Hey Cheers Jason..I found the 12" of Mobb Deeps 'Shook Ones Part 2' for less than a pound yesterday! I want to tell someone & you the only person who'd appreciate it! 😃
Hello mate. That Talking Heads was U.K. only I think.The sound on that thing is inapsane ‘Don’t Worry About The Government’ sounds like the band are in the room with you.That’s the joy of the 12”...the down side is that you’ve got to get up every 5 minutes to flip it over!
Hi Harris, pleased to hear you dig 'Burundi Black'. Rusty Egan had a hand in that new arrangement. The CodCast idea sounds a surefire winner. Maybe you can get Ann Drex and Di Gestive on a future episode - could ask about their time in The Human League and which one was responsible for Phil Oakey losing all his hair!
Hi Richard, thanks again. Great meeting you. Really enjoy that track & it sounds fantastic, yes I do wander if my over exuberant use of Cossack hairspray in 1983 is the reason for my own woes...& the environments! I’m sure we’ll bump into each other again!
👋 Hi That Talking Heads record looks good , and them live in concert too. I haven't ever seen that album. The cover is cool. Heaven 17 are a favorite group of mine from the 1980s. I like that song Temptation. I also like the song Let me Go that they did.
Hi Carl, yes that Talking Heads is good, very rhythm based more than conventionally song based. I’m guessing you know the big hit of it ‘Once In A Lifetime’? I think everyone knows that. 😊
@@Harrispilton22 Yes i liked Talking Heads around that time. I like their cover of Al Greens song Take me to the River back in 1978. Physco Killer is good too.
Totally devastated about Tom Verlaine's passing. Marquee Moon is a top 5 album of all time for me. Super amazing that you found that Only Ones record. Very rare over here. I love them! Great finds! Cheers!
Hi Hannah! Funnily enough Marquee Moon is a lot easier to find in the U.K. than The Only Ones, as MM. was a fairly big seller over here ,I think it went top 30 & Adventure went top 10. There was a legendary review by Nick Kent in the NME where he gave it a 10..& the readership went out & bought it off the back off that. I rarely see The Only Ones over here, I think it flopped on release. Thanks for watching & commenting!
Hi Harris, I was at the record fair yesterday as well, what a top guy Richard is! He also recognised me the last time I was there and also gave me a record he knew I wanted based on my channel. I will be giving him a massive shoutout on my next video. Great content as always.
Hi Martin, had a quick look for you chaps then had to dart off to the football. I think you had already left. I agree, lovely for Richard to tailor a record to our tastes, really special of him. Hopefully you’ll be doing a video of your finds Cheers mate.
Oh my god !! OUT ON BLUE 6 . And I thought I was the only one listening to it . Brilliantly video again mate . Love your choices in music , very similar to mine .
Out On Blue 6 was seriously brilliant & hilarious! I remember he played ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ about a month before release. I taped it was handing it to everyone. In retrospect I may have been responsible for the grunge explosion!🤣
Simply put, we cannot compete with the Codcast™️. Truly a stone I didn’t even consider turning. Brilliant! Chef Boyardee and Betty Crocker might be guests to consider for the next chats. 😂 Well played HP! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey Chance thanks for taking it in the spirit it was delivered! Been a bit serious in the VC this week,so I'm glad you realise I was being tongue in cheek. I've listened & watched your first episode!,hopefully Mr Carlson soon!
It’s all in good fun, which I’m a big fan of. I appreciate it mucho (and the kind words)! I genuinely laughed a few times 😂😂. And yes, we need more levity lately in the VC. Steve is definitely on my list. Stay tuned!
Hi Harris, I loved out on blue six. Seem to remember always driving when it was on. Such sad news about Tom Verlaine. Marquee Moon is such a classic. And Adventure is a top album too. Into The Groovy is one of my favourite covers. Cheers!
Hello Mate, yes I like Adventure, but to me it lacks the tension of MM that made it fantastic. I do love ‘Days’ which has some mind bending jangles. Out On Blue Six was essential listening as was The Graveyard Shift with Lard!
Hi Harris some great finds there I got into Television and Wire after start collecting vinyl what incredible bands. I went to Oxfam last week and got three doors albums and John Coltrane blue train for 26 quid the John Coltrane was in mint condition
Wow, great deal. Yes some of the Oxfam are pretty decent. I could do a top 50 Oxfam buys which would be a fairly impressive list of records tbh. ‘Blue Train’ is a great album.
@@Harrispilton22 the doors albums were cheap because they said fair on them I got the soft parade, La woman, 13 and greatest hits they all play fine just few scratches.
Hey hey! I was there on Saturday as well, it seemed like a VC convention. The busiest I've ever seen it. I too met the great Richard - top man, with great stuff for sale. Re sampling and Joni: I'm sure I read somewhere that the first ever example of sampling was He's Gonna Step On you Again by John Kongos. Not sure how true this is, but cannot think of anything earlier myself. Take care.
Hi George, yes Richard told me you were about, had a quick look but couldn’t see you, then had to dash to the football. Look forward to seeing what you got! Lovely gesture from Richard, particulaly as he picked something I knew I’d love!
I'm gonna spin Marquee Moon later on , I was a late Comer to TV's music.. better late than never, for sure ! Hopefully, at Bill's, I will find more solo LP's by him.. And Richard Hell records would be a find !!! ✌️
Hey JT! For some reason I never see TV’s solo albums in the U.K.Strange because Television were pretty big over here.I think MM was top thirty & Adventure top ten. I listened to his debut is streaming last night, it’s pretty good, I reckon you should pick it up.Good old Bill! What a legend that bloke is! I wish we could all meet up at Bills JT just chatting about music!
Hi Harris, Life During Wartime is one of my TH favourites, didn't know there was a 12". Marquee Moon a classic and sad loss. I have a quotation mark copy I bought from Clive (of course) a few years ago. I'm after one of Richard's Sabbath originals if they survive until the Andover fair. cheers Dale
Hi Dale, that 12” was a Clive buy. Very busy yesterday, he was doing a brisk trade. Yes Richard mentioned he spoke to you at another fair. Really nice guy. I’m not a Sabbath fan..but I’m guessing originals are pretty expensive. Thanks Dale.
I look forward to hard hitting questions in this Codcast. Is Ben no longer my uncle?! Checking out The Only Ones now. Love it! Always look forward to seeing what you are listening to!
Hey Bea! Great to hear from you!. Yes it’s a great album, ‘Another Girl Another Planet’ is such an iconic song in the U.K,I just assumed it was a huge hit. Hope all is well with you & Dave!
I didn't know about Tom Verlaine until I saw your video. That's sad. Marquee Moon is brilliant, and I think Adventure gets overlooked. It's a great album too. Can't wait for the codcast! Maybe Captain High Liner can join in. Speaking of changing the photo on food packaging, Captain High Liner lost his turtleneck sweater and cap a few years ago and now he looks like a news presenter rather than a fisherman. Talking Heads Stop Making Sense is one my favourite concert films ever. One of the guys in my local record store used to say "If you watch this concert all the way through you won't need anti-depressants."
Hi Arturo, yes great concert movie, never bettered imo. Although REM did a good one around the time of Green. Yes Captain Birdseye appears to have visited his gym & had a haircut..he used to look pretty craggy! Adventure is ok, ‘I love the song ‘Days’, it just feels less tense than Marquee Moon, Cheers Arturo!
@@Harrispilton22 Adventure is definitely less tense than Marquee Moon, although I find side one of MM very intense, and side two more relaxed. And then Adventure kind of carries on from side two. I also noticed a huge difference between the UK and US/Canadian pressings. The UK, on red vinyl, is very muted and soft sounding, and the North American ones sound way more energetic and trebly.
Yeah its surprising how hard that Only Ones record is to find for good money over here. Sad news about Tom Verlaine. Yeah the Jungle Line is an absolutely stellar track. Hard to believe that no one wanted Pauls Boutique at the time lol.
Hi Dan, yes I beleive The Only Ones flopped on release, hence its scarcity I guess. Yes it’s all about context with Paul’s Boutique, the Beasties were seen as a washed up novelty joke band by 89, & then they released this sample heavy, messy album, with no obvious hits & it just bombed! It wasn’t until the mid nineties that people starting discovering it was actually genius! Thanks Dan, I hope all is well.
Hi Harris - I saw the last show of The Only Ones as they opened for The Who at the Forum in Los Angeles ( Where Magic 🎩 Johnson played Basketball 🏀 ) Pete picked them to open the US Tour. Tom Verlaine was awesome .. my favorite guitarist ... seek out his 1981 release Dreamtime.
Hi David, yes someone else mentioned ‘’Dreamtime’ in another video, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it? Incredible you got to see The Only Ones, although I’m guessing they would have been slightly ‘refreshed’!. Seemed to be constantly battling addictions!
Capt Birdseye, impressive, much more expensive than Tescos own brand 80p. All these subscribers, will be shopping in Waitrose soon! Cant bloody believe it , just bought a Talking Head LP this week!!!...every time! You're doing well on the 12"s, keep it up 👍
@@Harrispilton22 Bought so much in january its taken me till now to process it all into a video, AGAIN we are telepathically buying the same bands....The Name of the Band is Talking Heads etc etc
PS - don't want to rub it in (o yes I do); Talking Heads formed at my alma mater, RISD, and they were a couple of years ahead of me. Sophomore year ('76) my classmates and I would always go to see them at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, R.I. It was a small supper club and Roomful of Blues were performing regulars there. David Byrne would introduce each song in the oddest way; almost as if he was autistic or something. No one laughed. They played the RISD auditorium right before my class graduated in '79. I never saw any of his paintings. I was a painting major as well. But I guess he wasn't all that serious a student. What do I know. They released '77 and they blew up. That's all I remember.
Great story Mike!. Yeah 1977 was a fantastic album, but Psycho killer just came out of nowhere. Just so iconic. Tina Weymouth must be one of the most underrated bassist’s of all time.Psyco Killer, Once In A Lifetime, Genius Of Love by Tom Tom Club. She’s up there with the very best. Incredible talent.
Harris, re: Heaven 17, Clockwork Orange, Alex is in the record shop chatting up the 2 girls. There is a chart list and one of the songs is by The Heaven 17. there you are.
"The CodCast: Real Talk with No Ifs, Ands, or Hali-Buts." Yeah, you can feel free to use that, Harris. I'm going to reserve the right to charge once the CodCast goes huge. I love how the Only Ones were "Compilation Rich". RIP Tom Verlaine! Still have to get into Marquee Moon. Maybe I'm ready? We'll see. Wooo! That is some Joni-weirdness. Thanks for pointing it out! I will keep my eyes open for Hissing Lawns. Love "Can I Kick It?" I remember that the 12" had an amazing version compared to the album. Nicely done. Nicely done also to your hanging laundry, which I felt struck a stoic, but knowledgeable pose throughout. Have a great one!
Blimey Craig, you were brave linking my channel in Rachel’s stream! , I quickly exited before the usual bloodbath, we’ve got a bit of a Biggie vs Tupac thing going on!
@@Harrispilton22 haha. Shit, man. I realize you "run these streets hard", but that was a surprise. Still, it's Rachel. She's always of good mood and vibe. I see a future squashing of this beef!
I usually don’t get bummed when an artist dies, I call that life but I was bummed about Verlaine. Marque Moon is definitely a Top 20 albums for me and his first couple solo albums were great. Fantastic find with The Only Ones, It took me years to find them. So Uncle Ben’s is now Ben’s. Are we allowed to use the word Uncle anymore. Interesting. Good luck on the Cod cast, brilliant idea.
Hi Steve, yes sad news. You could put up a fairly compelling argument that Television invented modern Indie Rock ‘REM, The Feelies’..the list goes on. People keep mentioning his solo albums, strangely I’ve never seen them! Must arrest that. Thanks as ever Steve.
Would Capt. B like….. Twist and Trout or maybe A Town Called Mullet….just thinking. Missed you at the 1865, I think I was in and out before you arrived. I saw Richard and he made me part with some cash. Television’s Marquee Moon fantastic album, one of my favourites for a long time. Bye for now Greta T’s lovechild 😂 Mike 🎸
Hi. Ike, I had a quick look for you...but no joy! Yes Richard seems a great guy. Loving the fish puns! That fair was really busy, look forward to seeing what you picked up. Cheers Mike!
Hi Harris, weirdly an ex colleague had an rich Uncle in London who ran a talent agency. His biggest client was Captain Birdseye! I think he regenerates like Dr Who though so maybe a different one now!
Hi Ed!..Fish Fingers invented in Southampton..true story! Yes the modern Captain Birdseye appears to have hit the gym...he’s probably on power shakes and a Keto diet! Uncle Ben must be kicking his heels somewhere!
@@Harrispilton22 I never knew about that Southampton Fish finger connection..Along with the Spitfire, Benny Hill & Ken Russell that’s pretty much modern civilisation!
Nice Michael Caine....That codfast seems fishy though?!? That's a great Talking Heads 12". I even like their last worldy album. Last time I thought about Heaven 17 was when one 'em was on the Sparks doco. I thought Another Girl...was a hit too?!? Great record. Tom Verlaine was a one of a kind guitarist. Marquee Moon best debut ever? Pretty damn close if it's not. Is that the same Burundi that gave us the Burundi style drumming that Adam & The Ants became popstars with? Yes Tribe, so cool. Another load of 12" goodness mate. Cheers...Ben
Thanks Ben, I’m thinking of introducing more impressions into the videos. I do an amazing Richie Benaud... ‘Morning Everyone’...& my Mick Jagger is sublime. Yeah Malcolm McLaren heard The Ants using the Burundi drums, nicked a member for Bow Wow Wow & stole the sound! Cheeky! I remember Def Leopard using it on some dreadful single in 87, still haunts me!
@@Harrispilton22 Yes please...you could do the whole video in character. Brilliant! That's right it was Bow Wow Wow. I thought there was some connection. Cheers...ben
A Codcast has to have an interview with Charlie Tuna. He was quite the TV star back in the 60s. Your ratings would surge! You know if I was 3 years younger I could have been in high school with all of the Minutemen. All attended San Pedro High but they were in the Junior High next door when I was in the high school.
Wow, I’ve loved the Minutemen ever since the Melody Maker wrote about D Boons death. I was chatting to a mate the other day about the time we bought Double Nickels in Tower Records Piccadilly Circus, there were dozens of copies stacked up, now it’s seen a very desirable.San Pedro always looked an interesting place, a bit rough & ready, rather similar to where I live now..but with better weather!
@@mistery-ed7900 yes. That’s interesting Ed. I love learning about the geography of America on the VC. Southampton is known as ‘The Gateway To The World’ I always wonder what Americans must think when they see Southampton lurch into view from the deck of the QE2.I love Port towns, the constant state of movement, people drift in & out here, I drift off to sleep with the sounds of the docks clanging away, I’d really miss it.
Hi Harris, little known reggae fact, the Congos loved their fish fingers and Fisherman is their tribute to Captain Birdseye. Weasel Records sounds a bit shady, given the choice I always shop at Ratty and Badger’ Records.
Ha,Ha, I’ve got that Congo’s album, never shown it for some reason? Weasles was amazing, but was certainly in a dodgy part of town. I used to go down there aged 14 and my mum would be terrified!
Look up the Bob Lefsetz podcast for a new interview with Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads). A fascinating dude. Although a bit blasphemous for someone like me - a VU/1970s NYC music addict - Marquee Moon has never been one of my faves. As brilliant as the music is, I often find Verlaine’s reedy (not Reed-y) voice unlistenable. “See No Evil” is an all time great, though! Give the Neon Boys a shot. Verlaine and Richard Hell’s pre-Television band. There’s a lofi recording available.
Hi M, yeah I get it, his voice can be an obstacle, I think the Sam applies to Pete Perret of the Only Ones, who I reckon Damon Albarn ripped off. Cheers for the heads up, I’ll check that out, I’ve heard him & David Byrne had an investing relationship!
'tumultuous'', it seems every video you throw a word in of this calibre! ''making an uproar or loud, confused noise'', should be your middle name! Marquee Moon was not good enough to be in my collection, imagine the quality of it! It was a close call, had it for a few months in my should I keep it crates! Gave it a few spins, One needs to be fair! One of those vinyls the 'masses' were frequently told was very good, so many assumed it was!! The 'Love Supreme' dynamic, or Beethoven's Late String Quartets. Burundi Black sounds like a combination of Adam and the Ants backing band and Liberace. Jungle Line was 75', gorgeous LP.
It’s actually quite hard to get a handle on your musical favourites Mike,.I certainly wasn’t expecting ‘Hissing’ to make the grade. Great album though. Would you include ‘Astral Weeks’ in the vinyl masses list? It seems an album that frequently divides opinion?
@@Harrispilton22 Hissing and Don Juan are in my top 100 vinyls with Blue and Court and Spark probably in the top 200. Whatever you do NEVER listen to her Mingus or what came after. Astral Weeks is a masterpiece, a very curious, complex, fascinating Lp. A 'chance' masterpiece, once you untangle the lack of connection between the players. Esentially he got lucky with his Jazz backing band! His opus is poor overall, although a couple of early 70's Lps are not bad. If I could only take 8 'pop' Lp's to a desert island it would be Rock Bottom, Superfly, Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Astral Weeks, Comme a la Radio, Bush of Ghosts, First Take and Don Juan. And I would not take you with me!!!
@@miketomlin6040 that’s actually a fascinating list. I actually own 5 of those.Rock Bottom is magnificent, I’ve got it on one of those doubles with the next album..not so good. Miseducation would have been perfect if it had included ‘Sweetest Thing’ Bush Of Ghosts I can only find beaten up. Comme La Radio is unknown to me, but I shall seek it out.
@@Harrispilton22 Sweetest Thing is lovely. It's a similar Lp to Astral Weeks in that it seemed to involve a number of 'chance' dynamics, or characters, that came together unexpectedly. She had done nothing prior to, or since, that was of any obvious merit. To what degree she was pivotal to the project I know not. It was also unusual in being a masterpiece that sold in large numbers, happens, but rarely, at least initially. Comme a la radio, like Astral Weeks, had some Jazzzzers sitting in!!. Like Morrison she had a few solid efforts afterwards, but not many and nothing of this calibre, to my knowledge. If you hear it let me know how it effects your neural circuitry!
Come on now.....give us your fish and rice themed songs !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I've not long got home from the Leicester record fair.....a productive few hours spent browsing,digging and buying. A road rage incident on the way there and what I can only describe as being violated by a cougar 😲😲😲 What a day !!!
Sounds exciting Nick..I’m assuming you man a Ford Cougar! Looking forward to seeing what you picked up, I love a record fair, can always have a bit of a bands with the stall holder & get prices slashed! Hope all is well mate!
@@Harrispilton22 Yep all is well matey 🙂 Picked up an LP by a band you've mentioned a few times. It's part of my try a blind buy,you never know you might even like them type thing 🤔
Something very fishy going on round here(as usual), I got that only ones.....its a goodie, crazy think there was alotta time u couldn't even give away wax, noce 1 ramsay👌🙃
Yes the Beasties were considered a bit of a joke act by 89, it was only about four years later people recognised the genius of Paul’s Boutique, I didn’t like it at first, then listened to it constantly, I think I know every rhyme on that thing!
I'm thinking Harris have you been incorrectly cancelled and harshly dealt with by some of the VC? Have you set out to be controversial? It's the battle between pre prepared and free flow humour I like I think you've cracked it I think Captain Birdseye would need double CRB checking now........ Nice to get excited about your 12"s 😉 the much maligned format that was huge in the 80/90s.
Ha,ha, I always think it’s healthy to poke a bit of fun at the VC, & to be honest people always seem to take it in good humour. Chance has actually commented on this video, & he’s taken in in the spirit it was delivered, which is really decent of him. It’s impossible to discuss the joy of the 12 inch without things disintegrating into ‘Carry On Vinyl Community’
Another JAW DROPPING Stack-O-Vinyl Mr. Pilton!
Thanks David, yes as soon as I heard that Only Ones opener I thought Television.
Fish sticks for all! Love your openings. Trout hahah. Good to see you again Harris
Hey Cheers Jason..I found the 12" of Mobb Deeps 'Shook Ones Part 2' for less than a pound yesterday! I want to tell someone & you the only person who'd appreciate it! 😃
@@Harrispilton22 Wow!! Thats like a grail 12 for me. And currently selling for about $50 on discogs. Great find man!

Hi David, yes someone else mentioned ‘’Dreamtime’ in another video, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it? Incredible you got to see The Only Ones, although I’m guessing they would have been slightly ‘refreshed’!. Seemed to be constantly battling addictions!
Capt Birdseye, impressive, much more expensive than Tescos own brand 80p. All these subscribers, will be shopping in Waitrose soon!
Cant bloody believe it , just bought a Talking Head LP this week!!!...every time!
You're doing well on the 12"s, keep it up
👍
Ha, ha, yeah I love the 12”, it’s all I’m playing tbh, Great to know we’re in synch again!🤣
@@Harrispilton22 Bought so much in january its taken me till now to process it all into a video, AGAIN we are telepathically buying the same bands....The Name of the Band is Talking Heads etc etc
Love that Only Ones record.
It’s Brilliant.
PS - don't want to rub it in (o yes I do); Talking Heads formed at my alma mater, RISD, and they were a couple of years ahead of me. Sophomore year ('76) my classmates and I would always go to see them at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, R.I. It was a small supper club and Roomful of Blues were performing regulars there. David Byrne would introduce each song in the oddest way; almost as if he was autistic or something. No one laughed. They played the RISD auditorium right before my class graduated in '79. I never saw any of his paintings. I was a painting major as well. But I guess he wasn't all that serious a student. What do I know. They released '77 and they blew up. That's all I remember.

Great story Mike!. Yeah 1977 was a fantastic album, but Psycho killer just came out of nowhere. Just so iconic. Tina Weymouth must be one of the most underrated bassist’s of all time.Psyco Killer, Once In A Lifetime, Genius Of Love by Tom Tom Club. She’s up there with the very best. Incredible talent.
Harris, re: Heaven 17, Clockwork Orange, Alex is in the record shop chatting up the 2 girls. There is a chart list and one of the songs is by The Heaven 17. there you are.
Hey Mike, thanks, I knew there was some sort of reference. Much appreciate it!
"The CodCast: Real Talk with No Ifs, Ands, or Hali-Buts." Yeah, you can feel free to use that, Harris. I'm going to reserve the right to charge once the CodCast goes huge. I love how the Only Ones were "Compilation Rich". RIP Tom Verlaine! Still have to get into Marquee Moon. Maybe I'm ready? We'll see. Wooo! That is some Joni-weirdness. Thanks for pointing it out! I will keep my eyes open for Hissing Lawns. Love "Can I Kick It?" I remember that the 12" had an amazing version compared to the album. Nicely done. Nicely done also to your hanging laundry, which I felt struck a stoic, but knowledgeable pose throughout. Have a great one!
Blimey Craig, you were brave linking my channel in Rachel’s stream! , I quickly exited before the usual bloodbath, we’ve got a bit of a Biggie vs Tupac thing going on!
@@Harrispilton22 haha. Shit, man. I realize you "run these streets hard", but that was a surprise. Still, it's Rachel. She's always of good mood and vibe. I see a future squashing of this beef!
@@vinylrecordplayer no chance mate, it’s fair to say I think we have passed the point of no return🤣.
I usually don’t get bummed when an artist dies, I call that life but I was bummed about Verlaine. Marque Moon is definitely a Top 20 albums for me and his first couple solo albums were great. Fantastic find with The Only Ones, It took me years to find them. So Uncle Ben’s is now Ben’s. Are we allowed to use the word Uncle anymore. Interesting. Good luck on the Cod cast, brilliant idea.
Hi Steve, yes sad news. You could put up a fairly compelling argument that Television invented modern Indie Rock ‘REM, The Feelies’..the list goes on. People keep mentioning his solo albums, strangely I’ve never seen them! Must arrest that. Thanks as ever Steve.
Great finds Harris! The Codcast-seriously? Sounds a bit fishy to me! 😉
Badoom! Thanks Ash, and so the fish puns begin!😂
@@Harrispilton22 Is your first episode going to focus on sole music, perhaps from the North Sea? I guess that would make it….
Cod cast me Ahoy! Subbed Harris! Shiver me Timbers!
Thanks! I’d say the same..but I’ve been subbed to you for about 3 years..but then you keep disappearing! Really appreciate it, thank you!
Would Capt. B like….. Twist and Trout or maybe A Town Called Mullet….just thinking. Missed you at the 1865, I think I was in and out before you arrived. I saw Richard and he made me part with some cash.
Television’s Marquee Moon fantastic album, one of my favourites for a long time. Bye for now Greta T’s lovechild 😂 Mike 🎸
Hi. Ike, I had a quick look for you...but no joy! Yes Richard seems a great guy. Loving the fish puns! That fair was really busy, look forward to seeing what you picked up. Cheers Mike!
Hi Harris, weirdly an ex colleague had an rich Uncle in London who ran a talent agency. His biggest client was Captain Birdseye! I think he regenerates like Dr Who though so maybe a different one now!
Hi Ed!..Fish Fingers invented in Southampton..true story! Yes the modern Captain Birdseye appears to have hit the gym...he’s probably on power shakes and a Keto diet! Uncle Ben must be kicking his heels somewhere!
@@Harrispilton22 I never knew about that Southampton Fish finger connection..Along with the Spitfire, Benny Hill & Ken Russell that’s pretty much modern civilisation!
@@Ed-Topo-108 don't forget Craig David Ed!
Definitely Craig! Had a solid career. That Ashford & Simpson track is new to me. Very cool!just put it in a Disco playlist.
@@Ed-Topo-108 I first heard the vocal version by John Davis & The Monster Orchestra which is also great.
Nice Michael Caine....That codfast seems fishy though?!? That's a great Talking Heads 12". I even like their last worldy album. Last time I thought about Heaven 17 was when one 'em was on the Sparks doco. I thought Another Girl...was a hit too?!? Great record.
Tom Verlaine was a one of a kind guitarist. Marquee Moon best debut ever? Pretty damn close if it's not. Is that the same Burundi that gave us the Burundi style drumming that Adam & The Ants became popstars with? Yes Tribe, so cool. Another load of 12" goodness mate. Cheers...Ben
Thanks Ben, I’m thinking of introducing more impressions into the videos. I do an amazing Richie Benaud... ‘Morning Everyone’...& my Mick Jagger is sublime. Yeah Malcolm McLaren heard The Ants using the Burundi drums, nicked a member for Bow Wow Wow & stole the sound! Cheeky! I remember Def Leopard using it on some dreadful single in 87, still haunts me!
@@Harrispilton22 Yes please...you could do the whole video in character. Brilliant!
That's right it was Bow Wow Wow. I thought there was some connection. Cheers...ben
A Codcast has to have an interview with Charlie Tuna. He was quite the TV star back in the 60s. Your ratings would surge!
You know if I was 3 years younger I could have been in high school with all of the Minutemen. All attended San Pedro High but they were in the Junior High next door when I was in the high school.
Wow, I’ve loved the Minutemen ever since the Melody Maker wrote about D Boons death. I was chatting to a mate the other day about the time we bought Double Nickels in Tower Records Piccadilly Circus, there were dozens of copies stacked up, now it’s seen a very desirable.San Pedro always looked an interesting place, a bit rough & ready, rather similar to where I live now..but with better weather!
@@Harrispilton22
If I ever live in an urban environment again San Pedro would top my list. I haven't lived in a town or city for over 40 years!
@@mistery-ed7900 yes. That’s interesting Ed. I love learning about the geography of America on the VC. Southampton is known as ‘The Gateway To The World’ I always wonder what Americans must think when they see Southampton lurch into view from the deck of the QE2.I love Port towns, the constant state of movement, people drift in & out here, I drift off to sleep with the sounds of the docks clanging away, I’d really miss it.
Capt Bird's-eye- favourite female artist
Skate Bush (you started this!)
Ha,Ha.You’ve won the internet today Mark!! How did I not think of that! Brilliant!
@@Harrispilton22 Captain Birdseye was also a fan of Prefab Sprat. But he was much more into Sole Music.
Hi Harris, little known reggae fact, the Congos loved their fish fingers and Fisherman is their tribute to Captain Birdseye. Weasel Records sounds a bit shady, given the choice I always shop at Ratty and Badger’ Records.
Ha,Ha, I’ve got that Congo’s album, never shown it for some reason? Weasles was amazing, but was certainly in a dodgy part of town. I used to go down there aged 14 and my mum would be terrified!
Look up the Bob Lefsetz podcast for a new interview with Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads). A fascinating dude.
Although a bit blasphemous for someone like me - a VU/1970s NYC music addict - Marquee Moon has never been one of my faves. As brilliant as the music is, I often find Verlaine’s reedy (not Reed-y) voice unlistenable. “See No Evil” is an all time great, though!
Give the Neon Boys a shot. Verlaine and Richard Hell’s pre-Television band. There’s a lofi recording available.
Hi M, yeah I get it, his voice can be an obstacle, I think the Sam applies to Pete Perret of the Only Ones, who I reckon Damon Albarn ripped off. Cheers for the heads up, I’ll check that out, I’ve heard him & David Byrne had an investing relationship!
'tumultuous'', it seems every video you throw a word in of this calibre! ''making an uproar or loud, confused noise'', should be your middle name! Marquee Moon was not good enough to be in my collection, imagine the quality of it! It was a close call, had it for a few months in my should I keep it crates! Gave it a few spins, One needs to be fair! One of those vinyls the 'masses' were frequently told was very good, so many assumed it was!! The 'Love Supreme' dynamic, or Beethoven's Late String Quartets. Burundi Black sounds like a combination of Adam and the Ants backing band and Liberace. Jungle Line was 75', gorgeous LP.
It’s actually quite hard to get a handle on your musical favourites Mike,.I certainly wasn’t expecting ‘Hissing’ to make the grade. Great album though. Would you include ‘Astral Weeks’ in the vinyl masses list? It seems an album that frequently divides opinion?
@@Harrispilton22 Hissing and Don Juan are in my top 100 vinyls with Blue and Court and Spark probably in the top 200. Whatever you do NEVER listen to her Mingus or what came after. Astral Weeks is a masterpiece, a very curious, complex, fascinating Lp. A 'chance' masterpiece, once you untangle the lack of connection between the players. Esentially he got lucky with his Jazz backing band! His opus is poor overall, although a couple of early 70's Lps are not bad.
If I could only take 8 'pop' Lp's to a desert island it would be Rock Bottom, Superfly, Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Astral Weeks, Comme a la Radio, Bush of Ghosts, First Take and Don Juan. And I would not take you with me!!!
@@miketomlin6040 that’s actually a fascinating list. I actually own 5 of those.Rock Bottom is magnificent, I’ve got it on one of those doubles with the next album..not so good. Miseducation would have been perfect if it had included ‘Sweetest Thing’ Bush Of Ghosts I can only find beaten up. Comme La Radio is unknown to me, but I shall seek it out.
@@Harrispilton22 Sweetest Thing is lovely. It's a similar Lp to Astral Weeks in that it seemed to involve a number of 'chance' dynamics, or characters, that came together unexpectedly. She had done nothing prior to, or since, that was of any obvious merit. To what degree she was pivotal to the project I know not. It was also unusual in being a masterpiece that sold in large numbers, happens, but rarely, at least initially. Comme a la radio, like Astral Weeks, had some Jazzzzers sitting in!!. Like Morrison she had a few solid efforts afterwards, but not many and nothing of this calibre, to my knowledge. If you hear it let me know how it effects your neural circuitry!
Come on now.....give us your fish and rice themed songs !!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've not long got home from the Leicester record fair.....a productive few hours spent browsing,digging and buying.
A road rage incident on the way there and what I can only describe as being violated by a cougar 😲😲😲
What a day !!!
Sounds exciting Nick..I’m assuming you man a Ford Cougar! Looking forward to seeing what you picked up, I love a record fair, can always have a bit of a bands with the stall holder & get prices slashed! Hope all is well mate!
Pls tell me the Ska Van wasnt dented?
@@SteviesVinylCupboard
The Ska themed van ain't mine 😄
@@Harrispilton22
Yep all is well matey 🙂 Picked up an LP by a band you've mentioned a few times. It's part of my try a blind buy,you never know you might even like them type thing 🤔
@@nicksvinylbutty5488 still time 😄
What, Tom Verlaine died? Sad news... Marquee Moon is one of my favorite albums.
Yes announced last night. Very sad
Something very fishy going on round here(as usual), I got that only ones.....its a goodie, crazy think there was alotta time u couldn't even give away wax, noce 1 ramsay👌🙃
Yes the Beasties were considered a bit of a joke act by 89, it was only about four years later people recognised the genius of Paul’s Boutique, I didn’t like it at first, then listened to it constantly, I think I know every rhyme on that thing!
I'm thinking Harris have you been incorrectly cancelled and harshly dealt with by some of the VC? Have you set out to be controversial? It's the battle between pre prepared and free flow humour I like I think you've cracked it I think Captain Birdseye would need double CRB checking now........
Nice to get excited about your 12"s 😉 the much maligned format that was huge in the 80/90s.
Ha,ha, I always think it’s healthy to poke a bit of fun at the VC, & to be honest people always seem to take it in good humour. Chance has actually commented on this video, & he’s taken in in the spirit it was delivered, which is really decent of him. It’s impossible to discuss the joy of the 12 inch without things disintegrating into ‘Carry On Vinyl Community’
Did Tom die?
He sure did Richie, although I’ve never seen a photo of him without a fag on the go, so it’s probably a miracle he made it past 60!
'Promo SM' 😕
Hi Khalil..I don’t know what you mean? What is ‘Promo SM’? 😆 Anyway thanks for watching! 😊
