Restless Hearts - Circa 1851

In sum, gentlemen, what the wildness of this canal life is, is emphatically evinced by this; that our wild whale-fishery contains so many of its most finished graduates, and that scarce any race of mankind, except Sydney men, are so much distrusted by our whaling captains. Nor does it at all diminish the curiousness of this matter, that to many thousands of our rural boys and young men born along its line, the probationary life of the Grand Canal furnishes the sole transition between quietly reaping in a Christian corn-field, and recklessly ploughing the waters of the most barbaric seas.

Man, I LOVE the '70's ... and youtube of course.

Performance at the 1976 Grammys ... didn't do any research to find out where these four ended up.

Raise your hand if you can remember the last time you got lucky when the sun was up ... :-) .

Ok, forget the Loudness War...

And let's see Charlie Watts keep up with this beat.



I love YouTube.

Some great takes today guys. I couldn't get Jim's link to play - then I looked at the date and the views - I'll try back at dawn PDT. Kevin, the Midnight Star / V101 concert take was tremendous - thanks for the laugh(s).

A nugget from the '70's - find the current day soap star who's been on top of the heap for 20 years ...

Please watch the whole thing. The fade out during the guitar solo can't be all that common ...

While we're on the subject of Nickelback...

A short lesson in music production. Quite interesting and enlightening. If you've ever experienced 'ear fatigue' while listening to music, this is probably why. And probably why Kevin can listen to Bob Marley and The Rolling Stones for hours on end.



The Loudness War

Old friends

I have made contact with Tony Castillo - will be bringing him into the fold soon - for now please realize - that after 3 years of absence - Tony immediately reminded me of an old Schmidty classic...

Q: What has 2 legs and bleeds profusely?

Answer below...

Brad - Absolutely correct - politics sucks - Rock -N-Roll - music in general - much more interesting and dynamic - more characters than X-Men.

Magneto / Scott Stapp arrested again for throwing an Orangina bottle at his hooker of the week.

Orangina - bet $1000 that Keith Richards has no idea WTF Orangina is.

Anyway - the part that pisses me off to no end here is

1] Groupies without taste / rock -n- roll perspective. Any self respecting ho would not come near Creed - not when Dylan is touring!
2] Rockers who throw shit at stupid but hot strippers - you know, I can think of a lot of other uses for strippers, hos and groupies besides braining them with my pussy beverage of choice. Stapp is not even a good drunk. At least Survivor really really sucks - all of the time!

Speaking of our Summer Concert Series - Kevin as an official employee of Raley Field [when I want to] attended last Friday night's V101 old school R & B show.

Meritless - awful, loud.

Except 3 parts.

1] Midnight Star - If you do not appreciate the following lines - "I'll be your freakazoid / Come on and wipe me out" You are probably racist. Their show was fantastic - starting with 3 hooded members with their backs to the audience as the synthesizers poured in. Midnight Star props to for winning Kev's - who is most old school of the old school.

2] Props to Shannon for having mediocre breakdancers recruited from like the parking lot surrounding her show which was driven by pre-recorded music, awful vocals, and a WNBA body gyrating on stage in ways that will leave you crying and begging for your mommy to take you out of there and give you cocoa - as in, "I am not ready for this mommy, I was hoping it would be special"

3] And finally Morris day gets ups for one concert moment - he asks for a mirror - stage hand brings one out. Morris simulates grooming - stage hand goes away. Then Morris immediately returns to his sucky concert. So he had about 15 seconds of coolness.

Summer makes music sound better so here is Kevin's top 5 summer CD Rotation this year.

1. Bob Marley & The Wailers - KAYA
2. Bob Marley & The Wailers - Catch a Fire - Deluxe Edition Disc 1 - The original Jamaiican version - raw and cool.
3. Willie Nelson - Milk Cow Blues - [Who is that piano player anyway?]
4. The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
5. Coldplay - X & Y - This is a confession more than a recomendation. I am a sucker for cheap crescendos [Pearl Jam - are you listening?]

Please comment - then read the answer to the joke below.




A: 1/2 a cat.

Viva the return of Tony Castillo!
