Music Video: The Walker Brothers at Millesgården (Martin Klasch)

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:44:00 GMT

The Walker Brothers - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore. The song and the group is great and the sound is OK but the video quality is pretty poor but I wanted to show it because it is shot over here - or rather at the Millesgården sculpture park on Lidingö, Stockholm, Sweden. The year was 1966. If you liked the music and if you didn't know it before you should check out Scott Walker...

I know about this because it rolled through Bolton (nearby to my birthplace). It happened. Anyway, Garland quips... "They were all very unlikely bedfellows. It was the opening night of the tour. Nothing out of the ordinary – except for...

The Last Shadow Puppets review: satisfied relief (The Telegraph)

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 00:01:00 GMT

It was clear the band weren't going to stint on recreating the opulent sound of their Mercury-nominated album 'The Age Of The Understatement'. The side project of Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner and his friend Miles Kane of the band The Rascals, connects their northern lyrical pith to '60s-flavoured sounds in the style of the Walker Brothers and John Barry film scores.

At the Astoria, he set fire to it as the astonished audience looked on and petrified venue staff ushered the performer off stage.

Betty Boop and Felix (Cartoon Brew)

Does anyone remember this short lived comic strip (1984-1988) by The Walker Brothers (Brian, Morgan, Greg, and Neal, the sons of Beetle Bailey’s Mort)? This was the height of Garfield’s popularity, and the thought of pairing these two classic, and essentially orphaned, properties must have been intriguing to King Featuures.

Tonite It Shows (That I Have No Idea What to Call This Playlist) (Kofi's hat)

Thu, 08 May 2008 04:19:00 GMT

"After the Lights Go Out", the second song on the playlist, by the Walker Brothers, sounds like a playlist title. Unfortunately, as a playlist title, it doesn't fit this playlist at all. I very briefly considered the name Music For After the Lights Go Out until realizing how much more misleading it would be. These songs are swell, really; their titles just don't work for my grab 'n' go...

There’s a retro ’70s haze surrounding the soulful funk of Shadow of Death Hotel , which could well have worked...

Together, Turner and Kane are The Last Shadow Puppets, and they sound a bit like the Walker Brothers crossed with Arthur Lee's Love. Only, you know, good....

Five unnecessary letters: "Sandro Mazzola and Luis Suarez were lifting their second European Cup in the San Siro, Milan?" repeats an incredulous Ryan Anderton. "Ah, yes, that San Siro. For a second I thought you were talking about the San Siro, Stalybridge. Still, to manage to link this to two Walker Brothers songs is impressive." Others would say tenuous and convoluted, but thanks all...
