Off to Czech Rep. tomorrow for 8 nights. 5 nights in Karvina near Ostrava then back to Prague for the last 3 nights. A lot saner and a bit cooler than UK. Nice to go to a European country that's not overrun by swarthy 3rd world hordes - even the capital Prague. CZ, Poland, Hungary, etc - there is still hope for Europe. Only dark days for the rest.

A great Small Faces cover by famous Czech band - Katapult. Well, they're famous in CZ anyway. (y)

 
My fave version of 'Beggin' is by The Timebox. Members of this group who went on to other things are grinning drummer John Halsey and the vibes player Ollie Halsall...

 
The mighty Velvet Underground and 'There She Goes Again'. Great and hugely influential they were. Any group that has ever set out to look and sound WEIRD owes it to thr Velvets. Hardly anybody knew about them during the few years that they were together... almost everybody knows them in retrospect, through myths and legends. Lou Reed was responsible for much of the image weirdness, with John Cale doing the musical weirdness. Cale, from Wales, is the only one still living...

Great cover, sung and played with feeling. Have a good time over there!
 
Bongo Dog Doo-Dah Band 'I'm The Urban Spaceman', produced by Apollo C. Vermouth, a.k.a. Paul McCartney. Singer is Neil Innes, who went on to television comedy in the 70s and 80s.

Some time after the Bonzos had split up, Neil Innes formed The Rutles with Monty Python's Eric Idle, as a Beatles spoof group. John Halsey and Ollie Halsall from Timebox were on drums and guitar respectively. Halsey had become a session drummer in the meantime, one of his credits being Lou Reed's 'Transformer' LP. If the tune to 'How Sweet To Be An Idiot' sounds familiar, it is because the ghastly Oasis ripped it off for their tune 'Whatever'...

 
John Cale 'Dying On The Vine'...the only surviving member of the Velvets. On guitar is the fabulous Ollie Halsall from Timebox...
