Hamilton Leithauser and The Stone-Deaf Soundman

Machine Gunners’ Ear  No Elvis, Beatles, or The Rolling Stones in 1977  Bad brains, Minor Threat and Fugazi - at 14!  Washington DC’s 9:30 Club, The Black Cat and Washington Plaza  The Walkmen cometh in 2000 Eric’s Club matinee, it’s a drive-in Saturday, lots of creativity from NYC In A Forest or In Dust, the Walkmen place their trust, in the Siouxsie-Bob sound, merci!  Bob and Lol’s brothers played music to be loud, discovering the rebel inside From Liverpool to Boston, no charm in the venues, guys in plaid shirts had to hide! More difficult today, is that fair to say? Walkmen wipe-out in London and Bath Salt Lake City rodeo, everyone’s a weirdo, remember roach motels and laugh! Young Budgie loved Winifred Atwell and the Poor people of Paris  The English they love you one time  In the biggest bed Lol gets it to rhyme! Reggae Chart Busters Volume 1 2 & 3 A piano too heavy for the Barfly  Went through a Hole in The Wall Club Manchester was a bit unfriendly  Slim Jim and the Stray Cats, lived in squats Lol’s books into Manhattan  His son on tour Back in the van y’all  Tough for bands in roach motels  No bed and shower? then Lol’s a no show! Budgie loves Kid Congo and The Pink Monkey Birds – True! Harlem Analog in the sweet spot of a terrible idea  Forget to mute and blow out someone’s ear.  Hearing has deteriorated Machine Gunners fear. John McGeoch’s Melodic feedback The soundman was stone deaf - Lol don’t miss floor monitor days  Walkmen are back after a decade no tour  The Black flag soundman was the best first for sure! ____ Respect: Ruth Polsky (December 5, 1954 – September 7, 1986) ____ CONNECT WITH US: Curious Creatures: Website: https://curiouscreaturespodcast.com Facebook: @CuriousCreaturesOfficial Twitter: @curecreatures Instagram: @CuriousCreaturesOfficial Lol Tolhurst:  Website: https://loltolhurst.com Facebook: @officialloltolhurst  Twitter: @LolTolhurst  Instagram: @lol.tolhurst  Budgie:  Facebook: @budgieofficial  Twitter: @TuWhit2whoo Instagram: @budgie646 Curious Creatures is a partner of the Double Elvis podcast network.
