I'm a big Lindsey Buckingham fan, and fingerpicky, gangly Buckingham guitar bits have ended up in all my songs since about forever. I had been playing the front end of the chorus on guitar for a while before any other part of the song was written. It was nice to play; the energy of it was sweet but kind beat up and sad.

Originally, the tempo was twice as fast and I cut the track live with a band at this faster tempo. I experimented and brought it way back and found the pace there. It felt more stumbling to me, like the person in the tune and better matched the anger of the verses. It was less sun - more grease and dirt. Also, it fattened up Peter Kaufmann's drums.

It's just a little manic! I remember watching it live on TV. The announcers were so excited in anticipation for Lindsey to perform the song - expecting to hear the happy and warm vibes of the sing-along song.Then Lindsey comes out with a barely recognizable version, full of angst and intensity. When it was over, the announcers were visibly in shock and somewhat speechless. All they could say was something like "Well that was different." It was very funny!

Yes. I was baiting Chili and waiting for him to come back and denounce Lindsey's rendering, but he must not have seen my comment.

On Lindsey's Under the Skin tour, at the beginning of the tour, he'd come out and play Not Too Late very softly, a gentle opening of the evening. But by the end of the tour, he was screaming, yelping the verses. He just couldn't keep it in.

[LB supporting responsible gun legislation]

by Anita Busch February 24, 2015 5:18pm Deadline

http://deadline.com/2015/02/judd-apa...on-1201380816/

Writer-director Judd Apatow is headlining a benefit tonight at Largo in Los Angeles for The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. “Responsible gun laws are essential. It’s shocking that even after all the mass shootings that have happened that there isn’t more being done to make our country safer,” Apatow told Deadline. “I think they are a great force for good on that issue. And there’s so much good to be done. Most Americans can agree with what needs to be done, but the gun lobby is so strong and so influential with these politicians that nothing gets done. I’m not sure what it will take. But it’s an important battle not to give up on.”

Apatow said that he has been doing shows at Largo almost every other week for charity so he picks charities that he cares about. How did he get involved with doing a benefit for Brady? “Adam McKay did an event with them last year and talked to me about their work,” he said.

Apatow is the latest in a long list of celebs who have offered their assistance in gun violence prevention through various organizations including Mom’s Demand Action and Everytown for Gun Safety. Families of mass shootings often speak about the hope one day for all of these various groups to join together to unite into one powerful force.

The show, which starts tonight at 8:30 PM (with doors opening at 7 PM) is called “An Evening with Judd Apatow and Friends.” Who are those friends? Norm MacDonald, John Doe, Natasha Leggero and Andy Kinzler. There are still a few tickets available, Apatow said.

Others who have stood up and lent their celebrity to responsible gun legislation issue include this past weekend’s Oscar-winning actress Julianne Moore (Still Alice) and Oscar-nominated Mark Ruffalo (Foxcatcher) whose brother was murdered. Those who have come forward specifically to help with benefits for the Brady Center include Garry Shandling, Adam Sandler, Lindsey Buckingham, Ryan Adams, David Spade and Jackson Browne to name a few.

6:07 Hello, Lindsey Buckingham! In 1985, Fleetwood Mac was on hiatus (between 1982's Mirage and 1987's Tango in the Night); Buckingham had put out the modestly successful Go Insane solo album in 1984. He was one of the first artists to commit to show up, being a client of Kragen, but was consigned to the chorus. Buckingham says that one of his most enduring memories of the day was running into Michael Jackson in the bathroom: "It kind of freaked him out! He was quite nervous, just to be startled by someone walking in, and I just nodded my head."

Amen. If you mean it...

Still, Lindsey is the only FM guitarist who covered the song on his own, guitarwise. But you even prefer that absolute aweful burnette-vito version with those overthetop guitarriddles leading to Mick's woodblock-breaks. Blerghh.

Nothing beats the spencer-kirwan-green-versions though.

nah he just likes to sh*t on LB whether or not there's any need for it. :p

Lindsey places 11th out of 37 on this We Are The World performers ranking thanks to the his mid-'80s hair. :thumbsup:

Ought to be NO thanks to his mid-80s hair. I mean, I love the man but...............

That doesn't mean The Ting Tings aren't trying, she says. She and DeMartino already are writing the next disc. "Like 90 percent of our day is spent trying to write that perfect song, like idiots," she says with a laugh. She says their new obsession is Fleetwood Mac, and they're deciding on a new locale to record.

"It'd be amazing to kind of stalk someone like Lindsey Buckingham," she says. "We've never worked with anybody in the studio before apart from Andy, and we had such an amazing time in the studio, I think we're quite open to doing more collaboration."

i don't know anything about this group, but LB should definitely spread out and collaborate more. maybe he is. but probably not enough.

Album Review: Sacred Heart third member in The Lowest Pair’s latest

LB-mentioning excerpt:
“Rosie” sounds nice, until you realize it sounds like that particular bunny-eared cartoon character is now dueting with Kenny Loggins. Lee’s vocals, well-done as they are, do have a bit of a Loggins-like quality, which is not really anyone’s fault, but it’s hard to shake this feeling, at times. (There’s also a bit of Lindsey Buckingham in there, too, which is more desirable.)

They're a British punk/dance/alternative group that had a couple big hits in the US and UK a few years ago. I would love to see Lindsey work with them. If you've seen the movie Horrible Bosses, you'll know their song "That's Not My Name".

[Excerpt from Rolling Stone piece on the Watkins]

By Marissa R. Moss April 21, 2015

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/ne...cover-20150421

In fact, most of the songs have been plucked straight out of the Watkins Family Hour regular repertoire, capturing a snapshot of what that little Los Angeles club might have sounded like on any given month.

It comes across loud and clear on "Steal Your Heart Away," which features Sara's crisp vocals on the 2003 Fleetwood Mac track and chugs along with slinky steel guitar and her signature lyrical fiddle. (Listen to the track below.) It's more a roadmap of what to expect live than a definitive version — playfully loose thanks to recording the Watkins Family Hour live in-studio in only three days.

Listen to "Steal Your Heart Away," below, which is now also available on iTunes. Watkins Family Hour will be released July 24th on Family Hour Records via Thirty Tigers.

Take A Minute To Consider The Avengers As A Band Instead Of Superheroes
By Ryan O'Connell • 05.01.15 Uproxx

http://uproxx.com/music/2015/05/the-avengers-as-a-band/

Guitar: This is Captain America, looking on disapprovingly at Iron Man’s actions in a way not all that dissimilar from the relationship Russell and Jeff of Stillwater had in Almost Famous. The two of them would have more than a couple dust-ups in dressing rooms about onstage antics and who really is the face of the band. Cap wouldn’t be a flashy guitarist along the lines of Eddie Van Halen or Pete Townshend. He’d be more of a Lindsey Buckingham, technically sound, but not someone who’d adorn the walls of teenagers. He’d also be the first one to release a solo album, acoustic songs meant to show off his softer side. It would not be successful.

The DIY Designer: "Go Your Own Way" dresser

ByJenna LaFevor- Published on May 2, 2015 Nooga

http://nooga.com/169801/the-diy-desi...n-way-dresser/

Music is one of my most favorite things in the entire world. And I’m not picky. You could easily find Conway Twitty, Nelly and Aerosmith on any given playlist of mine.

One of my favorite things to do is to work music into my décor. You can spot lyrics as wall décor around my whole house, as well as album covers. My latest music-inspired piece was this "Go Your Own Way" dresser.

Not including drying time, it took about 30 minutes to add a little Fleetwood Mac to this piece.

Here's what you'll need:
•FrogTape, 0.94-inch width
•White paint (or another color of your choice for the arrows and wording)
•Paintbrush
•Ruler
•Utility knife or craft knife
•Letter stencils
•Sponge pouncer

Step one
Before starting, give your surface a quick cleaning to remove any dirt or dust. Apply FrogTape to your surface wherever you would like your arrows, as shown below.

I didn't worry about measuring exactly with these arrows. I just eyeballed it.

Step two
Using a ruler and a craft knife or utility knife, straighten up the points of the arrows. After you trim up your edges, run a credit card along the edges of the tape to make sure it is fully adhered to the surface.

Step three
Paint inside the FrogTape. My arrows took about three light coats of paint to get even. After the final coat, immediately remove the FrogTape.

Step four
Place the letter stencils wherever you would like them. Use a sponge pouncer to paint within the stencils. Let it all dry.

I had a little open space beside this dresser, so I opted to style it up with my grandmother's guitar and a few records.

Anyplace you could add some easy painted arrows?

More furniture makeovers are here.

“I met Bruce while I was sitting in the mall one day,” she recalls. “He looked like my teenage crush, Lindsey Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac. He came up to me and said ‘Hi.’ He was gorgeous and charming. He picked up that I was a homeless runaway and was really sympathetic. I thought, ‘Gosh, somebody finally understands and cares.’”

Lindsey Graham Tweeted "Sorry, Lindsay Lohan" About His Newfound Fame & It Was Pretty Much The Best

On Monday, Lindsey Graham thrust himself into the national spotlight when he announced his candidacy for the Republican primary, and now all kinds of delicious details about the South Carolina senator are coming out of the woodwork. Besides the fact that he’s the only bachelor running for president, it’s recently come to light that Graham’s Twitter game is strong. Earlier this month, before he had announced his candidacy, Lindsey Graham compared himself to Lindsay Lohan on Twitter. Unbeknownst to all of us, he had straight-up slayed the platform and we’ve all been tossing empty words into a cyberspace pit since then because nothing else will matter ever again after that Lohan comparison.


It all started with a BuzzFeed article. On May 18, BuzzFeed posted a quiz titled “Who Is Lindsey Graham?” One might expect it to be a straightforward profile of the senator, but the subtitle read “I’m asking you. Do you know?” Pegged to his presumed presidential bid, the quiz then asked readers to select who Lindsey Graham was out of four choices: a picture of singer Lindsey Buckingham, a picture of graham crackers, a picture of Lindsay Lohan, and finally, a picture of the real Lindsey Graham.

[From a review of Thin Red Line]

http://somethingelsereviews.com/2015...red-line-1980/


If Lindsey Buckingham had written “Less Than Zero,” instead of Elvis Costello, the result might have sounded very much like “Mrs. Peel,” from the Cretones’ Thin Red Line album. Released on Planet Records in the spring of 1980, this was the debut from a band of seasoned L.A. musicians clearly in love with the new wave sounds coming out of Great Britain.

When I spoke to Ricky, he told me that Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac is one of his biggest influences. Looking at the list above, you can hear elements of all of them in their music. Ricky plays mostly notation on his guitar and it is very reminiscent of songs like "Reptile" by the Church, and anything off "Pygmalion" by Slowdive.

I've got a Lindsey nugget.
This section of The Ledge
is dead.

R.I.P. Lindsey.

Because basicly all Lindseyfans ran away from here. Understandably.

Why so?

I was away for an extended period.
Did I miss something?

No you did not miss anything. But it is obvious that Lindsey's Side of this site is dead, where it was very lively before. It's basicly elle that keeps it alive. She knows what I mean.

was there a mass exodus of Lindsey fans??

Okay.

It's sad really since he's the most talented one
of the group in my opinion.

Three cheers for Elle!

From a review of Dawes

Pop Matters by John Bergstrom, July 7, 2015

http://www.popmatters.com/review/194...avorite-bands/

Musically, the band run through these mostly slow to midtempo songs in their familiarly tasteful, SoCal alt-country way. Goldsmith is a guitarist worth listening too, mixing the bright tonality of Lindsey Buckingham and the flinty probing of Neil Young in equal measure. The Hammond organ swells add the right measure of backporch comfort.

Dawes is an awesome band. Saw them last year in Nijmegen, first as Dawes, later in the evening as the backingband for Connor Oberst (aka Bright Eyes). One of the live highlights for me in 2014.
