My Top 1000 Songs #198: Point That Thing Somewhere Else. Way back in 1981, New Zealand indie rockers the Clean splayed out a post-Velvets/Stooges extended vamp with a spooky groove, giving punk rockers license to become noisy-ass jam bands. #music #indierock #KiwiRock #TheClean #FlyingNun https://www.jitterywhiteguymusic.com/2023/02/my-top-1000-songs-198-point-that-thing.html

Alright!
He's a rebel, he's a guru, and he's a beatnik
He's a rebel, he's a traitor, and he's a beatnik
He's a runner, and he's in the race to be a beatnik
He's a mentor, and he's a traitor, and he's a beatnik
She's a pebble, he's the water, he's a beatnik
He's a preacher, he's a teacher, he's a beatnik
Come on! Alright!
1 2, 2 4, ma ma ma ma ma
Come on! Come on! ma ma ma ma ma
'Cos he's a beatnik
'Cos he's a beatnik
'Cos he's a beatnik

R.I.P. of course Hamish, still can't get over that, between him and the guy from Chixdiggit and the guy from Modest Mouse, that's 3 drummers we've lost in the last four weeks or so. 3 empty drum stools. Sad for drummers. Anyway - love the Clean, have tons of their stuff. Something I've always said about the Clean is everyone says they're influenced by the VU but they sound actually influenced with the Sterling-like hyper rhythm guitar playing. #vinyl #records #TheClean #FlyingNun #HamishKilgour

Real Estate started their set last night with a cover of “Anything Can Happen” in what must have been a hat tip to Hamish. They also said they played it at their very first show.

Sonic Pick Me Up
Big Blood, a duo now trio ( 1st a couple & now their kid) from Massachusetts.
Lofi, countryish & at times experimental music that swings between sweetness & freeform psychedelic... sort of...
Here they are doing a rendition of Anything could Happen by The Clean.

Hamish Kilgour recently passed away. I truly love his music. the clean and the great unwashed are influential and really no one knows their music still.
This show offers a really good overview.

#nowplaying - "clean out of our heads," hamish & david kilgour's 1983 syd-folk spin-off of #theclean, as playful & odd as ever. catching up on obits/memories of hamish & feeling both heartbroken all over again but also inspired & awed. a real one.

❝ “The music business is a business and it’s dollars and cents, charts, units and product, which is totally divorced from what I believe in,” [Hamish Kilgour] told Rip It Up in 1982. “Music inspires you. It makes life more enjoyable … You have to keep experimenting and remain open to things.” ❞ → https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/07/an-understated-power-hamish-kilgour-of-the-clean-remembered-as-a-restless-innovator

Oh, Hamish.
You will be missed more than you could ever possibly have imagined. (And that was always your problem.)
Sending love to David & the rest of the Kilgour clan, Team DunChurch, & your collected bandmates & co-conspirators. Tally ho, tally ho! X #HamishKilgour #TheClean
