Clearly a night for

The Incredible String Band - Black Jack Davey

From the fringes ...

Justin Tranter ~ 6ft+ cross-dressing, bi-sexual, foul-mouthed, depraved party animal lead singer from NYC Garage Punks 'Semi Precious Weapons'. But don't let that put you off ...

'Magnetic Baby' is as clean as a whistle, and a mighty fine infectious anthem in the waiting also. But don't take my word for it ...

Ah, yes! Freedom of religion. Until the king tried to take it away, and the Protestants protested. Then they dragged in Sweden and France and had a war which lasted for thirty years. Strangely enough, they called it The Thirty Years War.

How prescient of them!


>8-D

.....and i'd like to protest about the lack of airplay for my current favourite artist.......

Joan Wasser looks a bit Boho on the cover of her album "The Deep Field".......

Nervous - Joan as Police Woman


....or anything else from the album, it's all good.......


Paul from Ayr

Paul - I certainly do not wish to undermine your suggestion but they could get two bohemian artsist for the price of one with this outstanding track:

Joan As Polis Wifie with Antony Heggarty - I Defy

#3 Neil Oliver has stolen our SG identity!!

BRING ME THE PEACE OF WESTPH GARCIA

Keepin' it country... it has to be Willie Nelson ~ End Of Understanding

Caption

Doc, everythings gone green!

Relax Wyatt its that horse tablet I slipped you.

Ronnie Butler - 'Burma Road'...aaaaah!...Bohemian! Doh!

#5 I see what u mean Norrie, that'll do for me too!

"involving musical, artistic or literary pursuits"

Writer of some incredible innovative music and performing in the Factory with Warhol and his Exploding Plastic Inevitable events, living with and being taught by the great poet Delmore Schwartz. I think Lou Reed may qualify as Bohemian?

The Velvet Underground - I'll Be Your Mirror

now where to start with Marianne Faithful.....

Marianne Faithful - Times Square

Born to black mother and italian father, never fitted in, grew up in musical family which received welfare as her musician and carpenter father refused to earn money. She was a child prodigy playing violin...eccentric...outspoken.

Imani Coppola - 'Legend of a Cowgirl' or 'I'm a tree'

she later morphed into...

Little Jackie - 'The World Should Revolve Around Me'


Neneh Cherry spent her first few years in a hippie commune in Sweden...musical/artistic family:

Neneh Cherry - 'Kootchi' or 'Woman'

A shoo-in for

- Dancing With the Pixies

Coming into Los Angeles - Arlo Guthrie

Dancing Barefoot - Patti Smith

Sure 'Nuff 'n' Yes I Do - Captain Beefheart

I'm a Dreamer - Sandy Denny

Colours - Donovan

Baby - Devendra Banhart

Ladies & Gentlemen - Give it up for an author whose books have been translated into 20 languages and have sold over 20 million copies. Let's hear it for a man who was a cartoonist, a poet, a screenwriter and a singer-songwriter.

Otto Penzler, proprietor of The Mysterious Bookshop in New York City writes,
"The phrase Renaissance Man tends to get overused these days, but apply it to and it practically begins to seem inadequate."


Still Gonna Die - Old Dogs

Or my favourite Dr. Hook song, co-written by Shel & Ray Sawyer

Help Me Mama - Dr. Hook

:o)

Bill Nelson: guitarist, songwriter, painter and experimental musician. Subject to artistic restlessness.

Bill Nelson - Do You Dream In Colour?

#16 #17

These people are not Bohemians, they are the cause of unemployment.

#18 You are correct. Bill Nelson lives in Yorkshire not Bohemia ☺

Captain Beefheart - My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains

Requested many times etc etc

Joan Baez - apparently spends much of her time meditating in a tree house - it would be nice to hear 'Diamonds and Rust'

Or, what about something by The KLF? Surely any band that dumps that a dead sheep outside a post-Brit party and follows the cult of Discordianism must qualify as Bohemian.

This seems a perverse choice. A cursory glance at today's events shows Elvis recording That's All Right Mama, John and Paul meeting, the premiere of A Hard Day's Night and Jefferson Airplane forming. In this context, religious freedom in Bohemia (a country only remembered for inventing lager) is not an obvious lapel-grabber.

Surely shome mishtake, as a famous Bahamian would say.

Not only that Glen today is the day when the wee Sojourner rover vehicle was let loose on Mars from the Mars Pathfinder spacecraft.

An ideal opportunity for Space as a theme....

At last we'll find out the truth about the cucumbers.

Dear, dear dear - where is everyone?

(I wonder if this theme passed the 26 record test before being appoved?)

Looks like its going to be a F***book night.

Adam we are all out of our faces on abisinthe in the true bohemian style. That is why everything looks green...

Henri is the blog boheme and I am hoping he has not over indulged and cut his ear off....the current scene in Milngavie:

John Grant - Sigourney Weaver

A great song about being different to everybody else.

The Tubes - What Do You Want From Life?

Great anti-commercialism message

Hi Bloggers!

Have I missed anything?

Any stooshies?

I would like to second all Gaie's great suggestions as usual.

Add add a request for

STOMPING GROUND by MOONDOG

a blind musician who lived on the streets of New York and dressed like a Viking.

Bohemian or what?

Re the Beck track "devil's haircut" is a Dutch expression meaning a song you can't get out of your head. I learned this from my big Dutch mate, Leo, who arrives in Scotland on Friday and is quite the bohemian himself!

#29

Thing-Fish,

Did his mammy dress him as a Viking for a giggle?

Hello, Thing-Fish - good to see you back! Moondog certainly fits the bill. You'd think.


No stooshies, we're all too jaded.

What was once considered Bohemian is now the lifestyle of the average 14 year old.

Moondog was on the Fill Your Head With Rock sampler. Stamping Ground (?) wasn't one of the tracks I followed up. Johnny Winter's I Love Everybody is a cracker.

There goes Glen, valiantly trying to start a stooshie

"You don't need a silly moustache to be a bohemian, but it helps!"

Q. Is Julie a bohemian?


We should be telt!

It has long been contentious whether it is Stomping or Stamping. The label says Stamping, the sleeve says Stomping (twice). There can be no middle ground - it is either one or the other. Perhaps he did it deliberately to generate a stooshie. The choice of a Viking costume was no accident.

Blind Bohemian Berserker...

#36. Oh for goodness sake...the newbies won't understand the joke...sigh!
