Yeah, one of them sucks.
I saw The Violent Femmes live once. Oddly, they were headlining the Newport Folk Festival. They were awful.

Not surprising.
I was always shocked that they made it big on a guitar riff that just seemed like an out-of-tune version of the solo/melody from The Beatles' I've Just Seen a Face.
Not surprised the words TOOL and BD Gallof are in the same sentence.I miss BDG. So i just looked him up and apparently he is also a tool fan.
It's funny, I just started listening to Zeppelin, for the 1st time in a long time. My fave Zep song of all-time being In My Time Of Dying. Second favorite is Bring It On Home.I know some of you older bastards can get down with this. I just turned 42, so I put myself in that category.
This is the one time of year that I actually play Zeppelin at home. I don't know why other than the fact that it's an excuse to say "Zeptember". I've heard these records enough times in my life to be able to sing every part for every instrument on every song back to you, and yet, I do look forward to this every year.
Listened to the Pretenders' first album 'Pretenders' - masterpiece.

I'll join you this afternoon, sir.
I was just watching this the other night, stayed up way later than I should have but I got drawn in. It was pretty good. I went to bed after kris kristofferson.Has anyone else seen any of Ken Burns' "Country Music" documentary currently on PBS? I haven't watched any of his stuff in a while (kinda all started to seem the same), but this one is really good. When I was a kid my dad was a Hank Williams Sr and Buck Owens fan and as a result of hearing that all the time I like the more traditional southern/old timey and also some western country music (in which category I include the Dead). I may stop watching after they get past Johnny Cash and into the modern era.
And Lene Lovich behind it! New Toy, Lucky Number!!I'll join you this afternoon, sir.
If I got the story right, Kristofferson's father was a general and Kris was an officer in the military with a wife and kids and he went to a country music concert and decided he wanted to become a songwriter so he moved to Nashville and got a job as a janitor at a music studio. His wife left him, his parents disowned him, and he ended up being famous. Pretty cool.I went to bed after kris kristofferson.
Yeah, that’s a pretty cool story about pursuing your dreams and losing everything to do so, then coming out on top. I’d say an aberration though. Most people who do that would max out as a divorced janitor.If I got the story right, Kristofferson's father was a general and Kris was an officer in the military with a wife and kids and he went to a country music concert and decided he wanted to become a songwriter so he moved to Nashville and got a job as a janitor at a music studio.

Switched to Led Zeppelin, because I was listening to the new Blink 182 album, and was disappointed.

I have a soft spot for bizarre, idiosyncratic female vocalists like Lovich and Diamanda Galas. That **** can clear a room faster than the noisiest hardcore in my collection.
I was on vacation last week and totally missed that Kim Shattuck of the Muffs died last week. What a sad loss. I interviewed her for the zine I made back in the day and she was totally nice and gracious. Still have a thing for the skirt/thigh stocking combo because of her. Best female scream in the history of rock and roll, in my humble opinion.
I didn't know her personally but I know people who did, and by all accounts she was the real deal; super talented and also always funny, gracious and just a pleasure to be around. It's one thing when the "old guard" rock and rollers leave us (most recently, Ginger Baker at 80), but it's another when folks from your generation do. Total suckage.
Switched to Led Zeppelin, because I was listening to the new Blink 182 album, and was disappointed. Listened to it at least 10 times in the last week, and though it's KINDA growing on me, it still disappoints me. Their last album, California, was a good album. Though, not digging as much as their old stuff. They just aren't Blink 182 without Tom Delonge. Though I preferred the Mark Hoppus written songs anyway, they just don't have that punk pop sound anymore that I REALLY loved. I don't know what they are anymore. And even their last album with Tom Delonge (Neighborhoods), I really didn't like, but at least they had some punk songs (2 or 3) on it.
