Good news everyone (or is it 
), today I got inspired to go on a long rant down the back streets of music history again. This time it is about Joe Meek. Today it is 96 years ago this English record producer, sound engineer and songwriter were born. He was one of the first producers to be recognized almost on the same level as the artists.
Joe Meek was a pioneer in the studio, known for using sound effects in his recordings. He saw the recording studio as an instrument. Between 1957 and 1967 he was involved in 245 singles. 45 (an appropriate number here!) of them reached the top 50 in the charts, eight of them the top 5 and four got to number 1. I’d say that’s an impressive legacy!
In 1962 Joe Meek got historical, when Telstar, written and produced by him and performed by The Tornados, was the first single by an English rock band to reach number 1 in the US charts.

Sadly Joe Meek’s life was a troubled one. He suffered from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. On top of that he was gay, in an age were homosexuality was still illegal by law in the UK. In 1967 his life ended in a tragic manner. He was only 37.
Joe Meek left behind over 4000 hours of recorded music, including recordings with young artists such as Tom Jones, Jimmy Page, Ritche Blackmore, and David Bowie among others. Some of them went on to have a quite respectable career in music
Even though Joe Meek is mostly forgotten today, he is a man who most surely deserves to be remembered in the history of modern popular music. So here’s one more song produced by him, his first single to reach number 1.

I’d like to pay tribute to Clement Anthony Bozewski, better known as Clem Burke, who passed away yesterday at the age of 70. He was the drummer in Blondie from 1975 to 1982 and then from 1995 until yesterday, and has sometimes been labelled the heart and soul of Blondie. Together with Debbie Harry and Chris Stein, Clem was the only constant member of Blondie.
Clem Burke was a good drummer. Not in the spectacular way, but always on time keeping the beat going. During Blondie’s break, he played with among others Pete Townshend, Bob Dylan, the Eurythmics and Iggy Pop. For a brief time in 1987 he was the drummer in the Ramones, under the name Elvis Ramone.
So here’s one for another of the musicians in the background, who are such an important part of the music. Thank you for the music Clem, may you be remembered.
