Oh! Two things: 1) I found a cd of The Door's L.A. Woman album. Will be getting it tonight after I get paid (that's the only reason I didn't get it tonight) and 2) I saw in Guitar One magazine that next month they're doing a profile on The Darkness. Want a copy?
LA Woman is a great album. I recommend The Changeling and Hyacinth House a lot. And L'America. Actually, the whole thing was a fantastic return to form for the band.
Don't worry about the magazine- I can track it down here in England I think, but thanks muchly for the Darkness heads up!
Yeah, I got L.A. Woman free when I bought Presence. Still have yet to listen to it though, as I've not quite finished with listening to Houses of the Holy yet. And I heard D'yer Mak'er again today.
Welcome for the heads up. If you can't find a copy, let me know and I'll get it out to you. :) There was also a Guitar Legends magazine that was published out here. Of course, it was all about Jimmy and the various guitars he used to get some of those wild sounds. But it was cool. (My brain is so gone. Sorry for rambling.)
D'yer Mak'er is a great song which many critics at the time made the mistake of taking seriously. Dunno if you know this, but there's a joke from roughly that time that goes like this:
Bloke 1: My wife's gone off on holiday. Bloke 2: Jamaica? Bloke 3: No, she went of her own accord.
And that, I believe is the origin of the title and the rest is a bunch of blokes taking the piss out of doo wop.
