and seeing as my 10 cents aint worth jack shit,here it is anyway.....dont bother with the current touring' dr feelgood',as it dont have any original members and to my mind aint doin nothing for the legend that once was.wilcos current touring 3 piece is legendary,it swings and its right,always a good show and a good nite out.....dont even get me started on the current touring '9 below zero'.

I saw him for the 1st time, last year, with the amazing Norman Watt-Roy (from Ian Durie & The Blockheads) on bass. Luckily, they were playing in a little local club 5 miles down the road.

Not long after Oil Ciy Confidential premiered, i randomly found it on the tv just before i was about to go to bed, so i had to stay up & watch it til the end... (about 2AM.. on a school night!) That's Rock'n'Roll for ya!

I'm a bit of a Luddite, but I did a quick search online & found this, which should let you watch the film online for free...: http://viooz.eu/movies/13885-oil-city-confidential-2009.html

Very fortunate to see the Feelgoods with Wilko way back when - one of the great experiences of my teenage years - and what courage that announcement shows - the next time you see some washed-up hasbeens announcing their umpteenth farewell tour remember what those words will actually mean for the legend that will always be Wilko Johnson.

a legend in his own lifetime,some great times,that staccato attack will forever be with me.

very sad news.

I've never seen it....Not the kind of thingthat makes the rounds in the states , even at Foreign Film Festivals....But , I loved the trailer. Especially the part about Wilko flying a plane , even though he did'nt know how. Take THAT , Iron Maiden.  I met Gypie Mayo a couple of times , he spoke very highly about Wilko , as a Musician and as a person.

If you've not already seen it, 'Oil City Confidential'  is a great documentary-film about Dr Feelgood, by Julien Temple ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julien_Temple )

Well worth a watch, if you can find it.

Its a travesty. Wilco Johnson. Often copied, never bettered. Alot if not most British punk rock bands of the 70's til present day owe a great debt of gratitide to this great man. His attack and humility sets a great example. Very sad news.

Plate of shrimp...Wilko popped into my frame of consciousness a couple of times in the past couple of weeks.  The first was watching the same Top of the Pops rebroadcast posted here with some friends and later when reading an Ian Dury biography.

Wilko is being very inspirational for both his talent and fortitude.

Watch out for the first monthly garage night happening at This Ain't Hollywood on Friday January 25th. It's called Kissin' The Carpet and we're proud to be one of the many sponsors!

So that'll be 2.5 hours of Canadian garagepunk starting at 6PM on Jan 24th, going all the way to 8:30PM!!

I had to go to a cinema located in a mall that's pretty out of the way for me, and I went during its opening weekend because I was afraid it wouldn't be playing there the following weekend. Now that I did that, it will probably show up at the Oaks Theatre, which is really close to where I live.

John Battles said:

Seems like it already came and went , here. We have ONE second - run theatre that I know of . Maybe they'll show it.

The one in my living room every weekend when the missus is out and the kids are in bed!

Now send me some stuff please!!;)

Not sure where this came from, but I spotted it on their Facebook page this morning. Doesn't look like it's been shared here yet, so:

It's not exactly a band in a cartoon but I'm still struggling to believe I saw Henry Rollins as a Rainicorn in Adventure Time. That is a very weird cartoon.

Ok, it's not a cartoon, but here's a clip of Cliff Richard and the Shadows from a dream sequence in 'Thunderbirds Are Go', a Thunderbirds movie made in 1966. For the uninitiated, the fact that they're all puppets has nothing to do with it being a dream sequence, that's just how they did things back then.

http://plymouthfury.bandcamp.com/track/maelstrom-libido I love this, reminds me of The Vines

{The Fall- Bury Pts. 1 + 3 } Nice and noisy, pretty garage-y for The Fall.

found these guys. I love'em
