On occasion, celebrating the midweek hump with an eclectic selection of the most disrespectful, impolite, disgraceful, head-banging, disturbing, badass, depraved, rebellious, decadent, kick-butt rock n roll of its time feels like a perfectly responsible thing to do, for some reason. Or no reason at all. Crank it up!
Rock n roll is like sex, and blues is like drugs. – Johnny Golden Rock (professional guitarist)
Hell of a Deal. The Breeders – Cannonball
More than ever. In Flames – Cloud Connected

I ‘m still trying to figure out how I DJ’ed for 50 years and never heard of these groups.
Likely ’cause a DJ’s audience is for dancing or for pop tunes. Head Bangers don’t get their fix from DJ’s
Cuz you played shit music of course…
One of the very few watchable things I ever saw on PBS (before I ditched cable entirely) was Zakk Wylde doing an intimate acoustic set at The Iridium in New York City on “Front and Center” which included a spellbinding acoustic rendition of “Stillborn”.
I can’t understand what she’s saying on the 1st one. Tinnitus sucks but usually not that bad.
Very good set list. I just can’t get into BLS with Zakk’s harmonics all over everything and to me they seem to just be a copy of Trouble.
Late to the game today, so here’s a classic –

Someone else remembers the Breeders. My sister was a massive fan of Belly in the early 90s. Of course, Tonya Donelly and Kim Deal were in Throwing Muses together after Kim was with the Pixies.
My first concert (courtesy of said sister–bday present) was Radiohead and Belly at the Glen Miller Ball Room on the CU Boulder campus. Was October of ’93, not long after the release of Radiohead’s debut Pablo Honey. Amazing show and memory.
