My fave band of all time. There is nostalgia and then there are The Smiths….

Sometimes, there is a song which causes heart collapse. Aint listened to this for some time.

You just can take your eyes of me
Also I live in peace
With myself
I am so happy that you keep me
Alive every day
Yes father you were there
When I went through hard times
Yes I had paid a high price
Father people say I am perfect
That is not me
I will never be perfect
Because I am human
And I make mistakes
I never can go back and…Read More

I love the groove element of this song

“Burned out the TV set
Burned outta sex
I ain’t trashed
I’m fucking wrecked.”

– Sammy Hagar

In a Sammy Hagar mood tonight. This was a drinking song back in the day. Enjoy.. Appreciate you.

Another cheeky Welsh band. It’s official around these parts. Cerys is sex. “gadewch i mi cusanu chi” = let me kiss you, for those who are desperate to learn Cymraeg.

The Manics covering Frankie Valli and many of my friends were there. What is there not to like?

Are we able to share our own mp3s on?

The bass line.. The message.. What else do you need to know??? Appreciate you.

Damian

Tina was a powerhouse live. This is one of my favorite songs of hers, I love the blues/rock vibe. Enjoy.. Appreciate you.

Damian

I’m a huge Tina Turner fan. I also grew up in the MTV era, so I remember this video growing up. The song alone is powerful storytelling but then you add in a video it adds more layers. By the way that guitar solo is done by the one and only Jeff Beck. I’m bringing…Read More

Damian this song showed a lot of what I was feeling in my teens. It came out in 81′ but I heard it around 87′ when I thought I was truly in love. Haha nope hormones talking.

Fia, This is the song that defined my teenage years. As always the lyrics are key. They will be down below. This is my favorite version and performance off of MTV’s Unplugged.

Oh, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught…Read More

Father & Son. Too tragic for words.

poetry with flow, nice

Fair play to the U.S of A for giving the world such devastating music (Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith, New York Dolls, Blondie are faves), but my beloved nation (er…Wales) has its moments.

Steely Dan song meaning theories explained: Aja’s one of my favorites….the “dude ranch above the sea” is a rehab facility, the song’s narrative is about someone getting off the junk (all his “dime-dancing is through”)…In verse two the “hardware” he’s “throwing…Read More

Pound for pound one of my favorite Dylan songs, the storytelling is chef’s kiss.

“The next day was hanging day the sky was overcast and black
Big Jim lay covered up killed by a penknife in the back
And Rosemary on the gallows she didn’t even blink
The hanging…Read More

as a child I thought this was catchy now as an adult I feel this in my bones

fun song

man his songs hit different

Can never go wrong with Mary J. Blige

I remember when this group came out I was like.. Yeah

when that doctor asked me “son, how’d ya get in this condition?”
I said “hey sawbones, I’m just carryin’ on an old family tradition”

Just received news of Phil Campbell’s passing at the tender age of 64. He and Wurzel were a driving force behind what I like to call the “Orgasmatron sound”, when Lemmy brought another guitarist on board and made it a 4 piece. Motorhead best album imo

Hope you poets enjoyed a little luck on your Friday 13th! Now time for the Ides of March!! Then a little more luck on St, Patty’s Day!!! All at the tail end of a nasty Mercury retrograde that ends on March 20th!!!! It’s made for a wild month so far. Hey Damian, I heard Eddie Van Halen say in an interview the boys would crank this one before they…Read More

Friday 13th, perfect time to stare at the wall and contemplate existence in unwholesome ways.

“I sure could use a vacation from this bullshit three ring circus sideshow of freaks.”

Maynard James Keenan

YHoorah! Apparently,, we are all at war again and so it breeds further xenophobia, racism and islamophobia. Shamefully, nowhere worse than the UK. So many w@ nkers over here still think of imperialism and the emipre – oh do f off.

Love me some Chevelle..

“Time, spent wading off shore
The calm, before the storm.”

Peter Loeffler

This is an amazing song. The words without the meaning has so much meaning behind it.

“Yeah, we’re runnin’ a little bit hot tonight
I can barely see the road from the heat comin’ off of it
Ah, you reach down, between my legs and ease the seat back.”

David Lee Roth

Not sure if anyone remembers this song. How the words and vocals just touch something inside

Music fact: Steve Vai plays guitar on this one check out that solo..

“The blind king has secrets dark and morose
He’d like it if we were like him
All the dark days spent in the maze
Have made a new man of him.”

Lemmy Kilmister

Very underrated band. I’m a huge fan of the group, but most of all Vito Bratta is an amazing guitar player. I did a Backstage episode on this band.

“You can walk out through this open door
Just like so many times before
If you don’t find what you’re looking…Read More

What many may or may not know is that I am perfectly comfortable with being what most reputable intelligence agencies label as “compromised”. It’s fun, but it sure ain’t fer everybody…

Huge Motörhead fan here..

“You know I’m born to lose, and gambling’s for fools,
But that’s the way I like it baby,
I don’t wanna live forever,
And don’t forget the joker!”

Lemmy Kilmister

Some of us have been down a lotta byways & highways and seen a lotta things but never finding that one true human love. Happy Valentine’s Day to all that have (achieved that)!

“what the winner don’t know, a gambler understands”

Happy (and lucky) Friday 13th to all my fellow poets and music lovers. We get another one next month, then another in November. Don’t forget to count your blessings.

There’s just something about the Irish. As a fellow Celt, their grasp of humanity shatters like a shotgun against heart bone.
