This is entry number 5, and final, in my Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television challenge. The idea is/was, type each of George Carlin's Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television - shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfuckers and tits - into the search box of iTunes and see what comes up. This is the final entry because a) my inner adolescent boy has had a wank, rolled over and gone

Saturday, September 20th will see the triumphant Toronto return of the Greatest Rock N' Roll Band In The World. That's the night The Supersuckers will bring their rock/country/punk act to The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern in our fair city. Opening that night will be, well, Supersuckers Eddie Spaghetti and Jordan Shapiro. I've always loved the band, and there are few, if any, acts that can put on a live shows as entertaining as the Supersuckers. This is guaranteed to be the best bang for your entertainment buck that you can possibly ask for. [...]

In celebration, the band will be holding an anniversary show on November 29th at the Showbox Theatre in Seattle. Mudhoney and Zeke will join Eddie and the boys for the show.

Seattle's underground sensational punk rockers The Supersuckers announced yesterday on their myspace page that the band has reached their 20th year together tearing up the nation. Bassist/vocalist Eddie Spaghetti writes in the band's blog regarding their milestone: Well, not today but... Do you remember what you were doing 20 years ago? Well, we do - we were starting this little rock band called, at the time, The Black Supersuckers and the time has come to celebrate our still doing it 20 years later! That's right, it was around Thanksgiving in 1988 [...]

In honor of the resurrection of the World's favorite resurrection act , the missus and I took a brief sojourn to Atlantic City, to celebrate the original Nazz's teachings. In other words... gambling, intoxication and overindulgence. Atlantic City will never have the cachet of Las Vegas, the scam that was perpetuated upon the denizens of the Garden State will always be apparent. The casino's promised a rejuvenation of the area, but the only "second coming" A.C. has had is in the immediate area adjacent to [...]

My local independent record store closed last week. It had been open almost thirty years. The owner has been ill for several months, which may have been the deciding factor in closing the store. But I have no doubt that the store was mortally wounded by the popularity of downloading music, and the stifling grip of the big box retailers (who are now devoting less shelf space to CD's). Only

DOWNLOAD: Supersuckers - Killer Weed (MP3) Teenagers listen to an average of nearly 2.5 hours of music per day. Guess what they're hearing about? One in three popular songs contains explicit references to drug or alcohol use, according to a new report in The Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine. That means kids are receiving about 35 references to substance abuse for every hour of music they listen to, the authors determined. [ NY Times ]

I've been neglecting you all the last few days, but here is my mea culpa: My covers post I've been planning for some time which will span two days. There's an art to creating a great cover version of a song. At the same time, there are different ways of accomplishing the same task. Some choose to stay pretty true to the original (See Mindy Smith's version of Jolene featuring Dolly Parton singing backup - not included below). There are two ways of view this approach; the artist [...]
