Tim Armstrong, of Rancid, has a new album out of solo work and this video for his new single kicks all sorts of ass. Reminds me of the brief period in the 90's when I got hip deep into the Ska revival. I was dating some little punk rock chick with violet hair who's best friend was a reformed skinhead who just got out of jail for clubbing someone with a tire iron. I remember she smoked constantly and refused to have sex with me. On a positive note I got to see some really cool Ska shows at the 9:30 club back home in D.C. I also learned how to skank. Later on in life I developed a bad habit re: skanking but that my friends is an entirely different story. Without further adieu Mr. Tim Armstrong and the girl in the miniskirt named Suzanne:

Here is more of that badass vocalizing I talked about in my earlier post. Fun fact, Reid was first approached to be the lead vocalist for a little band called Led Zepplin.

Of course it is an overstatement because how would I possibly be able to quantify such a grandiose judgment. However, he is extremely bitchin and a critical as opposed to a popular darling. The most incredible thing about Terry Reid is his voice. Every rock vocalist out there pales in comparison. For some reason this brings to mind American Idol and all those wannabees. The thing is that no rock vocalist will ever win that show because the mainstream public does not consider rock a real showcase for vocal talent. Terry Reid would win American Idol unopposed because all the children on that show would simply cry and then quit. Terry Reid would then piss on the stage and refuse to honor his contractual obligations. (I have no idea if Reid ever had a rock persona or if he was just a humble artist.) A huge uproar would result in the media and eventually it would turn up that Terry Reid had violent sex with Paula Abdul in a public restroom before ninja kicking Simon Cowell in the testes. Anyway, that is a huge flight of fancy for me. I do not even know if Terry Reid is alive, and if he was,if he is skilled in the combat arts. Enjoy the music.

Very funny post. What's not funny, though - I didn't know Terry Reid by name before I wiki'd him just now. I need to get more of his stuff for sure - this song is right up my alley.
