I very much enjoy the Life Won't Wait ballads at least from a musical standpoint. However, it's hard to reconcile with the fact that it's a 30 year old singing about a 16 year old girl.
In the spirit of rockabilly.
Yeah, that reminds me of similar discussions we've had here and norms of the time. Then again late 90s were not the 50s. Also, you could easily speculate about Tim's controlling nature of her career. I don't know there is anything beyond speculation, but it's pretty easy.
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.

What's the background here, I haven't heard of this stuff.

Tim Armstrong met Brody Dalle when she was 16 and he was 30. They got married right when she turned 18, so fill in the blanks. There's allegations both ways, but her Distillers stuff is on his label, in his aesthetic and style which feels weird given their age difference and his prominence/power. She left him for Josh Homme after a few years.

Huh, I just thought she was a poser, I didn't know all this backstory.

Brody rules

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Agreed.

And I was driving around earlier running an errand blasting "And Out Come the Wolves".

Hello,

Ruby is a good wrestler/sports entertainer. She's not going to headline any big shows but she's good and dedicated - great to watch. It was really nice of Rancid to allow her to use Ruby Soho as her entrance music. Good on both of them (please forgive the excessive use of "good").

I'd like AEW to show 2 women's matches per episode instead of one. It's like the division moves in slow motion.

I was the one that leaked the Life Won't Wait demo to the Internet back in around 2003/2004. It was given out privately to a few people I trusted and then one of them fucked me over. It was funny to learn that later it was even pressed on vinyl! Give I ripped it from a tape using a walkman to the line-in of my shitty soundcard and I think even used dolby noise reduction on the walkman.

I still have the tape somewhere. I got it from a friend of Brodys that used to be in a band with her before the Distillers.

I remember it being my 'educated opinion' that Side B was the Silencers and everyone copied that assumption but in hindsight it makes no sense as they were a vanity band and Vic Ruggiero was on Life Wont Wait anyway.

If I find the tape again I will see if I can buy a decent tape deck and rip it better.
