And getting comments and tweets about how awesome I am certainly has done wonders for my self-esteem when things have gotten rough.īasically, what I’m saying is that I’d like to thank everyone for sticking with me on what is essentially an entirely selfish endeavor that benefits my own ego. During the times when the fun freelance writing work dries up (which is more often than I would like ) this blog literally keeps me sane, especially when it’s my only outlet for writing about music. Well, as much as I would like to say that I do it for you, the people who are looking for rare and hard to find music, the truth is that I really do it just as much for me as for anyone else.īy keeping up this blog, I kind of force myself to make adventurous musical purchases, and seek out rare and hard-to-find records with the hopes that I might find something interesting to write about it. I make no money on this blog (in fact, I lose money on it) and it’s a lot of work. I can’t believe I’ve kept this blog going that long, but I’m so glad I did.Ī lot of people ask me why I do this. That post was six years ago this month! That’s crazy. That’s because they were on my very first post ever, which I am nearly 100% certain no one ever read until about six months after I took the files down. I posted those mixes to “When The Wind Blows” before, but if you say you remember that then you’re damn liar. And if you’re visiting here for the first time because of Nerve, well then welcome! Want to listen to the soundtrack to Urgh!? If so, you might find this post of some interest. You should read it.Īfter you do that, come back here. Posted in B-sides, Frank Black, Goldie, Guns N' Roses, remixes | 5 Comments » In fact, I hardly own any Goldie! Just some 12″ singles and that song he did on the Spawn soundtrack with Henry Rollins (also, for some reason I own that soundtrack on vinyl, red transparent vinyl, what the hell?!).Īnyways, even if you don’t like drum and bass (and why not? It’s the best thing since sliced Beatles) I still think you should give this song a chance.
It’s 2012 and I still don’t own Goldie’s Timeless. A song that an ex-girlfriend of mine consistently referred to as “like the best song EVER!” Myself, I prefer “If It Takes All Night” from Dog In the Sand, but maybe that’s why we broke up. If you don’t own an of Frank Black’s early solo albums then you’re failing at life. But don’t pay much mind to that track, instead, focus on the aptly-titled “Surf Epic,” a 10 minute smorgasbord of surf guitar and sci-fi sounds that is brain-meltingly good. There is another song “The Ballad of Johnny Horton,” but I don’t believe they have anything in common (aside from probably being about Johnny Horton). While that track is a cover, I’m fairly certain that both of these instrumental tunes are original compositions. I never thought I’d get to post and rare Frank Blank either! But hey, I found some at a record show last week! These are B-sides to the “Hang On To Your Ego” single, which was a track from Frank’s self-titled 1993 debut. I can put this right next to my lenticular comic book trading cards. This demo version of the classic “Don’t Cry” is the B-side to to the 12″ “Don’t Cry” single, which is a nifty record because the cover has a hologram on it. I never thought I’d get a chance to post some rare and out-of-print GNR, mostly because I didn’t think that there was any rare and out of print GNR.
Someone tell me, I’ll be your best friend if you do. I added an RSS/Google Reader/I don’t know what reader to my sidebar.
