Thong Song

No, not THAT thong song. Anyway.... this is one of my most favorite records. The first time I heard "50 Million Year Trip", uh... well nothing happened. I just really liked the song.
I strongly suggest searching out the rest of great Kyuss catalog, and if you happen to have any live material you can pass my way... let me know! If you enjoy this band, you WILL like... QOTSA, Hermano, The Desert Sessions, Fu Manchu, Mondo Generator, The Screaming Trees, and the new Gutter Twins record among many many other things. Like air, and food.
I will likely post some desert sessions stuff at some point (let me know if you are interested and Ill get it on here sooner). The earlier DS stuff can be hard to find.

but ill never forget you....

The first of two posts for the evening! Here is some LIVE Kyuss for you to rock out to.
The recording isn't great, but it's far better than some I have heard, and also better than no live Kyuss at all. So don't complain (unless you hate Kyuss... then just shut up.).

Im not going to post a track listing to this, because I am really lazy today and don't feel like typing it out. Pretty much everything you could ask for is there though.

Auntie Em! It's a Twister!

Meet Brian Barnes. Brian is a Storm Chaser, one of those crazy guys that runs around the Midwest's "Tornado Alley" studying storms. He also runs storm watching tours through Violent Skies Tours where you can go with them, and see these monstrous thunderstorms first hand.

Brian made the news recently while working in Crane's County Texas. A sherrif's deputy decided that Brian was endangering himself and others while parked on the side of the road taking data on the storm for the NWS (National Weather Service). After explaining what he was doing there, he was told by the officer said the he didnt care, and that he needed to go.
Brian didnt go... so he was arrested and later released on a $2000 bond. Here is a link with a bit more depth from KWES News I think that this is a blatant abuse of power, and was completely unnecessary. I wasn't there, but I think I have a pretty good idea of how that went down, and i think its bullshit.

Anyway, the other reason I posted this, is that I have always wanted to record a good thunderstorm. Both Audio and Video. Now my plan is to someday record a storm out on the plains in HD video, and record the audio to mix to Surround Sound. How awesome would it be to watch that on a huge flatscreen TV with 5.1 ? Super Awesome, thats how.

Institutionalized

In honor of the awesome Iron Man movie... I give you Suicidal Tendencies. The song "Institutionalized" is played while Tony constructs the suit. You can also find this track in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (PS1) Fred Durdst also references the song and the band on Limp Bizkit's first Major release "Three Dollar Bill Yall$". Dont hate me for knowing that. You knew it too.
