    [quote name='dK']RIP GSH<br />
    [/QUOTE]<br />
    <br />
    I met the man in the early-mid 1990s, interviewed him, photographed him, watched him perform live afterward, he was supernice. But me, being in Canada, and him, having just come "clean" across the border from the States, he wanted to know if I could score him some rocks. I couldn't. There was an excellent long essay about him in The New Yorker magazine earlier this year which detailed his battle against crack. It was terribly sad, but gave the impression he was bouncing back.<br />
    <br />
    Edit / update: Here's an obituary in The New Yorker by the same writer, with a link to the earlier feature:<br />

    A sweet circular logic here, the late-great master Alex Chilton covering Teenage Fanclub's "Alcoholiday." (Alex Chilton/Big Star being their heroes, and this is one of the great Alex Chilton songs that Alex Chilton never wrote.) Pretty much a faithful straight-ahead version of the original. Not sure of the source, sounds live, but excellent audio quality.<br />
    <br />
    Stranger is the Fannies own radically different rockin' version of the same song, recorded for the Peel Sessions.<br />
    <br />

    Fabulous. But sadly, the great first verse:<br />
    <br />
    [QUOTE][B]Listen ever get a feeling when you're taken by the hand<br />
    And led a course you can't command<br />
    Went to bed but I'm not ready<br />
    Baby I've been [COLOR="red"]fucked[/COLOR] already[/B][/QUOTE]<br />
    <br />
    The lyric has been changed to "used," probably for benefit of not offending the Beeb audience.<br />
    <br />
    A surprising improvement on the original, however, the Peel Sessions version Blake changes that 2nd verse to an all-new:<br />
    <br />
    [QUOTE][B]Listen ever get the feeling that you've had too much to drink<br />
    Stretch your heart strings to the brink<br />

    <br />
    Genius.<br />
    <br />
    The timeless original, from Bandwagonesque, for anybody so inclined...<br />

    The post above mentioning TEENAGE FANCLUB made me remember this tune, a fave from my flatting days of the mid-90's<br />
    <br />
    Teenage Fanclub and De La Soul<br />

    Have been watching Millennium recently. It has some really nice sequences, including one set to this gem by Patti Smith:<br />

    I've been listening to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, because the sax player, Clarence Clemons, died after a stroke the other day.

    Surely his high point was getting the mention from Bruce at the start of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town?

    Some mellow blue-eyed soul. I saw this girl busking years ago when she was a teenager. Beautiful sultry voice. I'm hearing My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth (minus the cyclone, feedback, and buried vocals, but oh, it's there.). There's an official video version, but sadly it's a single edit cut to artsy dance grant video; and there's a cool raw handheld video of the threesome performing the song live under a bridge to nobody in particular (a puzzled kid shows up); but being (ahem) a purist, I'll go with this (unofficial) version that a fanbot posted 'cos it's the original-length album version.<br />
