A Bunch Of Tunes I’ve Been Meaning To Post
Lacking the time to write more detail, enjoy them.
Les Claypool: American Life/Iowan Gal and Running The Gauntlet. Both solo (Les + bass) and ripped from the “Fancy” DVD, which is a worthy acquisition. I gurantee you that you’ll hear Cleezmo’s jaw hit the floor when he listens to Running The Gauntlet.
Datarock: Computer Camp and Fa Fa Fa Fa. Recorded live at KEXP in Seattle. Saw their interesting set at South By Southwest this year and I love these 2 songs. One campy in, one groovy. Lots of their stuff at emusic.
Speaking of War Pigs (from a previous post about the song), dig on this live studio version by Faith No More, It’s notable because a:) it’s good, and b:) the drummer passes out partway through and Mike Patton finishes the song in his place. Recorded for Australia’s JJJ Radio.
A couple of songs from the first night of Van Halen’s reunion tour. Everybody Want’s Some, Hot For Teacher. The band sounds fine to me, and right on for them.
Last and probably the least if you don’t like Luscious Jackson. Dig upon their cover of To Sir With Love. The original version, by Lulu (who also had a some sort of hit covering Bowie’s “Man Who Sold The World”), was #1 this week in 1967.
New podcast soon y’all (in theory).
