Never liked them growing up, but I did have Creatures of the Night and Ace's solo album. The drummer and bass player in my band LOVE them so I gave them another shot a few years ago and now I like something off of pretty much every album and I actually bought Sonic Boom. I think I'll be getting this one too.

Funny skit on SNL last night, featuring the song, and PSY.
The video is funny and catchy as hell, and SNL used it hilariously. Best season opener they've had in a looooooong time.

just ordered the version with bonus tracks yesterday. anxiously awaiting arrival. big fan.

I'm going to have to look back into his stuff. The only full album of his I have is Jumpin' Jive, but my band did pick up Is She Really Going Out With Him recently. Cool chords in that one.

Silk purse from a sow's ear. Cool look.

I'm right now working on a couple of songs for DOA next year (I'm not sure if I will be able to make it, but anyway...). Sadly, I'm missing the Chicago party but Gene, please, organize something in Washington with Dave. We need to do that one!
I'd love for a DC jam to happen. I'm a couple of hours away and would definitely attend that one.

Dave Alvin's Eleven Eleven
Totally cool!
^^^^
Cool. I can get it in NOS vinyl from Amazon for about $330. That's the last album with Bonzo, not counting post mortem collections, right?
Don't do it! I'll sell you my well-cared for copy for $320.
Seasick Steve's You Can't Teach an Old Dog New Tricks
It was almost over before I realized that was John Paul Jones on bass (I think).

Thanks for the reminder. I think I'll listen to that tomorrow.

On the "Best Year" topic, I think we all have our own definition of that. Mine is '79, although '76, '77, '78, and '80 were good for me too. I've had this discussion with MANY people over the years and it seems like a lot of us think the best year(s) in music was right around the time we were 13-17 years old. That's certainly true in my case.

Lots of Blackberry Smoke. Saw them last Thursday and again last night. GREAT band!

Thank you all for voting!
It was a good time. About 15 kids ages 7-12 and all special needs kids. I let 5 kids play. I showed them a strumming pattern and hung the guitar on them while I barchorded A/G/E for them. The group clapped and we would play about 8 to 12 bars. Grins all around and a couple short small smiles from one who never seemed to smile. I had Dean guitar stickers for everyone and guitar picks for those who played. one of them seemed super excited he could keep it. One guy was really disappointed he did not get to play but he still had a good time too. To soon it was over and summer school was over for them.
Life IS Good!
Sounds awesome! You're one of the good ones.

I just saw the LEMMY movie last night so it's been a Kilmister binge all day. Motörhead and I go back together until around 1981-1982 when I was twelve and first heard them. My parents did not allow me to go and see them live then, but I have seen them at least a dozen times through out the years. Great band. Had it's ups and downs. My fav record is Another perfect day, a bit un orthodox perhaps, (and Ace of Spades of course).
Another Perfect Day is my favorite too. The songs may not have been as "Motorhead" as the earlier albums, but I think most people would have to concede the guitar playing was probably the best they've ever had. YMMV.

My top 10;
1 Black guitars always sound more metal than any other colour.
2 Ebony fingerboards sound more metal than rosewood or maple because they're blacker.
3 A zebra, covered, or cream pup in the bridge position will ruin your metal rhythm tone. It has to be black.
4 The only reason Hamer Standards have white or M.O.P. logos/fret markers is that if they used black inlay, you wouldn't see it against the black headstock. Or the ebony board.
5 Cream or white binding - plus chrome hardware - is reluctantly permissible - but only because the contrast makes your black guitar look way blacker.
6 The flightcase has to be black as well. Any non-blackness will seep into your axe during transit and make it less metal.
7 So does the strap.
8 And your picks. Hard playing with a .88mm Tortex will deposit an extra layer of black dust between your neck and bridge pups, increasing the fullness of the tone and reducing dangerous non-metal resonances.
9 If you insist of giving your axe a name, make sure it's 'Blackie', 'Dark Lord' or something similar. Anything less will cause the guitar to worry that it isn't metal enough.
10 Any questions - see point 1.
none more black

Gene, love ya but I don't see anything wrong with Dave's behavior in that clip. In fact, I thought it all kicked ass.
I was waiting for a KAPOW-worthy moment but didn't see it either. I think we all still kind of expect the worst when Eddie and Dave get together.

Dang! I have tickets to the Hampton, VA show in July. I hope everything works out.

My wife likes my Seafoam Green Robin Revival.
NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

I think his insurance should pay for it and if not, you make sure you pay no more than store cost.

I was in a band that did Next To You and it went over well. I f'n LOVED playing it!

I turned 48 last week and got rid of all my V's. Oh wait, I didn't have any.
However, I do have a burst Standard and a Zandard, and I bought the pinkburst Dean Cadillac from David B a few weeks ago. Am I too old to play those in public? I think Rick Nielsen would agree you don't get too old to play crazy-looking guitars.

Wooooooooooow! Beautiful!

Angus is nowhere near as lively as he was in his younger days. Malcolm's exactly the same.
-
It's starting to look one of us is burglarizing the other's house. I have the guitar lamp you have on my computer desk, the Beatles prints in individual frames in my living room, and a Standard like that (except for a bound headstock).

What do I win for being so quick?
From the first 10 seconds, I was wondering if it would kick in heavier full-electric band style. When it finally did it was just a tease, but it makes me want to hear what happens next.
