Welcome to btb.  Hope to see you as a regular poster.

For game day, let's have a sonic hurricane, no holds-barred, fuzz-toned freak-out.  Tuneful punk headbanging from the Electric Eels. You'll be ready to run through a brick wall while humming along with the album Die Electric Eels:

Terrible week here. This song makes me smile though.

RIP to Seymour Stein, founder of Sire Records and harbinger of the New Wave revolution of the late ‘70’s and early ‘80’s. Signed The Talking Heads, The Ramones, The Pretenders, The Smiths, The Replacements, The Cure and, weirdly enough, Ice-T and Madonna. And, hey, had a pretty bad song named after him, so there’s that.

Fred got me through the dark times of the pandemic...

Just bought tickets for Tedeschi-Trucks in July at the Fabulous Fox Theater, which is a spectacular venue with great sound. Will be 1 of the high points of the summer. In honor of, this may be my favorite YouTube video. Trucks’ smirk at 1:16, when you’re an all-time bada$$ and yet even by your ridiculous standard you know you’ve just nailed one, is simply the best. And what must it feel like when a BB King says you’re the man?

Hmmmmmm…can’t quite match name to face on that young man to Derek’s immediate right. He must be pretty good to be on stage with those legends!

Haven't plastered up something good in a while. Here's one that's really good...

Robyn Hitchcock has a great catalogue. Funny, musical, English, 'hooky'. He's always been the lead idea guy and songwriter under a few incarnations - here's a hunk of awesomeness Ole Tarantula.

Wickedly funny, jangly, and hummable in a hurry.

RIP to Gordon Lightfoot. 

[RaceToTheTop]

One of my favorite.....pretty subtle song that builds slowly.  Best version I've seen is when they performed it live on Conan.  "Lights" by Interpol.

Wow, I’d forgotten competely about Ric Ocasek’s years with the Stones.

Georgia Tech hosts a competition for musical instrument inventions.  The instrument that won this year is kind of a mouth theremin...well you have to see and hear it: (17) Guthman 2023's 1st Place Winner: Zen Flute - YouTube

Today is 6 yrs since Chris Cornell passed.
Sure, it’s trite as hell, but when something’s true, it’s true: no one sings like you anymore.

My favorite Audioslave song. I miss them dearly. 

[Demo]

RIP to Andy Rourke, the bass player for The Smiths. Normally way too enamored of Marr’s playing and generally too unsophisticated to properly appreciate bass lines, but this one is undeniably cool. Also, this is just 1 criminally under appreciated Smith’s song.

Along with just being, ya know, Chris Cornell, he gets extra credit for the fact that Soundgarden and Audioslave are 2 of the all-time great band names.

I’m wondering why I hadn’t discovered Alex G until now.

Easy to grasp—very very good:

Rest In Peace Tina Turner. Song got used for the slide show for my grandma's funeral with pictures of her and grandpa.

[upperarlington]

yep, she had a helluva career, even after age 45 when that Private Dancer album took off my 2nd year at IU.
