My favorite, @InkaUtexas, a rare one

In FOURteen hundred and ninety two, a native of the galleys

I MET him in the streets of Spain, sellin hot tamales

    He said the world was round-o, he said it could it could be found-o

    That HYpothetical calculating son of a bitch Columbo

He MARCHED right up to the Queen of Spain demanding ships and cargo

The QUEEN said don't ever come back if you don't bring back Chicago

    He said the world was round-o etc.

The QUEEN gave Columbus three ships, one a triple-decker

The QUEEN waved her handkerchief, Columbus waved his pecker

etc etc

damn good one. Heard it at Sandhill.

Sitting with my brother. Been 11 years. We are talking about our days at Basic and advanced school. Decided to listen to some Cadence. Found this one. Reminds me of Drill Dent. Fucker could move our platoon with Detroit level rhythm. @RDCanecutter  

Might not be the thread for ti, but oh well. 

 

 

Hard work.

They even got the whiteys to clap on 2 and 4!  That was cool.

 


Influences are obvious. But it hits good for this genX ear.

Playing deep ellum in Nov.

In.

Beer drankin music tonight.
 

 

You've heard of grindcore, you've heard of metalcore, you've probably heard of deatchore.  These sumbitches are technically goregrind, but I prefer to call them shit-core.

I present to you, Gutalax:

I have no idea how I found this shit, and I have no idea why I listened to it in the first place; but god damn they crack my ass up.

Old school showing up in my playlist.

 

I had a post recently on some thread (may have been this one) about how Counting Crows has/have become weirdly underrated.  

I'm just now entering my 30s - so I was subjected to them through my dad growing up but they weren't a big part of my high-school/college experience to say the least.

They are a really, really fucking good band. They go 12 or 15 deep without skipping a beat. Classic example of a band who went mainstream and "sold out" but ultimately still made very good music that holds up well. 

They didn't go mainstream and sell out, their debut album rocketed off the charts.

I bought a collection of Alice In Chains tunes on CD.  Still have a player in a vehicle and didn’t own any AiC until today.   Should be a fun listen with their whole upbeat and starry eyed themes!

How did this go? AiC for me is one of the greatest bands of all time. I put them in the convo with groups like Zeppelin, Floyd, The Who etc. Probably the only group since the 70s that I think reached that level. Their individual brilliance at each spot coupled with their synergy and rhythm is basically impossible to replicate.

This was cool - had never heard it. Thanks for sharing. Life's Been Good is one of my favorite songs of all time and I think should always be in the convo for greatest guitar songs ever made. 

Random video I saw yesterday led me down this guy's youtube channel. I liked these 2 videos since he copies the style of shredders playing over a few well known songs.

I'm not familiar with all the shredders, but he got Zakk Wylde, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai down.

 

 

Beer drankin music.  No ragrets.

 

 

Probably the best recorded live performance one can find of Hallowed Be Thy Name. Bruce was in his prime.

This is an absolute masterclass in rock drumming.

I'm a huge Zeppelin and Bonham fan. 

They can both be masterclasses in their own ways 🙂

There are very, very few people in 2025 putting stuff out like what Josh Dun does on the song I posted. It isn't about technical proficiency or how complex anything is necessarily - like the Bonham track you linked. 

It's an insanely fucking good track that he lays down. Probably most impressive from a composition standpoint. Zone out and focus on just the drums and listen to every little thing that he does. The tempo control, the stopping and starting, the shifts in volume and style.

I wish there was more music being made like that. In a lot of ways it reminds me of what the best guys were doing in the 60s and 70s.

What I wish I was listening to is a good live recording of the 41 songs Sturgill did a Red Rock

 

TIL that Dire Straits' Romeo and Juliet was about MK's failed romance with Holly VIncent and one of the piano licks was taken from Springsteen's Jungleland

I think that may be Dire Straits' best song.  I always like to compare it to one of Lou Reed's masterpieces (and it may be his best song, too):

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, the bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie, I'd do the stars with you any time

Fantastic song, terrible video.  I love that Surly knows.

 

Cant get this sumbitch outta my ears...

Not sure if it’s a good recording but it’ll do for me tonight while I’m making orange chicken and drinking.

 

 

 

I somehow missed the invite to the orange chicken dinner.

Wife’s been in denmark selling enterprise software all week. I need those commission checks to procure concert tickets. She digs my orange chicken.

May I interject.  A bottle of Bolgheri, a filet, new earbuds, annd high as a kite, and some college football on the OLED,  I am listening to this glorious song on my said new Bose earbuds.  Listen carefully to the groove and the detail.  Allman-style southern rock/blues, relevant topic, and most of Toto behind him.  Fucking bliss.

Earl is living life right. 

As I read this, my playlist served up

 


It’s Friday; it’s reggae

Two motherfucking fantastic tunes.

This is a killer fucking record. I encourage you to give the whole album a spin: 

 

Having some Bourbon and listening to And Justice For All. Because why not?

I was never a huge White Stripes fan but this caught me at the right time, jacked up on coffee at a truck stop urinal. JFC, that is a hooky Page-worthy riff blown thru an octaver ascending while the vocal line descends to meet it at that final *omph* note. Goddamn right I'll bang my head at a pisser.
