Boba's nodding for sure here...

17

Same idea as other day ..7's a lucky number so it'll be a better year -just needs positive action...My wee band used to cover this Love song back in in the days of grunge ...about 5 minutes ago at least in my mind.



Thee Tombs! Johnny Sid Steve & Paul! Prince been his usual Funky Bad Self. Jonnyboy-really needs a honoury H in name lol 1955 the year that punk broke, short lifespan... Fave 17 song ...real Johnny Zhivago style. When pretend Scally was all the rage Nice vid as ever Tym dude.
Some lovely lazy funk guitar amd check that typeset... Korean Punkas.. And from Japan BB17 Ol Blue Eyes makes me feel old and young that one. I dunno been too hard on yourself there Janis..but I think most real people can identify with lyrics.

80's freakfunk-. kinda Kevin Turvey the style here ..glad its Steve Wright and not that monster. Ithink thats 17 altogether but may as well see if Sesame Street did one too... I guess that's where Paul Hardcastle got the idea.

Final Playlist of 2016/First of 2017- I was going to post a "17" post but gotta find more songs -but hey this is awesome.. Could be the year MC5 enter the RNR Hall of fame-little brother band Stooges are up there so I don't see why not.. mind you Link Wrays also contending but at least Dennis and Wayne are still kicking would be cool if they got something. here's to 2017 may it at least be an improvement.

16

Sweet Sixteen Sheen by my mate Wayne -of my creation Louisa -I'm gonna make an effort at least at the script of The Deadly Sins in 2017 its a valid story -heroines are refugees of war.

 16 songs featuring  the number 16
A year dominated by the Great Pighead distraction ( Brick It !)and Tangoman been elected -hopefully he'll be un-elected come Jan 20th -otherwise 2017 will be a shitstorm and then some....No matter pretty song to take my mind off unforseen chaos that ensues

All the greats we lost this year -makes you wonder if "Death" is a hitman working for a higher illumati that wants to stamp out culture and replace it with junk. least Sixteens a cool # -confusing age but get through it if 21st Century was a living being better years ahead Older I'm meant to get more I stick to my guns kinda liked my later teens even though Ihad to deal with a shipload of grief-kind of remained in that state of mind whilst everyone else gets married and start listening to Adele or something better to be a teenage head . Pass the Dutchie..sound words. Sam !!! lol some Muppet Action classic Steel Guitar slays me here.. wish I had a beer to cry into. I like Jack always busy.
Featuring Carie Fisher I'LL post a tribute soon either here or on other blog... another casualty of a rough year :( Think this was before Star Wars Ringos version of song came out 73 although vid looks kinda 80's Two Buzzcock #'s A Blue Year =only right to finnish with BB. I saw a few good things over Christmas period this was one of them... doubt it'll be around forever so check iplayer if your in UK

A bit of everything ..the usual...just a tadge christmassy ...Merry Christmas !

"It's Away!"

Finally got to see Rogue One (it's only been out a few days but seems like a eternity trying to avoid spoilers )the movie did not dissapoint especially glad to see a few familiar pilots amongst the films climatic finale battle Red Leader been one a fine tribute to Drewe Henley who passed away earlier this year who played Red Leader and uttered those immortal lines durring the Battle of Yavin-it could of been so different -he was that close ... Why George cut this scene out I'll never know .. added more to the mystery of The Clone Wars at the time viewing which Red Leader had fought in .. it didn't really expose the fact of who Lukes Father really was..so was a bit confused as to why it ended up on editing floor along with "Bring My Shuttle!" It's strang as I was going to feature Red Leader and Porkins in the second part story I'm writing- Gold Leader also makes an appearence is this John D? remember his name appearing in the novel as a kid and was glad there were other John's out in space then again apparently red leaders nickname is "Dave "lol Good to see this mush again -seemed taller than I remember As well as seeing Rogue One I also got up to date with Rebels-I guess Wedge didn't show up in Rogue as he's kind of new to the Rebellion -strange seeing him in Imperial gear and black deffo suits Sabine Naturally this was the episode that intrigued me the most seeing as I'm writing a story about another Fenn although could be the same guy -perhaps Fenn is a title ? I look forward to the further episodes next year Killians great -he worked on Shadows of the Empire with John Wagner back in the 90's as well as the Jabba Tapes and various other Dark Horse Star Wars stories -as for Rogue One a thumbs up -similar in tone to ESB didn't play for laughs something the prequels suffered from-although Ithink humours important just prefer the Han Solo blend of humour to the Jar Jar kind Joan of Arc in a Galaxy Far Far Away.

"Where are You Taking this Thing!"

That's what I ask myself about Rogue One -which I've yet to see But one of the greatest  lines from Star Wars (can't call it a New Hope -saw it when that was called by it's proper name) uttered by the late great Malcom Tierney is he the very same guy who's in Rebels cartoon this dude ? -looks like Tom Baker (who was a good mucker of Malcolm's ) the facial expressions and nose but I like this guy -Brom Titus and Tom Baker's also in this episode too so great to hear his vox again .. I must catch up with all this only seen first episode may be a good thing I haven't seen Rogue yet as the episodes will eventually connect up with the events in that movie. so Ithink I'll have a Rebels marathon  binge watch  this weekend... Tagge , seems like Marvel have a thing for this dude  he evacuated off the Death Star in the new Vader series , whilst in the original his brother cyber disco king Baron Tagge and his cutie redhead  of a sister Domina was also after Lukes blood my Dad liked this scene he  recognised the actor who played Tagge, mind you  he'd call Jedi " Jedee !" he didn't uwar nderstand my obsession with these movies thought they were "Cat!" meaning nuts  but least he watched them and laughed at the right moments. nowadays parents get it -coz thats my generation any road so I'm stuck in that 77 of state of mind no time to grow up - odd really but I  find it odd to go against your dreams George Lucas was to go over to Vietnam to film the War also got a sense of this Apocalypse Now it's so strange that this movie became a form of (unintentionally) antidote or perhaps placebo is a better word to that war and Nixon- he and his kind have gotta be Palpatine , very similar name to Palatine in Taxi Driver- Attack of the Clones  also gave me  a sense of this about Afghanisthan and Iraq the way the battle scenes with the clones were created it's the best of the prequels in my mind. although there is a real stinker scene involving a cgi cow thing lol on Naboo  -Couple a decent fan films b4 I get to the Rouge stuff I'm trying to avoid spoilers - I hope this movie doesn't make me have to re-write "A Old Threat" which is set two years before Episode IV ( 18th birthday of Luke & Leia )as The Death Star, The Rebellion and Vader are featured heavilly in story-mind you I can write around anything and make it credible not that anyone gives a feck.http://hipsville365ad.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/the-mandalorian-seven-old-threat-part-1.html 
still its fun to write I plan to write alot next year ... anyway here's a nice Han Solo fan flick -the lighting is good I thought made guy who plays Solo more Harrisonesque.


make me look forward to the Solo movie Disney have planned if Lawerence Kasdems writing it's bound to be good .. rather be Solo than a do gooding Jedi type ... Hoth Stuff Star Wars Battle of the Planets Stylee could of done with this in the Early 80's Like I said avoiding spoilers I know Vades kicks ass from very crude clip on youtube thats about it - but reviews I've heard seem very favourable so it sound s like a winner... so heres all the clips from Rogue One .. hope theres Rogue 2 & 3 would like to see what excatly happened on Jakku does seem like The Empires Waterloo and Jyn should be at the heart of that. Felicty . Ghost Dog , Mads guy who plays Orson seems awesome -apparently Tarkins great -but surely you can't outdo Cushing? a must see.
