I just found out that Kevin "Geordie" Walker, guitarist for Killing Joke, has permanently put down his guitar. I'm well over a week late to this news so this is my tip of the hat to Walker's passing.
"Born in County Durham in 1958 and schooled in Buckinghamshire, where he acquired his “Geordie” nickname, Walker initially responded to an ad Coleman had placed in the music press. “This guy kept calling saying ‘Hi, I’ve never been in a band before, I’ve only ever played in my mum’s bedroom, but I’m the best guitarist ever’,” Coleman later said. “I couldn’t get rid of him … He comes in for a cuppa and spots my fishing rods, so we have a conversation about fishing for six hours. After which he announced that he had nowhere to live so I said he could stay with me. Geordie moved in three weeks before I actually heard him play. When he did it was like a fire from heaven.”
....
"Walker situated his sound around a Gibson ES-295 hollow body electric guitar, saying: “When you find something that you express yourself through the best – something that is completely your sound – why would you use anything else?”
....
"Other admirers included Metallica, who covered The Wait; Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, who called Walker’s guitar sound “really, really strong … really intense”; and Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, who cited Walker as a key influence in a 2013 Guardian interview, heralding “this effortless playing producing a monstrous sound”.

Rolling Stone Magazine Top 200 Singers - The Omissions List
Once in awhile, I’ll do a music themed blog post and boy do I have a post for you. Rolling Stone Magazine opens 2023 with a list that no one asked for. Their 200 Singers list is an all time low for the once flourishing magazine. When you include auto-tuned singers like Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Ariana Grande, Lana Del Ray and dull as dishwater singers (again, my opinion) like Morrissey, Courtney Love, Michael Stipe, Bono, Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder, you lose credibility in my book. Here are the singers of different backgrounds, genres, and vocalizations (in alphabetical order) that Rolling Stone failed to include on their inept list:
Jon Anderson
Julie Andrews
Paul Anka
Tina Arena
Charles Aznavour
Michael Ball
Jimmy Barnes
The Bee Gees (Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb)
Pat Benatar
Tony Bennett
Andrea Bocelli
Jay Black
Colin Blunstone
Michael Bolton

Throwback Thursday (Friday edition) #51!- Dumptruck- Terminal (2000- Devil in the Woods)
I suppose for this TT (special Friday edition) i could have written about any of the Dumptruck records. 1986’s Positively was my introduction to the band (then i went back and listened to their fine debut, D is for Dumptruck) and the 1987’s For the Country was a truly beautiful record and my favorite of their 80’s run.
You didn’t hear much from the band in the 90’s (only 1995’s Days of Fear) and then in 2000, the D.I.T.W. label released the terrific Terminal. By this point, co-leader Kirk Swan had left the band (though he does guest on this record) and vocalist /guitarist Seth Tiven, who had by now moved to Austin, TX, took over the main songwriting role.
The record opens with four fantastic songs in the wired/wiry opener “Forever,” the title track (to which Swan adds harmony vocals), “Long Ride” (with Ian McLagan on Hammond organ…he’s on a few other songs on this record as well) and the moody/hooky “One Foot Out The Door.” The rhythm section of George Duron on drums and Jeff Farris on bass are pure powerhouse and other guitarist Alan Durham adds tasty licks as well.
Elsewhere, “Daylight Falls” is moodier/prettier, but still packs a righteous punch while “Entertainment” has more of those great snakey, guitar lines, and “Evening of Fun” is a swaying waltz (with McLagan on organ again, and Jimmy Ryan on mandolin).
If you’ve missed this the first time around it’s definitely worth your time and if it’s an old fave, well, give it a spin today! (and don’t miss their most recent record, 2018’s Wrecked).
