pikey music innit
 

 

Billy Strings - Dust in a Baggie. Takes a sec to get to the music, but it's worth it for the sheer surprise at how good this young guy is

Funny story about the above video. You may enjoy it more knowing the story behind it.

From a Billy Strings interview.

But no that’s a famous video now because of that guy in the background, Barefoot Ben. We were all on mushrooms that night, we were sitting in my friend Gina’s basement and were all picking songs.

And there’s a big party upstairs, everybody was drunk but we were all tripping so we wanted to go downstairs and be quiet and get away from all the drunks. So we were sitting down there in that basement pickin’ tunes. 

And yeah, Barefoot Ben there, he was like the only hippie in like Ionia, you know what I mean? I mean I guess there was a couple like skater kids but he was like barefoot at every party wearing tie-dye. People called him Barefoot Ben or Hippie… He was like the only hippie around. 

But he was at every party, he was at every party, and it was like “How did you get here? Like who do you know here?” Just every party he was there and this video, we’re tripping and I’m just playing these songs, and he’s smoking an unlit cigarette and he keeps hitting it like it’s lit and I don’t think he knows it. 

If you look at the comments on that, it’s hilarious. They’re talking about Ben like “This dude looks like he’s standing there giving out side quests.”

Great group. I was at all their '87/88 Dingwalls' gigs, and then a few of the other London gigs later in the 90's, Brixton Academy and Wembley Arena.. They weren't always the most together of groups live, but the buzz was always epic...........

 

 

 

 

 

13th Floor Elevators - You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone.(1966) 

Okay - Christmas music time.

I was there at the Alexander palais in 1989. (it was my birthday). They were great, a really great band, but they were so awful live.

Ian Brown just couldnt sing live. I saw Ian Brown solo in concert in New York and he had to stop every other song to recover. lol

Christmas Classic . . . It's an excellent choon, and I believe it was sampled by Run DMC for their Xmas number.
 

 

Madness with their classic song ‘One Step Beyond’.         Live at Madstock 1998.
