I just wanted to say that I saw Kind Of Like Spitting live, and it Kind Of Like SUCKED.

Luna Park, and I do believe that's Sydney, with you flying the ol' Ozzie flag. Why this should be on it, I don't know, but it's very purty with all those lights shining on the water. The big face is just insane.

I can only recall the front of that record, but the original Luna Park was in Coney Island (NYC)-- pretty lights shining onj the water sounds about right.

I can't recall the album, but if it is Luna Park it could also be in the Melbourne beach side suburb of St Kilda (we have two Luna Parks).

Shouldn't the plural be Lunae Parks?

Looks like Sydney to me.

It's probably Luna Park. It gets name checked on one of that albums many classics, You Cant Be Too Strong.

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Wed Jun 09, 2004 7:06 pm

It's certainly Luna Park, you can read it. That ain't Google, that's my shelf, it's legit! Question is, which one!!! Bamboo has gone to bed...

In which case, Bamboo must be a shift worker... it is 10:26am here in Sydney!

bambooneedle · Post by **bambooneedle** » Thu Jun 10, 2004 1:03 am

Not a shift worker, just a powernapping night owl. At 10.26am I wasn't near a computer, just got home from work now and will have another soon.

The fun park pictured is definitely Luna Park in Sydney. I worked right behind it for several months but it was closed down at the time. I took a great picture of the harbour with LP in the corner, which I'll hopefully find and post here. Good one Otis, over to you.

I used to live almost behind it in Cliff Street - between what was then the SBS studios and the Kirribilli RSL.

I worked at a Milson's Point high rise construction site, from where I took the pic, High Street.

Oh the relief!

So, continuing the Bowie theme: on Hunky Dory, Bowie plays 'the less complicated piano-parts'. Who is playing the more complicated ones?

PS I won't be here for another 12 hours, so if you're sure of the answer, feel free to ask a new one.

I'm quite sure it was Keith Emerson.

selfmademug · Post by **selfmademug** » Thu Jun 10, 2004 5:36 pm

No, wait, it was Billy Preston, right?

Or of course it might have been Rick Wakeman...

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Thu Jun 10, 2004 7:06 pm

At last! Actually, on the sleeve it says 'Richard Wakeman', but I guess we'll let you have the point. Your turn...

selfmademug · Post by **selfmademug** » Thu Jun 10, 2004 7:19 pm

Well, you are all well beyond kind. *blush*

I wish I had a less lame question to offer!! I was trying to do something about Duane Allman and Aretha Franklin but I'm too braindead...

So instead you shall have this: name the obvious connection between Suzanne Vega and "Seinfeld".

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Thu Jun 10, 2004 7:23 pm

Er, is it that Tom's Diner (the same one, a real place, or just 'a' Tom's Diner) appears in it?

selfmademug · Post by **selfmademug** » Thu Jun 10, 2004 7:32 pm

Oh for chrissakes, you could've prenteded to've needed a minute!!

Yes, correct. I thought you hated Seinfeld??

wehitandrun · Post by **wehitandrun** » Thu Jun 10, 2004 7:37 pm

Hating Seinfeld is illegal.
