[kj] OT: the Skids

[Rob]

when I arrived in UK from Aussie, worked in Palms Rest. in Kensington and
Jobson walked in one night and was shepherded to a good table by the bird on
reception, I was asked to look after the table and I made a comment like
'ooh my first star', he looked at me with a 'who's this sarky Oz tw*t c*nt?'
but I was a fan having seen the Skids in Oxford Apollo around '81 - agreed
the first album is a good one..........

no, now he is a film director. Has a new film out, something about 15 years
of alcholism which has had good reviews.
at least he is no longer a 'male model'.
Castles in Spain by the Armoury Show is worth checking out. Unless my memory
deceives me it also features the late John Mcgough (i know that's not how
you spell his name, but i've had a lot to drink. On a school night as well).
 
Who dares gins!

There are two best of CDs. I think the better of the two is called "The Very
Best of The Skids". Its got all the faves plus their version of "All The
Young Dudes" and a one of my faves "Hymns >From A Haunted Ballroom".
 
Richard Jobson became a presenter on Scottish TV many years ago, and I think
he still is.

There's a Skids "best of" CD that has a large number of tracks from their
two albums.  Its all good stuff.  I think this best of cd is even budget
priced (I paid around $12.00 dollars for it).  Pick it up.  It's worth a
listen.

Off topic for a tic....

Just was wondering what the Gathering thought of Scotland's SKIDS 
(featuring future-Big Country gent, Stuart Adamson on 
bagpi...er...guitar). I've never owned any of their albums, but the 
clutch of singles I've heard always sounded promising. I *LOVE* the 
production on "Into the Valley"...just got a really chugging, meaty 
guitar sound. Are they worth seeking out full albums by, or should I 
just stick with the odd singles I know?

Just a-wonderin'.
