.:..:::___Alex Grey is AMAZING___:::..:.Riva Starr does a GREAT job with this version of 'The End' by The Doors. I am a HUGE Doors fan, and it takes a very well produced remix to justify posting of such a classic tune. The original full-length version of 'The End' by The Doors clocked in at an epic Eleven minutes and Forty Two seconds! This progressive journey to 'The End' is a must have for...
When Tom DiCillo's The Doors documentary When You're Strange premiered at Sundance recently, critics loved it, but were unhappy with DiCillo's narration of his own film. The Playlist reports that the narration was deemed too mellow to accompany the... There's more on this story at the following link...
Why is it everytime i go to check the news they always have horrible stuff happening like 5 Bombers killed 4 children. Child Rapist on the loose and shit like that honestly it must scare people to turn on the TV and see what sick and twisted this world really is. I know this is a random post but this has to be addressed.
Jim Morrison may have been the Number One Douchebag in Rock and Roll History, but he was a great vocalist, The Doors made some undoubtedly great songs, and at least a couple of consistently good-to-great albums. One was Morrison Hotel, where the soon-to-be-dead lead singer gets higher on the blues than he does his own dangerously pretentious self. The latest reissue is a bit of an exercise in o...
...I'll jump the gun on my Funky Friday post by throwing this on...what can I say, Ioves that older, analog shite and I'll be the first to tell you that when I think of Funk, images of Jim Morrison don't immediately come to mind for most, but I must say that for a moment, at least on one track, the one I'm posting below, Mr. Mojo Risin and his crew got stanky widdit...I was reminded of it, for ...
In an era before Sony brought the Walkman to the world and long before Apple unleashed the iPod to the modern world, did you ever listen to tapes? Silly question for most people over 25. What better day than Mother's Day should film director Allison Anders share her answer:Wow did I ever! I listened to 8 track tapes kids! I was thinking about this actually on the plane last night from Brazil ...
So today I'm watching the Simpsons, in particular, the old episode where Homer bowls a perfect game and becomes a celebrity, I'm sitting there just watching the episode with no particular thought in mind, and suddenly I hear The Doors' song "The End", I wouldn't have known the name of the song except for the fact that I have my caption turned on on my TV, the episode ends and I hurry immediatel...
While I had The Doors archive open, I was requested to post this one. A nice little window into a Doors rehearsal with the band doing things other than the standard hits.From the Liner notes:In July 1969 The Doors played two concerts to packed audiences at the Aquarius Theatre on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California. In addition, the day after the two concerts, The Doors used the Aquarius ...
The cause of death of legendary poet and Doors frontman Jim Morrison has been called into question. The standing cause of death has been heart failure, a claim which rebutted Sam Bernett's new book 'The End: Jim Morrison'.Bernett stated that Morrison had snorted heroin and was found with foam and blood coming out of his mouth, sitting on the toilet with his head and arms hanging down by his leg...

Hey gang,This Summer's been an interesting one! I've been on a long and treacherous journey filled with convicts, Cossacks, highwaymen of all sorts, gunfighters, Indian healers, Bulgarian mental patients, Estonian sorceresses, Moldovan muraders, Portuguese BMX riders, Lithuanian office managers, and I think there was a Norwegian black metaler or two. Nonetheless, I've obtained a fresh perspect...
