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".......

"Monday 24 sept 18, club linehan-ago-go practice for WMFO,with lady
CAROLINE AND we met her lovely older sister Patricia, whom, among
other things had been to Woodsstock. John Keegan
and Mike Quirk ran down a schedule from hell which
I will notify you of as the gigs happen; Reginald Kenneth Dwight
on retirement tour but not Kenneth Edward! Drummer Kevin
Linehan actually wanting to go to the NH Highlanad games;
maybe next year! But no gigs that weekend; it's a tradition like
Rib-a-geddon! Amongst Lou Reed/Velvets covers, "paint it black"
was done after I riffed on it and I remembvered Tennie Komar
did it opening for Cub Koda Rat '81 (Miss Lyn at
Spit (?) with U-2? Bono's majestic nose? and on a big foam matrtress
backstage!!-ed). lastly, riding with bassist Joe Quinn
discussing the Quincy Mass music scene at MAGGY'S!
(and all are sad with club closings...."the sticks" needs action!),
listening to Black Country Communion Two, an early 2000s Glenn Hughes
(Trapeze/Deep Purple) trio which my twin brother Chip Langille
says "Black Country Communion is fantastic. i love all their albums
and i've had the pleasure of seeing them live"; good Evert/"Highway
Star"/"i cant drive 55" music if yhou're drivin' down route 93 when
it's late at night..."just like a roadrunner""......

"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"........
