Hump Day Tuneage

by the subway philosopher™

On occasion, celebrating the midweek hump with a meticulously curated selection of the most disrespectful, impolite, disgraceful, badass, head-banging, disturbing, irreverent, rebellious, or most enjoyable 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!

I first heard of Jif peanut butter when I saw it on the dusty back shelves of an East Asian supermarket a decade or so ago. I distinctly recall thinking that Jif must be the local version of Jiffy. Subsequently I discovered there is no Jiffy peanut butter in this world. In 2007 I visited New Zealand and was shocked to discover that the islands lie southeast of Australia, not northeast as I fondly remembered from geography textbooks. Another so-called false memory involves the Soundgarden video below. The version I watched dozens of times, and vividly remember, featured Chris Cornell on the cross. The current ‘official’ video was utterly strange to me on first viewing a couple of years ago, and remains so. I can offer no explanation for any of this. But the song still kicks ass.

Driving the nails. Soundgarden – Jesus Christ Pose

You don’t even know. IAN HUNTER – Bastard

A classic. Deep Purple – Child In Time

Heavy. Pantera – Walk

Heavier. Dying Fetus – Wrong One to Fuck With
