Goodbye To Another Year

                               



                                 

Who'd we Lose?

This'll be my last post for 2017. Show me some love for those we lost this year.

Wandering Aimlessly

Since It's That Time Of Year...

...I'm only going to put up a Sunday thread this week.  Play what you will... songs about the Solstice, the Saturnalia, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Christmas, and songs about everything or songs about nothing at all.

How Old Folks Dance

Forget that shit you've seen on TV. Forget those memories of Mom and Dad dancin' in black and whites. Lemme fill ya in on how this works.

You sit in your chair. A tune comes on, and you realize your toe's a' tappin'. Sounds good, and soon your ankle's doin' the base beat.

On up it goes, and you notice your knee's now into it. Now I have to skip the tingling of the private parts and all that, but you know where this goes.

You can't/won't/don't wanna get up, but you have to admit, you're Dancin' in yer Bones. Your heart's now keeping beat. Even your blinking is synced.

See what that means?

Those of us who do it, know it.

Keep Dancin' in yer Bones.

Hey! You Busy?

I've got xxx amount of data accumulated on 9-11. Sandy Hook, Boston Marathon, OKC Bombing, Las Vegas, etc. that I need to find an emergency shelter for, or it's gone.

You see, #2's just grown too old, slow, and worthless to justify the peddling (if you knew anything about how we generate electricity here in the cornfield, you'd understand).

So I gotta move #3 into #2's slot. But #3's got it's own load.

Ok. I digress.

I'm gonna miss all the shit I'll lose. But it's ok. Three years from now I won't even remember I had it in the first place.

Pretty lame way to say "I've been busy, and won't really be around for a little more", huh?

The King of Cool was born on this day in 1943...

And he ain't dead yet.  Must've sold his soul...

Let's raise a glass to Keith on his birthday.

It's All About Soul

And water.  Got to have the water. 

Sing it, Rev...

Timeless?

The motto of a website that I keep as a homepage on one of my beauties reads:

On a long enough timeline, the survival rate of everyone drops to zero.

(Please, for your own safety and sanity, don't ever read the comments there.)

Anyway, I'm lying in bed the other night (which is probably the last place I should be thinkin'), and I'm wonderin' why things get the "Timeless" label, and who gets to determine that?

So give me a tune you thing should get the award.

My choice at the moment?

Let 'er rip.

Jan Hammer

I've got some Jam Hammer to get outta the way, so today's the day.

A Bit Of History For This Monday In December

It's been said that The Velvet Underground only sold 1,000 albums when they were still playing together, but that every single one of those albums were purchased by other musicians, which is how they became such a major influence on the music scene in spite of never hitting the big time.  .  

On this date in 1965, The Velvet Underground played their first show, opening for another band at a high school in New Jersey.  They played three songs that night; There She Goes Again, Heroin and this one...

Gotta wonder what those high school kids were thinking once the band began to play.  

Seven Deadly Sins...

... Or Seven Deadly Finns?


Feels like a good day to be goofy...

Anybody Got a Problem?

Ok. So here's what I figure:

One of these days I'm gonna be walkin' around the house naked, shittin' all over the place wherever I go. Probably pissin' & droolin' too. Mrs. 17's gonna be crawlin' behind me, tryin' to clean up my mess. Poor woman. :(

Sooner or later someone's gonna decide to put me in a bed somewhere, and I'm gonna get to live out the rest of my life lyin' in a bed playing guitar in Disneyland with Zeppelin.

Anybody got a problem with that?

Not Too Shabby

I'm not in any particular mood today, so I'm just gonna throw some shit out there and see what floats.

Where There's Smoke...

On this day in 1971, Frank Zappa and The Mother's Of Invention played a concert at the Montreaux Casino in Switzerland.  Also in Montreaux on that day were Deep Purple, who were planning to record an album at the entertainment complex that was a part of the Montreaux Casino, using a mobile studio that belonged to The Rolling Stones.

During the Zappa and The Mothers show, some moron shot off a flare gun in the theater, which started a fire that burned down the entire entertainment complex and destroyed all the Mothers' equipment. The fire also inspired one of the best damn Rock 'N Roll songs.

The title refers to the reflection of the fire on the waters of Lake Geneva.

All Hail The Christmas Demon

I'm not a big fan of Christmas but I do love Krampus, the half man - half goat demon who punishes wicked children with beatings and coal.  Since Krampusnacht (December 5) is almost upon us, I thought it would be fun to dedicate this Sunday thread to the demons among us, Christmas or otherwise.  So post your favorite songs about these devilish beings, and don't forget to leave a glass of schnapps out for Krampus on Tuesday night.

Disclosure

So I'm checkin' out this porn vid, and the 2nd thing (or was it the 3rd?) that I notice is tonight's featured tune in the background. (Really, honey. I don't know what I might have clicked on. Must be a virus!)

A-searchin' I go to find the name or the artist, but it rarely works that way in porn (or so I'm told).

Now I'm wonderin', and it hits me! "Hey Siri, what's this song?"

Turns out Siri knows alot about porn apparently, because I swear she was havin' an orgasm when she shot back with; "Ooh! I know this one! It's Ex Machina by George Gousis!"

Poor Siri's got her work cut out for her now, so any slowdowns you suffer can be blamed on me.

The moral of the story? Be smart like Siri and get great tunes by watching more porn.

(Insert horny winking drooling smiley face here)

Oh. Almost forgot. Smokin' Purple Jager tonight.
