Mariano - Have you ever seen their one outing in the horror genre, 'Dead of Night'? Parts of that are still genuinely unsettling. A bloody masterpiece. Otherwise, I think 'Kind Hearts and Coronets' is probably my favie.

Jimmy Jimmy and My Perfect Cousin are the best.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:31pm mariano:

Heya spodi, thanks! Good to be back. David: "Kind Hearts" was the first one of the ECs I saw, and was the beginning of my Alec Guinness infatuation. I really love "The Man in the White Suit" too, lovely modern parable. "A Run for Your Money" has one of my favorite lines, said by one of the Welsh protagonists when he couldn't order a pint because he'd just missed last call: "You and your Saxon laws! If a pint's right at one time why's it wrong at another?" I have not however seen "Dead of Night" and I'll have to add it to the top of my list, appreciate the tip.

Honeyslides are something I read about in a Neil Young bio. Described as " a goop of sauteed marijuana and honey." You'd have to look online for the exact recipe. I tired it once and was out of it for two days.

Another good one for fall: the Little Italy (basically a Manhattan with Cynar in it; hence, the name): 2 oz rye, .75 oz sweet verm, .5 oz cynar, stir w/ ice, serve up, cherry garnish.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:19pm nickybones:

man, i really need to re-read Shakey...
  2:22pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

I don't have SHAKEY handy but found this online. I seem to remember that they tried out BOTT material, too. Anyway: "Dylan, who lived around the corner from Briggs, shuffled in and joined the Zuma sessions, first on piano, then on guitar. "He didn't talk, just nodded" said Sampedro. "He was dressed in Sears clothes. I don't know it was Dylan". "and I don't know he was so short" mused Ralph. The action packed line-up fizzled when the Horse inevitably fell apart. We did a bunch of his songs, never got one right all the way through" said Poncho. "Neil told me later Dylan said 'your band has a good beat, but they can't play' and Neil replied 'heah, but think about it, Bob, you could play with them ....' ". (from 'Shakey', p : 488)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:22pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Heard 2 Neil tracks in a row and had to check to make sure he was still with us!
Avatar 2:22pm Joe B:

my main problem with shakey was the author's lack of insight into the actual music. he did a good job reporting but his actual music writing i thought wasn't very good. that's what put the replacements book over the top - bob mehr could report and write well, but also leaps and bounds above mcdonagh in terms of music criticism and connecting it to the story
Avatar 2:23pm Joe B:

@Woods - they have a great live set with rob weisberg in the archives!

@Joe B: Cool, thanks! Will have to check that out.
  2:25pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Yes, good on stories and frank talk (and also recipes), but weak in other spots--and some things McDonough hates passionately seemed inexplicable. Mehr's Replacements book is the gold standard of rock bios.
  2:26pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

@Handy--hey hey, how're you maintaining? Sending along the usu good wishes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:26pm nickybones:

Joe B: TOTALLY agree. It was good for incredible historical facts and stuff, but when he'd weigh in with his opinion, i found it grating.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 2:26pm tim from champaign (now washington):

That is a weird phenomenon that shows up in music bios when you can tell that the author doesn't quite have a connection to the music. I can't think of another example right now but I've run across that before.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:28pm medson:

Hola Joe B and everyone.
Avatar 2:29pm Joe B:

well it's not easy. having tried and failed miserably at music writing, easier said than done. i don't doubt mcdonagh's passion for the music but analyzing it and really connecting it to the story is not easy. he did incredible reporting so the book was worth it but very few can do both - the reporting, and the music criticism
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:30pm Handy Haversack:

We're hanging in, DK, thanks, pal! We're planning an amphibious assault on Manhttan tomorrow -- we'll pass by Mona's so we can think of better times. Hope you're doing OK. If you hear from Bill or Ziggy (or Roma!), please give them our best!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:30pm chris_in_space:

I'll have to read Mehr's book, but I loved Shakey for precisely what many are citing as a flaw. I find endless opinions about lyrics and such to be boring, ie. most of the 33 1/3 series of books. Just give me the stories behind the music; I'll interpret the songs in my own way.

  2:32pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

With all that, I love SHAKEY for what it is--there's so many good inside stories. Unique in the weird NY book shelf. @Handy: good to hear, I'll pass on the regards, talk to Z fairly regularly, at least.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:32pm Handy Haversack:

Mariano -- Kate had the same reaction!
Avatar 2:32pm Joe B:

mcdonagh does try to analyze the music, and is bad at it
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:33pm chris_in_space:

@Joe B fair enough. Like I said, I haven't read Mehr's book. I suppose I just interpreted something that wasn't intended. The problem with language, I guess.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:33pm nickybones:

@DK it's maybe the best rock bio book I've ever read. Like, a reference source to go back to while listening to the records. I found the same with Behind the Shades, the Dylan bio.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:33pm mariano:

This Bully just gave me a musical wedgie. In a good way.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:35pm JG:

Yeah i enjoyed the look behind the curtain that Shakey offered. Such weird crazy unique and talented guy Neil
Avatar 2:35pm Joe B:

i mean, thousands of people like mcdonagh. that's how he got access. and i'm sure he did a much better job than i could ever do. he just would have been betetr off keeping his opinions out of it if he could not weave them into the narrative in a good way
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 2:37pm tim from champaign (now washington):

I've found that I really prefer oral histories when it comes to music history. I like the multiple perspectives as well as capturing a lot of things that get left out of rock bios. Please Kill Me is my favorite example.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:37pm Alvy Singer:

Avatar 2:37pm Joe B:

the replacements book - you get a accurate breakdown of the song without it being overbearing
  2:38pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

@nickybones: those are the best ones, that send you back to the music. Behind the Shades is pretty fun, but Heylin's general tone in his writings really grates on me--only HE knows the real deal and there's no other way to hear things. An imperious tone--my opinion, but Behind the Shades has so much goofy stuff like Dylan using Sambucca as hair gel, etc. that makes it fascinating.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:38pm mariano:

Fun Time Objects is a TomDash-related band.
  2:39pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:39pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine):

More generally, I do dislike music writing that focuses on lyrics. I've read many reviews where I get to the end and think, "Yes, but was does the record _sound_ like?" That's one of the main reasons I started music writing years ago (I don't do it anymore)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:39pm nickybones:

@DK yep, it's almost the same problem as Shakey. The author's opinions/insights are just unnecessary. He really seeks to take Bob down in some parts of that book.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:40pm nickybones:
