Friday night music & diatribe

[newtrix1]

I haven't heard any of Cantrell's solo stuff, though I've been told that Degradation Trip is excellent, especially the 2-disc version that's being offered now. Apparently Jerry wanted it to be a double, but his record label forced him into making a single disc initially. Have you heard either album, and if so is it worth the cash?

At one time I had (or borrowed, can't remember) Boggy Depot. I added 7 tracks from that album on to the back end of an AiC comp that I had in the making. The songs I plucked are; Cut You in, Jesus Hands, Keep the Lights on, Satisfy, Hurt a Long Time, Between, and Cold Piece. That last track Cold Piece is an 8 1/2 minute spacey blues rock gem with some really interesting guitar work. It alone may be worth the price of admission, especially since you can pick this album up cheap on the used market (HALF.COM).

I've had Degradation Trip on my wishlist for a long time, but other stuff always seems to usurp it. I was recently discussing DT with a coworker who said he was going to pick it up. If he does get it, I'm sure I'll get a chance to check it out and I'll let you know.

I haven't had time to do much listening. And last night I had the pleasure of seeing Home on the Range. [sarcasm] Wow, what a classic. [/sarcasm] My four-year-old says he liked it, but he also fell asleep during it. Even if you have little kids, don't waste your time/money.

I've been listening to this in my car the last couple of days:



What a damn fine album, and one I hadn't listened to in probably at least 5 years. The songwriting, arrangements, and production (all done by Ms. Bush) are all great.

Open range is a snoozer. At the theater with a really big screen I imagine that the vistas are spectacular. The movie blows big time though.

Painting right now (cept for this break) and playing some Alexi Lalas toons a buddy thought I should hear...he was a pretty flashy defender wasn't he?

See I got a package from CA in the mail today. Somebody called Fat Bastard? or something like that. Guess what's next.
