Craig Sawyers Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 I thought that the Arkansas goat festival was a wind up - until I found that it is a serious event https://www.arkansasgoatfestival.com/ And yes - there is a "Goat Lingerie Show (Nannies at Night)" https://www.arkansasgoatfestival.com/schedule1 That is the single most weird event. Makes chilli pepper eating contests seem sane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Sawyers Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 I though - I must have seen Sabbath. In the early 70's we as a bunch of lads used to see bands at Newcastle (UK) City Hall - just a regular size city hall. Anyway you can easily find gig listings for that City Hall from that period. How about Elton John, Pink Floyd, Sabbath, Zep, ELP and many others. Ticket price? Well Elton John was quite expensive - 90p (so less that £1!) Most others were typically 60-70p. This was in the very early days of outdoor festivals. The first Woodstock was in 1969, and the first Isle of Wight festival was 1970 (and still has the record attendance of 750,000). So landmark bands played small venues and Universities. I saw AC/DC in the University dining room at Southampton! A golden age to see these bands close up. Ear bleedingly loud. Even at head banging 16 with my long centre parted hair and denims I used to shove cotton wool in my ears. Very weird back in the day, but at least my hearing is roughly intact. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Sawyers Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 Isle of Wight 1970 https://ultimateclassicrock.com/isle-of-wight-festival-1970/ I've walked across that area a couple of years ago - and it is just a peaceful field with fences, cows and sheep. Absolutely no evidence at all that this happened! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted 23 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 23 hours ago This is going to be a long walk. 4AD is a storied indie record label that released a ton of works by post-punk and indie rock artists in the 1980s. At that dawn of that decade they put out a bunch of releases by the Bauhaus, The The, Modern English, The Birthday Party and a host of other contemporaries of that era. I have a few 4AD Bauhaus records that I've owned for 35+ years. At one point in the late 80s, I had a The The T-shirt in spite of owning none of their music (I thought the name was funny.) Among the early 4AD releases is a one-off that is the only release by the band Rema-Rema while the band was active (there's a been a number since they broke up, but that's not really relevant.) Said release is an EP called Wheel In The Roses. I've heard it, but not any time recently. The EP's cover art has its own story at least as famous as the band. While not intentionally or historically so, the image has an enduring legacy due its homoeroticism. In the 90s I knew a gay house DJ who had a copy of the original 12" framed on his studio wall. The back story of the photo is wild and dark one. The subject of the photos is two wrestlers from the Nuba tribe in Africa. It was taken in 1948 by photojournalist George Rodger. Rodger took the photo on his tour of Africa. He set out on such a journey post-WWII to deal with the horrors he'd witnessed. His photos of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp were some of the first images of the holocaust that were seen internationally. Here's where the story goes off the rails. George Rodger's son is Peter, who is a successful documentary filmmaker. Peter's son, George's grandson is ...was, Elliot Rodger, the incel mass murder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago Long walk indeed. Love 4AD records since the early 80s. The Record Exchange and Tower Records in my home town and Rasputin and Tower and others in nearby Berkeley had a steady supply of all the best stuff.
