.

The Anniversary (1968)

















The Anniversary was first performed, as a play, in the West End of London.
The film version was produced by the legendary Hammer company
who were best known for their classic gothic horror catalogue
which I collect along with the (often confused with Hammer) Amicus stuff.
This release was a foray into non-Horror territory
although it certainly has it's own brand of horror. :)
A black comedy which allowed, the fabulous, Bette Davis free reign
to camp it up big time with an outrageous performance.



















Jack Hedley has featured on the blog before due to his role in the Colditz series.
He puts in a great performance here as, eldest son, Terry.

April 23rd 1999

Remastered soundboard.
The recording was marred by static/crackles.
I managed to mitigate a lot of the problems but it's still noticeable
especially during 'Haircut and Attitude' which was impossible to fix/patch.
Don't let my fussiness put you off...this rocks!
The band are fearsomely tight.
Ross is the Boss.

Crack the Sky
Timonium Fairgrounds
Timonium, MD
March 29th 1986

Remastered soundboard.
Solid medium plus sound quality which improves a bit after the first few songs.
They have occasional issues with feedback
but, I'm sure fans will agree, it's a brilliant gig.
Some tasty guitar chops from Rick Witkowski.
In fact the whole band put in a great shift.

Alice Cooper
Chicago Underground
Warren, MI
July 23rd 1970

I'm unsure of the source(s) but this is my remaster.
If you're looking for high fidelity then scroll on.
It's a  pretty rough recording of the Cooper band
mid way between 'Easy Action' and 'Love it to Death'.
Fields of Regret' has sections of what would later become 'Killer'.
Fascinating if, like me, you have a soft spot for the pre-commercially successful era.
I suspect they were influenced by Pink Floyd and the Doors at this point
and they could have morphed into almost anything.
Bob Ezrin would soon knock them into shape.

We only ever see Trump's head (orange) and hands (various hues).
I'm beginning to suspect his whole body is a rainbow.
The cause is unknown to science.
Even a recent MRI scan failed to yield answers.
Although they did discover the pigments are created in large "inkwells"
which are located in his ankles.
