after a Miss Lyn beard trim, she had taped JIMI: all is by my side movie. release : 7 sept 13; first Rat beach party in Hull was a week later. So my final and succint review: Andree 3000 as Jimi is like Val Kilmer as Jimbo (Morrison), i.e. semi-believable fiction on much told tales. Still I DID dig it coz the era when Jimi was "Hopelessly Obscure" in Greenwhich Village and til he goes to London isnt overdocumented. Was he really shagging Keef's bird and she got him to drop the process in his hair or was that "due proccess of law"? Jimi certainly was "tooling for roof", that legend may have fact. Watching him tune up with his marshall cranked: yep! tuners NOT invented yet! The hendrix estate wouldnt let them use any "real" Jimi music BUT Waddy Wachtel (guitar); Leland Sklar (bass) and Kenny Aronoff (Indiana University drummer '76, meaning he WAS in Bloomington for the week of Patti Smith/MX-80. Gizmos first e.p. and most important: Big Red basketball!); do a credible Experience. Jimi in London jamming with Cream and Clapton walks offstage so Jimi jams with JACK BRUCE and GINGER BAKER; Jay Grubeger's dream! London is '66 is an austin powers dream with fashions from a certain Hanger! So glad I saw it, recomend it etc".......

"Til Tieu's Day, 25 sept 18, crashing quite heavily, but let me tell you what my addictive personality has been on a bender about now: TEACHERS, four seasons BBC early 2000s: "following the chaotic lives of a group of per-pet-shelly juvenile teachers, whose specialties include beer-drinking, kebab eating and ineptness with members of the opposite sex.(21 march 2001-22 dec 2004). They teach "secondary school" in Bristol, though that slang NOT said, but what is funnier'n hell is they all go STRAIGHT to the pub after work, "'ave a pint" til closing, smoke "fags", swear and try to "shag" each other (some of the "hookups" are pretty preposterous plus they so blase ; "well, he didnt really have THAT big a willie"...."so you're saying my knob's big-guh?" having recorded first Gizmos ep 20 march 76 and "puerile" and other adjectives thrown at me with middle finger extended, "ye'd 'ave t' be a tight arse" NOT to laugh! I shan't spoil it coz episodes are on youtube (some actors were in doctor who so this is TWO different universes) and theme song "boy with arab strap" by EDINBURGH band belle and sebastion has catchy Small faces "lazy sunday" type keyboards. and lastly, Gee Julie heard all the between scenes Brit-pop (albums listed on wikipedia!) amd "you would never hear such good music on american tv"...imagine Friends, but they're all teachers who get pissed, swear and shag each other"........
