'74-'75 is one of my alltime fave "nostalgia" songs.

I really dislike that one

As long as we're talking regionally, more or less - Cowboy Mouth. I always assumed they were very popular... Then I moved away from Louisiana.

I heard Jenny Says on Sirius last week and was shocked as hell.

Unified Theory was a later project of the bassist and guitarist, and their one record was top 5 album the year it came out if not the best. The singer for that sounded like a cross of Jeff Buckley and Shanon Hoon.



Check them out here. It's a shame they only had one record.


They actually pht out a second album several years ago, butbit wasn't nearly as good. Singer's name is Chris Shinn. His father was the owner of the Hornets that moved them to New Orleans before having to sell the team. Chris is a great singer and a pretty good guitarist to boot. He had a solo project named Everything Is Energy that was really good.

Now he is the singer for Live.

Slint was great, but their style was never going to get very popular. They did influence a lot of good music.

Love

Yes. I mean yes to Love ... not the group Yes.

Love was cursed by, well, lots stuff. Shoulda/coulda/woulda been a R'nR HOF band.

Here are some lyrics I wrote in homage to Hendrix, Sly Stone and Arthur Lee in a song called "The Legendary, Incendiary Psychadelic Free":

Arthur Lee, acid poet,
unto himself a trip,
Afro-shaman pied piper
of the Sunset Strip,
the hip and tuned in dug his sound,
cast a musical spell,
but a bullshite rap
left him trapped
in a prison cell ...

RIP A. Lee.

The Mars Volta wrote two amazing CDs.

Then the guitar player got full of himself and ignored the other amazing musicians around him and acted like a little Hitler causing the drummer made for that band, Jon Theodore, to leave. Each record after the first two sucked more and more.

I loved that band. They were gonna be innovative and destroy conventional rock and roll and be the new Led Zeppelin in my eyes. Instead I'm left with only two amazing CDs and a bunch of what ifs.

Social Distortion


I think they made it pretty big considering the music they play. A couple of main stream hits, a large cult following, and a long career spanning a couple of decades isn't bad.

Elbow should be bigger in America. 95% of the time I discuss their music, noone knows who they are. They are huge in the UK.
