Rush - Working Man


One of my favorite songs.

^^^ Funny enough, I just got back from Canada :tup:

Latest ep on heavy rotation for me... sorta shoegazer/garage. I dig it.





Also lots of fun...





Annnnd, if you like the idea Siouxsie Sioux funneled through Robert Smith if he played with Joy Division before Ian Curtis checked out...

...after mentioning stomu yamash'ta's GO lp on the latest alphabet thread yester., the groups "live in paris" came up in the zed this morn.---features stevie win wood on vocals/keys-my man, mikey shrieve on drums- and big al di meola on gitter...

the song(s): surf spin/time is here/winner loser...circa '76...heady/spacey/rock-funk with a touch of japanese finesse...

...as is my wont to say "wont" cuz of the dichotomy of what i want/"wont" opposed to "won't" is a delicious play-on-words as is my hopeful wont, at times...i bought yet another japanese disc to hear the hopeful improvement in sound...alas, the clarity is better then i remember; the louder, better sonic sounder blast is not...

talkin' 'bout steppenwolf's "monster" and the title track: 'monster/suicide/america'---very remindful of the same shat we've got our asses into, globally, since the 'nam...poignant, powerful, prophetic...

When I first heard this song it actually brought a tear of joy to my eye. I have already pre-ordered this album and have tickets for their October show in Denver. Kerry King may not dig them, but he would probably think I am a complete fruitcake if he took a gander at my playlist on my iPod. Slayer are metal gods, but Ghost is as much metal as they and their grooves are just as heavy IMO.

Now for some good ole growly, double-bass metal:

jis got malo's "dos" in the mail via japan...as is usually always the case, very bright, loud, clear sound...pricey, butt, precious, to some degree...

Whitesnake baybee

last night: jo jo gunne's "take it easy"...NOT the eagle's version...much better rocker by part of the 'deep purple' spin off...the gitter bridge into about 2:30 in is one my faves, albeit somewhat short...great tune circa '72...

really liking the new album

embers with chino is a good one and a few others!

I recently had a t-shirt made with the comic strip featured in this vid on the front and back. It's totally cool as fuck.


Also, Barrence Whitfield and the Savages -- this is some gooooood shit. Find it. Feel it. Howl to it.





Cued up for later tonight... ..the Brian Setzer Orchestra




And, maybe if I'm feeling up to it, I'll follow up the previous with one of my favorite Stray Cats' songs... can't get enough of this one.

They are a blast from the past. "Staring at the Sun" is one of my favorites from them.

Jack O' Fire. Add bourbon. Imbibe soul and spirits together. Dose at need.








I need to buy a harmonica...

Everlong--Foo Fighters

Always gets me playing air guitar!

^^^ I like the Foo Fighters, but I kind of wish Cobain had punched Grohl's ticket instead of his own (or maybe Courtney's...). It would be a better world... :shakes head:

That guy is in like EVERY punk rock documentary now, generally for no clear reason.

He comes off more like a glomming groupie than a part of the phenomena of interest.

He's turned his presence up to 11 in these things... I'd prefer something around 3 :icon14:

They should talk more to Novoselic instead -- he could probably use the hugs... :icon17:

I mean, ol' Hank Rollins is also in EVERYTHING, but he has a much more legitimate reason for being interviewed.

Also (even though I will never forgive him for ruining Black Flag -- I liked his Rollins band era work better), Henry Rollins is just a super-cool dude, and generally very entertaining. Anyone caught him doing the "10 things you didn't know about..." series? Not punk rock related; History Channel pap, but fun edutainment :p

Henry Rollins is multi-talented and seems to be a very intelligent person. Recently he has been the host of a documentary show on History or Discovery (or one of those cable channels) called "10 things you don't know about". It makes me want to read one of his many books. Possibly the only "celebrity" that I would ever want to meet and have a conversation with. Maybe the other being Maynard from Tool just because he is such a freak.

On the other hand, Jello Biafra is a blooming idiot.

These guys (and the genre) are starting to grow on me. Awesome video:
