the most realistic part of scott pilgrim vs. the world was that the most loser-coded man can pull gorgeous girls as long as he plays bass.

The gentleman on the left of the image, Duke Bardwell (b. 1943), is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter who played bass in Elvis' touring band for 181 shows, including one live album, during 1974 and the early part of 1975. He was brought in to replace Emory Gordy, who in turn had replaced bass legend Jerry Scheff, who had departed the TCB Band following the Aloha From Hawaii broadcast in January 1973.

It wasn't always an easy fit. Elvis' temper was a little erratic during 1974, and Duke felt, probably with some justification, that he was sometimes singled out unfairly during some of the onstage banter and general fooling around, which seemed to be a little edgier and less good-natured than usual, and included the occasional water fight.

At one point, Elvis expressed interest in recording one of Duke's original songs, You and I, however this never eventuated owing to Colonel Parker's usual practice of trying to squeeze songwriters out of their rightful publishing percentages.

Duke played on the Elvis Recorded Live Onstage in Memphis album in 1974, and recalled that the band had no prior warning that they would be recording, and at the last moment were required to sign contract waivers excluding themselves from any album royalties.

He worked on the Today album sessions in early 1975, and in Las Vegas, but departed before the first road tour of that year in not entirely happy circumstances. By the time Today was released in May, Duke's bass work had been removed and remained only on the first single, T-R-O-U-B-L-E.

Here's a great live version of Promised Land from Las Vegas in March, 1975, featuring Duke Bardwell on bass;

today I got a copy of Sonic Youth's Goo (on vinyl (!!) it wasn't even that expensive I love indie record stores), which is a fricken fantastic Sonic Youth album, Kool Thing is just so incredibly badass (though it has a weird video, like music videos are weird but it's unsettling that one). Kim Gordon is, of course, an icon among women musicians, and one of those amazing bass players who just get to slide around up and down strings and play root notes and that's all that's needed for the song and it's so cool and very garage/garbage rock.

Krist Novoselic is another one of those bass players. sort of endearingly useless (near the end of their set at the reading festival he's just walking around the stage with his bass practically at his knees not even playing. also that moment when he threw his bass in the air and then it knocked him out on the way down) - but his shirt in the above photo also introduced me to sonic youth.

i had a brief grunge thing going a few years ago which culminated in me deciding that Hole is far better than Nirvana, and that picture was in the back of a lot of the music magazines I was getting (Uncut from the Uk, better than Mojo), and I was like 'well if nirvana like them they should be pretty good'. i only listened to Teenage Riot for a while (Daydream Nation is also very very good) but they have a lot of albums.

some slightly lesser known (i think) tracks -

Death Valley 69 w/ Lydia Lunch

Winner's Blues (if anyone can think of what other song this song this sounds like that would be greatly appreciated I just can't place it)

Shadow of a Doubt

The Diamond Sea (19.47 long)

The Empty Page

Within You Without You (beatles cover)

And the album Murray St., which is pretty cool

Also, there is a NZ song called 'Point That Thing Somewhere Else' which reminds me of The Sprawl from Daydream Nation but was released like 6 years earlier

so yeah, thanks to Krist and his choice in t-shirts fo the recommendation :)

it's one some of my favourite album art, the 1966 hipsters combined with the comic-book style and the early 90s alt band angst and it;s just so cool
