Rich in Washington's avatar View Rich in Washington's profile Favoriting

A three-hour exploration of excavations from the farthest reaches of humanity's hellish collective brain, through records, tapes, CDs, mostly scoured from country bumpkin thrift stores, creepy charity shops, backwoods junk stores, and even the internet - all mixed live. We don't judge, we just play 'em. Hosted by Rich in Washington.

The Stranglers  Waltzinblack   Favoriting The Gospel According To The Meninblack  Liberty  1981  RIP Brian John Duffy, aka Jet Black (1938 - 2022)
From The Strangler's website:
Jet Black, drummer of The Stranglers has passed away peacefully aged 84.

Jet Black, born Brian John Duffy, passed away peacefully at home on Tue 6th Dec. A founding member of iconic British new-wave rock band The Stranglers, Jet helped the band achieve a prolific 23 top 40 singles and 19 top 40 albums in the official UK charts.

As the ‘elder statesmen’ of the group, Jet was already a successful businessman in the Guildford area when The Stranglers formed in 1974. Jet owned a fleet of ice cream vans, one of which, as many fans will fondly remember, was used to tour the UK in the early years. Jet also owned an off licence, the upstairs apartment of which doubled as ‘Stranglers HQ’ in the early days.

Jet retired from performing live with The Stranglers in 2015 having suffered with respiratory health issues since childhood. Despite difficulties in performing towards the end of his career, Jet’s charismatic charm resonated with fans who would endlessly chant his name as he took his place at the drums.

As a drummer in jazz bands during the 60s, Jet’s playing style helped shape The Stranglers’ unique sound.
On reaction to the news, bassist and co-frontman JJ Burnel said “The welcoming committee has doubled. After years of ill health Jet has finally been released. He was a force of nature. An inspiration. The Stranglers would not have been if it wasn’t for him. The most erudite of men. A rebel with many causes.
Say hi to Dave for me.”

Hi diggerz . . . today was a real slog, listening to lots of "alternative' tracks on a college station to take the pulse of young America. Much of it was so lame that if you put it on your turntable, the tone arm would go limp.

i had a button around when this album came out, though i don't recall that it came with the album...
"if it ain't stiff it ain't worth a fuck".
i somehow never got in trouble for wearing it in school, and someone quoted it when she signed my yearbook.

I have a burning desire to learn bass. Can't decide whether to screw together a "partscaster" or run the racks at a music store -- latter potentially humiiating as I don't know how to play bass and don't know anyone who does. Working in a music store must be a special kind of hell.

I did my first show at WLUW a month before my 53rd birthday, but since I wasn't playing their rotation I'm not sure it counts. They have some even older community members who do a public affairs-type show on the weekends.
