Hot Pearl Snatch.
I always told Sonny we'd be more famous if he would just let me and Mort dress the way we wanted to. There's proof right there - all those spikey-haired scene makers clapping up a storm. All that adulation should have been ours.
 
Fantastic new album (do they still call 'em albums) from Ry Cooder - Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down. Songs for the Great Recession

Early U2 was outstanding. When Bono deluded himself with the Pop messiah complex it went to hell but those early records are essential listens.

There's something depressing about URGH! Not sure what, exactly, I haven't seen it in probably 20 years, but I had a tape of it and just remember wanting to kill myself every time I put it on. Not because of the music, there's just something about the vibe, baby.

My old man dragged me to a Roy Clark concert when I was a kid (1969 or 1970) and it was incredible. I think he played every stringed instrument known to man that night, and he was great on all of them. I would have rather been seeing Alice Cooper at that point, but Clark made a big impression on me, and I can still remember bits of that show.
 
Believe I 1st viewed URGH! on the TV series Night Flight back in the early 80s - have liked it ever since (enough even to buy the overpriced dvd release of it). Trying to think what it is about the vibe of it that's bothersome and not sure what it would be. This is one moment though I found depressing:

Digney in Burnaby

donkeys live a long time
So that was the harvest moon on the 12th. Fuckin' looney-toons out there.


This train carries liars
This train carries thieves
This train carries blaggards
From all walks of life
That you'd never
You'd ever want to meet

Sometimes a rose is more than a rose. Ponder got me hooked on Fleet Foxes with a post of his. mjp and Bill lead me to a book that is a personal fave of mine based on a couple of posts. hooch hooked my nose on a favorite cd of mine of recent memory based on yet another post.
