Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

THE ROUTE TO QUADROPHENIA
Sorry for the shite pics... Pretty decent Quadrophenia related compliation here. Nothing too obscure but a great listen all the same. CD is available free with the December Mojo magazine...
nice little compliation...great stuff-thanx mein freund.
quadrophenia to me - is a holy gral. the record came to me - long before the movie starts (thanks to my wonderful brother) the songs a part of my life. the who are a mainstay in my life. god save keith moon. all the best and a wonderful advent sunday.
Great compilation... Since I was a kid in Courbevoie, a grey suburb of Paris, back in '77, I was the only pseudo-mod of my college... I was a reduce from my 1st listening with magic keith in Who's next and got thrilled by the maximum r'n'b of Meaty,Beaty,Big&Bouncy.. So when i got through Quadrophenia, it was like getting to the peak of emotions, teen fears, exaltation etc... Bring the dream to the street, and soon you became a pseudo-mod but no lamie, no drugs... only power pop power for the rest of your life. life goes on! :-) Xavier (rome) PS: Now, i'm in django stuff... every thursday at Forte Prenestino, Rome "Djovedi Django, djam aperta, 100% acoustic", open-jam, unplugged, for the 101 years of Django Reinhardt. But it's only rock'n'roll and i like it
