JCC I absolutely love the Nee Gees!

Man, it's almost imposssible to pick one favorite. But I bit the bullet and voted.

Me too. "Alone In Stereo". It redeemed the not-so-great Right Ball, Wrong Sport album.

Yeah, it was really the only gem on that one. But when you're as prolific as the Nee Gees they can't all be classics.

You're referring to Mon Qui Çi, Mon Qui Dou?

Yeah, how did you know?! That was from the era when they were really focused on clever titles. Some would say even more than they were on the music itself.

I heard they went into the studio with just the titles, and then more or less invented tunes around them, obviously failing with "Mathematics Are For Mad Fanatics And Lunatics In Attics."

Yeah, but they took and interesting approach with that. I heard that they constructed every song usinng nothing but mathematical formulas and twenty-sided dice.

It actually inspired such experimental noise greats as Sound Monkey, and The Cream Puff Liberation Front or C.P.L.F.

...

edit--nevermind, that was the "B"ee Gees

Yes, but in a bizarre coincidence, the Nee Gees lost a member today too.

RIP Dickenson.

PS Was it Dickinson? Or Dickenson?

It was Dickenson.

Oh wait, it was Dickinson. Crap I'm not sure. I can't find the story on any news site!

Found it.

Nee Gees bassist Lloyd Dickynson dies

TURTLE HEAD, BLACKPOOL -- Nee Gee Lloyd Dickynson died in hospital on Sunday, his family said.

The 50-year-old had been critically ill since an operation to remove an eye after he collapsed at his Blackpool home last week. A statement released by his family confirmed...

My prayers are with his family.

Let's read from The Bible. Any passage.

You mean The Nee Gee Bible of course.

And God said "Let there be funk". And there was much rejoicing...

Awww man. He was the bald one with the hat, right?

And the bass guitar.

Yeah. And the coke addiction.

Ironic, considering the Pepsi deal...

Even more ironic when you consider that Pepsi actually payed him in coke.

He put the "OK" in coke for me.

And who says rock stars aren't role models?

I give up. Who?

For one.

It's people like that who put the greats like Dickynson in an early grave.

That, and the coke.

Well yeah, it can't just be any one thing...

Well yeah, it can't just be any one thing...
That makes my heart sing

Identified the quote. "Can't Be Any One Thing", from the "A Different Kind Of Nee Gees" album, released 7/29/1982, didn't chart.
