been listening to AC DC a lot... why more bands don't play their mix of raw back to the roots rock'n'roll i cannot understand..this album is just fabulous.. kick ass fun raunchy... "let there be rock" from 1977.... the title tracks tells the story of rock and even pays tribute to chuck berry..these guys had it going on!!!! and what can you say about the better known album tracks such as bad boy boogie, problem child, hell ain't a bad place to be, and whole LOTTA rosie! classics... how modern rock could get so messed up as it is currently is beyond me.. what a boring tripe compared to Bon Scott AC DC.. where is the fun in modern music i ask you?

mmmmmmmmmmhh..yum yum

these converse chuck taylor's ...

i just got are so comfy... YAHHHHHHHH!

last night in buenos aires andres calamaro hoists the gardel prize (argentine grammy) he won for best album for his el regreso live album!

look its baseball!

yup.. MLB is back..not optimistic about the washington nationals and their chances this year....letting loaiza go was crazy.... you don't let great starters like that go.....on top of that getting soriano was by all accounts a mistake.. a troublemaker whose power hitting won't work at RFK..... then on top of that injuries such as to ayala during the world baseball classic..nagging injuries to guillen and a few others players and it would be a miracle if they do make those 72 wins that vegas is projecting..

unless new ownership finally comes on board and invests some money to earn the local fans good graces..


and to boot we still can't even watch the nats games on tv in dc due to some squabble or some such between comcast and angelos.. i don't even really understand how that could not have been resolved yet... seems all parties would benefit from a settlement... at worse there should be a binding forced settlement or the rights to the games should be abdicated to a third party who will show the games...

Eric Lewis at HR57

caught an eric lewis performance at hr 57 this saturday night..boy that guy can play the piano.... absolutely fabulous.... can't wait to catch him again..highly recommended jazz gig.. he's got a web site at www.ericlewisgroove.com ... aparently he knows antonio parker.. i would think them recording together would be absolutely smoking....wonder if they have done it or thought about it?

now playing: emotional rescue..1980 album by the stones..some great stuff here...not sure why this album got so panned upon release.... dance pt 1 is a great tune as are let me go and send it to me....and thats just on the first side..."emotional rescue" and "she's so cold" were the main singles and still get airplay live... "dance" is a great groover..i have two copies of this including the original which came with a huge and i mean huge foldout (like 16 panels) poster of these heatseeking photos.."where the boys go" features some new wave style female backing vocals..hilarious stuff... "down in the hole" even reminds me of dylan with its "will all your money buy you forgiveness.." liness..

now playing
