Roy Buchanan 

American Axe Tracks

Volume One - In The Beginning

1957-64

Reposted from September 2024

A remastered overview of Roy Buchanan's early recorded output.

He started his professional career aged 15 in Johnny Otis's rhythm and blues revue.

From home recordings to his first pro slot on 'My Babe'

and onto other tracks which featured his guitar playing.

Sound quality varies, as you can imagine,

but overall it's well worth a listen if you are interested in Roy.

There is more info on the inner CD cover.

On January 21st Trump said:

“We’ve never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them.

You know, they’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this or that.

And they did – they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines.”

and on March 7th:

"We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!”

Comforting to know we are surplus to requirements

and the USA has everything under control.

It's St. Patrick's Day so it is.

My parents were both of Irish descent.

The McLuxor's go back a long way.

We were not always welcome on the British mainland:

I was in Dublin, many years ago, studying a map in the street.

An old guy stopped and asked what I was looking for.

He duly pointed out where my desired destination was located

then he asked where I was from.

"England" I replied, to which he said:

"Oh beJesus, I'd better be on my way before you take me over or something"

This Island Earth (1955)

A classic 50s Sci-Fi that remains a firm favourite.

Is this dude related to Bill Clinton?

As a kid I was terrified by the mutant seen here off duty:

The film was released in 1955 as a double feature

with Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy.

Optional subtitles included:

English, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and Tibetan.

American Axe Tracks Volume Ten (Disc 2) - Rarities II

More from the Roy vaults.

These rarities CDs are for devoted fans only although there's always some gems.

'Don't call Me Nigger' sounds like a very Zappa-esque title

and the song lives up to that expectation.

I fixed a major drop-out on that track and likewise for Barefootin'

Titus Luxor

Misfit (circa 1985)

Reposted from December 2023 (new rip)

Another song salvaged from an old cassette.

I can tell I was obsessed with Zappa when I wrote this.

Not a bad attempt at emulating Frank's 70s SG/wah-wah sound.

If I tried to sing this now I'd burst a blood vessel.

Titus

Linda's having trouble with her social life

Everybody's telling her so

Living day to day on the edge of a knife

And she doesn't want her Daddy to know

She had a lot of fun and a real good run but it's over

If ever there was a misfit she's the one

Linda couldn't handle what the future may bring

Everything was out of control

Searching through the numbers for somebody to ring

To say "Lucifer has taken my soul"

She did her final deed and her wrists did bleed so it's over

If ever there was a misfit she's the one

Someone throw a lifeline

Answer all these questions of mine

Tell me what it's all about

Help me find the real way out

Cut me from the gallows

Save me from these bows and arrows

Catch me when I'm falling

Can anybody hear me calling?

Can you offer hope for me?

Can you make the blind to see?

Give me your tuition

Guide me through this superstition

Give me your conclusion

Save me from confusion

Open up my mind's eye

Help me watch the world go by

Tommy's having trouble with the boys in blue

Now he'll go to prison for sure

The Doctor says "There's nothing anybody can do"

Nobody can offer a cure

He's on the way to jail but he's out on bail in the meantime

If ever there was a misfit he's the one

When Tommy was at school he was so cheerful and bright

Always he was greedy for more

Stealing grew in time to be his greatest delight

A habit he could never ignore

And now he's past his prime and a life of crime was his downfall

If ever there was a misfit he's the one

Hawkwind

Cosmic Driftwood

(1972-1974)

Reposted from December 2021

This is an mp3 compilation.

It's a mix taken from single edits/b-sides and the Greasy Truckers Party cuts.

All the tracks overlap slightly to create a continuous flow.

Most Hawkheads will have heard this stuff before

but I like having them all together in one place.

Theodore Sturgeon

More than Human (1953)

Sturgeon was a talented American author and poet.

He also wrote some of the best scripts for the original Star Trek series

including the fabulous  'Shore Leave' episode:

More Than Human is a masterpiece which envisions the next stage

of human evolution as it attains a gestalt collective consciousness.

Theodore (Ted) was interviewed for a radio poetry show in 1954.

I've uploaded that short audio for those who may be interested.

He's very well spoken...for a Yank! :)

1954 interview

In Search of Barney Bubbles

BBC Radio 4

Reosted from October 2023

This is a short overview of the life and times

of celebrated graphic artist Colin Fulcher aka Barney Bubbles.

Well known to Hawkwind fans for his work with the band in the 70s.

He also created artwork for The Damned, Elvis Costello, Ian Dury.

Sutherland Brothers, Kevin Coyne, Edgar Broughton Band etc.

Barney suffered from manic depression and committed suicide in 1983.

When I was a boy you couldn't beat playing Space Ritual, loud!

whilst marvelling at the multi-faceted sleeve design.

I have included some scans for those who may share my nostalgia.

REO Speedwagon

Markthalle

Hamburg, Germany

November 10th 1979

DVD with remastered audio.

This is a VHS rip.

Not the best quality.

I confess I'm not a huge fan but the Frau Luxor likes them.

When I was young they were popular with the girls

who would dance to their tunes at my local rock emporium

so I do have a soft spot for REO Speedwagon in a nostalgic way.

Some nice guitar from, Les Paul totin' chipmunk, Gary Richrath.

Thank goodness this is pre Hi Infidelity.

I can't handle 'Keep on Lovin' You'/'Take it on the Run' type softiness.

A tag-wrestling style performance from the two bands.

I don't know much about the 4 Fiddlers.

The 'rock' is provided by Träd, Gräs och Stenar:

I actually prefer the fiddling sections :)

Hard for me to whip up much enthusiasm for this CD.

Maybe you'll be more sympathetic?

K.B.F.H.

Reposted from May 2024

Another KBFH show remastered just for you.

Wonderful performance from the Trower band.

Angel are pretty good too as long as you don't look at them.

Zappa fans will be familiar with the song 'Punky's Whips'.

They were signed to Casablanca who also had KISS on their roster.

The execs at Casablanca obviously believed the future of rock was in cosmetics.

Here's a nice poster from 1976:

As sure as eggs is eggs. (Aching Men's Feet)

AI says:

As of February 2026, egg prices in the USA

have dropped significantly to an average of around $2.58 per dozen.

This represents a substantial decrease from record-high prices

of over $6 per dozen seen in March 2025.

It's an eggsistential crisis!

I'm only yolking.

p.s, Years ago, when serving my young children breakfast,

I'd ask if they would like a bird's egg.

It got them thinking :)

I drew the line at announcing burgers as 'dead cow'.

The Admirable Crichton (1957)

Adapted from a play written by J.M. Barrie.

(creator of Peter Pan)

On one level it's a study/parody of class divisions.

It's also  just a good old-fashioned misogynistic romp.

No one tops Kenneth More for Britishness :)
