Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers

oooo.

met kyle last night to catch the Ghettobillies; he had to leave after the opening band, the Cocksmiths. But before that, we had beers.

and after that I had more beers.


I'm not feeling so good today.
But the GBs rocked, seemed like they didn't hardly play at all.
So here's a very quiet Friday Random Ten. But I'm not Auditing, because my brain can't do all that cipherin today,



1. Mary from the album “Farewell- Live (Disc 1)” by Oingo Boingo
2. Abernant 1984-85 from the album “Original Sin” by Mekons A little Friday Mekes. The word is that they've got a new album mostly done, just ned a little woodshedding to finish it up. Jon Langford is pretty fuckin hard working for an ex-art school punk alt-rocker.

3. (Don't Fear) The Reaper from the album “Extraterrestrial Live” by Blue Öyster Cult The first person to mention cowbells gets slapped. Seriously. Almost as omnipresent on Classic Rot Radio as Stairway, at least this song has aged much better.

4. I Was Just Leaving from the album “South Mouth” by Robbie Fulks Robbie is a great country musician, (on Bloodshot Records), in the vein of George Jones or Hank williams, with a bit of the hellraiser in him. If the Country music industry wasn't as broken and dysfunctional as the rock music industry, he'd be famous. This one's a weeper.

5. Bad Little Actress from the album “Utopia (Re-release Of Original From 1982)” by Utopia Todd Rundgren's pop-prog band, at their poppiest. I wish they would re-release Swing To The Right.

6. One Way Or Another from the album “Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits Of The '80s Vol. 1” by Blondie.

7. Circles Erratica from the album “Going Somewhere (Extended Version)” by Colin Hay Former member of Men At Work; saw him play solo at Summerfest last year. He was pretty good, and somewhat amused at the brush with superstardom.

8. Wicked Little Critta from the album “Mink Car” by They Might Be Giants.

9. One Plus One from the album “I'll Show You Mine EP” by Ultrasound I tracked this band down based on a review from The war Against Silence. Regrettably, the band only produced one double album, and a slew of EPs. It's an astounding mix of prog, punk, indie rock, and just general noise. Amazing, just amazing.

10. Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl) from the album “Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits Of The '80s, Vol. 7” by Haircut 100 Dancey new wave from the Wayback machine.

11. Daughter from the album “Live at Benaroya Hall - Oct. 22, 2003” by Pearl Jam Interesting semi-acoustic live set. I'm not a huge PJ fan, but this I like.

Oh well, that's enough.
