Folks on social media use filters so they can look pretty...
Life's not been good for you
It's just not fair
You did nothing to deserve it
You did nothing at all
Sit back and watch
It turns from bad to worse
No matter how loud you cry
It always hurts
Boy I'm glad I'm not in your shoes
How could things
Get any worse for you?
You're so fucking alone
How could things
Get any worse for you?
I don't blame you
When you piss and moan
Everybody gets
What you should've got
Everybody takes
Your opportunities
Everybody gets
The breaks that belonged to you
Everybody takes
Your just desserts
Life's not been good for you
It's just not fair
I've got some news for you
Nothing is fair
I wish there was a way
To make it all better
I pray for a way
To make you happy
Cause I'm sick and I'm tired
Of your whining, complaining, and bitching and moaning
Boo fucking hoo
Had these two 7"s listed on Discogs for around $50 apiece and thought to myself, nah, I need to send these to my Son. Too classic and you get street cred for having them in your collection. Have I ever shared the seller terms that I have with every record I have up for sale?
PLEASE READ and abide or go somewhere else to buy your records...
All records have been collected by me over the last 40+ years, I am not a store and therefore, I ship when my work schedule permits. They are all subject to the living conditions I have enjoyed (endured) for those 40+ years...back when you could smoke in record stores that had incense constantly burning (some even sold paraphernalia). This includes, but is not limited to, cigarettes (and other smokables), incense, dogs, cats and other odors, including a fart or two...the reek of my life, you might say. They've seen some things. There may also be dust and/or a dog/cat hair or two included at no extra charge. I hear tell that if you put a dryer sheet in the plastic sleeve for a week, it kills the odor and smells like it just got out of the dryer. Records are visually graded and not play tested, as I do not have a working turntable. All items shipped in brand new mailers and the item will be wrapped in bubble wrap. Please contact me before leaving neutral or negative feedback, as I will work with you to make it right. As a buyer, it is a simple job, pick what you want and pay. If you do this and you leave positive feedback for me, I will do the same for you. If you have a problem with any of this then I'm sure you can find someone else to buy records from. Thank you!
It's a trippy 7" taken as a whole, but the 1st tune, Cranked Up, has some of the most insane hardcore punk drumming ever. Seriously so and so much so, that I think this is not the first time I've mentioned it...nor will it be the last...hahah
A terrible photo of a Yellow-billed Cuckoo...I posted it to iNaturalist, which is a site I encourage anyone similarly inclined, who takes pics of the natural world, to join/participate in. It's been hot as fuck here, and right before I took this photo, the bowl was filled with about 20 bathing Starlings. Then this guy/gal landed and chased 'em all off. It was comical and my chuckling delayed what would have been a really cool video/picture. According to Professor Big Shawn, who got me into iNatuarlist, this is actually an elusive bird, so I'm guessing, with all the heat, a bath "alone" to cool off, was in order...hahah.
I just love these guys, could put them on every post and feel good about it. I do regret not going to see them while I lived up North there, 5 hours drive is really a small price to pay to have gotten an opportunity to be amazed by a live performance..
I know it's grainy as shit, but I like this one for the texture and the bird as more of a silhouette. So much so that it's now the header to the blog. According to the professor, there's an 80% chance that it's a Killdeer (what a great name for a band)
I can appreciate Jamaican music and the evolution of such over the years. I've made two CDr mixes featuring all kinds of Jamaican tunes that spans something like 60 years, and this tune will definitely be on a 3rd (if that ever comes to fruition). I like that last line, "survival is the game". It's a rough fucking world out there.
Mr. P tying to help me decide if it's the 5/8s wrench I need, while working on the mower this past weekend. It's Tuesday night and hoping all y'all, with or without have consumed a good tune or two in this post, have some measure of peace and happiness in your lives.
There are so many people in my family I could dedicate Sob Story to. We have a lot of neurosis. Thankfully I'm just blind and a bit strange! I don't own a turntable at the moment (well I do, but it's in storage somewhere) but if you sell cds and/or tapes, I'll buy something. Great music, and always great to hear from you. It's high summer hell in the high desert, and we're getting monsoon conditions. So it's humid and rainy and a lot of thunder. It's been...well, it's been hot! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteYeah the tune means much more to me now then when I first was listening to it...done plenty of boohooing over the years...hahah. Consider a care package on the way Elliott, just email me you =r address again. Thanks for being around dude.
