>Brian Wilson used to live in a big, boring house - http://www.zillow.com/blog/2011-08-01/beach-boys-brian-wilsons-former-saint-charles-il-home-for-sale/

the home includes 6,527 square feet of living space, including 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. In addition to the recording studio space, the home features nine fireplaces, two master suites, library, solarium, media and rec center

I always wonder what semi popular indie musicians in particular do for money when so much of their years are taken up by touring across great distances to play at venues that cannot possibly cover expenses. Ties in here since it would be interesting to see the kind of homes they can afford too.

reminds me of that Daily Show bit about the "horrors of socialism" where they compare 50 Cent's MTV Cribs thing to Robyn's sensible, medium-sized apartment

(let's save) John Coltrane's house:

Louis Armstrong's kitchen:

King Diamond's house (via the now-defunct blog Metal Inquisition):

Also check out this legendary post on the offstage lives and homes of Manowar...

The stove in the Louis Armstrong's kitchen long postdates his lifetime - looks like circa 2005.

Rest of kitchen is awesome though. I want those radio-dial cabinet pulls! And the 1972 microwave oven and the NuTone thingie built into the countertop

That kitchen is excellent. Represent!

Louis Armstrong's kitchen looks a bit like (but I'm sure it isn't) a Lustron prefab; they had metal built-ins.

My neighbor has a lustron house, they are frustrating!

I'm fascinated by Lustrons, esp. originals that haven't been "improved," they're kinda rare. But I could never live in one.

Same kitchen, but lived in:

At least it will never be damaged by termites....

It's the Lustron thread!

GIS on "keith richard's house" is almost a primer on how to live

http://www.accreditedonlinecolleges.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/libraries/04-KeithRichards.jpg

I remember when Neil was on Leno in 1992 after one or two predictable questions from Jay, Neil said, "You know, I'd much rather play with this train you've got back here." For some reason, an electric train was part of the Tonight Show set. Neil jumped up and began moving things around (plants and such) to get to the train, to the surprise of Leno.

i am way too much of a tornado in the kitchen to keep a piano in it.

yeah something tells me the piano isn't going to get out of my way when i bark at it with a bunch of stuff in my hands

It's actually a vintage microwave

It's not a house, but definitely qualifies as a home...

Billy Joel's house looks like a wing of Cesar's Palace in Vegas. yeeeuch.

Doorknob Display: Backstage passes, from Case's concerts and her friends' shows, hang on a doorknob.

pretty common for people who make their living on tour to hang laminates in bunches from a bedpost or a doorknob

lol yeah

...and my parents had some shelves like the ones in the Mick Jagger photo - they were the cheapest shittiest MDF imaginable, short of green chipboard.

New Criterion had a lot of coverage of modernist era arts back when I used to glance at it.

The original Criterion was started by T.S. Eliot after all, who some of us still read, though maybe not for his politics.

think about moby's house all the time

who's copey?

Julian Cope

i've always liked moby more than his music. tho i love 'everything is wrong'

also i LOVE ian mackaye's house. i'd be happy man if i had my own wood-shingle craftsman bungalow

Isn't that now just the Virginia-based Dischord office? He lives in DC itself now, right?

ok yea you're right

i like copeys place a lot.

not too far from where i live either.

hmmm ...

Billy Bragg's house in Dorset: http://ianbone.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/bragg-house.jpg

Interior shots here: http://www.wellerworld.co.uk/billyshouse.htm

livin' the sweet socialist life

the cliffs round there are basically made of cheese, so good luck to him with that

how the fuck does billy bragg have that much money

couldn't work out whether or not that was just one residence in that picture. looks like about 3 houses?

dang. guess that's that Sexuality money?

strong and warm and wild and rich as hell

i have mixed feelings about looking at musicians' homes
on one hand, i want to see every tiny detail but also i cannot imagine such prying eyes around my home (not that anyone wants to see it but still) so i feel bad about looking

guilt not necessary when the house is up for sale !

i.e. julian copes.

love some of the detail re his ..

the chairs with the names on the back.
the guitars fixed to the walls.

Billy Bragg's house = Downton Shabby

I know they aren't musicians but I couldn't find a more appropiate thread

Is there a thread like the 'what do you wish you looked like' thread, but for what you wished your home looked like?

David Sylvian's old home/studio in New Hampshire is up for sale, yo:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/MA-Center-NH-465000/306095906159428

Damn. Prices are pretty good in rural NH.

Right?
That's like an hour away from me. If I could do my job remotely, I'd hop on that in a second.

Richard Ashcroft's new home plans for Taynton retreat

No photos of the inside, but apparently it "was built in 1660 and features a period bull-ring, a secret garden and an ornamental pond."

A bull-ring?

I question the rock stars who don't have a bull ring in their mansion.
