Courtney Love is sometimes entertainment and most of the times a
whackjob as by wading through the 100 plus tweets that she was doing
last night. Mostly ranting against Irving Azoff and Jim Barber, her
former A n R and lover but she seem to pick a fight with Mandy Moore and
her new hubby, Ryan Adams. I tend to favor Adams' retort that he was
never Courtney's lover but she was suffering from visions of grandier.
Love has protected her tweets but geezes half the time she sounds like
that old drunk woman that you see at the bar that nobody hangs around
since all she does is bitch and moan. Somehow I have visions of
Isabella when I read Ms Love's Tweets. They don't exactly make a whole
lot of sense.
I always known that John Phillips was a boozed out
freak but did we really need to hear MacKenzie's report that she slept
with her father? John made some decent music with the Mommas and
Papa's but I couldn't find an album of his that I could listen through.
John also tore up his liver with all that drugs and drink and ended get
a doner liver and he continued to abused that before his body gave out
on him and he passed away years ago. Now MacKenzie said that they
played the game of Incense. MacKenzie has always been like her dad,
fucked up and half crocked on drugs anyway. I am certain that Oprah
scored on the ratings on this show with Ms. Phillips but it seems that
Oprah is getting more and more towards Maury territory. And not exactly
an improvement.
At Facebook I have decided to take a break from
the game everybody calls Farmtown. I can't get into it half the time at
home and when I do the damn game won't work without timed out errors and
Wait I'm Busy when trying to harvest. Don't have time to play games on
dialup which doesn't work most of the time. I call my farm On Vacation
but if you come across it with the words Retired, then you know I have
traded my sickle in for about 10 coins. Games are supposed to be fun,
not stressed out.
Yes
Music is as popular as ever but the new music you RIAA dumbfucks put
out is not memorable. Why is it that I can't remember anything off the
new Pearl Jam album and still have stuff from their Ten or Vs album
still in my head? Contrary to rumour Mitch, American Idol doesn't have
anything memorable, does anybody care about Fantasia, Clay Aiken? Kelly
Clarkson is still holding on and so is Carrie Underwood but history is
showing that time is against them and they will be in the dollar bins
within five years. As for Dancing With The Stars, I'm sure they promote
some kind of new music but what does it mean Mr.Bainwol when Ellen
plays a song that she dances to and you cocksuckers sue her for
royalties? Music isn't a best value when YOU the RIAA and the major
labels are sue happy.
Long live the album but give us an
album of music worthy enough for us to buy and more than just one good
song and 12 others pieces of shit. And tell your damn engineers and
recording know it alls to mix a fucking album right and not blare us out
of house and home.
Modern music sucks for a viewpoint. Name me a
the number one song from last year on top forty, or five years ago.
You can't. Modern music isn't memorable. And classic rock radio is
outdated.
Music acts don't want to play the major label game.
Yeh the major labels got all the money to promote and get the band out
on the road but they do not groom the band into greatness. Usually it's
one and done for a struggling band or maybe two if somebody at the
label likes em enough. Think Neil Young could last this long if he came
out in this decade on a major? Think again. Hard to believe you can
make more money as a Wally World Greeter than being on a major label.
Great
music is out there but they all came out as the Beatles Remasters. And
most of the bands Mr Bainwol pointed out are long in the tooth vets or
pop flavors of the month. If you think another Rod Stewart sings the
Greatest Soul Songs Ever is going to be Great Music then you keep
living through your rose colored glasses while the music industry turns
to shit. And look out for a return to your bon jovi or rod stewart
albums as they get returned back to you since nobody wants them. If
you want to make any attempt to get some interest back to music, then
give us Spotify, that music site overseas that lets you listen to music
without being sued. And give up on the notion that 30 second snippets
of songs are performance. One cannot base a decision on buying a song
on a 30 second snippet from amazon dumbass. Promote the artist but quit
fucking the consumer with your "great music" and "American Idol
Product". Cuz neither one is what I call good music.
The Top Ten of the week.
1.
Gonna See My Friend-Pearl Jam 2009 Oooooh new Pearl Jam. All Music
Guide call this effort their best and another four and half star rated
album but they also say that PJ might suffer from Rolling Stones
Syndrome, which means that every new album is a return to the good old
days. If that's the case, Backspacer is Pearl Jam's Bridges To Babylon.
2.
I Me Mine-The Beatles 1970 The final song that they ever did together
however, John Lennon is missing from the version that is on Let It Be.
You can find the original on Anthology 3.
3. Stealing In The
Name Of The Lord-Paul Kelly 1970 Not to be confused with the Paul Kelly
from Austrailia, this Paul Kelly was one of the last great soul singers
that hooked up with Buddy Killen to produced this song which got into
the top 40. He had a few more minor hits with Warner Brothers in the
70s but you can say he got wiped out by the disco craze of the mid 70s.
4.
What Kinda Guy?-Steve Forbert 1978 Another one hit wonder, Forbert got
lumped in with Bob Dylan and got a hit in 1979 with Romeo's Tune and
then his record label tried to make him into a Bruce Springsteen wannabe
which failed big time. Problem was Forbert got signed to Nat Weiss, a
control freak label owner with visions of Matthew Katz in his head and
controlling his acts. Forbert wouldn't record for 8 years due to
Weiss's hassles. He also did that to The Romantics, the band known as
What I Like About You. So tell me Mitch Bainwol, what's the reason to
sign with a major label outside of total control.
5. The Ghost
Of Number One-Jellyfish 1992 The perfect Queen tribute album, Split
Milk was a combination of Fred Mercury and Queen meeting with Brian
Wilson. Bombastic power pop at it's most pompous. Jerry Scott used to
play this alot when I was working at Relics back around the early 90s.
6.
Ant Corridor-Robyn Hitchcock 2002 The quirky Hitchcock made this
completely acoustic album Luxor and put it on his own since Warner
Brothers had enough of his quirky but less selling albums of the late
90s. In other words, too damn weird for public radio. Found this at
Goodwill for three bucks along with a dozen other cds.
7.
Cleaning My Gun-Mark Knopfler 2009 Amazing the old Dire Strait mainman
is still on Warner Music Group. Has a new album and more celtic sound,
more Chieftians than Dire Straits but this is perhaps the most rocking
on his new album called Get Lucky. Probably more enjoyable than Pearl
Jam's latest.
8. Need Strange-Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatballs
2009 The left field album of the month, the Chickenfoot/RHCP drummer
puts together a little band of his and make fusion funk ala Al Dimeola
or Headhunters period Herbie Hancock. Probably won't sell shit but if
you have a open mind and miss that old fusion funk of the 70s, check
this out.
9. Euro Trash Girl-Cracker 1993 This was a hidden
track off Kerosene Hat and turn out to be a alternative rock favorite of
sorts. I think Cracker remains one of the most overlooked bands of the
90s, they don't seem to get their due.
10. Love So Fine-Nick
Lowe 1979 Thirty years ago, Rockpile was the rage and anything Nick or
Dave Edmunds did back then I had to go buy it. Labour Of Lust was a
must have and still remains one of the top two albums of 1979 that is
recommended. The other you ask, Dave Edmunds Repeat When Necessary.
Dedicated to my one and only.
