While everybody was too busy singing the praises of Bon Iver and Red Hot Chili Peppers making it to the RnR HOF, Josey Scott quietly left Saliva to focus more on Christian rock music. It wasn't a very good time for Saliva after their last album bombed and Island Def Jam showed them the door. Under Your Skin was the album and though it didn't vary much from previous albums, they did managed to hang on Island for almost a decade. I still enjoy Blood Stained Love Letter and their best of and Under Your Skin had some creative moments the album was badly over recorded. Bobby Amaru replaces Scott and he brings a bit more of a poppier sound from what I hear of his songs. Maybe worth a listen if and when Saliva returns.
File this under Circus Leaves Town Part 2: Bristol Creme Palin has decided she's had enough of the desert life and LA and have moved back to Alaska to live the rest of her years as a trivia question to being a daughter to a dumbass quitter whose Going Rouge book can be found for 50 cents at your local junk shop. We haven't heard much from her when she moved to Arizona and even less when she jumped out to LA to try to star in a failed reality show. Once Screech Palin got out of the spotlight, Bristol Creme simply found out that the world didn't care about her all that much. What does God have in store for you Miss Creme? Working as a assistant at some doctor's place in Alaska for starters and back into oblivion just like the rest of us.
Etta James has been released from the hospital to return back home which is good news. We were just about ready to write her obituary before Christmas, but James is fighter and got a bit better over the past two weeks to come home again. We don't expect her to record any new music anytime soon but as long as she still lives it's another day to live and cherish.
Nice of Al Kooper mentioning Get It While You Can, the version which Jerry Ragovy and Howard Tate are together only. Haven't heard the 2009 version but I know of the version that was on Rediscovered.
And The Townedgers will start working on their first album in over four years. Which means I won't be much online to blog in order to write some thoughtful lyrics. But I'm sure the blogging machine will continue to toss them out whenever the middle of the week rolls around.
Great to see Ed again, our old co worker who retired. Saw him up at Red Robin. He may return to work in our department when we get busy again. Good man.

Crabby: So you'll be writing lyrics 4 the new Townedgers' album? Will this give you an alternate forum in which 2 rant & rave like an American Johnny Rotten?
& when do I get a review copy...?
I'm going try anyway and nope, songwriting and Crabb rant and raving in blogs are two different things Tad. I'll let you know if and when it gets done and something will be done, The GF made it clear she wants new tunes ;)
Besides I may as well do something else, seems like the only damn traffic i get is from Fucking Domur Ru. Bastards won't go away and no i haven't clicked on any sites in the referring sites part anymore. Too bad we can't block the spammer upper. FU Domur Ru.
