andrew weatherall has gone.

 

[Pablowolf]

I feel very out of touch, not knowing who the hell he is/was.

Probably he'd never heard of me either.

andrew weatherall has gone.

Bloody hell, that's a shame, a real talent. Responsible for some important music that helped shape up my generation.

To be fair I was the same (him not you) when they announced it until some other DJ who i'd never heard of proclaimed "the word genius is bandied about all too often these days but in his case it was true"
I did appreciate the irony of him bandying the word 'genius' about !

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

That was Irvine Welsh.

 

[Tom Hark]

That was Irvine Welsh.

Genius is an overworked term but I'm struggling to think of anything else that defines him.

To be fair, THAT was Irvine Welsh

 

[Paul]

That was Irvine Welsh.

The bloke that wrote Trainspotting ? apologies, they said his quickly never caught it.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Lol I was corrected whilst being pedantic, that will teach me

Yes Irvine welsh made a comment that tom put above, the bloke who wrote trainspotting, I only knew it was him as I'd just read it

 

[lemonjelly]

although screamadelica is likely his best known work, I'll always love the sabres of paradise, and two lone swordsmen. Some brilliant stuff.
He also did echo dek with the primals, and a manic remix for James of Jam J.

 

[Paul]

But was he a genius ?

 

[Pablowolf]

Shitting hell, that's a bad one.

Heather Couper is off to the stars she loved so much. Her love of astronomy on childrens telly back in the day was infectious.

40 years ago today we lost Bon Scott.........40 years ?

 

[Keef]

Back in black is 40,as is the blues brothers

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

40 years ago today we lost Bon Scott.........40 years ?

Blimey. That’s mad. Back in Black is a great album but apart from that all the good AC/DC output is from the Bon Scott years. Let there be Rock is probably still in my top five favourite albums of all time.
