They are awesome. Thanks for pointing me in that direction. I had never heard of them.

The new Mastodon album âMarrow Deepâ, the first after the death of guitarist Brent Hinds, is solid. Nothing earth shattering - itâs Mastodon and sounds like them, which is a good thing. I dig it.
Iâm on Kat Jonesâ mailing list, and she linked to a live jazz performance she did on a couple of songs with Kannon at The Underdog in Nashville. Sheâs got a powerful live voice, and it sounds like they had to dial her down in the mix.
In the days after 9/11, Bruce Springsteen was out driving. A man pulled up next to him at a light, rolled down the window and said âWe need you, Boss!â This is the resultâŚ.
Brilliant song. The Boss delivered.
I donât like this song much as itâs a much darker commentary on those days.
There is a fully instrumented version of the song, but here is the original acoustic version. đ ´
One of the best albums of the decade and a personal favorite from that period of my life of chaos.
Thirty years old today, released 9/17/1996.

A side project for a few members of Dawes, Rick from Goose, and a few others. Their 1st album comes out in October.
Obviously I immediately thought of you. Released this morning:
âGrowing up⌠watching the goth girls working the counter at JCPenney and giving goth makeovers to the old ladies, thatâs when I knew the only place I want to be is where the goth girls at. Teenage love, ainât it grand?â
Doing makeup at the mall like bad tattoos
Sterile eyes get blue applied persuasions
Trash heap, suburbs, no escape, not much to lose
Tongue tied, wrist tied, corset tight, I wannaNever felt so alive as the day I almost died
If you only knew
What only the goth girls doPeople like chewed bubble gum float in the pool
Smokinâ cloves, you the black catâs pyjamas
Are you really merry when you go round and round?
Iâll hold back your halo while you vomitNever felt so alive as the day I almost died
If you only knew
What only the goth girls doWhere the goth girls play
Sun donât chase them all away
Sun donât chase them all away
Sun donât chase them all away
Sun donât chase them all away
Sun donât chase them all away
From some reason âAdam Raised A Cainâ started playing in my head towards the end of my run this afternoon
< Location of Frankâs Barber Shop, on the means streets of Haddonfield, NJ, where the photos for Darkness ⌠and The River were shot >
Saw this, thought youâd appreciate it.
Awesome, thanks for the link.
The sun has set on October 1, we are in the Spooky Season
Off we go!!!
Yeah, thatâs my house in the thumbnail - I will update it when this yearâs decorations are complete
I started the playlist at 37 tracks, but I keep adding to it, as I hear or think of things âhey! This should be on there!!!â
So, itâs gotten a little ⌠lengthy
Hereâs a word about my ex-girlfriend
Towards the end conflict off and on
And I told her one night, âHoney every time we fight
Iâll write a verse to this song.âWell, things got bad, things got worse
Still I struggled on
So sit back and get all comfortable
'Cause this little tuneâs six fucking hours longâLandâs Edgeâ -DLR
Listening tonight, a couple things occurred to me which I never thought of before
âRoland the Headless Thompson Gunnerâ - Warren Zevon
When Roland found Van Owen âhe blew away his bodyâ Do you think Roland took Van Owenâs head to replace his own, in a Sleepy Hollow kinda way?
âLove Vigilantesâ - New Order
I always assumed he was a ghost come home
When I walked through the door
My wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand
And then I saw the telegram
Said that I was a brave, brave man
But that I was dead
Maybe the telegram was sent in error, and he was alive the whole time?
