Posted on 05/30/2008 6:19:03 PM PDT by andyssister

Today in music history...

2007, a leaked copy of the new White Stripes album ‘Icky Thump’ was played completely on Chicago's radio station Q101-WKQX. Jack White personally called the US radio station from Spain, where he was touring, to voice his displeasure.

2004, Madonna was forced to pay out £250,000 in a lawsuit after copying ideas by the late French erotic photographer Guy Burton. Madonna had admitted that the video for her song ‘Hollywood’ was inspired by Burton.

1992, The Black Crowes went to No.1 on the US album chart with 'The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion'

1988, Leonard Cohen played the first of three sold out nights at London's Royal Albert Hall

1987, Adam Horovitz from The Beastie Boys was arrested while on tour after a beer can hit a fan during a disturbance in Liverpool, England.

1987, David Bowie kicked off his 87-date Glass Spider world tour at the Feynoord Stadium, Rotterdam, Holland.

1974, Bernadette Whelan a 14 year- old David Cassidy fan died of heart failure four days after attending a concert of his. Over 1,000 other fans had to be given first aid during the White City Stadium show.

1970, Ray Stevens went to No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Everything Is Beautiful'. The former DJ had a string of novelty hits, including 'Jeremiah Peabody's Poly Unsaturated Quick Dissolving Fast Acting Pleasant Tasting Green & Purple Pill'.

1971- Patrick Dalheimer, bassist, Live

1968- Tim Burgess, vocals, The Charlatans

1964- Tom Morello, guitar, Rage Against The Machine, (1996 US No.1 album 'Evil Empire'). Audioslave (2005 US No.1 album 'Out of Exile').

1944- Lenny Davidson, Dave Clark Five

I think I posted this recently but there are some good videos on YouTube with Jimmy Page/Black Crowes. That concert would have been second best to actually seeing Led Zeppelin!

Here's a strange one from one of the greatest keyboard players of the 80s. I still wonder why the babes with violins in the video didn't make this a classic. Sorry for the poor quality.

Giuffria - “I must be dreaming”

Someone say GIRLS?

Mainlining the UK late 70s at the dawn of New Wave;
Graham Parker - Local Girls

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C2SkcC3TXc

One more;
Dave Edmunds and Rockpile - “Girls Talk”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fpW1thGues

Tom Petty sings back up on this 1984 former Friday Night Videos staple.
Dwight Twilley “Girls”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOwOhJNU4uI

Here's a song from the same period as the rest here about a girl from Dominic Ierace, now a Pennsylvania mortgage broker called Donnie Iris. It's said that this song holds the record for most overdubs at over 300;

“Ah! Leah!” ( why couldn't they find a better looking girl for the video? )

My Morning Jacket - Highly Suspicious

I'm not saying that their new album has leaked to the internet already, and that it is the best thing you will hear all year, but I'm notnot saying those things either.

Since it is Tom Morello's Birthday this week here are a few of my favorite RATM and Audioslave songs.

Bulls on Parade

Sleep Now in the Fire Disclaimer: You will see Michael Moore in this video, but the song rocks so hard.

Shadow on the Sun

Guitar tricks with Tom and that tool Carson Daly

I haven't had the chance to see RATM live, but I did see Audioslave. It is really amazing how little studio trickery is involved.

How funny! We have been listening to XM’s 80’s channel all day!

How about some Nina Hagen? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROJ5_3RWxg8

Weird, wild stuff. I had to look up Nina Hagen (thought it was the 99 luft balloons Nena). Interesting quote from her on wikipedia: Both of my parents were atheists, and I found the way to God all alone on my own. You have to invite him, so that he shows up.
