Looming...

 No love this time,

don't mind me,

just happily warding off the evil eye.

(ask Ronnie James Dio,

he'll tell you it's true)

Feeling Sweden (thanx for the pics B)

and just found this never seen by me, live video, of Sayyadina.

A long time virtual Swedish pal of mine.

Peter, of the indominable Isotope Soap,

turned me onto them years ago.

In fact,

it may have been pretty close to the time that this vid was recorded,

in 2006.

Thank you Peter!

Ove Wiksten is on drums,

and he is right up there with Mick Harris from Napalm Death,

as far as maniacal drumming!

Dante holding a copy of his Divine Comedy.

I don't know about that punishment in hell shit,

but he knew a lot about human nature,

and how scary we can be at times.

My favorite song off this epic album.

Ron Kuka (RIP) turned me onto Terrorizer when this came out in 1989.

My 1970 Chevy C10 that I had back in college.

It may not look like much,

but it was my fucking truck.

When I moved to San Diego,

after I got married (the 1st time),

I drove it down from Humboldt,

loaded with all of our worldly possessions.

The shocks were terrible,

and I can vividly remember bouncing along,

driving on the Golden Gate Bridge.

Must have been quite a sight...hahah.

Ron also turned me onto Fear of God in 1988,

and I gotta say it was a spiritual moment for me...hahah.

I was seriously blown away,

asking myself...Is this for real?

It may have had to do with the copious amounts acid and mushrooms,

I had consumed previously that year in Humboldt.

Mind expansion bro!

Saw this in the theater in 1982,

and the other night revisited it.

Best scene in the whole movie!

"he is the everlasting sky,

your god lives underneath him"

This song is a reminder that you're at RdM...hahah!

Sayyadina

Terrorizer

Fear of God

(BAM)

Neil Young!!!

"well don't relax too much,

times going by ya know."

Good night y'all...

"tallest dwarf in the circus"

Mom & "the Buddha Baby"

Jimi Hendrix - Manic Depression Live on BBC Late Night Line Up...On April 17, 1967

Fave tune by these guys!

Mom turned my onto them sometime in the mid to late 70s,

with this bootleg of his last show in LA 1970.

Shout out to all the relics out there

few in number, but strong in my heart.

(the above GIF is for my pal deutsche!

...you remember brother :-)

This month is a heavy one for old Mostaza aka Mustard

Graham, as my Son called her,

would have been 76 this month.

Missed beyond measure.

She would also be stoked, I think,

to know I've been doing this blogging thing for 17 years now.

There were a few brief breaks,

and some major changes over time,

by forces from within and without,

but it's still mostly music and Mustard mumblings.

*self explanatory graphic of Scooby riding in a Vdub Bug.

19 fucking 78...what were you listening to? 

Whatever it was, put it away and listen to what was going on, 

somewhere in Australia at the same time.

For god's sake this is just a rehearsal

and they're fucking anvil hard!

SPK SPK SPK OK!

Speaking of Scooby earlier,

Shag and Scoob are 55 this year.

The graphic above is the OG Shaggy from 1969!

Courtesy of my benefactor Phil

got to see this guys in Denver last weekend.

They were popular in the very early in the 2000s

but I was getting my drinking started daily very early in those days.

This was another live version of my favorite song that night.

Being the beat up brain damaged old man that I am,

we found a spot were we could sit and enjoy the show.

I think that's when Phil told me I was...

the tallest dwarf in the circus...hahah.

Cheers Phil!

I'm busy digging it...

Carbs for the RugBug via my long time pal Stovepipe

This is how you play rock n roll at breakneck speeds!

Mr. Pickles sez fare thee well...

"Edgelords"

 

This here is Tigger.

He enjoys just sitting there and staring at me

with those crazy eyes.

I feel like that in the world

where everyone is eyeballin' me.

Heaps of information provided at a glance

as we cross paths momentarily.

Move on about your business, man!

"they're all the same"

Don't think I've ever posted the Misfits on either blog.

I had several tapes, but this was the only actual vinyl I've ever had

(except some bootlegs).

Say whatever you want about Danzig

but these guys were some serious fucking hardcore

back in the day.

Favorite songs by the Misfits are Bullet and...

All Hell Breaks Loose

Walls start closing in around you

My twins of evil

They shake you by the collarbone

Then snap your rib cage

And broken bodies in a death rock dance hall

Please be my partner

Eyeballs pop, accelerated blood beat

Veins a-shaking

And all hell breaks loose

Yea, evil is as evil does and who

Yea, who but me could write this book of cruel

I send my murdergram

To all these monster kids

It comes right back to me and it's

Signed in there parents' blood

And all hell breaks loose

Yea, my heart is a-breaking loose

Yea, my whole world's breaking loose

Yea, and evil is as does and who

Yea, but who but me could write this book of cruel

I send my mudergram

To all these monster kids

It comes right back to me and it's

Signed in their parents blood

And broken bodies in a death rock dance hall

Please be my partner

And eyeballs pop, accelerated blood beat

Veins a-shaking

And all hell breaks loose

Yea, my heart is a-breaking loose

Yea, my whole world's breaking loose

Yea, evil is as evil does and who

Yea, but who but me could write this book of cruel

I said my whole world's breaking loose

Yea, my whole world's breaking loose

Yea, my whole world's breaking loose

Yea, my whole world's breaking

All hell breaks loose

There's something oddly attractive about Phyllis...hahah.

I've certainly been a weedhead and a tramp

among many other charming things in my life

(if you're gonna do something, do it well).

At my worst of times,

right before and after the new millennium,

for a couple months I "dated" this crackhead gal named Victoria.

She had the addiction thing going as bad as I did with the bottle,

but crackheads are sketchy fuck.

I doubt she's still alive,

although I hope she made it

because beyond the addiction and beneath the suffering

was a good heart.

Having a Booker moment...

I was over in Aberdeen

On my way to New Orlean

I was over in Aberdeen

On my way to New Orlean

Them Aberdeen women told me

Will buy my gasoline

Hey, two little women

That I ain't ever seen

They has two little women

That I ain't never seen

These two little women

Just from New Orlean

Ooh, sittin' down in Aberdeen

With New Orlean on my mind

I'm sittin' down in Aberdeen

With New Orlean on my mind

Well, I believe them Aberdeen women

Gonna make me lose my mind, yeah

Aber-deen is my home

But the mens don't want me around

Aberdeen is my home

But the men don't want me around

They know I will take these women

An take them outta town

Listen, you Aberdeen women

You know I ain't got no dime

Oh-oh listen you women

You know'd I ain't got no dime

They been had the po' boy

All up and down.

The BartBug!

The RugBug will be cooler

and I won't have to eyeball folks either...hahah.

You're either in the know or not when it comes to those kinds of things.

This one is for my pal Elliott,

who probably knows I've posted this one from Watchmaker before.

What would you call this niche in the music world,

other than just brutal as fuck?

Therapeutic Dirt Nap (another song of theirs from this album)

is one of the best song titles ever!

sPot!

This goes out to a pal of mine,

one of several, out there, in this wide world,

virtual and in person,

who know that old Mustard is a slow learner.

I'm still wondering when the wisdom of age kicks in...hahah!

Anyway...

Smiles and laughter to all y'all :)
