Soundgarden

its what the founding fathers would want.  

I dunno why but I fail to see anything interesting in contemporary music. Maybe its because: 1. There are just too many artists to listen to. 2. Genres have evolved radically to coalesces with other genres and then split again to form new different friggin genres. 3. The "new" and "emerging" artists aren't dead yet. I know this would be a bummer for concert ticket sales but...I like listening to dead people. No media spins, no Michael Jackson - esque humiliations, ... MORE

It's one of those days when I really don't have anything especially insightful or informative to add to the proceedings. Still, I'm taking the NaBloPoMo challenge in regards to my weblog seriously, so herewith a post basically expressing the afore-mentioned sentiment. To borrow a line from the otherwise justifiably maligned Joe Perry Project, I'm just going to let the music do the talking. In this case, it's some vintage Soundgarden (back when they were still screechy, ha... MORE

Just a bit further down this path now... Cover # 3 is Soundgarden covering Devo's song Girl U Want. I loved Soundgarden's music, however, this cover is not one of those covers that really wow you. They didn't really make it their song in my estimation. It's just a cover.

This past week, Congress had an opportunity to permanently repeal the death tax by amending the Tax Collection Responsibility Act of 2007 to include language that ends the estate tax forever. This would have been a good provision in an overall bad bill. 212 Democrats were enough to keep this spectre looming on the horizon if the Bush tax cuts are not renewed in 2011. The bill passed without this silver lining and now we face big in increases taxes and penalties in the n... MORE

I am figuring Los Angeles out more and more e everyday...such a unique town, this city of angels. I have noticed that most of the pharmacies here close at 5 or so...but I have seen MULTIPLE car washes that are open 24hrs a day here...remember, in Hollywood it's now how you feel, but how you look!

Just now, I was listening to Soundgarden's "Fell On Black Days," and bumped into Meaning. It's true that finding just the right song can be a wonderful experience, and I've found it the best when it happens accidentally. It's a song that I like just for its pacing. Heard a Chris Cornell acoustic version first thanks to animamusika, then the studio version with the band on one of the albums that changed my love's life. I think I like both of them equally, which is not u... MORE

Syria's capital, Damascus lays claim to title of the oldest, continuously inhabited city on earth. It has absorbed strangers, or been conquered since time immemorial. From the Amorites, who settled from the Arabian Peninsular in 2000 BC., the Egyptians five hundred years later, then the Hittites, the Aramaeans, the Assyrians; the Babylonians in 572 BC., followed by t...

This last album from the Gods doesn't get the love as the two that came before it, and I really can't understand why. It has lots of deep, sad, foreboding songs on it already knowing the time was short for the boys in the band, too bad we didn't see it then, and it has my favorite by them on it, too...
