No. No words. Other than deeply, deeply wrong.

Now just imagine Pat singing it in tight black leather, like the pictures from his "metal" album.

Mooohahahahhahahahaha!

that sums up exactly how I feel at the moment. Nice!

Thanks! I recently got hold of a compilation of super-obscure guitarlicious early 70s funk that you may like, too, Tina.

Is that the one we had in Matthew's sidebar in the book?

I don't think so, or at least I don't remember if it is. It's called Chains and Black Exhaust. Lemme look up the line-up.

Also, Kathy McCarty has the cover of the Austin Chronicle this week. I found a copy of Dead Dog's Eyeball based on the LITG review, and apparently she has a new album out.

It's all seriously Hendricized guitar work over superfunky riffing, kind of like Shuggie Otis.

edit - and here's a review by Dominique Leone: [link]

Yeah, it's in Matthew Spector's sidebar. And I got a copy through Shangri-LA. It's pretty spiff.

I missed it! I'll get back to work memorizing LITG, though.

Thanks!

It was an excellent summary of his work for the newbie, and after finishing FoS all I was thinking was "I just want to hang out with this guy." Which was pretty much the thesis of your essay, so it was fun to read.

You know I'll love it then. I'll never say no to a guitaralicious mix, hayden. (Uhm, I mean C.I.).

My roommate and I had a "how I discovered music" talk tonight after many many drinks. Here's my story. (His was hearing Led Zeppelin on the radio while he was mowing his parents' lawn and freaking out and dancing in the yard while the mower was running.) The first song I ever loved was "Joy to the World." I thought my Dad had made it up. Every night my Dad read to me and then he turned the lights out, did figure 8s in the dark with his cigarette (yeah, it seems kind of fucked up now but I've had an ashtray in my room since I was four - it seems normal to me) and sang "Jeremiah was a bullfrog...". It was YEARS later that I realized he was singing somebody else's song. But the SECOND song I ever loved was "Twist and Shout" from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

(There was a lot of singing to Prince, Huey Lewis, and Duran Duran in the mirror before "Twist and Shout" but I had never been obsessed with a song before then.)

I asked my Mom about it and she dug up the record it was on and I listened to it on headphones about 765,000 times (I keep trying to remember if it was Please Please Me or Meet the Beatles or what, but I don't know). While I was listening to that I found this record in her stack that if you moved the jacket independently of the record sleeve these girls faces would match with all these different wigs. One day I just put the record on the player and listened - it was Some Girls. And then that was my favorite album (I wish I could say my favorite song was something cool like "Far Away Eyes" but I think it was "Miss You" - I was in 6th grade).
