THE SUBTERRANEANS- MY FLAMINGO
Of course, there had been also the Subterraneans adventure, with Nick Kent, Glen Matlock and Chris Musto. We had had a good start though. Nick had great songs. He didn’t have a guitar so I had lent him my green Fender Jaguar. He used to love it. His thing was to play in G open tuning, like Keith Richards. At first, it had been tough for me to play with him, because I had to try to understand and follow the chords he was doing on the guitar. So, in the beginning, I simply tuned my guitar in G like him and I would reproduce the positions of his fingers on the neck. I then went back to a normal tuning. On the other hand, I really did enjoy the harmonies that this way of playing would give and today I basically always play in G open tuning. We rehearsed for about a month, really enjoying playing with Nick, still continuing the Flying Padovanis with Chris, and of course we would do that in the Vauxhall place. It was also a great pleasure to finally play with Glen Matlock, who had been my friend for a long time and who I would bump into non stop at night, in bars or in clubs where he was most of the time totally drunk. Glen used to drink a lot in those days and there was nothing you could do about it. Today, he is like a brand new coin! With the Subterraneans, we had had a good preparation and we had booked the ‘Screen on the Hill’, an old cinema in Notting Hill Gate, and we were supposed to give our first concert. A lot of people were talking about it. And they were saying good things. Nick had put out a single My Flamingo on Demon records and that single was actually brilliant. Nick got scared. I don’t know whether he was afraid and thought people where just going to slag him off or whether, simply, he didn’t feel up to it, but he basically disappeared the day before the concert. We never heard from him for a month. And then, Chris told me that someone had seen him around back in London….
Really enjoyed this piece on Padovani — his time with The Police and The Subterraneans makes for a fascinating read, and My Flamingo still holds up. When I need a quick break from digging through old records I usually jump into summer rider to unwind.

https://keonhacai.camp/ hôm trước mình bấm vào xem thử cho biết vì thấy bạn bè nhắc, ai ngờ giao diện lại dễ nhìn hơn mình tưởng. Trang này kiểu tập trung vào bảng kèo là chính nên mở lên là thấy tỷ lệ hiện rõ, cập nhật cũng khá nhanh chứ không phải đợi load lâu. Mình hay xem trên điện thoại nên thích mấy trang không nhồi chữ, ở đây họ chia nội dung theo từng khối gọn gàng, kéo xuống là thấy bảng/cột thẳng hàng nên đọc không bị loạn mắt. Mấy mục quan trọng đặt ngay trên đầu nên tìm kèo hôm nay cũng đỡ phải bấm qua lại. Nói chung mình ấn tượng nhất là cái bảng…
The Subterraneans’ track “My Flamingo” carries a dreamy, atmospheric vibe that blends poetic lyrics with a moody instrumental backdrop. It reflects the band’s ability to create music that feels both intimate and expansive, inviting listeners into a reflective state. That sense of flow and balance reminds me of Slope game, where focus and rhythm are essential to navigating challenges and reaching rewarding moments.
