How about Steely Dan, the band that forged our Fagen jokes:
"I'm a fool to do your Dirty Work Ohhh Yeah"

Footnote: Anyone else notice that the Levi's commercial with the guy making a replica of his pants to give to his girlfriend has FNM's version of Easy?
Anyone else miss when adcritic was free?

seen it, and noted

I don't know how I got on this FNM kick, but I'm listening to nothing else these days...
I currently have my collection on shuffle, I hate to say that I'd forgotten about "Woodpecker From Mars"... wow.
Posted by dawnbixtler on 2005-08-05 20:33:27 +0000
With burkee away, it has been nothing but Led Zep vinyl.
I,II, and III played very loud.
I should probably pick up Physical Graffti on vinyl one of these days
Posted by rladew on 2005-08-05 20:51:49 +0000
Havent dropped The Real Thing into the stereo in years, but after I saw the Woodpecker From Mars bit, all I could think of were the lyrics to another tune that I cant remember the name of on that album:
Hey look at me lady Im just a little baby, hug me and kiss me and wipe my butt and piss me..

Jackie and I were watching the "Dirty Jobs" show late last night.
The host was cleaning up a poo explosion in a household basement (somehow the town sewage erupted through one particular basement toilet - blecch! feces caked on everything - had to remove the drywall and remove all kinds of mold as well)

I am not yet convinced that a newborn baby is not unlike a "poo explosion".

I have Diana Ross, singing "Love Hangover" stuck in my head...

(did a blanket replacement for the words "love" and "hangover", and the results are making me almost wet my pants)

[i]Ah

I don’t want it
Don’t want it
If there’s a remedy
I’ll run from it
From it
Think about it all the time
Never let it out of my mind
’cause I poo you
I’ve got the sweetest explosion
I don’t wanna get over
Sweetest explosion
Yeah, I don’t wanna get over
I don’t wanna get
I don’t wanna get...over
Ooh, I don’t need no cure
I don’t need no cure
I don’t need no cure
Sweet poopin’
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet poo
Sweet, sweet poo
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet poo
Don’t call a doctor
Don’t call her momma
Don’t call her preacher
No, I don’t need it
I don’t want it
Sweet poo, I poo you
Sweet poo, need poo
If there’s a cure for this
I don’t want it
I don’t want it no

Is a "poo explosion" better or worse than a shitstorm?
Posted by rladew on 2005-08-08 15:10:05 +0000
it is a poo explosion w/ Maddie in our household,
but the poo explosion on the TV show Im writing of was of BIBLICAL proportions: like Jerry Bruckheimer POO explosion. ick.

"The Blues Expolosion!"
Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-08-09 12:26:57 +0000
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. One of New Hampshire's contributions to the world of rock. We also gave the world:
ï‚· G.G. Allin
ï‚· Dave Lovering, drummer for the Pixies
ï‚· Steve Tyler, vocalist for Aerosmith
ï‚· the A.G.s
ï‚· Sinkhole
ï‚· various totally shit hippie jam bands with more hair and body odor than talent
Posted by rladew on 2005-08-09 12:50:51 +0000
Don't forget Kim Coletta of Jawbox, The Queers, Dan Blakeslee...

The Queers! How could I forget about them?! They summed up how much it sucked to be in Southern NH when I was growing up:
Eating magic mushrooms ain't for me
Or getting all fucked up on LSD
Or eating bean sprouts all day long
And smoking pot out of a bong
Wearing flowers in my hair
And having dirty underwear
I don't wanna be a granola-head
I don't wanna be a granola-head
Whacked-out hippies' brains are scrambled eggs
Ugly chicks with very hairy legs
I think I'd rather be at home
Listening to the Ramones
Or hanging out and getting drunk
With a bunch of useless punks
I don't wanna be a granola-head
I don't wanna be a granola-head
Oh can't you see
It's not for me
Eating bean sprouts all day long
And smoking pot out of a bong
Wearing flowers in my hair
And having dirty underwear
I don't wanna be a granola-head
I don't wanna be a granola-head

You know, I think that song alone did more to assuage my feelings of alienation than all the vinyl Morrissey ever came into contact with...
Posted by G lib on 2005-08-09 15:15:49 +0000
You put Dan Blakeslee in the same category as those others?
.
Is this a joke?

I wasn't gonna say it...
...but I'm damned glad [i]someone[/i] did.
I HEART Sinkhole. Used to see them ALL the time at the Mid East when I was at Brandeis. Hooray for free tix from WBRS and a college audience that was more interested in studying than indie rock.
Posted by rladew on 2005-08-09 15:39:23 +0000
I have a special place in my heart for Dan Blakeslee... Its not much in the same category if yr thinking punk or diy or whatever, but they are all people who play music from NH...

In all honesty, do you like his music, Ladew?
.
He's a nice guy and all, but I could never understand the droves of kids who went to see him at school, and then would wait in line to say hello to him after the show.
.
But I think he started 'speaking for the masses' the year I went to England, and when I came back, I just didn't ever understand the appeal.
.
Plus, I don't like his music. He's got a nice Neil Diamond quality to his voice, but the rest-- not so great.

we'd run into him in Allston,
He was one of the first people I bumped into when djing @ WUNH, he did a lot for the station over the years, and I appreciate the energy he put into his projects. Do I listen to or own his stuff? No, not really, but then again Steven Tyler would be in that category too...

I'm eating leftover bean sprouts with my vegetarian "beef" curry from Buddha's Delight Too. Clean undies. Shaved legs...yesterday. Still haven't showered today. Too busy emailing.
Posted by frame609 on 2005-08-09 17:32:39 +0000
Dan Blakselee's music is kinda like if you crossed Chris Isaak and a bag of shit and then removed the Chris Isaak. He's a super nice guy, though.
Posted by G lib on 2005-08-09 17:51:31 +0000
Do you remember when he showed up to Uncle's halloween party dressed as himself and then proceeded to play his music to all the people smoking in the driveway?

I do remember that, yeah. Gotta give it to the guy- he's been grinding it out as a musician for more than ten years.
Posted by Miriam on 2005-08-09 18:24:58 +0000
Totally remember that...and the blacklung. and Stoops' girl dressed as Space Pussy. And Ushinsky as Lord of the Dance. and Jenny puking her guts out upstairs...w/GLib holding her hair.

I have an idea for a short story called "The Goldne Age Of Party Embarrasments". Sooooooooo much material.
Posted by Miriam on 2005-08-09 18:32:06 +0000
I started to write a screenplay about the Malbert days, maybe that's what I should do in my spare time in Nashville.
Posted by rladew on 2005-08-09 18:42:50 +0000
[starting to sound defensive, but in a non threatening way] I wasnt privy to the fact that Pams list was "Quality and Critical faves to come out of NH" I thought it was just musicians spawned from NH. I cant think of the UNH scene w/out Sinkhole AND Dan Blakeslee, AGS, Queers, Hussy, Fly Spinach Fly, Burls, etc. It doesnt necessarily mean I think everyone lumped in there are groundbreakers or anything...[/starting to sound defensive, but in a non threatening way]

I think folks just like to dish about what a pompous asses pseudo-famous people are, and since he's the only one on that list that most of us have met... apart from Job Clark, who is a truly great guy... ah, Rich. Just give 'em all the finger and tell 'em to go to hell. x
Me included.
And I probably will. ;-)
Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-08-09 19:04:36 +0000
Wait a minute - Dan Blakeslee was at that party? I just remember Rory being the Devil and using that weird voice box. Oh, and me dancing sexy (I think) with GLib. Oh, and frame introducing me on a megaphone as "my friend Pam - and her cleavage!" (I was a Russ Meyer girl).
Man. That was a million years ago.
I am old.
My trousers = totally rolled.

I think folks just like to dish about what a pompous asses pseudo-famous people are.
That's SO true, Pamsterdam!
.
At least part of the dishing (for me) was jealousy-- I never had the guts to get up on stage and play my (IMHO) not-so-great songs to a crowd of my peers. The other part was embarassment-- how could he get up on stage and play THAT?!? And why didn't anyone tell him? If I got up on stage, would anyone tell me that I sucked?
.
Another case of the pseudo-celebrity, besides Hot Jon Clark-- BizQuig. I couldn't stand him in college! Turns out, I was justified in that hatred because he had what he later described as a 'boulder' on his shoulder and most of the time acted like an asswipe. But he also had the guts to get up on stage, opening himself up to a whole bunch of ridicule-- some of it was deserved, some of it wasn't. It wasn't until much later that I decided that he wasn't so much of a dinkwad.
.
I will say one last thing about the DB-- you're right, he was everywhere, involved, playing every night, and his passion for what he did is intense. And his art is really pretty amazing. However, I always wondered whether or not people went to his shows because the pseudo-famous person himself handed them a flyer, or because they liked the music. And I think that it was the former.
.
(PS-- Ladew-- I was teasing before, now I'm not. Just to be perfectly clear! )

Up until last year I was still introducing BQ as "my editor at our college newspaper". Damn, that used to get up his nose.
Heh heh.
The thing is, if I was ever gonna get up on stage and perform, I would have to have lyrics like Elvis Costello's, clothes like Keith Richards', the body of Debbie Harry, the bass skills of Sir Paul McCartney, and a voice that would make the whole audience quake with envy. And hell - even [i]I'm[/i] not that full of myself.
