I've been meaning to challenge you on this, Alan. Who doesn't love a Sousa march? Especially any lover of football. Lay on us your favorite(s) marches!!!! It's especially great music to warm us up for Sunday's game.Every Saturday and Sunday morning my Dad would get up and put a John Philip Sousa record on and we'd listen to marching music for about an hour. Everyone in the house would find themselves marching around the house. You'd notice you were doing it and you'd stop but 10 minutes later you'd be marching again. Plus, you couldn't just sit around the house and relax. You had to get up and do something.
So one Sunday my Dad gets up and puts the record on our "stereo console" and it failed to work. Wouldn't even turn on. Thus began my love of electronics and all things having to do with fixing electrical/electronic problems. Plus causing them of course. My mother, my brother and both my sisters treated me like a king for the rest of the day.CodeMonkey asking for the moon:

Some of my all time favourite local bands, you've probably heard of some of them, they're all pretty big:

(pretty much the same band as above, one of the above committed suicide, and was replaced forming this band)

And I went to school with this guy, so whilst not a fan I've got to mention them in local bands:

played some gig with them as a kid - there was this ska band thing going and I was in this band back in 94 or so, and we played this weird stuff like funk, punk, fusion shite that didn't make any sense, we had been called Rumpleforeskin that's how lame it truly was but there was a gig that played in Seal Beach, bands like the Ziggins, etc... crazy times. There were some chicks i knew (or wanted to know better) who all knew the sublime lead singer. He was one of the most talented dudes ever i heard.
NICE - so crazy you mentioned the Charlatans UK - I have to meet Tim Burgess in LA next month and will be working on a project with him. My producer buddy knows a ex-soccer hooligan turned producer who is good friends with him
Try and get a picture of him in a Rams hat!
