Anything Could Happen

Aren't The Clean the best?! 

Thin Lizzy - Hollywood w/ May Booker

This is the greatest thing I've seen in a while and reaffirms my love for Thin Lizzy...

"In 1982, 70-year-old May Booker wrote to the BBC expressing her admiration for hard rock band Thin Lizzy and saying how lovely it would be if she could perform with them…" (via Brian Turner/Amy Small)

Swearing At Motorists - Live in Amsterdam

So recently my favorite band Swearing At Motorists. played a show with one of my other new favorite groups The War on Drugs in Amsterdam. The result: Swearing At Motorists - Live at the Melkweg in Amsterdam on VPRO Television

What this video contains is a classic S@M set - it's amazing, hilarious, intense and tragic all rolled into one. His drummer apparently went AWOL after sound check and he's forced to do the set alone, but that's kind of a good thing. Dave Doughman has been putting everything he has into his songs for 15 years+ and this show is no exception. Do yourself a favor and check out his back catalog.

It's Monday

The Yardbirds - Dazed and Confused

I've been on a HUGE Led Zeppelin kick lately (mostly Houses of The Holy - Dancing Days and No Quarter are my current jams). It's funny, my parents never really played this stuff in the house when I was growing up, mostly it was the Who and the Beatles and Stones, so I kinda missed out on Zeppelin. In high school it was kinda lame to like them unless you were a real stoner and I was more interested in punk at the time.....I also just picked up a Yardbirds Greatest Hits cd from the library, so I've been checking that out, mostly for the pre-Zep Jimmy Page.

This video is hilarious - they hadn't figured out how to nail this song yet, which Zeppelin eventually perfected. It's just sad to see the singer try and stay in the spotlight with his shitty vocal vamping and harmonica noise, and then Page just fucking cuts him off mid-stream. lol!

Factory Records Documentary

Tim and Eric get "Rango'd" @ Sundance

This is T&E at the top of their interviewing game, where they thrive: on an unsuspecting, low budget local tv show promoting their new film....ah man, so glad these guys are mainstream now. Can I get a 2?

Gary Wilson: Secret Girlfriend

Gary's got a SECRET GIRLFRIEND!

Moore vs. Pink

Ariel Pink is working on a new collaborative record with his idol, lo fi weirdo R. Stevie Moore
The whole thing is streaming on sound cloud, and so far it's pretty great - reminds me of a fucked up Elton John at play in a basement.

Ariel apparently also has another album's worth of material he'll be working on with his full band, and a werewolf movie in the works called BAD VIBES about a 60s band who all turn into werewolves because of a venereal disease or something.....sounds about right

Johnny Thunders - Swedish TV

This is the REAL Rock N' Roll Circus - clear to see why this was banned. Some really good moments though...love to watch the scattering soundmen. God bless the Swedes for even thinking about airing this.
