I'm watching sons of anarchy, no I'm not a Harley appreciator (I like bikes that ride like bikes), no I'm not into the whole outlaw biker scene (getting a tat scares me, well more like what my mum would say I guess than the actual process), I guess I really just was interested to see what happens when your partner Peg Bundy with Hellboy. Would Hellboy become a down trodden shoe salesman or would Peg bring her Asian friend over and start wrestling in skimpy swimsuits for Hellboy and Ratman ? So many possibilities.

However this is a music thread. So, like all the war movies that cashed in on nostalgia, the tarantino movies that used some epic tracks to embellish movie scenes or Breaking Bad using quirky covers like the latino Hotel California, Sons of Anarchy also delves into this arena. Some tracks are ok, some are cliché (ie hard rock guitars whilst the boyos are rolling their thunder down the long boring highway, "fuck, a corner, what do we do ???") but......

this cover below is the tits. There is a version with the scene and one without. It stands on its own in terms of epicness, infact the scene kinda detracts from it coz its a bit USA USA. Its a cover of a traditional ye olde song, it sounds simple but I'll wager ain't many can play and sing it like this.

I always wondered what OMC peeps thought about that show and the fan Bois wearing the merchant?

the 1% probs don't care too much I would expect, wearing the merch would be ill advised in some areas I think

If you have a beard, guess what...., you're an idiot.

I'm not talking about this kind of beard: That stuff is normal and is more of a lifestyle choice than a statement of who you are. However this stuff below IS a statement and it says that you are a weak willed, tepid fool that is easily led and needs to try and attract attention to...

First 4 Smashing Pumpkins albums on repeat. One of the first bands I got into as a young teenager. Some real gems in that early pumpkins catalogue:

This recent (only recent) interview with D'arcy is a bit sad though: https://www.alternativenation.net/smashing-pumpkins-bassist-darcy-first-interview-in-20-years/

including:

When a song comes on the radio of ours, I’ll be like, ‘That sounds pretty good, that sounds familiar! Oh, that’s us!’ I couldn’t listen to our music for many, many years, I was very ill. I was going through a divorce, and physically sick almost all the time, so much stress. I’ve always been a perfectionist and maybe more than slightly obsessive compulsive. I’m really hard on myself, and if somebody is harder than me than I am on myself, it’s ridiculous, I can’t, it’s too much. It was mostly that Billy would have a scapegoat for three months, and then somebody else. He doesn’t understand that other people don’t think like him, he always thinks that everybody is in the same mood as him. He would get really angry if he was depressed and you were happy.

Siamese Dream - one of the 10 albums id take to a desert island.

My favorite album. I am listening to this album quite a bit of late.

Back in the 90's (high school), my best mate was a music head, got me into all the music I love. He was a big influence on me not just in music, but getting my life on track (some people go stupid when they're a teenager). Just over a year ago he passed away and it hit me pretty hard. Listening to this album brings some great memories and good times.

Most memorable concert was seeing the Pumkins at their peak in 96.

yeah I know - makes it harder to listen to his albums knowing what a tool he is. But they are much better than his ego, and at least he's not a Varg Vikernes.

I was never a pumpkin fan. Plenty of other bands from era made good music though.


Currently try listening to Tricky, a few different albums all on shuffle in the micro bar.

Lots of my friends liked them, one of them even saw them twice on the same tour he was so pumped. I just never clicked with it.
