@voodoo https://www.distractify.com/p/is-glee-cursed actually the one I thought was in prison killed himself too
Also, have you watched glee yourself? I recall there being some "adult" themes, depending on her age might be a bit inappropriate, losing virginity stuff, drugs maybe...
That's terrible!
Yeah have watched a few, she's a pretty mature 11 so happy enough for her to watch

Probably the most un-cool thing I've posted, but I'm listening to a selection of Carpenters' songs.
I can't be the only one who thinks Karen Carpenter's voice is hugely underrated and up there with the very best.

That's the song which grabbed me. Amazing singing - so controlled and emotive.

She does do a nice job. Song is actually titled “Groupie (Superstar)” and written (and orig recorded) by Bonnie Bramlett. At one time Delaney & Bonnie and Friends were just about the hottest live act going. Clapton took them touring in support of Blind Faith, and Bonnie & Delaney blew them off stage every night, so much so that Clapton joined them. Sadly the band was cannibalized by Joe Cocker (the song is performed by, I think, Rita Coolidge on the live “Mad Dogs and Englishmen” double-LP), Leon Russell, George Harrison and Little Feat. So Bonnie & Delaney are now obscure footnotes. Bonnie now probably best remembered for punching-out Elvis Costello after he called James Brown and Ray Charles the n-word, tsk-tsk, as well as her role on the Rosanne Barr tv sitcom.
Here she is, briefly, in “Vanishing Point”:
-
If I’m not mistaken, I seem to recall Karen destroyed John Bonham in Playboy magazine readers poll for “Best Drummer.” Twice.
-
@kid-chocolate Delaney and Bonnie had a #1 in NZ with Never Ending Song of Love in 71 It was in the charts for 15 weeks, three of them at 1.

While painting the house on a lovely still Wellington day over the weekend I listened to the first two Stone Temple Pilots albums in their entirety. Thanks YouTube.
They were never as revered as Nirvana and Scott Weiland did sound a bit like Eddie Vedder but fuck all that, they were a MUCH better band than either of them in my ( possibly unpopular ) opinion. It was great hearing a couple of album tracks I hadn’t heard since I had these on CD many years ago as well as the bangers everyone knows.

@mn5 I think you are literally the only muso I know who really digs STP & would put them above PJ.
Most people think they are a bit of a rip off of other music from that era.
I dig them as well though, they have some banging' tunes in their back catalogue.
I'd still choose Pearl Jam over them though.
