To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot...
Reminds me of this one
Written by Shel Silverstein... as was this:
Always thought Johnny Cash had written it. Looked him up on Wiki - seems he also wrote 'The Ballad of Lucy Jordan' which sounds quite good today but I don't think I particularly liked back when it was in the charts.
This is a song that I am currently learning to play - I am not sure what the person who chose to try to sing this was thinking.
Saw a Frank Zappa documentary the other day. A song called 'Trouble Comin' Every Day' was mentioned (got them a record deal apparently). Don't remember hearing it before but it is as good a Zappa song as I have heard.
One hell of an album, was Freak Out! But my favourite Zappa album is probably Apostrophe'...
Only know Cosmik Debris from that album. Think I alreday posted the song on here.
Had a bit of a discussion the other day about whether Blockbuster by the Sweet is the same riff as Jean Genie by David Bowie (music plagiarism has been in the news lately). I can't tell, and there are differing opinions on how to play the Sweet riff.

I reckon that riff goes back further than either of them.

Yes, it is supposedly based on 'I'm A Man', although that is in G rather than E.
I'm a Man → Bo Diddley → Who Do You Love → George Thorogood & The Destroyers...
Second only to Quicksilver's 25 minute live version on their Happy Trails album.
Started thinking of this one while listening to Kris Kristofferson
Over the last week or so I have been trying to think of a song by the Smiths that reminded me of an Elvis song. I worked out which song it was yesterday. Unfortunately this now ties in with todays announcement of the death of the Smiths bass player, Andy Rourke.
Acoustic guitar sounds similar to His Latest Flame.
Heard this for the first time yesterday. Sounds strangely familiar. Apparently Robert Plant was a fan.
Good band, the Small Faces! Best album: Ogden's Nut Gone Flake
Watched the Manics at Glastonbury the other day and discovered another great song by them.
Currently playing chez Cody...
Dry and sunny up here for the first time in weeks it seems. Definitely not hot. Lots of this recently...
Reminds me of Oasis this song.
Love that song!
