MICK
Current mood: bored
WARNING - The following information is totally useless:
Today I found Uriah Heep's first LP w/ original gatefold cover. The liner notes are pretty awesome, plus, MICK BOX (guitar) is the most awesome brit rock name ever.
I also bought a book of Mick Rock's pics of Iggy and The Stooges' tenure in London during the "Raw Power" sessions. Maybe I should change my name to MICK: the most rock of all first names. Is there a Mick in the bible, Koran or Torah? There should be.
I also have a copy of Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" on vinyl. I'm pretty sure that if MMM is not the ultimate punk/industrial/power electronics album ever, it's definately the first. The liner notes are precious. Lou Reed is such an asshole. (Note to black metal enthusiasts: Fenriz is the Lou Reed of Black Metal - ya think?) I understand that Lou is a martial arts enthusiast these days, and has taken quite a liking to Anthony of Anthony And The Johnsons. I didn't know that Anthony is somewhat of a Bay Area native (as read in SF Weekly article this week) hey waitaminnit, theres no MICK involved here - but wait...
Lou Reed's best album, "Transformer", was produced by David Bowie and another Mick (Ronson - guitarist for The Spiders From Mars). Bowie also produced Mott The Hoople's best album and wrote the title track ("All The Young Dudes"). At the time the guitarist for MTH was another Mick (Ralphs - who went on to form Bad Company).
I'm so bored.
