YourTube 1 - Daddy Stovepipe

YOUTUBE CLIPS WE LOVE!
Daddy Stovepipe plays.

This is the first in a bi-weekly post about our favourite Youtube pages and videos, the first Youtuber choosen is the stupidly tallented Blues mulit-instrumentalist DaddyStovepipe. I've been following him for some time (not in a sexual preditor sort of way) and really want to show you some of his stuff, I found him while searching for some ukulele blues lessons.

Lulu- Lou Reed and Metallica album Review


Lou Reed and Metallica played Live on Later... tonight, I'm so impassioned I'm going to post my album review early. 
 
Right! I'm trying to ignore all the bad press on this album. I'm going to just sit back and press play, see what comes into my mind. I love Lou Reed, I really do. I even love his live shows still, I like his dry vocals and even think the out of tune and rhythm singing adds to the music.  I can give or take Metallica and I have horrible memories of when I attempted to be a mosher when I was a kid. The one main problem was that I hated metal...


King Salami and The Cumberland 3 Single Review

GEORGE LOOKS AT THE LASTEST RELEASE!
Will King Salami be a hit?

Imagine a Louis Armstrong doing an impression of Screaming Jay Hawkins covering The Sonics Strychnine with the ventures as his backing band. Thats pretty much what King Salami and the Cumberland 3's new single ''Trubble Trubble'',Which is out on the Dirty Water record label,sounds likes. It's like one of those 'just add water' sea monkey kits, just add a record player and you've got a party.

Talking to Davy Jones and the anniversary of The Monkees giving the public 'Head'



The Monkees Reissue of Head
ANNIVERSARY OF THE MONKEES HEAD!
Looking back and Talking to Singer Davy Jones

43 years ago today the Monkees released their ‘cinematic suicide letter,’ the very unusual ‘’Head.’’ It was defiantly not suitable for the teen audience the Monkees has previously sought, with cameos from Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper and Frank Zappa (with cow in tow) and at one point Peter Tork punching a woman, only to find out it was a man in drag.

David Lynch Single Review


FILMMAKER RELEASES SINGLE!
KAREN O PROVIDES THE VOCALS

David Lynch can do everything! He's a great painter! A great photographer! A great screenwriter! He did such an amazing job directing a live show with Duran Duran that It actually persuaded me to love their new album! Now he's gone and done it again with his own record. "Crazy Clown Time" comes out on monday (7th) and it sounds pretty much how his films look; awesome!

Remembering Fred ''Sonic'' Smith

Patti Smith at Hop Farm Festival
LOOKING BACK AT THE MC5 GUITARIST!
What was Fred Smith really like?


The last time i really balled my eyes out, I mean really cried was at The Hop Farm Festival this year. A coming together of some of my childhood heros (Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Morrissey and Patti Smith), it was like the planets aligning to me. It was boiling hot, I was in the centre of the crowd when Patti walked out and I felt my knees go weak. Her cool calm american exterior was fascinating, I was drawn to her every word....but I wasn't blubbering yet.

Pin-Up Bowling Rock 50s Style All-Dayer Review

Loverly Black Cadillac at Pin-Up Bowling
Rock and Roll and Classic Car All-Dayer is a Hit! 
George also talks to band Rocket 88 Trio!

Hello one and all, as the fantastic Comedy show 'Slaughter House Live' was canceled on Sunday I decided to venture down to the Pin-Up bowling alley to play a game, see some cool cars and listen to some music. It didn't disappoint, We here at GDTKC were transported back in time into a sea of quiffs,smog of Lucky Strike and that Thick acoustic bass thumpin' sound.
