Saturday Matinee – Messer Chups, Kevin Ayers w/ Ollie Halsall, & Bob

From St. Petersburg, Russia, Messer Chups is listed under vampire space zombie surf rock.
Oleg Gitaracula – guitar

Rockin Eugene – Drums

Kevin Ayers with Ollie Halsall, 1981 Barcelona. Nice groove, too bad he had to sing. British rock journalist Nick Kent once wrote: “Kevin Ayers and Syd Barrett were the two most important people in British pop music. Everything that came after came from them.”

Idiot Wind is a Bob Dylan classic, pretty much my favorite, and it doesn’t have to do with weather, even though it’s blowing like hell around these parts.

That’ll do for now. See you tomorrow if we don’t get blown away.
