God Damned Motherfucking Son Of A Bitch!






Bristol boys:





I hear they are ripping down Colston Hall in Bristol. Something to do with not wanting to be associated with Slavery. Bristol was based on Slavery. Rip Bristol down.

Saw Gillan there and a few other bands. For the best I'm sure.

Ship ahoy!

Aloha!

This vid has it all:





James with a new haircut.

Hot blonde bitches smoking cigarettes being edgy (just before they catch the cancer which isn't really that glam tbf fam)

Lars pretending to play the drums.

Sometimes I like it when the circus rolls in to town. I like to watch the freaks. It reminds me what I might have been in another life. And I am thankful.

I like the music too.

"Some man like to hear the canon ball a roaring..."


Fuck yeah, my brothers in arms.

"Hello, yes, this is James Arbuthnot, accountant to the stars and EMI in particular".

"Hi James, about that hotel room..."

"Ah, yes, let me stop you there, that hotel room, say no more..."

"Yes, James, someone has to pay for it - the hotel owners were apparently not in the know that a Metallica video was being filmed there, and to be quite frank, they aren't very happy about it. They had Nirvana in there 10 years earlier and they really did trash the room, but they weren't famous then, so you know..."

"I get it. It's ok. I'm writing a check as we speak. As for bad publicity, could you just write a little hit piece in the local rag, documenting what these animals have done? We'll pay by the word."

"It's done."

"Glad we could do business."

Whack for my daddy-0 - there's whiskey in the jar-0


P.S.

"Btw, was Lars really playing the drums there?"

"Lars can't play the drums"

"Oh"

Master Guitarist at the peak of his game





Look out my window see a world that's on fire
Some people think that we should just let it burn
With all this ignorance the flames just get higher (higher)
All of these people with their misinformation
Must be the truth if it's a blog on the screen
We've got to buy it if it's the latest creation
Too many icebergs out on the ocean
Too many chances to sink like a stone
The great Titanic about to go under
And the band played on
Guess everybody needs a new pair of glasses
A lot of shit out there nobody can see
Yeah everybody's got their heads up their asses
We're all out here dead in the water
We got a leak in the boat
We're all up shit creak without a paddle
Just trying to stay afloat
We're all out here dead in the water
We got a leak in the boat
We're up shit creak without any paddle
Just trying to stay afloat
Too many icebergs out on the ocean
Too many chances to sink like a stone
The great Titanic about to go under
And the band played on
And the band played
And the band played on

Tune kicks in at around 3:15






the Long John groove makes me think that Elvis Costellos band had heard it a few times and "Pump it Up" came out of it, consciously or not.

Leave it to Kenny Loggins to bring in Michael McDonald to remix LIVE one of the Doobie Brothers' classic tracks. I've been on a soft rock kick lately.

Red Pill lyrics on this track in my opinion.

I'm listening to Washed Out, who are one of the acts that I wish would get bigger because their music is sublime and worthy of a larger audience. They capture the angst-y millenial Zeitgeist perfectly--but no need for Xanax or mumble rap... Washed Out, for those that don't know of them, they are chill-wave (musically speaking), in other words, electronic music that is perfect for chilling out--I cannot confirm it, but apparently sex while listening to Washed Out is roughly equivalent to "Bolero" by Ravel, in other words: fantastic and perfect. Digression: a background on Bolero and sex:

Quote:Maurice Ravel's Boléro is one of the most famously erotic pieces of classical music. To some 21st century ears, though, it's become the musical equivalent of shag carpeting.

The quarter-hour composition wasn't originally conceived as a soundtrack to sex. At its 1928 premiere, Ravel advocated for choreography that would have been set against an industrial background befitting the music's mechanically repetitive quality.

He had a point: the principal distinguishing feature of the piece is its relentless repetition of an insistent theme that becomes vaguely militaristic with the introduction of horns. Hardly an incitement to ardor, but there's also that slowly swelling orchestration that gives the piece the feeling of a single-minded building to climax. Since the average American couple only take seven minutes to consummate a coupling, 15 minutes is a reasonable goal to aspire to.

"There's nothing subtle about the strutting, deliciously arrogant horniness of the tune nor about its inexorable saunter to salacious satisfaction," writes Richard Todd. "Even the change of key corresponds exactly to passing that point of no return of which we're all so fond. And the big bang at the end, well, I leave it to you to interpret that one..."

The piece began appearing in sensual contexts in the 1970s, when it soundtracked a documentary about gay erotica. Its fate as a lights-down-low selection was sealed with its prominent inclusion in one of the decade's iconic cinematic sex scenes. "Did you ever do it to Ravel's Boléro?" asks Bo Derek, after which she and Dudley Moore proceed to toke up and give it a whirl — pre-empting Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet.

The film — Blake Edwards's 10 (1979) — was so successful that it made Boléro one of the most expensive musical numbers to license for use in future movies, earning a million dollars a year for the composer's estate.

People magazine covered the Boléro phenomenon in 1980, as recordings of the piece flew off the shelves. "'It doesn't matter which orchestra is playing,' says one record store manager in Denver. 'They just want it.' Of course, as a sex aid, the Boléro is a plain-brown-wrapper item. "No one ever wants it for himself," explains a salesman in Houston. 'It's always "for a friend."'"

...

Plenty of people, it seems, still like to get their freak on with Ravel: in a 2012 poll of Spotify users, Boléro was outsexed by only Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" and the Dirty Dancing soundtrack.

I have hipster tendencies, and ironically Washed Out--"Feel it All Around" is the opening sequence song for the hipster show Portlandia:





Nothing better than Washed Out and weed (although I'm lacking some). For now, I'm making do with a bottle of Chivas Regal and my Juul-- although I have at least one thing in common with Hunter S. Thompson right now...
