Cheap Trick- He’s A Whore (1977) ORIGINAL
Big Black- He’s A Whore (1987) COVER
I’m a fan of both songs and both bands, but I’m a wayyy bigger fan of Big Black and their cover; it’s one of my personal favorites! Which version do you prefer?

Just One More…
Just one more obscure, drug related video for today.
Haha, Ohh Timothy!

Don’t Smoke Pot…
Haha, ohh those wacky turtles, wacky like the federal government. All hyporcrites, cause the turtles get super baked, hence all the munching on pizza and the feds don’t give a shit about the top two drug killers: Tobacco and Alcohol, yet pot, which kills no one is illegal. Wacky indeed. This is funny propaganda though.

The Freeway is Free!
Has Been Free I should say. I guess in March of 2009, former drug kingpin, “Freeway” Ricky Ross was released from prison for being a “model prisoner.” He was then sent to a halfway house and finally on September 29, 2009, he was completely released. How did I miss this?! Why didn’t anyone tell me? Here’s his Facebook page:

How Weed Won the West…
This is a trailer for the new Kevin Booth documentary. This time he focues specifcally on Marijuana (as the title clearly indicates) as opposed to his last film, American Drug War, which evaluated all or most drugs related to the drug war. I hope he include the reality of Obama’s (at least so far) abandoment of his campaign promises concerning law enforcement’s handling of drugs. Anyway, I’ll be seeing this soon.

Comments: With the Vivian Girls and Mika Miko, I felt a certain kind of like punk grrl vibe, but Jemina sounds like a girly girl just happening to sing punk. She’s really good at sounding clear, making me hesitant to call this natural garagey punk, which tends to be “dirty.” Overall, this sounds like cleaner garage a la Hunx, except with a pure female voice. It’s catchy, but I wouldn’t listen to it on a regular basis, other than maybe one or two songs.
Grade: 8.7
The Man Of Your Dreams?

This Ain’t No Prog Blog…
Random title indeed. This is an extremely brief commentary or rant if you will on something that occurs quite often when I am discussing music with other music devotees. Here’s the setup:
Someone asks me if I like some Progressive Rock band like Dream Theater or King Krimson and then I respond that I’m not really into Prog Rock, yet every time this incident happens I am sporting a shirt with one of the few prog bands I listen to (i.e. Tool, Pink Floyd). Most of the music related shirts I wear would be appropos, like the Ramones or the Black Lips, but for some strange reason, I am never seen wearing such shirts when this question arises. I don’t know, I think it’s slightly amusing enough to make a post out of the situation…. and I’m also procrastinating my french homework.
