Dolly Parton wrote Jolene and I Will Always Love You on the SAME EVENING.

I'm 40 and have absolutely noticed that in the last couple of years! Not a musical thing but an ex Home and Away actor died last week, apparently aged 41. I remember him as being an adult on the show, and I didn't think I'd watched it since I was about 20 so I'd have thought he was way more than 1 year older than me.

Yeah I get that with soap characters and film characters. It's not just people a few years older either though, the surprise widens relative to their age and me I reckon. I was watching a new film with Penélope Cruz in it the other day I my wandered a bit and I thought 'she must be in her mid 50's now' turns out I was over a decade out and she's only 13 years older than me.

I could say the same about people like Jamie Theakston/Kirsten O'Brien, but you see less of them these days.

It does have something to do with music: Bob Dylan wrote a song about it.

he calls it "my back hurts" these days though.

Imagine writing something as good as Jolene and not taking the rest of the night off.

Julia Bradbury Gave My Pal Tim A Blow Job isn't one of his best-known numbers though.

For a while, Gorillaz's live rhythm section was made up of the ex-drummer and ex-bassist from Senseless Things.

Apparently Jamie Hewlett was a big fan of the early-90s grebo also-rans (as was I) and did the artwork for their early releases.

Definitely in line with the thread's brief.

I'm a big fan of their 'Postcard CV' album, which I've just realised must be 30 years old now...

On a similar but, less commercially successful, theme. Thom Yorke apparently wrote Creep and Motion Picture Soundtrack on the same day but released them 8 years apart

I watched the same Sky Arts Song by Song programme. She says she was in her 'godspace' when she laid the songs down so God should really be getting the full writing credit for those songs.

He needs to sort his publishing out, I heard he never got a cent from The Bible either.

The album 'Cloak and Dagger' by Lee Perry has a reworking of 'The Liquidator' which is even closer to the Staples Sisters arrangement of 'I'll Take You There' than the arrangement that the Staples Sisters purchased from Harry J:

In other words:

The Liquidator inspires I'll Take You There which is then reworked again by Perry using the original organ player, Winston Wright.

The famous photo of Kurt Cobain's lifeless body laying in the outbuilding where died was taken from Peter Buck's back garden.

Excerpt from Mojo magazine:




I knew Cobain was friends with the members of R.E.M. and that Buck lived in Seattle at the time, but fuck my hat. I didn't know they were literally neighbours and had never heard about this grim bit of trivia.

Phil_A

"One More Kiss, Dear", the incredibly authentic thirties ballad pastiche on the Blade Runner soundtrack, was co-written by Vangelis and Peter Skellern??

George White

And Demis Roussos, doing a favour for his old Aphrodite's Child bandmate Vangelis, sang on the track Tales of the Future https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFktISM-Fhs 
Mary Hopkin contributed to the soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaxEbG8WCkU

70s middle-of-the-road pop stars galore..

'Someone' climbed up and took the photo yeah? Bet they did Peter.

The singer of Senseless Things was Morgan Nicholls, whose dad was/is cult mod guy Billy Nicholls of London Social Degree 'fame'

I think Morgan played bass. Mark Keds was the singer.

You're supposed to say "F*** my Hat, I didn't know that!"

Would You Believe?  Is a great album.  Should have called it 'Fuck My Hat...'. though

I knew about Roussos and Hopkin but Skellern came right out of the blue.

25 years being a fan of Blade Runner and that bit of trivia completely passed me by.

Years before Oasis shamelessly pilfered British music of the past with cocksure swagger, The Jam did that.

Heh. Now that you mention it: a few months after these events, R.E.M. released a song called Bang and Blame. Hmmm.

Google 'Mark Keds and Pete Doherty' to see the full devastation wreaked by the old smack heroin. Sad, he was a good-looking talented kid.
