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...
