The Woggles - Sweet Potato!

Its been far too long since I posted a video of a show I went to, and The Woggles, are worth every letter I type.

Possibly the greatest garage band in this nation, The Woggles sell it like nobody sells it, with matching outfits, stage choreography and a proclivity for getting off the stage and booty shaking along with the fans in the audience. A few weeks ago they played another sparkling set as part of the Muck and The Mires CD release party. In reference to that matter all I can say is the new record is not only produced by legendary freakazoid Kim Fowley, but the cover is real 3D, and comes with 3D glasses. Get yourself a cut gratis here. The Konks, at their first show in forever were also delightful, man, that Yukki Gipe sure can hit.

The Indelicates: Thank Fuck For The Fucking Recession!

I had been dismayed that so few young people bother to write songs anymore about annoying topics, but then The Indelicates came to my rescue with The Recession Song. With the very Art Brut sound of this single and members of Art Brut playing on it to boot, how can I not love this fine tune?



And while we're speaking about Art Brut, their new record drops this week. Lead parable "Alcoholics Unanimous" finds Eddie Argos contemplating his drunken behavior and considering rehab all with a fine sing along cheer. Ah the glorification of the drunk life. How I love that!



So there is it my new favorite songs about poverty and drunkenness. Let us welcome the new age upon us.

Can I call em or can I call em?

Check my blog dated January 5 2009. I guessed Taya would win Rock of Love Tour Bus Edition back at week one. I am da bomb!

Billy Bob Thornton is an Asshole

I am sure many have already seen this, but if you haven't it's certainly worth viewing all the way through. Billy Bob Thornton being interviewed on a Canadian show about his band, and becoming increasingly el-strange-o as the interview continues. It should come as no surprise that after this the band canceled their Canadian tour, I would guess because, well, who can get along with those cantankerous Canadians (internationally known for their bad temper and hostility aren't they)? Oh, what I mean to say is one might reasonably deduce that after this interview these gents were presented with a bag lunch and put on the next moose heading towards the southern border. Bless you Canada. I'd stand on guard for you too.

Some of the other things I enjoy otherwise about this video are the fact that everyone in Thornton's band apparently got identical glasses at some kind of fire sale, and of course the fact that while I am sure Thornton thinks he is 'way cool' for being hostile, confusing, and vague he actually just is a total asshole. I feel so sorry for his bandmates. Being stuck on a tour bus with this jackass would appear to be the textbook definition of hell.
