CarterSaidWhat: That Can't Be True

http://cartersaidwhat.blogspot.com/2009/12/that-cant-be-true.html

That Can't Be True. They’re complete horse shit. Thanks to the internet rumours and myths come quicker than adolescent in a room full of Page 3 models. One of my favourites from years gone past was that Jim Morrison is still alive and kicking. Myths: Jim Morrison is alive and someone else’s body is in his grave. What I say: Complete and utter rhubarb. All this chat I put onto paper about stuff and bands is just my opinion. So don’t take offence if you don’t agree. Ya dig? Band of the week Nic Armstrong.

CarterSaidWhat: Mr Ian Dury Caught On Camera... Again

http://cartersaidwhat.blogspot.com/2009/12/mr-ian-dury-caught-on-camera-again.html

Mr Ian Dury Caught On Camera. Again. The trouble was, Dury was a deeply selfish bloke, in the way the creatively driven can be. An early scene shows him rehearsing deafeningly while Betty, in the upstairs bedroom, is in labour. It's played for laughs (‘Can you keep the noise down? I’ve just given birth! All this chat I put onto paper about stuff and bands is just my opinion. So don’t take offence if you don’t agree. Ya dig? Band of the week Nic Armstrong. Latest review Twisted Wheel.

CarterSaidWhat: Roses Made Of Stone

http://cartersaidwhat.blogspot.com/2009/12/roses-made-of-stone.html

Roses Made Of Stone. Sometimes it's cool to be arrogant. Sometimes it's OK to be confident and cocky. The Stone Roses had cheek and ridiculous self-belief. When producer John Leckie finished work on the band's eponymous debut, he told them they were going to do well. They shrugged; they knew. They had that idiosyncratic Manc swagger as epitomised by Happy Mondays before them and Oasis after. In the end, the Stone Roses split up very publicly. All the stories seemed so important at the time: Brown and...

Moving Through Records At Lightspeed. Hynes is set to release 50 bootleg albums that he’s written over the past 2 years. "Some, I would say, are awful . But mostly I find it all interesting. It's an experiment. Even some that I don't like particularly, I like the idea behind it”. It should be known that the bootleg series has nothing to do with Hynes second proper album, Life is Sweet!

Is That Jam On Your Face? Monday," and "Boy About Town"; the sha-la-la harmonies of "Man in the Corner Shop"; a Shelley poem on the back cover; and the Jam's best song ever, the acoustic lament "That's Entertainment," which can break your heart even if you have no idea what Weller's saying. Of all the Jam's many overlapping repackages, the original 1983 double-vinyl Snap! Has the version of "The Modern World" on which Weller yells, "I don't give a damn about your review!

CarterSaidWhat: Nazi's Are Wack Like Woolworths

http://cartersaidwhat.blogspot.com/2009/12/nazis-are-wack-like-woolworths.html

Nazi's Are Wack Like Woolworths. The Babyshambles front man took to the stage and sang the first stanza of Das Deutschlandlied. Now, although the third stanza is now Germany's national anthem, the first stanza is considered demonstration of far-right sympathies. The crowd booed so loud that Doherty was removed from the festival and sent on his way. Was it bad luck, or was it stupidity? Who knows. But what I am sure about is Doherty’s German fan base may have dwindled slightly. Latest review Twisted Wheel.
