One of my favorite songs...EVER! Thanks for posting. Haven't heard it in a while and it made me smile while listening.

:tiphat:

:tiphat:

^^^ Voodoo Child is probably my all time favorite, but really, there is no bad Hendrix.

"...I'm standing next to a mountain,
I chop it down with the edge of my hand..."

Fuuuuuuck. Yes. To be the "voodoo child". The mind boggles...

I actually know someone who doesn't like Jimi Hendrix. Can't get into him. Just can't -- doesn't like it, doesn't get it.

That person is a fucking moron. It's a tragedy. Otherwise, this is a pretty bright gal. But in this particular instance, staggeringly dumb. What can ya do? :shakes head:


Anyway, tonight I was listening to the amazing genius that is Steve one-two-fuck-you Albini...

Behold.













Like, seriously, a whole era of terrible music floundered pitifully trying to do this kind of music (notable near misses: Skinny Puppy, Ministry, after they unfortunately reinvented themselves...).

Other than Jay Reatard's utterly amazing Terrorvisions album (which he referred to as "electro-punk" if memory serves), I find most bands who try to make thise kind of racket ("Industrial"?) to be a bunch of pretentious poseurs (I'm talking to YOU Maynard J. Keenan, you twat).

I'll take noise/grindcore/undefinable mess (e.g., Napalm Death, Doom, Melt Banana, et al) any day over that shit.

Trent's okay, tho'. I give him and NIN a general pass (for whatever my stupid opinions are worth. Not much, I suppose....)

got james taylor's new one in the mail, tester. and, reordered an old, early fave from the 60's: mason william's great, thou brief, "phonograph record"...smiling faces...

I'm listening to my WV hill-billie co-worker boring me to death with his NO-STOP chatter. I need ear-plugs and ear-muffs! Maybe some duct-tape, and a pair of old socks too!!!

:icon17:

as is my wont;
i'm on the last of my 'heinies' whilst previewing the new release of "sticky fingers"...sounds GREAT!!!...i'm hearing bright, clear, loud instrumental sounds/notes that i'm thinking are new sonics, which is what i'm after, after all...almost bought the $150+ deluxe thingie, butt, i think i DID get what i always wanted...

:tup:

Hmm -- remastered? I'll have to see if I can find that. Fantastic album ("Bitch" and "Sway" are among my favorite Stones songs).

NB: If you like Iggy Pop, beware the somewhat recently Bowie re-mastered version of Raw Power. He absolutely murdered that album.

Part of the amazing energy in that whole album due to the discordances, distortion, and odd blending of instruments -- and Bowie took all of that out.

He even removed the xylophone from "Penetration", which was very unusual, distinctive, and created a neat contrast to what is otherwise a very gritty and passionate song.

But, Bowie is immortal, and a demigod of some sort (and possibly the supreme ruler of the Guild of Calamitous Intent), so I suppose I have to just let it go...

Ah, the B-52's... what a cool, crazy band.

If you haven't heard it before, find Peter Griffin's cover of Rock Lobster -- hilarious :rofl2:

I think there's a variation on that of his called "Iraq Lobster" too :icon17:

Although Peter's all-time best song has gotta be "Cowboy Butt-Sex" :rofl2:

jordo..."sticky" jis came out (remastered/double-sided-extra tracks-versions, incl. some from "bleed") last tues. for only $15...i keep digging into amazon's deep jungle japanese treasures (expensive) but this is a quality release, it's own damn 'merican self...

:tup:

side 2 new "sticky fingers" the jam from "gimmie": 'midnight rambler'...

:tup:

...as sum of youse kids might know, the handful of youse that are maybe following my short-lived, beer-ladened, wonder-rants-reviews that are almost always rendered after receiving the mail after drinkin' da heinies and watching' tiggies baseball...i put on the new internet "find" hoping for the bestests sonics...i'm not trying to be a prude or prolific butt, perhaps, helpfully prophetic in
teaching/testing/teasing you kids to take your own bad selves to the early 80's; in this case the excellent quincy produced (mikey's beatles' geo martin) "OFF THE WALL"...

brilliant...and, this comes w/a 'bonus', order on this one...commentary, which i didn't expect...

CDs are old fashioned, i know, butt, that's me...old school...

after months of searching... I've finally found it
