It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Shit.
Oh, Captain, my captain, you were the outer edge of my record collection for a long time. There stood Trout Mask Replica and I would listen to it periodically, and even enjoy certain songs. But I knew I wouldn't go beyond that marker. I needed a little less chaos in my music.
But then when I was writing the Tom Waits book I had to go back and study you further and there were so many other parts to your music. Of course, all your early stuff is amazing garage rock with your inimitable bellow, truly one of the great rock voices. But Spotlight Kid and Lick My Decals had a lot more going on. Some grooves I could hang onto. More of your fantastic lyrics.
I think I'll go listen to "Grow Fins" now.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I'm especially fond of his last couple of albums. And so few artists can bring themselves to go out on a high note without the temptation to revisit their legacy.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am not a Korn fan, but my younger brother got me into a song they did with The Cure on MTV Unplugged. It's a Korn song and a Cure song played together: "Make Me Bad / In Between Days".
(Is it a mash-up if it's done by the bands themselves?)
Anyway, it's totally awesome.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm making a blues rock mix and I've pulled down stuff from the recent John Mayall box set and it's pretty fascinating.
The intriguing thing for me is hearing the progression of superstar guitarists go from Clapton to Peter Green (famous for the blues edition of Fleetwood Mac) and Mick Taylor (who replaced Brian Jones in the Rolling Stones).
I've got a lot of Clapton on this mix and even listening to his early Mayall stuff the thing that strikes you is his attack. His shit just jumps out at you and grabs you by the earlobes no matter what band he's in: Cream, Blind Faith, Derek & the Dominoes, Mayall. Doesn't matter. He announces his presence with authority.
Peter Green is just so incredibly fluid and musical. Really an unsung genius. Gorgeous, flowing lines.
And Mick Taylor - well, I know there's a reason why his tenure with the Stones coincides with his their greatest work. But I don't think I realized how much Stevie Ray Vaughan took from him. Though as Stevie's playing got jazzier he took a lot more from Peter Green.
Anyway, just some random observations as I futz around with this mix which also includes Rory Gallagher, Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Duane Allman et al.
