…up on the site, as well as Flickr.
Yes the classic pics of JR tidying up post gig, this time from the Neko Case gig in Glasgow at the Oran Mor on November 8th, are up on his site Tour Pics Page, with bigger versions on Flickr.
Also stuck up bigger versions of the Shepherds Bush clean up pics on Flickr, after finally signing up with them, will now ahve to remember to take my camera with me places and to actually take some photos.
Also thought I’d stick up the info about some upcoming gigs Rauhouse’s band is doing in the Northwest US in December on last.fm, so while there I saw the site link wasn’t on there so I stuck on the bio I’d put up a number of months back but by the time I’d done all that the bio had gone. Shit had I wiped it instead, no, it had been deleted by a mod for not following the rules - I voz only obeying orders. Seemed to be alright for them for 7 months but 10 mins after adding the site URI it was gone, yeah OK it was the daft one from Bloodshot (see below) which was better than the nothing they had previously.
Oh well fucking humourless tard - “!!! belongs nowhere in a factual, unbiased artist description.” - Only dull facts and figures do, heyzeus give someone some power. I imagine it was the mention of Alice Cooper’s snake that did it.
Original version of bio
Raised on Easter Island in the Southern Pacific, his destiny as the next tribal chief was derailed when he was struck on his ample head by an eleven-pound coconut. His three weeks of recovery were characterized by feverish rantings about Santo & Johnny and Speedy & Jimmy and cross-dressing. When fully recovered, Jon was uncontrollably lured to the rusty pedal steel guitar that laid for years in the hold of a World War II cargo plane that had crashed on the wrong side of the island many decades before. His playing was flawless; technically proficient, yet totally swashbuckling and swoony. The rest of the islanders quickly grew tired of his noodling and persistent good nature and threw him and his instrument into a hastily constructed out rigger canoe, and cast him from the island. Eventually, Jon found his way to the brown air that shrouds Phoenix and started his career as a stand in for Alice Cooper’s snake.
The 70’s saw Jon being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975. It was his soothing and tropical guitar wizardry that helped set an amicable tone during the negotiations between Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho to end the Vietnam War. Henry, being the 20th Century’s biggest jackass refused, however, to share the award three ways. (Just one more reason to hate the man). His ego bruised, Jon spent the remainder of the decade defending his enthusiasm for the trend of “streaking.”
Currently, he spends his free time justifying the six acres of lush, green lawn he maintains at his Phoenix hacienda.
The keepers at the Bloodshot asylum first noticed him playing with the Grievous Angels. A steel guitar player in a rock band?? Hell YES!!!! His hunched over demeanor and the madman gleam in his eye told us that we had found a kindred spirit.
Since then, Jon has lent his considerable talents to tours and recordings by Neko Case, Sally Timms, Kelly Hogan, Calexico, the Waco Brothers, and Giant Sand. Let’s not forget that the steel guitar and Hawaiian guitar are HARD to play, and he makes it look so easy.
He is also revered in Nottingham, England. Seriously.
…why not try and get defeated early.
England start day three of the first test at 53-3 replying to Australia’s 602-9 declared.
With some poor shots, step forward Strauss, helping England to what looks like a quick defeat here, still got to get over 350 to avoid the follow on. At least Harmison didn’t celebrate like he’d just won the match when he got his wicket.
Will the Ashes be gone by Chrimbo?
…all those chances will go in.
And Spurs fans won’t have to spend a nervy night waiting semi-expecting for the equaliser.
But another good win in the UEFA Cup, top of the group through to the next stage after defeating Dimitar Berbatov’s old club Bayer Leverkusen 1-0, thanks to a goal from the man himself. Though how he missed that sitter later on no one knows.
And if he’d knocked that in and if Robbie Keane would stop trying to be Terry Henry and just bang it early with his left instead of trying to curl it past the ‘keeper with his right then it would have been a better night.
As Tony Sopr..err..Martin Jol said “you have to convert possibilities into goals”. At some point all these chances will go in, someone will be on the end of a stuffing
Paul Robinson showed yet again why he’s the best in the country, with Pascal Chimbomba again proving what a good buy he is. Also thought Malbranque looked OK, though might have been better through the middle with Tainio on the left would’ve given Assou-Ekotto a little more protection, especially after the Germans brought Freier in the second half.
And if they could transform this European away form to the Premiership that would be nice.
