Is it just me?



Think about it: "Ive Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" could be a song about a food source.

Red China Rocks

Uploaded by Rockalain on Lp Cover Lover.

" I’m glad to propose this funny LP cover of a 1970’s UK Rock & Roll Band “The Rock ‘n’ Roll Allstars”. Their attempt at a Red China tour was a disaster. The Chinese were not ready to hear this kind of music in the Seventies. The story goes that they played just one show before they were asked to leave the country. Maybe they were the first rock and roll band to play in China? "

The Cartoonist Talks

The Cartoonist has launched a podcast. It will be a series of podcasts called The Cartoonist Talks. I guess he thinks it's kind of boring just talking to himself so this series will probably also always present someone the Cartoonist discusses with as well. Kind of like an interview - but a little more lose and free spirit.

In this his first podcast he talks to Knox, singer of the "veteran" British punk band The Vibrators.

This is the first of 2 intallments of this "pub conversation".

Some samples of the music of the Vibrators can be heard as well.

I really liked this first podcast. If you like punk music, post-punk or just love music in general I think you really should subscribe to this podcast (via iTunes) . The rumour says the Cartoonist will meet up with other really cool characters in a near future. So, stay tuned.
