@ PK Never heard of that band but they sound good, real sixties. I see they originally did "Walk Away Renée" which was covered later by The Four Tops in 67. Sadly I also see that all the members of the band have now died.
Dylan has described his reaction to hearing Hendrix's version: "It overwhelmed me, really. He had such talent, he could find things inside a song and vigorously develop them. He found things that other people wouldn't think of finding in there. He probably improved upon it by the spaces he was using. I took license with the song from his version, actually, and continue to do it to this day."
In the booklet accompanying his Biograph album, Dylan said: "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way... Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
There's an element of truth in Ali's post tom . I heard one of the research team saying something similar in an interview on R4 yesterday. He mentioned that research into the previous covid viruses had helped produce the vaccine.
I saw Joy Division play it live not long after that recording. 11th May 1969, It was quite a night, not only seeing Joy Division, I had a ticket in my pocket for the FA cup final the next day...pity about the result though....
I saw New Order live not long after they formed. They were playing a small venue, a Halls of Residence for students from Manchester University across from where I was living at the time. I must admit, having seen Joy Division not long before, I was a bit disappointed. But that was early days for New Order and I guess they hadn't really come to terms with the death of Ian Curtis.
Blue Monday literally stopped me in my tracks when I first heard it all those years ago. I had to stop what I was doing, turn the radio up sit and listen. It still sounds as fresh now as it did when it first came out.
Diego Maradona has died from a heart attack just days after turning 60.
The Argentinian football legend died at home, his lawyer said, just three weeks after having surgery on a blot clot in his brain.
Maradona won the World Cup with Argentina in 1986, having knocked England out of the tournament in a match which saw him score the infamous 'Hand of God' goal and another - widely considered to be one of the greatest goals of all time.
Regarded as one of the greatest players of all time on the pitch, his life off the pitch was equally notorious - amid battles with drug and alcohol addiction.
New Order....Blue Monday. This song is 37 years old. Where did all those years go...
Interesting cover, not just the choir but also the location, a place I've visited many times. Portmeirion is a tourist village in Gwynedd, North Wales. It was designed and built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1975 in the style of an Italian village, and is now owned by a charitable trust.
And extract from page one...the letter 'e' is not used throughout the whole book. It's quite a readable book surprisingly.
FROM PAGE ONE
"If youth, throughout all history, had a champion to stand up for it; to show a doubting world that a child can think; and, possibly, do it practically; you wouldn't constantly run across folks today who claim that "a child don't know anything." A child's brain starts functioning at birth; and has, amongst its many infant convolutions, thousands of dormant atoms, into which God has put a mystic possibility for noticing an adults act, and figuring out its purport."
It's called a lipogram, a piece of writing excluding a certain letter. In 1939 Earnest Wright published a 500-page novel, Gadsby which he somehow managed to write without using the letter E.
I posted a thread about it on here some time ago to see who could write a few sentences without the letter E.
It's a difficult task just to string a small number of words in a way that could add up to that much without such an important symbol, writing a full book in such a way is truly a daunting task.
An amazing cover by Perpetuum Jazzile. If you listen to the beginning without looking at the screen, you'd swear you were listening to heavy rain and loud thunderclaps. A very different cover indeed.
