Friday musical spew.
1. Lose This Skin from the album "Sandinista! (Disc 2 of 2)" by The Clash I miss Joe Strummer.
2. For God and Country from the album "Zeitgeist" by Smashing Pumpkins
3. Moonshine from the album "…the corner of Miles and Gil" by Shack One of a number of fine batches of music referred by the whackaloons at 3Bulls.
4. Paradise from the album "Return To Paradise (Disc 1)" by Styx o good lord. Well, if Henry Rollins can admit to liking Chicago 4, this maybe isn;t so bad.
o fuck let's not fool ourselves. Dennis Deyoung at nearly his full schmaltz level. oog.
5. There She Goes from the album "Children of Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the Second Psychedelic Era 1976-1996" by The La’s late century garage bandy psychedelic goodness. Ignore the fact that it's featured in a commercial for birth control pills. The La's probably made more money off the commercial than the original single, and good for them. At least it's not a commercial for Viagra or Wendy's.
6. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy from the album "A Day at The Races" by Queen Queen has been rocking my world this week. They finally released a competent live album last year, from 1981; recorded in Montreal. This song isn't on there, however; it's one of the more fey semi-operatic odes.
7. Sweet Leaf from the album "Symptom Of The Universe: The Original Black Sabbath (Disc 1)" by Black Sabbath .....puff, puff, pass...puff, puff, pass....puff, puff, pass...
8. Watcher Of The Skies from the album "Live" by Genesis Old skool. Pete G. and the Biggo Mellotron Opening. So proggy and portentous and scary....maybe the lizard shedded it's tail.
9. A Warm Place from the album "The Downward Spiral" by Nine Inch Nails
10. Pachuco Cadaver from the album "Trout Mask Replica" by Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band Primal weirdness. Robyn Hitchcock wouldn't exist without Beefheart.
I never said this was a Ten. I'll keep going till I feel like stopping.
11. Breaking Glass from the album "Drunk Tank Decoy" by West of Rome And since my loo-Nattic inspector has decided to make my life hell yet again today, I'm-a gonna keep on going. Localish band I've seen open a couple of times; rootsy alty bar band chunkness.
12. Greenville from the album "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road" by Lucinda Williams
13. Zina-Marina from the album "Super Taranta!" by Gogol Bordello
Thirteen is the right number today.
