Blog: Good Rockin' Tonight

Well I must admit that I don't know Jack Sh*T about these guys. Not Pubic Hair but Maclean and Maclean. The song has something to do with pubic hair. My wife introduced me to them and as much as I've searched the net, can't seem to find any info. But you must have this song because it's funny. These guys are Maclean and Maclean. Canadian dudes. That's all I know. Other songs I know by them are Dolly Parton's Tits and Fuck Ya . It's worthy though. I've Seen Pubic [...]

Tom Jones is going to be here in Victoria this summer and I sure as heck would like to go to the show. Tom Jones is cool man. Since the mid-'60s, Jones has sung nearly every form of popular music -- pop, rock, show tunes, country, dance, and techno, he's sung it all. Jones' following has never diminished over the decades; he was able to exploit trends, earning new fans while retaining his core following. How cool is that. Plus women love to throw their underwear to him on stage. I won't go on about his career you can find [...]

I liked the Boomtown Rats before that song about Mondays and how that girl didn't like em. I had their second album, A Tonic for the Troops , which I had found in the import bin and decided to give them a try. I really dug that song Rat Trap and found the whole album interesting. The Rats formed in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland. Bob Geldof(that Live Aid guy) was originally the manager, but eventually took over lead vocals. In November of 1978 Rat Trap reached number 1 in the UK and the Boomtown Rats became the first Irish [...]

Off Broadway was a late-'70s power pop group from Chicago. This band was similar to Cheap Trick with their quirky hopped-up melodies and catchy hooks. But they were doomed to obscurity because they did not have the personality or the hardness that Cheap Trick did. Opening for heavy metal acts didn't do much for their careers either, but they wrote catchy songs and managed to sell around 200,000 copies of their 1979 debut album, On. They may never have reached the big time but they are remembered quite fondly by power pop enthusiasts [...]

A while ago on a different blog that I write I mentioned some really gross stuff . Quit Stealing and leave a comment for crap sake. I saved a particular disgusting tidbit for it's own post. Just for the fact that I find it particularly disgusting. Now I have a song to go along with it. Somewhere in here. It's worth reading and findng the song. We all know about the dust mite that lives in our bedding and eats our dead skin cells. We don't like to think about them as we crawl [...]

Somewhere in this post is a song by the Guess Who. I really admire people that use the bus as their means of transportation. I ride the bus when the need arises and luckily we have a stop right outside our window. Maybe not so lucky because we get to hear those loud sons a bitches pull up and leave every 15 minutes. I've noticed all types of people ride the bus. I've also noticed more than a few weird critters on the bus. I would probably lose my mind if I rode it [...]

After the release of "Combat Rock" in 1982, The Clash were at odds. Mick Jones and Joe Strummer had a major battle about which direction the band should follow. Joe wanted more punk-rock in the music, while Mick had his votes on the more artistical way including more different kinds of music. So Mick left the band or he was fired depending on which story you hear. I was crushed. Strummer changed the line up and one more Clash album was released called "Cut the Crap", and half of it was kinda crappy. End of the Clash [...]

Jon Astley began his career as an assistant to Glyn Johns in 1973. In the late seventies he became a freelance engineer and produced the Who's Who Are You and Eric Clapton's Just One Night . It was Astley who took a 25 minute demo of the classic Who are You track and edited it down to a (still) epic 6 minute track. He turned his attention to North America in the 80's and produced Corey Hart's first two albums, and then signing to Atlantic records as a recording artist himself. Astley released three albums and [...]

So I got a hold of this CD called the Copulation Compilation about 6 years ago, and it's got like ten songs on it of the bawdy, raucous variety. So just for fun today I'm going to float this cut out there. The album contains various artists and this particular artist is Dr. Badbreath. I know nothing about this dude or when this was recorded or anything else. The only place I could find on the internet that had a copy of this CD was here . Ebay didn't even have any copies of it and [...]

This is an exclusive of the first variety. First being that it really strikes close to home. If you live in the states then go on to the next mp3 blog, you'll never get it. You wouldn't begin to understand the beauty and the meaning of this song. For those of you that like a good tune with heartfelt emotion, then you might like this one. Kinda counytrified and ballad like. Well Dammit, it's a song that was written by my wife. Not only did she write it, she is the vocalist. It's a song about Alberta, the province she [...]

We were America's sweethearts, but we weren't that sweet . - jane wiedlin I just love Jane Wiedlin. Even after all these years I still think she's just cute as a button. The Go Go's were okay, but I really liked her solo stuff a lot better. That squeaky little voice of hers gets me every time. But when she sings no squeakin there. The song for today comes from the album Tangled , one of my favorites. It was released in 1990. Jane's last album came out a few years [...]

Dean Martin. One of the coolest, smoothest dudes to ever croon out a tune. This is a cliche, but if dictionaries required an image to illustrate the word, this photo would be underneath cool. Dean Martin was less an entertainer than an icon, the eternal essence of cool. His biographer Nick Tosches once noted, Martin was what the Italians called a menefreghista -- "one who simply does not give a fuck." Martin lived and died the high life of booze, broads and bright lights, always projecting a sense of utter detachment and serenity. Deano left this world on [...]
