PARANMAUN - Linda Linda Linda

Rock-N-Roll:



Rock-N-Roll.

MC5 - "Kick Out The Jams"

Holy crap, another great one:

MC5 - Kick Out The Jams - My Beat Club Video from my-beatclub

Well all RIGHT!

THE RAMONES - "Pinhead"

Holy crap, I never saw this version:

Ramones - Pinhead - My Beat Club
Live At Musikladen!

Video from my-beatclub

The boys sure can rock out, eh?

JOY DIVISION - "Shadowplay"

This one goes out to Bob:



And is probably my favorite.

999 - "Homicide"

I never thought I'd find the video for this song since YouTube began to suck so hard:

999 - Homicide (78)

So I've gone further afield!

Yaeyuh.

GARY GLITTER - "Rock and Roll"

This was the first cool 45 I ever got:



I bought it off of Steve Brewer with my lunch money.

I still have it. Know what's on the flip side? That's right, "Rock and Roll Pt. 2"

IGGY POP - "Some Weird Sin"

The man himself:



Gotta give Iggy for putting this kind of music out for 35 freaking years now. Grandpa will kick your ass.

Lyric:

Well, I never got my license to live
They wont give it up
So I stand at the worlds edge

Well, Im trying to break in
Oh no, its not for me
And the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
Thats when I want
Some weird sin

Things get too straight
I cant bear it
I feel stuck
Stuck on a pin

Well Im trying to break in
And I know its not for me
And the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
Thats when I want
Some weird sin
Thats when I want
Some weird sin
Just to relax with

Thats some dumb weird sin
For a while anyway
With my head on the ledge
Thats what you get out on the edge
Some weird sin

Things get too straight
I cant bear it
I feel stuck
Stuck on a pin

Im trying to break in
Oh, I know its not for me
Well, the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
Thats when I want
Some weird sin
Thats when I want
Some weird sin
Just to relax with
.
Thats some dumb weird sin
For a while anyway
With my head out on the ledge
Thats what you get out on the edge
Some weird sin
Some weird sin, some weird sin

BECK - "Devil's Haircut"

This one goes out to Jared:

YAAARRRRGH!

P.I.L. - "Rise"

I can't believe I never posted this here:

I could be wrong.I could be right.
I could be wrong.

I could be wrong, I could be right,
I could be black, I could be white,
I could be right, I could be wrong,
I could be white, I could be black.

Your time has come, your second skin.
You climb so high and gain so low.
Walk through the valley.
The written word is a lie.

May the road rise with you.

I could be wrong.I could be right.
I could be wrong.I could be right.

I could be wrong, I could be right,
I could be black, I could be white,
I could be right, I could be wrong,
I could be black, I could be white.

They put a hotwire to my head
'cuz of the things I did and said.
They made these feelings go away,
but those feelings get in every way.

May the road rise with you.

Anger is an energy.

May the road rise with you.

Anger is an energy.

I've always like the lyric. And anger is definitely an energy. "Let fury have the hour, anger can be power, do you know that you can use it?"

Indeed.

This hangs above my bar

It's a paper plate from THE CRAMPS's backstage buffet from back when they played Hammerjack's in Baltimore, or perhaps the 9:30 Club in DC in about 1990... either way, I wasn't there, as my pal Erik Dorr (who owned York's SOUND BIZARRE record store) had backstage passes that I missed out on because I was heading to Florida on vacation. I really regret that, but I'm glad that Erik was such a pal that he had the band members sign this paper plate to me, and I've treasured it ever since...

Now I'm gonna go drink a big fucking juiceglass of scotch in memory of Lux. Stay sick.

I have had The Cramps for a long time

URGH! A Music War:



I will never forget seeing this for the first time, dreading Lux's perilous pants...

R.I.P. Lux Interior

Just tear it up:



Those pants! My eyes! I can't look away!

IGGY POP & DINAH SHORE - Just chat

I remember watching the DINAH SHORE show when I was a child, along with Graham Kerr, Merv Griffin, David Frost and others... but I don't remember seeing this:


It's fairly gentle and human... it's from when talk show hosts didn't pander or plug.

Oh and Bowie's there too. Man, what a time and place.

ROBOCOP KRAUS - "In Fact You're Just Fiction"

A favorite band:



I discovered them early in my explorations, and I keep going back to them... great sound.

PEACHES & IGGY POP - "Kick It"

Iggy rocks with Peaches:



But then Iggy rocks with anyone.

DAVID BOWIE - "Five Years" (Live 1972)

Quite possible my favorite Bowie song:



but the whole RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS album pretty much kicks ass.

LES SAVY FAV - "Patty Lee"

An all-time favorite:



WE USED TO BE GODS
NOW WE'RE SO PLAIN

RAMONES - "Time Has Come Today"

Absolutely the best Ramones video:



The church of Joey Ramone.

1990s - "You're Supposed to Be My Friend"

I really really like this one:



But boy are they ugly. Doesn't matter. The song kicks serious ass.

MAGAZINE - "Shot By Both Sides"

Another classic from a somewhat-overlooked band:



I work my way to the heart of the crowd.

HIVES - "Tick Tick"

OK, this is just one huge ass-kicking song and video:



And HERE is the better version than that YouTube crap.

I really dig the Hives.

CRAMPS - "Surfin' Bird"

Just turn this up:



Ooo maw maw ooo maw maw.

KEITH MOON - "Barbara Ann"

Holy smokes!



Strange times, eh?

THE CRAMPS - "What's Inside a Girl?"

I love raunch



So obviously I love The Cramps! (Hi Gary!)

GRINDERMAN - "No Pussy Blues"

I fixed the hinges on her gate
But still she just didn't want to.



Nick Cave rules.

And HERE'S a better version.

SONS & DAUGHTERS - "Gilt Complex"

This just kicks ass:



Rock on!

"Linda Linda Linda"

This just completely kicks ass:



Unfortunately it's the penultimate scene from a movie, so I just ruined it for you.

THE RUNAWAYS - "Cherry Bomb"

*GULP*



*kaff*

Gotta get some air...

CONCRETE BLONDE - "Still In Hollywood"

OK, this song kicks ass:

Clipta - new video wave: Concrete Blonde - Still in Hollywood

Keep on KEEP ON KEEP ON!

SEX PISTOLS (Sid Vicious) - "My Way"

Just in case you've never seen this... bask in the glory that is SID:



I'll never forget seeing this for the first time... I had never seen anything like it and was TRANSFORMED.

WHITE STRIPES - "Icky Thump"

I LIKE THE WHITE STRIPES!

There. I said it.



HERE'S the swell version.

NICK CAVE - "Stagger Lee"

This is one of the most frighteningly grim songs I have ever heard, and his album "Murder Ballads" is chock full of grim weirdness:



HOLY SHIT, THAT'S IT FOR ME, NO MORE DRUNKEN NIGHTS AT SOME FUCKING ROADHOUSE.

THE WHO - "My Generation" on the Smothers Brother's show

Keith Moon blow up real good:



Smash host's guitar.

BAUHAUS - "She's In Parties"

It's in the can:



Looks like spoor on the cuting room floor.

(Special effects by Lunatics and Drinks)

THE HIVES - "Main Offender"

I'm on my way:



You got me saying "Why me?"

THE HIVES - "Hate to Say I Told You So"

But it's alright:



Because I wanna.

YARDBIRDS - "For Your Love"

I give you everything and more and that's for sure:



I used to put this song on every damn mixtape I made...

YARDBIRDS - "Over Under Sideways Down"

A classic:



'Nuff said.

GNARLS BARKLEY - "Run"

This is just completely awesome:



HERE IT IS in a better version...

SEX PISTOLS - "God Save the Queen"

The Pistols, in all their glory:



Brings a tear to this old man's eye...

THE CLASH - "Magnificent Seven" - live on the Tom Snyder show 1981

Classic TV:



*sigh* Saw this live.
