Nominations for favourite clips from last Friday:


• Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill
• Mumford & Sons - Little Lion Heart
• Joanna Newsom - '81
• Rokia Traore - Zen
• Decemberists - The Rake's Song
• Free - My Brother Jake
• Faces - Stay with me (4)
• Neil Young - Rockin' in the free world (3)
• Tom Waits - Tom Traubert's Blues
• Damien Rice - Cannonball
• Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower
• Stereophonics - Don't let me down
• Nirvana - Where did you sleep last night?
• Small Faces - Tin Soldier

The Faces and Neil Young were the only ones with multiple nominations - although CK hasn't cast his yet - although we know his Bobness will be on his list for sure.

As regards connections (other than the obvious ones listed in previous postings), I've come up with the following:

1. Laura Marling and Marcus Mumford are "an item"
2. Chas Chandler of the Animals went on to manage Jimi Hendrix
3. One of the favourites in the early Animals' set list was John Lee Hooker's "Boom, Boom"
4. Richard Wright of Pink Floyd appeared as a hired hand on Dave Gilmour's solo version of "Time"
5. Dean Fertita of QotSA plays with Dead Weather (thanks to Dave for this one - I missed it)
6. As well as appearing at IoW in 1970, that was also the year that Jimi died, which leads me neatly on to the other accidental theme - death.

Apart from those in the Obituary section, the following artistes shown last Friday are now dead:

• Brian Jones (Stones)
• Lee Brilleaux (Dr Feelgood)
• Bon Scott (AC/DC)
• John Bonham (LZ)
• Alex Harvey
• Clifford T. Ward
• Billy Preston
• Miles Davis
• Hilton Valentine (Animals)
• Chas Chandler (Animals)
• John Lee Hooker
• Dusty Springfield
• Steve Marriott (Small Faces)
• Ronnie Lane (Small Faces & Faces)
• George Harrison (Fab 4)
• Keith Moon (Who)
• John Entwistle (Who)
• Paul Kossoff (Free)

I may have missed some - please feel free to add any others.

There was one more hidden theme - re-formed bands - I can think of three:

1. Pixies
2. Steve Miller Band
3. SAHB (without Alex!)

That's it for now - next headbang scheduled for 11th March.
