New interview the BBC did with The Real People after the reunion announcement and they're talking about Liam's star quality again:

It was the early hours of the morning, but the bar of the Columbia hotel in London's Lancaster Gate was packed with musicians who were in the capital for gigs, or just hanging out at what had become the go-to haunt for artists and performers in the early 1990s.

Then, like a scene from a western, the noise gave way to a hush, then a near silence, and all eyes turned towards the door.

Ian Prowse, who at that time was in the signed Liverpool band Pele, was among the drinkers, and he too angled his gaze to see who or what had brought everything to a standstill.

"This guy had walked in, and there was just something about him, an aura, some sort of magic," he says.

Behind the enigmatic young man swaggering his way into the bar was Tony Griffiths, one of the two brothers who were the creative engine of the Liverpool band The Real People.

Prowse caught up with The Real People's bass player and singer and asked him who the guy was, and was told it was "his mate Liam".

At this point, the name Liam Gallagher meant little to most people, but to Tony Griffiths, he and his band were going to be "the biggest thing ever".

"This was a few months before they had anything out," says Prowse. "They were unknown. But he was able to just walk into a packed bar at four o'clock in the morning and turn heads."

Liam Gallagher’s charisma had made an impression, but Prowse was yet to hear the fledgling band's sound. When he returned home to Liverpool, he asked his agent – whom his band shared with Oasis – to let him listen to something by this new group.

"He played me this track," he says, "and I just thought, 'Whatever we're doing, it's not this'. It just wasn't capturing the zeitgeist the way this was."

The recording he'd heard was Supersonic, which was written and recorded in one day in December 1993 at the Pink Museum Studio in Lark Lane, Liverpool, with The Real People's Tony Griffiths on backing vocals.

According to former Oasis drummer Tony McCarroll's 2010 book The Truth, Tony and his brother Chris were "integral" to the creation of the song, which would be released in April the following year to huge acclaim.

Oasis, which consisted of Noel and Liam Gallagher, McCarroll, Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs and Paul 'Guigsy' McGuigan, were at that time as much a Liverpool band as a Manchester band, cutting their teeth at venues such as Le Bateau and The Krazy House, where they supported The Real People.

It was striking the relationship with The Real People that put Oasis on the road to stardom.

'Your kid's a star'

The Real People had been around since 1987, and by 1989 were signed to Columbia Records. Soon afterwards they sold 100,000 copies of their eponymous album, whose shuffling drums, overdriven guitars and Beatle-esque harmonies won them an international following.

By contrast, Liam Gallagher was still at school and Noel was yet to pen the soaring sentiments of Live Forever in the warehouse in which he had a decidedly un-rock 'n' roll job as a British Gas sub-contractor.

Chris and Tony would meet the Gallagher brothers in 1992, while The Real People were on tour with the Inspiral Carpets, for whom Noel was a roadie.

"I would always take my own Pot Noodles with me on tour and he'd come over and be after one, so that’s how we struck up conversation," says Chris Griffiths.

"But when we met Liam, we were saying to Noel, 'Your kid's a star, he is'. And this is before we'd even heard him sing.

[...]

For Griffiths, their success was as much down to Liam's star quality as the music or musicianship.

"Noel was a good musician, but he was no [Ocean Colour Scene lead guitarist] Steve Craddock. A lot of it was down to Liam, his attitude and his voice.

November 12th 1932 saw the death of Dugald Clerk inventor of the two stroke engine.

Born in Glasgow on 31st March 1854. After completing his workshop training he spent four years studying, especially Physics and Chemistry, at the Andersonian College, Glasgow, and the Yorkshire College of Science, Leeds. Returning to Glasgow, he joined Messrs Thomson, Sterne & Co., and in 1877 began to devote himself to the development of the gas engine. 

It is interesting to recall that the fourstroke cycle Otto engine had been exhibited for the first time at the Paris Exposition in 1878. Clerk, realising the disadvantages of having only one working stroke in four, set to work to design a gas engine operating on a two-stroke cycle; his first engine working on this cycle made its appearance in 1881, and eventually many hundreds of this type were placed on the market. 

From this period right up to the time of his death Clerk devoted most of his work to the practical development of the internal combustion engine and to researches on the specific heat of gases and on explosion pressures. His researches had great influence on modern advance in the science of thermodynamics. For these researches, which had placed him in the front rank of scientific investigators in the field of applied science, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1908; in 1924 he was awarded the Royal Medal of the Society. He received honorary degrees from the Universities of Glasgow, St Andrews, Leeds, Liverpool, and Manchester. 

In 1932 he was elected President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, the highest professional distinction to which an engineer can attain; unfortunately ill-health prevented him from taking office. He had already in 1917 been created K.B.E.

On the outbreak of war in 1914, though by that time in his sixtieth year, he placed his exceptional talents in research at the disposal of the Government; he became Director of Engineering Research at the Admiralty, President of the Internal Combustion Engine Committee at the Air Ministry, and was a member of Committees in other fields of research. 

He took great interest in the development of the motor vehicle, and did much important work in this branch of Mechanical Engineering.

For many years he was in partnership with Lord Marks as a consulting engineer and patent agent, and no other engineer was so frequently called upon for service as expert witness in patent cases. 

As a member of the University Grants Committee, Clerk took a very real and keen interest in the teaching of Pure and Applied Science in the Universities, and University Engineering departments always benefited by the wise and sound advice he gave to the staff on the occasion of official visits. 

He was elected a Fellow of the Society in 1922.

Dugald ClerK died in Ewhurst, Surrey on 12 November 1932 aged 72 years.

On this day, 4 July 1981 was the heaviest night of rioting in Toxteth, Liverpool, which began when police tried to arrest a young Black man, who was subsequently rescued by a crowd. Both white and Black people had then begun to fight back against the police. Martin Kettle and Lucy Hodges described what happened in their book, Uprising!: "Rioters commandeered milk floats, a stolen fire engine and a cement mixer and drove them straight into police lines. They were armed with every conceivable weapon, including lengths of scaffolding which they thrust at the riot shields like medieval knights... At one point they managed to seize a fire hose which the police had been using on them and turn it on the officers. Faced with this attack, the police had no alternative but to retreat, leaving behind them a no-go area open to a crowd of jubilant looters". Several buildings were burned down, including a bank and a private members' club, and there was widespread looting. The Guardian newspaper reported that middle-aged women, white and Black queued up with shopping trolleys to expropriate goods from supermarkets. Police resorted to the use of CS gas for the first time in mainland Britain, firing door-piercing rounds at protesters, which seriously injured at least two people. That summer, rioting occurred in cities across England, largely provoked by police aggression, particular against young Black people. * If you value our social media posts, you should definitely listen to our podcast!

small batch of modern day dad silco hcs for father's day

Silco doesn't eat breakfast so Jinx will sleep in like a usual sunday but there's a handmade card waiting for him by the coffee pot when he wakes up

when she does get up, she sneak attacks him with a hug and yells "HAPPY DAD DAY, DAD!"

she's been doing it for years so it's become a game of trying to outsmart the other

he opens gifts while she munches on cereal, this year's gifts include:

a handmade keychain of a shark

a complete tune up she did on his '60 Electra while he was at work

"What happened to not touching the car when I'm not home?" "Oh please, you know that I know that car better than you do."

and a vintage Liverpool football (soccer) jersey... that game tickets fall out of

that makes him a bit speechless, "Jinx, how did you... what?" "That one I teamed up with Sevika on. It's for your business trip this summer that I'm tagging along on. Managed to snag box seats." he does not cry

watching premier league football together has been their thing, Silco arranges his schedule around games and totally didn't pull Jinx out of school to watch Liverpool in the championship

when he composes himself she dangles the keys in his face, "So what do you say we take the lady out for a spin and I treat you to brunch?" "You literally just finished eating." "Yes, and? Go get dressed old man!"

they take the long way to brunch and he wastes about $10 in gas revving the engine while Jinx laughs

shoutout to @sweatandwoe for when we gushed about him and jinx being soccer fans
