MUSIC NEWS: How’s The 250th STATE FAIR Party going Donny?
Party planning prolly not his strongest point??!! 6/9 pulled out of concert nobody wanted to see anyhoo!?
Half a band that used to be a fake Milli Vanilli!? The Commodores without the old singer (or now the new one!). Thought you were a supporter of the LGBT YMCA hitmakers The Village People? what about your pal Kid Rock or JayZus?
Bill Maher noted Trump’s big Freedom 250 spectacle is so lame it can’t even hold onto acts like Vanilla Ice and Milli (or Vanilli?) Fab Morvan.“That’s got to hurt a lot, when you can’t close the deal with Milli Vanilli.”The irony writes itself. Trump promised a star-studded celebration of America and ended up with lip-sync scandals and one-hit wonders from the early ‘90s. And even they’re bailing left and right.Now the memes are piling up. The likes of the California Raisins, the Banana Splits, and Josie and the Pussycats all can’t make it, unfortunately.Maher also torched Trump’s unhinged plan to print fancy new $250 bills with his own face plastered on them:“Here’s something in the category of wow, we never used to be this country: They’re putting out a $250 bill with Trump’s face on it. Republicans in Congress are thrilled about it. They can’t wait to carry it in their wallet. What a switcheroo: having Trump’s face next to their ass.”We saw this coming a mile away. Trump is trying to turn America’s hallowed 250th anniversary into a low-rent Trump ego party stacked with has-beens that even the has-beens don’t want to show up for.
Vanilla Rock.
THIS JUST IN!
Trump CANCELS America's 250th birthday concert as he blasts 'boring, overpriced singers' and compares big event to troubled Kennedy Center. What if you gave a party and no entertainers wanted to come?The Daily Snail has this
The Jesus and Mary Chain - URBANASPIRINES | A Kostas 5 Disc special
The Jesus And Mary Chain: Discography 1985 - 1994
Kostas does his usual thorough job of an in depth profile here
Koastas includes the notes:
"Inspired by the sounds of the post-punk surrounding them in the late '70s, the Reids began talking about starting a band for years, but it wasn't until 1983 that they got serious. They made a series of Ramones-influenced demos on home recording gear, then recruited bassist Douglas Hart and drummer Murray Dalglish. This early edition of the band started playing the occasional gig, often uninvited by the club's owners, and soon caught the ear of local lad Bobby Gillespie. Thanks to his passing a tape on to Alan McGee, the band scored a slot at the latter's club The Living Room. Impressed by the band's sound and presentation, McGee signed them to his Creation label and signed on as their manager. In late 1984 -- just as Gillespie joined in place of Dalglish -- the band issued its seminal debut single, "Upside Down," a gnarly blast of live-wire feedback anchored by a caveman-like drumbeat. “

Now I would prolly day they aren’t my favourite band and I think since their early emergence I just felt too hecken freckin’ old to countenance them properly somehow, I have liked some things and get the connections to the Velvets etc but I don't think I own any . . . . . my loss
