Civil War Fantasy
I'm gonna start a war...put some excitement back into my life before I actually start thinking the stuff I say. Or believing the stuff I think.
Back home in a week give or take.
Radio show was not on this week. I had a playlist I was quite happy with too. Next time I guess, after easter, most likely at a wholly different time. I will of course keep y'all posted.
In the meantime, since I can't fill your ears with actual music, here are some things that I consider recommendable yet have inexplicably failed to mention at any point in previous livejournal entries, along with a few words about why I consider them recommendable.
Fatso Jetson - maybe you might have heard of mario lalli and larry lalli from desert sessions appearances, or yawning man whose song 'catamaran' kyuss covered in a way that was pretty awesome. One of them is real fat, or at least used to be. You can see this in one of their videos on youtube. Anyway, fatso jetson are a rock band with good songs, which is about as much as one could wish for. They play good stoner-ish rock songs with a cool surfy, slightly punk vibe I suppose, and a rather excellent guitar sound. I think josh homme wishes queens of the stone age were as awesome as fatso jetson.
The Jesus and Mary Chain - putting nice singing melodies over crazy noisy fuzz guitars seems like an excellent idea to me, as does covering the unreleased pink floyd/syd barrett song 'vegetable man' as a b-side to their first 7". Although I only heard it once or twice, it most definitely was awesome. I have I think they had the dude from primal scream hitting one or two drums like a retard for a while, then they went to a drum machine or something. Anyway at some point they stopped doing the noise fuzz guitars and became far less interesting to me. So I think I'm only recommending the stuff you can't get hold of by them...
Pussy Galore - before jon spencer played cliched bar band rock and roll with a bizarre sense of self-satisfaction in the blues explosion (which as a side note I do actually like), he played trashy, noisy rock and roll with no sense of propriety in pussy galore. Necrophilia and hella swearing (he said the f-word...) should probably be part of the repertoire of most rock bands I think, but being able to play instruments is kinda overrated. There ain't no doubting the new york-ness of this band, that's for sure.
