Well I'm back and my son Liam's part of my summer is over. The old lady and I are gonna relax, watch movies and hope that the hotest part of it is over. Actually we have been getting a fair amount of rain so the grass and weeds are growing like crazy and there's been lots of mowing to do. The garden has done/is doing well with tomatoes, jalepeno, onions and cilantro. Yeah you guessed it, salsa ingredients. Actually only made one batch so far but the wife has been eating tomatoes like candy and we've been giving plenty of stuff away. Between this post and the last one you kind of get the idea of what's been up this summer.
Kim, Liam and I at a rest stop on the Colorado/Kansas border along I-70 on the way to the Denver airport.
One of my favorite shots of Liam this summer with my horse Cherokee.
My buddy from work, "Big Chris" at the Rooks County Fair. Actually all my friends and the old lady's as well are people we work with. Chris is my teacher in the fine arts of repairing vehicles that are old and falling apart, junk food appreciation (do you guys have Little Debbies snacks where you live?), and fishing.
Chris turned Liam and I onto a spot at the Webster Lake where the fish weren't big but they wouldn't leave us alone. Actually the Blue Gill and White Bass don't get huge but people say they're good eating. We threw all ours back so they could damn us for having tricked them.
Grandma and the granddaughter at the Fair enjoying the sites, sounds and a Sponge Bob stuffed toy. If you live in rural America you know that fairs are a big part of the summer. Most of the fairs suck but the one we go to every year has good rides, good food and a carnival complete with the always interesting carnies. Liam actually goes to two fairs as the one in the county north of us, where several cousins live, has a good scene going on too.
Well now that I've bored you with my life... I almost forgot what this site is mostly about, music. Now bear with me because I've got some music business to clear up before we get to the main post. You guys were really cool (you've probably forgetten about me in my absence, except for those who are addicted to downloading without commenting) and had lots of great comments during my semi vacation and left me with some directions to go in my never ending search for good music. My old bro Ed on the Kiss post had mentioned that there was one damn good cover of "God of Thunder" that I left out, shit if it wasn't the Melvins. Check their awesome version.
My friend Fernando stopped by and when discussing the Runaways, Suzi Quatro came up. Anybody remember her? Leather Tuscadero. Actually she's had a massive musical career going back to the early 70's and I guess was a lot bigger in the UK and Australia. The only thing I have by her is the Rock Hard lp (on cassette) and my favorite tune has always been "Lipstick". You gotta listen to that.
Fernando mentioned some more of her classics, couldn't agree more, and until I get around to posting an album you get to sample those too.
Now onto the actual post.
Don't let all that banter up there take anything away from these guys because they are the real deal. Straight up hardcore. You may remember them from my previously posted No Control At The Country Club live comp 7". Well a new buddy of mine, Tim, the singer, found that and we kind of struck up a conversation. Thanx to him, you get this later 7" from 1997. Flex calls it "Raw and thrashy hardcore. Similar to their older stuff" and I couldn't agree more. Up to this point I've been too busy and maybe a bit lazy to post the LP I have of theirs. Funny that a very old friend of mine, Bob of Deep Six Records is the one who put this out. Anyway Tim is a damn cool guy and I've talked enough so get to this. Thanx again Tim.
