"i feel like road-kill...."

sound : stairway to heaven - dread zeppelin

odds, sods, bends and ends..... wierd trippy noise-scapes to keep out every single iota of sanity..... man oh man.... the will to travel... the lust to travel..... but oh, so little greenbacks.... save the greenbacks all you mutant scum!!!

"and my spirit is crying for leaving..."

pick up your fifth limb little bastard child of the planet.... lift up your fifth limb and create!... create the sweet, sweet sounds that is....

"and it makes me wonder...."

but seriously, why speak of things real and plain when the unreal and the extraordinary has so much more potential in entertaining the creator and the admirer.... why bother with what you believ to be true and painful when the sweet, sweet lie is a much better (read painless) option?...

and how, oh how do you make a machine weep so mr clapton?... how do you do it?.... how can any human make a machine, an entity with no life or will of its own (that doesnt mean it has no pirit) speak out?.... it's not just you.... jimi hendrix, jimmy page, john paul jones, danny carey, jack white, john frusciante, flea, etc... its all a gift... a gift that i lack.....

"i dont know why nobody told you,
how to unfold your love?"

in actuallity all this rambling on about creativity and music stems from my wanting to go to guitar classes..... but hey.... like always, i don't have enough money......

i think i better start dealing crack or something.... i'll finally have enough money for everything that i want.... a new guitar, classes... bah... it's not meant to be.....

i feel like road-kill....

" welcome to modern psychedelia my brothers, sisters, half-mutant gods and very many clones..."

sound : The White unicorn - Wolfmother

ok, i'm not going to rant and rave about my very non-existant yet almost-active social life.... no, i'm not going to rant about me being broke.... so broke that i doubt i can make my next payment on the car..... yes, i am living the american fucking dream.... work my head off, go to school, hang out with the stoners, pimps, whores and crack-dealers and then back again.... this cycle of mundane-ness (sic) would usually drive me insane..... but why am i not spewing the vitriol-speak of times past?... what is the cause of this new-found pseudo-joy?.....

WOLFMOTHER!

let me rephrase that....

WOLFMOTHER period!

"what is this 'wolfmother'?" you ask.... well remember romulus and his brother whats-his-name?... nope.... wolfmother is not a part of their story...... it is not the werewolf (or lycan for all you underworld freaks) that lurks under your beds (trust me, they're there).... and no, it is not a brand new cereal guaranteed to increase your sexual activity in a miracle timespan of 36.65364 seconds.....

wolmother is a band... a rock group.... a group of artists.....

"and why is it that a band has gotten you so excited?" you ask... well, it was like the first time i listened to "parabola" (TOOL, "lateralus")..... or the first time i heard "stairway to heaven" (led zeppelin, "IV").... or the first time i heard "layla" (derek and the dominoes, "layla and other assorted love songs").... or "seven nation army" (the white stripes, "elephant") or "californication" (red hot chili peppers, "californication")... the list is fucking endless....

oh yeah.... the answer to, "and why is it that a band has gotten you so excited?" is that the music just plain makes me excited..... what other reason is there fo me to like music?....

wolfmother sounds like a blitzkrieg mash up of led zeppelin, early white stripes, cream, jethro tull, syd barret era pink floyd and most of all black sabbath (ozzy era sabbath that is)..... and is that a bad thing?...... not at all..... some people might call them rip-offs but they can just go take a flying fudge for all i care.... the music's good, you feel your head bob and your hands pelting out a beat with the drums...... and the guitaring.... the guitaring..... so, so, so very plain yet so catchy and distinct.... the hooks grab you like a queens of a stoneage track..... you are sucked into the uber stoner bass lines mixed with whirling guitars and an ozzy/jack white style vocal noise..... and the lyrics..... white unicorns and electric rainbows...... welcome to modern psychedelia my brothers, sisters, half-mutant gods and very many clones.....

the highlights on their self-titled debut could be "woman", "the joker and the thief", "the white unicorn", "dimension" and "withcraft".......

wolfmother are myles heskett, chris ross and andrew stockdale.... point of origin of the trio: sydney, australia.... specialties: awesome white-boy 'fros and kick-ass musicianship....

yes you bloody dung-beatles.... check wolfmother out.... they are a much needed breath of fresh air......
