Thanks Tony. Joe Cocker, in the small interaction I had seemed like he was a very nice man even when dealing with a slightly freaked out shelf stacker. Cheers...Ben
@@benrankins4446 I saw you met up with Romu in Canada. He’s a good buddy of mine and we talk daily. Such a small world come to think of it. Surely we’ll bump into one another in a shop somewhere. I’m frequently seen in and around Smith St (Licorice Pie, Plug 7, Searchers, Northside and Dutch are my go to shops usually, but not just). Cheers
Ha ha! Despite your protestations, it is indeed summer 🌞😎☀🏖 "You're Joe Cocker!" 👍 I've had similar celebrity encounters. I enjoyed your answers. I recorded my video yesterday and it will be up tomorrow. Why the wait? I have no idea.
It is not! ❄Well today it's going to be 21c, but the mornings are still cold! I'm not the best with celeb people even when I'm aware that they're behind me. I prefer to shrink into the background. I hope it's worth the wait 😎
I was wondering how you were going to do a summer video in mid winter, nice twist. I remember you both asking us in NYC about snow. Nice book store story and wish I could be at gig, hopefully you all will get some nice footage or as you would joke, pure content!!!!!!
Snow mystifies me. I can't imagine it, except on faraway mountain tops in Canada & Japan. At least Joe was a gentlemen even though I felt like an idiot 😂 It's all about content. We have a few gigs coming up. Next week, September and October. If someone points a phone at us hopefully I'll be able to get that precious content. Cheers mate...Ben
I have a similar Joe Cockup story.....Heathrow airport 1978.....my girlfriend and I were in the queue directly behind a little man...he briefly turned his little head and I SHRIEKED OUT ALOUD...THAT"S CHARLES AZNAVOUR!!!!.......boy,if looks could kill I would have died the death of a thousand cuts...monsieur Aznavour was NOT IMPRESSED.....SHEEESH.....I have never heard of any of the bands you have shown in this great video and neither has BRUCE NELSON.
I've never heard Charles Aznavour and shrieked in the same sentence 😂 You and Bruce are gentlemen of refined tastes. So you wouldn't want to touch any of this crap with a barge pole.
Hi Ben. Glad to see you put your seasonal reservations behind you and joined us Northerners in celebrating Summer when it should be. The best thing about Winter is the snow. It's the rain and the fact it gets dark at about 3p.m. that I can't be doing with. I listened to Tailem Bend after "Mike" Carlson showed it. Bloody awesome . Just listened to The 1980s. Great drum intro on Nothing So mate. When is the EP released ? Sorry can't make Fitzroy. I'll have to wait for the UK leg of your World tour. Meeting other weirdos from the VC makes it all worthwhile. Your meet up with some Canadian legends looked like a lot of fun.
@@mikevinylspiral Thanks Mike. I actually can’t complain the tail end of this week has all been days just above 20c. Glad you like Orb. All their albums are good, although for some the first one might be a bit too Sabs worshipy. Thanks for checking out The 1980s too. Pity, I already had your nemesis on the door 😂 Hopefully a 12” EP will be out before the years end. Will definitely be ready digitally as it’s being mastered as we speak. Maybe one day I’ll get over your way…but not in the snow season 👍
You should have waited to do this in Ja yard when you could really feel the summer vibe Mike. We really need to get some snow going your way. In person meet ups are great. BarakPdub, Paul, is flying into town tonight so I’m going to go meet him for dinner. That is what I enjoy most about the VC. That ORB album was wonderful, just trying to improve my Aussie collection for a little Mike respect. Maybe you should show the Go Between box set every week to just make us jealous Mike.
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 “Ja yard” Have you been hanging out too much with Linval Thompson & having the deep meditation while smokin’ the ‘erb Mike? I wish I was a bit closer so I could hang with all the VC legends more often. Your Aussie game is good Mike. It’s cool to see Orb back in action. I think the GB set might’ve already been rolled out at least 3 times already. Sorry, but not sorry. Cheers…Mike
The cool thing is that I have seen enough of your Aussie content that I now recognize a lot of names and albums. And you’re entertaining to listen to, so that’s two cool things. Love the Joe Cocker story!
@@musicisajourney Thanks mate 👍 I try my best & appreciate it the positive feedback. I don’t have the brain power to do the thorough research you do for your vid’s…it’s incredible the amount of work you put in.
@@benrankins4446 Yeah, but you’re Ben Rankins from Australia, the man of many shirts, the guy who sounds crotchety but has a glimmer in his eye. You’re a personality, mate!
Yeah ive watched that Cosmic psychos doc dozens of times. I like the bit where he meets that girl in America..then he finds himself chained to a bed., she sounded pretty nuts!I think they might be re realising 'Do The Hack' I hope so, because ive never seen it in the wild. Yeah hopefully ive got a couple of meet ups coming up, which is always a surreal experience!
The thing I find funny about that girl in America story is that he kept going back for years! I think you're right about Go The Hack being reissued. My couple of meet ups were great fun. Few beers, a few records, what more could you ask for? Cheers...Ben
Hey Ben, glad you showed the Proposition. I’ve been meaning to watch that film for about 20 years and obviously soak up the soundtrack too. That’s pencilled in for the weekend. Great stories… you are a raconteur par excellence! That Go-betweens boxset looks like a real beautiful big beast. Cheers, Jack
Thanks Jack, It's the kind of movie where you can feel the desert heat come off the screen and doesn't shy away from the harsh existence many lived back then. I gotta say the GB's box is definitely a highlight of the collection. Cheers mate...Ben
@@benrankins4446just found the link to your Bandcamp page. Sweet! Great stuff pal! What do you play, Ben? Really enjoyed Grapes and Gravy, but not sure I’d fancy that combination for a snack.
@@TheVinylVoyage-ud3uf Thanks Jack. These are the rough mixes, but pretty happy with where they’re at. It’s getting mastered for digital & vinyl very soon & with only luck we’ll have a 12” EP out before the end of year. Grapes & Gravy…who knows what goes through singers minds. Btw I’m the one up the back nailing it to the floor so the other 3 look less useless 😂🥁
Good on ya Ben! Don’t let the northerners get you down! That Lime Spiders cover remind me of proper sour lemon sodas we had when I was a kid. Like… Lilt. Lemons drink that hurts just a little… woah boy. Calm down. Ah yeah… Tell me more about this ORB, I’m intrigued. Tailem Bend is in SA? I’m sure their summer (sorry) was all the richer from having met you my china 😊 Oooh…. I want that Go Betweens box so so so much 🤤 Great winter video. Cheers from Morten
Bloody northerners 😂 When I was a kid we had spiders which was coke with a scoop of ice cream. Fancy! Tailem Bend...now that you say I think I said it was in Victoria! Orb a fantastic. They started off sounding a lot like early black Sabbath, but turned into something very interesting incorporating those kind of riffs, an almost funky drummer and King Crimson weirdness. Somehow the songs are catchy and have a real groove. They've been around for a while and played in stacks of other Melbourne bands like Frowning Clouds, Hierophants, Bonniwells & Traffik Island. You're too kind re: my northern summer experience. I was just very, very lucky to have got that GB box at the time. I didn't do anything special to get signed stuff. Just was lucky to be in the first 100 or so to pre-order it all those years ago. Cheers...Ben PS It's actually 21c today so not bad, but don't tell any northerners.
Why are these tags so long? 😂 by question 19 l couldn't be arsed! Stirling effort Benster. Good to hear Garner is doing his superb shit once again. I wouldn't know Joe Cocker if he bit me...
@@berwickshiremike51 I’m proposing that all future vinyl tags be a maximum of 10 questions. Or if I do them I’ll be just selecting the 10 questions I like 👍 The only way Joe could bite you know was if he became the walking dead! Cheers…Ben
Great video Ben. That Bob Seger story was funny (I have a similar story about an NHL hockey player). As a true northerner, my summer will surely be coming to an end by sometime in September... Cheers, Darryl.
Hello Ben. A bit off topic but essential. I just received and email from In The Red Records about a four LP set of The Saints (I'm Stranded) Box Set. It comes out in November but I've already ordered one. You probably know about it, but just wanted to be sure. Have a good day mate.
@@Merseyyank Yep I ordered mine about a month ago but thanks for thinking of me though. It’s so cool that it’s on In The Red, a label I love anyway, but so more o/s people will get an opportunity to snag it 👍
Yes! The Lime Spiders' Slave Girl lp. Sold it in a moving panic (with everything else years ago) and just recently found it again deep in Appalachia for a righteous price. Love the Psychos - Rowland Howard's Autoluminescent video is great as well.
Glad you got your Lime Spiders back. What a killer record! I saw the Rowland doco when it came out in the cinema and happened to be in Sydney at the time. I was seated next to none other than Mental As Anything legend Reg Mombassa!! Cheers...Ben
@@benrankins4446 Very cool - and with a side of Mr. Joe Cocker! I need to get out more often (elsewhere than record shops). By the way, I can't recall the name of it, but an RSD comp is out there of Zealander 60s stuff (way early Human Instinct, etc. - but best of all, was some guy who left his band -Avengers? - went over your way, and had the post surf era Atlantics back him up. Great tune - as all by The Atlantics, IMO).
Hello again. Overpowered the slack and pulled the lp: A Day In My Mind's Mind: The Kiwi Psychedelic Scene (Real Groovy Records, NZ). The song I ref'd was Chris Malcolm, "Hurt, Love and Fire." I will look into your title. I love the sound of later Human Instinct and Chants R&B, etc.. Gordons as well, but I reckon that was a decade or so later.
@@malcolmlawrence8978 I can see there's a copy of A Day in My Mind's Eye in NZ for $80.00AUD + shipping on Discogs. I think the one I mentioned was also on Real Groovy. Chants R&B & Human Instinct are killer. Gordons OMG! And Bailter Space! I could go on, but I'll leave it at that 😂
