The Radio Times Listing for Rock Around The Clock

"Rock Around the Clock was the picture that introduced movie audiences to the sound of rock 'n' roll-and caused riots in cinemas throughout Britain."

Riots! Their minds must have been properly blown when they heard Little Richard.

To be fair back then fresh fruit riots were not unknown.

I never knew Little Richard tried to get the ride off an Everly brother. Things were so innocent back in the day:rolleyes:.
As for Chuck Berry and what he gets up to in ladies bathrooms - that'll be next week I suppose.
And clown prince Jerry Lee has yet to enter with his own unique brand of insanity.

Those swinging hepcats!

The Platters had a brawl with Freddie Bell And The Bellboys - a flick comb was involved

Best O' Glasto on BBC2

I assume this thread can wander into Netflix territory.... A word of warning on the Hendrix biopic on Netflix, it's just awful. Avoid if you don't want to waste 2 hours of your life.

That said, Paul Greengrass (Bourne movie director) is said to be working on a bigger budget Hendrix biopic for 2016.

Didn't know that was on Netflix. How come it sucks so much?

Anything else in there that deserves a mention on this thread? Looked a while ago and saw nothing.

Skid X · 04-07-2015 11:49AM

Good idea, this is on Netflix (UK & Ireland) it's about Backing Singers. I haven't seen it but it has decent reviews, I might give it a go

Ol' Donie · 04-07-2015 11:56AM

Now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure Cadillac Records (the film about Chess Records with Adrian Brody and Beyonce) is on Netflix.

I quite enjoyed it.

In terms of production, there wasn't really a beginning or an end, just seemed to leap into everything without building up the characters etc.

It jumped from scene to scene and didn't really mesh as a movie. Pretty bad acting, but Andre 3000 from outkast did a pretty good job as jimi. Oh, and if you actually like his music then you will be disappointed that there are zero Hendrix songs on it. They couldn't get the licence to use his songs.

Yeah Iv heard good things about this too

Welsh Megaman · 04-07-2015 09:46PM

Strange seeing Philip King for the first time, after hearing his voice for so long.

Not how I pictured him

Welsh Megaman · 04-07-2015 09:55PM

The devil's music...in a place of worship!

It's a disgrace, Joe!

Skid X · 04-07-2015 10:01PM

This was my favourite Amy Winehouse Popworld video.

Support Amy Winehouse!

Welsh Megaman · 04-07-2015 10:02PM

Good show, 'The South Wind Blows' - just finished!

Will listen back tomorrow

efb · 04-07-2015 10:02PM

Amy did look like a fierce skank, great voice though

Welsh Megaman · 04-07-2015 10:06PM

Speaking of UK soul singers, whatever happened to Shara Nelson?

The voice of Massive Attack's 'Unfinished Sympathy' - was just thinking about it this morning.

She actually looked attractive when she had a bit more weight on her :O

I've never spent any time thinking of her, who is she?

I'd say she was the female equivalent of Russell Brand- riddled

Blooming heck, this doesn't make good reading at all. Hope she gets/got help. Didn't know she wrote the lyrics to Unfinished Sympathy.

She had a few solo albums too in the mid 90's

Oh right ted,

Welsh Megaman · 04-07-2015 10:18PM

I assume Amy is referring to Thelonious Monk, and not Monk the TV detective with OCD

Welsh Megaman · 04-07-2015 10:20PM

'Shake Your Tailfeather' or GTFO!

Kidding!

Skid X · 04-07-2015 10:21PM

That Massive Attack Blue Lines album is a stonker.

It wouldn't be my usual type of music, but excellence always transcends subjectivity, or something.

Eng Wimminz winning on BBC3 against the krauts

Skid X · 04-07-2015 10:27PM

Amy's enthusiasm for music is brilliant. Talking about what she likes because she wants to, not to plug her own records.
