Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
A musical admission: I'm wanting to like Scowl's new songs a lot more than I am. Such a great hardcore debut, but the new songs sound like they want to be Hole. Not a terrible aim, I guess, but not nearly as exciting as that first album.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

LFO (of "Summer Girls" fame) probably takes the cake now: 3 of the 4 members are dead (one of cancer at 36, one of cancer at 41, and another one at 47 for reasons that haven't been disclosed).Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Mar 2023, 2:04pmMan, that is jaw-dropping to see the ages listed like that.

Of everyone who played in the band from their founding in 1964 until their plane crash in 1977, only Ricky Medlocke, Greg Walker, and Artemis Pyle remain. 12 members total, so a mortality rate of 75%.
Sure, the Beatles have a mortality rate of 50%, but there were only 4 members.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Just filed my tax return and with some of the refund I splurged on this: https://rocket88books.com/products/too- ... ed-edition
(I also had a discount coupon from them, which knocked some money off.)
To be more practical, I also bought a new tool kit so I can pretend to be handy.

I've had that book for a while now. But unlike you I bought it in a sale for about £15.00.

Very important update: Kid Rock, Travis Tritt, and now The Offspring are all taking sides in the great Bud Light/Jack Daniels culture war of 2023:
