2005-08-15 - 9:58 a.m. Have been enjoying volume one of the Old Grey Whistle Test DVD, which features some great performances from 70s-era rock icons like: Roxy Music (Bryan Ferry totally makes whoopie to the camera, singing "Do the Strand" while Andy Mackay's extremely tight trousers compete for attention) Edgar Winter Group delivering a scorching version of "Frankenstein" that briefly made me like the song. (Albinocore forever!) A really moving and down-to-earth "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers. This video also solves a mystery for me--never knew that "Mark Ellen" from Robyn Hitchock's song "Clean Steve" was an actual person. Leastways, I assume he's talking about Mark Ellen the host of OGWS. thoughts? (4 comments so far) previous - next blog archive contact
