Sending the Friday Random Music Dump out to Don “Feingold” Quixote, providing the very modern definition of quixotic in his tilting at the windmill of Rubber Stamp Republican Judiciary committee. Truth to Power, indeed. Make us proud.

Oh, and Keanu Reeves is an idiot. First, Rape is not consensual. period. Non-consensual sex can be completely non-violent. Second, no matter how rough someone may like sex, if it's consensual, it's not rape. Dipshit. Third, Keanu, you're a fuckin moron. Please go away now.
1. Icky Shazam from the album “Suck” by Boris the Sprinkler Opened for the Figgs once, the singer wore a child's Batman costume. Snot-punk from Green Bay led by Reverend Norb. And only 1 minute 36 seconds.
2. See America from the album “Mobilize” by Grant- Lee Phillips
3. Peanuts from the album “Message In A Box: The Complete Recordings (Disc 1)” by The Police
4. Frail and Bedazzled from the album “Pisces Iscariot” by Smashing Pumpkins These guys still have a good thumping loud sound.
5. White City from the album “Peace And Love” by The Pogues Shane.
6. Coppers from the album “Life Won't Wait” by Rancid Modern punks picking up where London Calling left off. For all the grief they get, they are pretty good.
7. The First Time from the album “Zooropa” by U2 Hey, all you whiners saying the Kinks and Styx never show up on my random plays, my U@ never shows up either. The odds are the odds, boys. Hey, I notice Norbizness narrowly avoided a Styx based FRT today.
8. In Metal from the album “Things We Lost In The Fire” by Low
9. Chief Inspector Blancheflower from the album “Blueberry Boat” by The Fiery Furnaces I forgot I had this album. Weird.

Another XM Friday Five, today featuring channel 51 XM MusicLab (prog-rock, jam bands, etc.). Just because that's what I'm listening to right now, and I thought I'd share:
ReplyDelete1.Happy the Man - Steaming Pipes
70's jazzy prog to begin with.
2.Umphrey's McGee - Wife Soup
Not too noodley, clocks in under 5 minutes. The new Phish?
3.Gov't Mule - Lola Leave Your Light On
Old school rock and blues, with funky Led Zepp hooks. Even Henry Rollins likes these guys.
4.Reverend Horton Heat - It's Martini Time
Rockabilly (psychobilly?) with gravelly vocals by the Reverend sounding just like Mojo Nixon.
5.Triumvirat - Panic on 5th Avenue
That organ! Channeling ELP only with a spacier Moog. Those wacky proggy Germans.
Happy teh Man- The Cure song, or the Genesis song?
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested in that one. Burn me a copy.
I can't decide. Sirius radio has Howard Stern, XM has Air America.
Sounds like good reasons not to get either.
ReplyDeleteSnark, snark.
Happy Opening Day, tc.
Opening day for the Brewers.
ReplyDeleteYou know in the Star Wars movies, when obviously imminent, mind-melting, gut-wrenching disaster is looming and a Jedi (with those mystical powers to see the future and defeat flying toasters) will say "I have a bad feeling about this."?
It's like that.
Air America: good.
ReplyDeleteHoward Stern: bad.
I'm a shock jock fan from way back. But to me, Howard always translated better on TV because of the visuals. Not much point in a visit from a stripper on the radio. But most of Howie's humor was derived from the constraints placed upon him from the FCC. Instead of full blown vulgarisms, you got potty mouth. The point was to see how far he could push it.
Now on Sirius, he has no barriers. And although I have not heard his show, I just read this morning where he is ranting about the lack of listeners that followed him to satellite radio. The numbers will continue to grow, but personally I think his time has past.
The Force is with the Brewers this year, tc. Good with the leather they shall be, hmmm. Foul the ball off, not shall they. Crush it they will.
ReplyDeleteHeard it before, I have.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it not.
Wanna make a bet? A week's worth of guest postings on my blog they don't make post season play.
