Unfortunately, it was all downhill from here, culminating in the dreadful "Synchronicity," by which point Sting's ego had gone supernova. When the tour to support this album rolled into Bookies' Club 870 on Six Mile Road in Detroit, a hearty throng of six people turned out.


Paul Weller's entire post-Jam career is a stake through the heart of the 20-year-old Jam fan which still beats in my chest, but here they channel the early Who.


For "The Cyborg":
Australia, the final piece of the punk jigsaw. Every bit as earthshaking as that first Ramones album.

Don't know if the stoner/retro heavy bands trying to recapture early 70's riffs 'n' spliffs qualifies as the "next big thing" these days, but if you like that sort of squawk, "Growers of Mushroom" - an authentic 1971 slab o' granite - is mandatory listening. Five ugly, hairy, red-eyed Picts, standing in a field of psilocybin, glare at you from the cover, looking for elves and sprites to beat unconscious. Not only did Leaf Hound come from (and return to) nowhere, they were barely here at all; this, their only album, was recorded in eleven grueling hours (shades of "Black Sabbath," recorded in six!).

Leaf Hound just want to bludgeon you, lift your wallet and go drinking; there are worse ways to take a pummelling.

I think this was buried underneath a dresser until a day or two back. There is certainly nothing more surreal than trying to explain the origins of "I Wanna Rock" and placing Ween, The Flaming Lips, and Motorhead into some sort of context in the world of wide-eyed, nine-year-old twins who play this disc on continuous repeat on their Disney Princesses CD player.

Not a bad soundtrack. For the first several hundred spins.

Welcome to the club. But I comfort myself (and you can, too) with the fact that the internet generation couldn't write a song like "When the Levee Breaks" or an album like "Born to Run" if you put a gun to its collective head.

Junior Brown is a honky tonk troubadour caught in a time warp, unafraid to roam the outer limits and have a damn fine time in the process. "Semi Crazy" is a deft mixture of clever words, mind-melting guitar, and a surprisingly self-reflective attitude.

Not his best, but the wind-whipped and imponderably great "Surf Medley" is worth the price of admission alone.

You should have heard them heckle me when I said I liked Coldplay's Fix You. Cynthia is uncool to the max.

[[deleted user]]

Thanks Clark, that's true. I have pretty eclectic musical tastes, but I lean heavily in the "classic rock" direction.

It could've been worse Cynthia, there's a k.d. lang cd in my iTunes....

For what it's worth, Clark, the Spongebob Squarepants Movie is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I'm not kidding when I tell you I've seen it - willingly - about 20 times, and that's without my 3-year-old daughter even being remotely aware of its existence.

I'm completely burned out on Spongebob (my kids own Seasons 1-6 on DVD - go figure), but the movie DOES have its moments, in particular Spongebob and and Patrick riding the Hasselhoff and Patrick getting all starry eyed over Mindy.

I'm trying to turn them on to Johnny Bravo.

Bought this for my kids - whether they like it or not. They did...

About as solid as Ramones compilations get, despite the omission of “Censorshit,” “Heidi Is a Headcase,” “Touring,” “No Go,” “Cabbies on Crack,” “Do You Wanna Dance?”, “Suzy Is a Headbanger,” "Little Bit O’ Soul” and “Time Has Come Today."

Throw in an 80-page, hardcover CD-sized book to read while the minute hand buzzes by in circles and an asking price on Amazon that comes out to less than a pack of smokes and a beer and what's left is a no-brainer.

Kevin, I've met that guy on three or four occasions and of course I was all over him with my questions. He's great at what he does, but I need to sit him down and make with the conversation. And play him a few Mott the Hoople albums.

At the very least, I would've expected "Dark Side of the Moon" to make the list.

[Kevin]

my wife is/was a singer mostly in the 80's and early 90's until mom duties became too much full time. anyway, she was in a recording studio in cincinnati once and the engineer would make quick cassettes of the tracks and run out and listen to them in his car. his theory was that if a song sounded good in a car it would sound great on a home system.

i would add Molly Hatchet: Dreams I'll Never See to the list

Can't argue with that logic.

You'd certainly be forgiven for thinking Dan Baird's black Chucks (the preferred footwear of the Ramones) on the picture sleeve are a harbinger of what's inside, but the Georgia Satellites' debut single fell out of the family tree of Chuck Berry (speaking of black Chucks...) and hit the branches of early 70's Stones and The Faces on the way down.

It went as far as #2 on the Billboard singles charts but was kept from the top spot by Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer.”

Girly guilty pleasure time. Rick Springfield covers Sammy Hagar's air-headed weekend-rock classic with Pat Benatar's band watching his back.

Beats Radiohead or the Drive-By Truckers.

Title track from long-since-forgotten 80's T&A beach-flick soundtrack, "Spring Break" - like most anything these guys have ever come up with - is as uplifting as any chemical substance or organized religion. And in this case, the perfect backdrop for projectile-vomiting frat boys in the counties Broward or Volusia pushing the envelope of how high or drunk they can get without passing out or dying.



Uh-oh. I'm admitting in a public forum that I find a Bryan Adams song anything less than excruciating. Do I have to turn in my genitals or will someone come around to pick them up?



Despite the rather unwieldy title - or maybe because of it - this one moves like early Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe, with a liberal dose of twang and all the momentum of a beautifully-orchestrated riot. RIP Kirsty, 2000. :(

Aw, shit...

Color me naïve or just hopelessly romantic, but after “Magic,” I was fully convinced (read: hopeful) Springsteen was entering another art-meets-music-lightning-flash golden age, much like the three-album whammo streak of “Born to Run,” “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” and “The River,” when he was like Enrico Fermi at the drawing board, working without a net, an old dog flogging old tricks while nearly sending himself into pulmonary arrest with each turn at the mic, one fist in the air like he’d just blown up a federal building with the White Panthers. But there's at least one high point here: “Good Eye,” a fat, crawling-king-snake stomp on which he sounds like a ’73 Plymouth Scamp that refuses to turn over.

Cancel my subscription to the resurrection.

[Sarah]

I'm with you there, Clark. I thought Magic was fantastic, but I HATED Working on a Dream, most particularly Outlaw Pete. Every song on there sounds like an outtake from the Magic sessions that deserved to be an outtake. Cut the chaff, Bruce.

I'm excited about the documentary on HBO tonight, though.

Is that the documentary on the making of "Darkness on the Edge of Town"? If so, I'd love to hear what you thought of it. Unfortunately, our year of free HBO on the sly ended in July when Bright House Networks finally caught up with us.

And yeah, you get the sinking feeling something’s about to go horribly wrong when a Springsteen album kicks off with a sweeping, eight-minute, Morricone-esque saga of the old west and it turns out to be one of the best things on the album.

BTW, I'm flush with some pretty damn good Bruce bootlegs if you're interested in copies, including "Born to Run" and "Darkness" outtakes.

[Sarah]

Yeah, it is the Darkness documentary. I don't have HBO anymore either, but my bassist does, so I'm invading his living room at 9 PM.

I would definitely be interested in pretty damn good Bruce bootlegs. Not sure I have anything good to trade. How about this?

No need to trade. Only too happy to pass them along. I'll try to get to them this weekend.

I just burned through Built to Spill’s, “I Would Hurt a Fly,” and Grinderman’s, “When my Baby Comes”.

And the "Darkness" outtakes double-CD collection. Thought I posted the cover, but now it's gone. Or can you see it?

What do you think of that new Grinderman, Ken?

I'm listening to Robert Rich's Trances and Drones. I have to turn it off soon...only so much ambient before I start to bounce off the walls, even for me, who loves ambient.

Can't see it. Awesome! The movie last night was chock full o' those outtakes. I think he must be releasing those along with it.

I like the new one as much or more than the first. It’s perhaps even more raucous, depraved, literate and aurally deranged and intriguing all at once than the original.

[[deleted user]]

All great things begin with a dream.

The "White Riot"/"1977" double-whammy single is possessed of more than enough collective energy to power the entire UK grid when channeled through Joe Strummer, who pulsates, twitches, throbs, spits, and tics like the nightmarish offspring of a tragic one-night stand between Reddy Kilowatt and Patty Duke as Helen Keller in “The Miracle Worker,” Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, and Terry Chimes knees up and going for broke. Anything less would have been unacceptable, unforgivable, and inconceivable.




Along with "Brand New Cadillac," the two best things about "London Calling," the band white hot and storming the gates, lining 'em up and knocking 'em down. Then came "Sandinista!" and the dream went up in smoke. I've never quite gotten over it. Color me gullible.




Don't let the rode-hard-and-put-away-wet picture sleeve fool you. Topper's gathering-storm drum intro is a portent of what just may be the greatest cover ever (check back later when the caffeine rush wears off), the Clash grabbing Bobby Fuller's garage-rodent chestnut by the scruff of the neck and shaking. Hard.

[[deleted user]]

In a perfect world, classic-rock radio would spin more Big Star, Rory Gallagher, Fabulous Poodles, Velvet Underground, and Mott the Hoople. In a perfect world, they'd spin more Cheap Trick songs not named "I Want You to Want Me" or "Surrender." In a perfect world, they wouldn't spin any more Steve Miller, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Fleetwood Mac, or the Eagles. In a perfect world they'd widen their AC/DC scope to include a lot more of this album, like "Down Payment Blues" and "Up to My Neck in You" for starters.

But this world isn't perfect and there's only three and a half minutes until the traffic and weather report, so here's "You Shook Me All Night Long." Again.



Stays crunchy, even in milk.

As Rod Stewart readies "The Great American Songbook Volume V," here's three of his peers who quite fortunately never lost the plot, boozy, rooster-haired throwbacks whose albums are coated with grit and affection and overflow with time-honored chords which at times, due to a gloriously messy rhythmic sense, threaten to fall apart before snapping back into place.

If all three don't make you stop just short of playing air guitar, smoke cigarettes, drink to excess, and curse a lot, you're hopeless.
