FIRE HOSE

Over a Decade of Recording Black Cab Live

Photographs of me recording and Andrew and James playing at Cherry back in 2013 by Gennady Revzin
From the Doesn't Time Fly Dept
I first started recording Black Cab gigs when they did three or four Sunday arvo shows at the old Cherry Bar here in Melbourne back in 2011
The first thing to note is that these gigs were free entry and from memory were not very well attended at all, so much so that I seem to recall that the last Sunday gig was cancelled But this was the start of the band becoming a radically different beast than previously or as BC's Andrew said the other day to me: 
Those Cherry shows were tough but we hacked a new sound there. The Shabeen gigs were also super formative. We miss that place...
I'd been catching Black Cab as much as I could since first coming across their debut album Altamont Diary. Really not sure if it was just the concept of the album that caught my attention, their cover of the GOGD's New Speedway Boogie or Channel 10 using this as their station promo for a while. I haven't watched TV for over a decade now but what on earth made someone think that a suitable jingle for the upcoming summer TV fare of one of Australia's three commercial networks should be a track from an album about Altamont, which let's face it was one of the final nails in the coffin containing the carcass of the sixties dream. Personally I think the sixties dream ended on the 6th October 1966

Karen Dalton - Casino de Montreux Golden Rose Pop Festival (1/05/71)

The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St. Blues (Flexi-Disc NME 1972)


 
7“ Flexi-Disc. given away with the New Musical Express in the29th April 1972 edition.  Jagger introduces  excerpts from the forthcoming albumExile on Main St which was released a couple of weeks later The following tracks are played "All Down The Line", "Tumbling Dice". "Shine A Light" and "Happy". The song Jagger is singing alludes to the Exile tracks excepted. I think that may be Nicky Hopkins accompanying Jagger as opposed to Ian Stewart but I could be very well wrong there 
Really thought that this would have turned up on the deluxe(?) version of Exile when it was released back in 2010

St. Vincent - Pay Your Way In Pain

Sounds Of A City: Liverpool (BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 29th March 2019)

Ahead of the 6 Music Festival, another chance to hear DJ Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy turn her attention across the Peaks to one of the UK's most important musical cities; Liverpool. Focusing on the Teardrop Explodes Kilimanjaro album, we talk to Julian Cope about how he made the album, why he moved to Liverpool, and why he always travelled to the studio on an invisible horse. Colleen also looks at how Liverpool and Psych are inextricably linked, the importance of Soul Music to the area, how the nightclub Eric's and record shop Probe inspired a scene, and Liverpool's isolation from the rest of the country has helped create an outlook like no other. 
Colleen speaks with Shack's Michael Head who grew up surrounded by the influence of the Teardrop Explodes: Holly Johnson, of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, discusses the role of Liverpool's flamboyant gay scene played in the burgeoning post-punk scene: DJ Greg Wilson casts his critical ear over an 80s Liverpool still living under the eclipse of The Beatles: author Mark Cooper shares his thoughts on the rivalry between Echo & the Bunnymen and the Teardrops. Colleen also meets Stealing Sheep's Emily Lansley, who is at the vanguard of a younger generation of musicians who embrace Liverpool's psychedelic sound. And if all of that wasn't enough, Zoo Records and KLF founder Bill Drummond shares two of his one minute presentations about the album.
