Let's spread some musical misinformation

[1bassleft]

*Not misinformation alert*
A ban on travelling back for pre-CBS instruments has been in place since the Parts And Replacements IS ok (or PARIS) agreement. The President thought the Paris Agreement was unfair (on the basis that the USA had made these Fenders and Gibsons in the first place, tbf) and will pull out next year. This will not, as some fear, unleash a heap of NOS mo'mojo instruments onto the market depressing prices.

How do I know? Because of my time on The Vintage Amps Forum, where cork-sniffing time-travellers have used the Paris Agreement loophole to buy every Mullard xf2 EL34 from all 60s electrical repair shops at 2 shillings and sixpence to sell them in the mid-2000s at $150 each because they make you sound just like Jimi, apparently.

After Hick-Hop, I guess the only things left are Big Barned and Sleazy Listening.

Correction: Proving that time travel was/will be common amongst musicians well after 2000, after Nespresso had been invented.

Verb tense can be difficult/confusing once time travel is involved.

In the future past tense I will have freaked out by now, but not yet.

Don't forget, felonious, that hick-hop was a follow-through from outhouse music started in rural Illinois.

Douglas Adams mentions this, but help is at hand:

"The major problem is simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveler's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations. It will tell you, for instance, how to describe something that was about to happen to you in the past before you avoided it by time-jumping forward two days in order to avoid it. The event will be descibed differently according to whether you are talking about it from the standpoint of your own natural time, from a time in the further future, or a time in the further past and is futher complicated by the possibility of conducting conversations while you are actually traveling from one time to another with the intention of becoming your own mother or father.

Most readers get as far as the Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional before giving up; and in fact in later editions of the book all pages beyond this point have been left blank to save on printing costs."

Excuse me but I had a band called Sleazy Listening. We released a vinyl LP which we recorded in Nashville in 1959. This is now a valuable collectors item. I have a large number of these should anyone be interested. The band broke up shortly after when the drummer had an unfortunate encounter with Buddy Rich, when they were both auditioning for the Monkees.

 

[nitrobrother]

Didn't your drummer later on move to Spinal Tap?

 

[Jay2U]

The band Spinal Tap really existed. They started out in 1984. During their 1986 European tour, they got a dispute about the guitar amp being cranked up to 11 all the time. This lead to the band breaking up in January 1987. Their last song was called Final Tab.

 

[NZBassman]

In 2010 Spinal Taps lead singer began contacting the other members of the band in attempt to start a band reunion... but he was disappointed to find out all of them had died in unfortunate gardening accidents - except the bass player, who unfortunately had a heart attack while trying to break the record of eating 150 ghost pepper chicken wings

More pedantically, Derek Smalls accepted Sean Evans' invitation to appear on Youtube's Hot Ones but the ghost pepper wings heightened his core body temperature from tepid water to nice hot bath. David St Hubbins and Nigel Tufnel agreed, for once (Jeanine's charts had their usual malign influence), that Smalls could no longer act as the intermediary to their fire and ice, letting him go.

Some say Smalls died of a broken heart but this is Cockney rhyming slang for a massive, involuntary gaseous emission (caused by the hot wings). St Hubbins and Tufnel planned to release a tribute album, Smell the Broken Heart, but this was canned over the controversial cover art of Smalls' posthumous anus.

That whole thing REEKS of conspiracy!

Reeks was a punk band also managed by Ian Faith

Game of Thrones (a tale of Fire and Ice) is simply a well-disguised allegory of Spinal Tap and touring.

When she took this picture of her daughter amusing herself in the park, Mrs Styrene had no idea that little Poly's innocent ditty "Oh Bondage, Up Yours!" would have such an impact on London's punk scene.

P.S. John Lennon loved flanging on his vocals right from when he was a little girl called June

More picture news, Asdfgh. Peter Hook and Jimmy Somerville found work with Joy Division and Bronski Beat, respectively, but they failed to impress earlier when auditioning for The Thompson Twins.

 

[PillO]

Unlike the Doobie Brothers, the Thompson Twins were actually twins.

True but their name isn't Thompson, their real name is Lipschutz
