That Roy Orbison comment is appalling.
That Roy Orbison comment is appalling.
It sounds like he's singing into a bucket, and the consequent noise is then piped from the PA system used by a 1990s pub quiz into the recording mic. Awful. Good songs though.
That bloke out of 10cc. The one with the beard.
I've heard of Tom Petty and Roy Orbison but The Wilburys? I'd barely have been able to say they were a band and I'm far superior to Spikey in all regards.
I'll admit they passed me by.The Traveling Wilburys (sometimes shortened to the Wilburys) were a British-American supergroup consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty. The band recorded two albums, the first in 1988 and the second in 1990, though Orbison died before the second was recorded.
Well, clearly not in kindness.
George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan were the other members.
I'm surprised that so few people know about them. They've always been on my radar, so perhaps my perception of their popularity is a bit skewed.
I'm familiar with all the individual members and their work (regrettably in Dylan's case), I just never knew they were all in a supergroup together in the late 80s.
The Travelling Wilburys is a good supergroup name though, I'll give them that.
Never heard of Jeff Lynne.
Apart from Bob Dylan and George Harrison, I didn't know the others were MEGA at all.
Ah, it wasn't 10cc. He was from ELO. Mr Blue Sky and ... Evil Woman ... and that.
The Travelling Wilburys had some kind of greatest hits not too long ago, I didn't know of them until that ad seemed to be on TV all the time.
George Harrison and Bob Dylan, it's almost a relief they passed me by.
The lack of respect for the Wilbury's hurts my soul, ya'll.
Yeah, well, personally I think George Harrison was the most talented Beatle.
I was trying to make fun of try-hards with that. Sorry.
Well that's the equaliser netted after I did you for racism earlier, albeit I somehow came off worse there as well.
He was though. Paul McCartney is a dweeb and Lennon was a bore.
Harrison was brilliant, but it's a proper hipster view to pretend he was better than McCartney or Lennon.
His songs are all great, but they make up about four per cent of the overall output. Plus he used to get Eric Clapton to do the hard bits for him.
I'm a massive Dylan fan and I couldn't name you a single Wilbury's song
Why the fuck would you listen to a supergroup? That's like the baseball all-star game or a Ryan Giggs charity match
Look, I happen to like Audioslave's first album, okay? An actual answer is this: "Guys from those bands you like, that are no longer active, are coming together to make more music. It might sound good."
Sean Hughes of Never Mind the Buzzcocks Fame
Fucking hell, only 51.
Kevin Cadle of Sky Sports presenting fame also a goner.
It was sirosis of the liver.
That's Irish for natural causes right?
Kev + Nick was the best.
Not really a 'celeb' but one of the main journalists to connect the Panama Papers to government officials was blown up by a car bomb outside her house in Malta today in not suspicious at all circumstances.
Hmm interesting that. Don't piss off important people eh.
The bloke who played JJ of JJ's Diner in Parks and Rec has died.
Fats Domino. 89.
That leaves Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, so there is clearly something to be said for sitting down.
Get on down...
...into a nice comfy chair.

Don Antonio Carluccio
Eighty isn't bad when you consider he was fat and must have worked his way through all sorts of unhealthy, cancer-causing booze/meat/shite over his life. So fuck off Jamie Oliver.
The Carluccio's near me closed down about a month ago, to be replaced by Tony Macaroni. Maybe what killed him.
