Is it That'll be the Day and Stardust? And David Essex? Although he wasn't really a 50s/60s star, more 70's/80's.

Congratulations, Otis, I look forward to seeing your question.

You mean I actually got something right? Well I'm sure Gilli will be happy with official Foylean confirmation, so:

Which musician connects two of my musical heroes: 'Green' Gartside, aka Scritti Politti and Lloyd Cole? No cheating on Google now, that's no fun...

martinfoyle · Post by **martinfoyle** » Thu May 06, 2004 6:49 pm

Without googling, I don't have a clue. This will take a while, I think.

Will supply clues Friday evening if necessary!

OTIS: Nope - sorry you got it wrong - it was Eric Clapton

Only kidding - yep you were right - and I approve of you in every way Otis!!

Did they both start on the Postcard label?

A total guess. I'm desparate for points.

Blair Cowan ?

Dr J: lovely though it is to see you here after what appears to be an absence, and even lovelier to chuckle at the fact that you know my endless references to Postcard well enough to hazard that as a suitable guess, I have to be rude and tell you to read the bleedin' question! I'm after a musician, not a label.

Doofster: good try, but totally wrong. Not a Commotions person at all.

OK, let's get all the clues over at once. MF isn't allowed to answer cos he was too impatient to know it and went straight to Google and PMed me the correct result. I reckon he might have got it with these.

The person in question is a drummer. He did all the heavily treated stuff on the Scritti Cupid and Psyche stuff, and was a mainstay drummer with Lloyd on his early solo work. He's NY based and has played on at least one Lou Reed LP. I like because he seems to be incredibly diverse in terms of the sound and style according to the LP he's on.

Surely someone will nab this point?

Well excuuuuuuse meeeeeeeee!!!!!!

DrJ

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Fri May 07, 2004 1:34 pm

Excused.

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Fri May 07, 2004 7:48 pm

OK, it gets boring after while, I guess you're all out partying. Fred Maher.

New alternative: which musician links Station To Station with the E Street Band?

Now this you can get without looking up, for sure.

Don't Americans do trivia quizzes? Australians? Canadians? Argentinians?

Is it "the professor" Roy Bittan? Only cos you've mentioned a few times that he once played with Bowie. If I'm right, here's my question: Who was or were the first rock artist(s) to own and run their own major recording studio?

If it's not Bittan, is it Nils Lofgren?

DrJ · Post by **DrJ** » Sat May 08, 2004 3:39 am

Dang, I knew that. Bittan's on TVC 15.

Don't know the new one. The guess is Led Zepplin but it's probably earlier than that...

Well done, BBN!

bambooneedle · Post by **bambooneedle** » Sat May 08, 2004 5:46 am

Thanks Otis. You'd said he was on Be My Wife, so I started to have doubts.

The professor has an extensive sessionography, I recalled.

No. Clue: emphasis on MAJOR recording studio. Elvis has recorded there.

Jackson Monk · Post by **Jackson Monk** » Sat May 08, 2004 6:10 am

I'd go for the Funk Brothers.....if you'd call them 'rock'

bambooneedle · Post by **bambooneedle** » Sat May 08, 2004 6:11 am

No. The Rolling Stones have recorded there too.

martinfoyle · Post by **martinfoyle** » Sat May 08, 2004 6:57 am

Presley or Costello?
Is it Electric Ladyland?
