Last night I was listening to a live show of Tedeschi Trucks band. Right now I'm listening to live show of Musical Box playing songs from Genesis' "Wind and Wuthering" album. Both shows are SMOKIN'.
Bought this shortly upon release in college. Friend warned me not to buy this. Should have heeded his warning. This is . . . not good. Wish they hadn't just pretended that they were dead. I see where Hole got a lot of their inspiration from.
Lovely. Controversy During their performance at the 1992 Reading Festival, the band experienced "technical difficulties with their audio equipment" and were forced to stall their set. The rowdy crowd grew restless and began throwing mud onto the stage. In protest, lead vocalist Donita Sparks removed her tampon on-stage and threw it into the crowd yelling "Eat my used tampon, ****ers!" Sparks has remained unapologetic about the incident,[5][35] and the tampon has been referred to as one of the "most unsanitary pieces of rock memorabilia in history."[36] In 1992, Sparks caused controversy in the United Kingdom when she dropped her pants on live television, appearing nude from the waist down, during an L7 performance on the UK variety program The Word.[37] In 1999, the band raffled a one-night stand with Demetra Plakas at a London gig.[38]
When I was a little kid I used to think that the Stratocaster was on an ironing board and that someone had ironed it too hard
Randy Meisner was removed from the cover art and was replaced by the hound. His lead vocals was also re-done. But his bass playing and backing vox are on the record
yuck. I can't stand Hole. Christgau, like me, loves "Bricks". He put at #4 on his list of best albums of 1992: Robert Christgau: Pazz & Jop 1992: Dean's List Different strokes for different folks.
Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty (Don't step on the grass, Sam) And it will ruin our fair country (Don't be such an ass, Sam) Well, it will hook your Sue and Johnny (You're so full of bull, Sam) All will pay that disagree with me (Please give up you already lost the fight, alright)
It does have his cover of Bluesy McBluesmaster's* "Crosscut Saw." * From wikipedia: "Crosscut Saw", or "Cross Cut Saw Blues" as it was first called, is a dirty blues song "that must have belonged to the general repertoire of the Delta blues".[1] The song was first released in 1941 by Mississippi bluesman Tommy McClennan and has since been interpreted by many blues artists. "Crosscut Saw" became an early R&B chart hit for Albert King,[2] "who made it one of the necessary pieces of modern blues".[1] Ugh! I hate it when I typo "you" for "your." When I read it back I feel like I'm at Ellis Island getting off the boat with my maternal grandfather. I also listened to these this morning, because I woke up way too early for some reason. This band is a precursor to Duran Duran and all the UK 80s bands with angular hair and outfits, the whole "New Romantic" movement, or whatever it was called. Manifesto is kind of blah as Roxy albums go, I think, but its OK. It's like the Roxy equivalent to Clapton's Money And Cigarettes, because it's a good artist treading water. I think Flesh + Blood is much better with the double shot of "Oh Yeah" and the disco-y "Same Old Scene." Any additional or contrary thoughts, @Rne?
A quick one while he's away The Who Live at the Fillmore East 1968 Makes you feel like you wanna take a ride with cowboy Neal
