Hard to believe but I read the Rolling Stones album Goats Head Soup was released this day, 49yrs ago.
To the best Bar Band in the World!

And now for something completely different:

Get you pagan on, you animals!

I watched a good amount of the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert at Wembley this weekend, it was on YT on MTVâs channel. I looked for the link now and came up short, but thatâs where you should look if interested.
A lot of guests, a few surprises, and a lot of emotions.

This one crossed my YT feed. If only theyâd sounded this good when we saw them in concert maybe 4 months after this - itâs literally the only concert Iâve ever left early (along with at least half the audience at the same time as us, 3 songs in):

Thereâs also some rubberbanding going on timing wise. If this is representative for their live performances, itâs a bit sobering. Pity, what little i know of their material sounds quite nice.

So they write nice songs, but sadly lack the technical acumen, the virtuosity, to pull them off. At least, here they do.

The acoustics were awful- they sounded like they were playing from the bottom of a well- and it wasnât the venue- weâve both seen numerous other acts there with much more musically technical requirements from sound equipment and spaces (Phantogram, Chvrches, and Flaming Lips come to mind as examples) who were spectacular at that venue, but this wasnât. Plus, they informed us at the very beginning of their set that the bass player wasnât going to be there because his wife had just had a baby, and the drummer would be filling in. Knowing people in bands who live or die by their tour schedules, this is something you have planned out very far in advance, to have somebody whoâs rehearsed with the band ready to hop in immediately.
In general the whole performance just felt phoned in- they played âFeel It Stillâ (their biggest hit at that time) as the 3rd song- we left halfway through that one, along with a steady stream of other people. And yeah, the rubber-banding thing with both vocals and rhythm was also a serious issue for the songs we did see. Also, the (recorded) backing vocals for âNoise Pollutionâ were way, way off from the rest of the mics, which was especially a shame- Mary Elizabeth Winstead is from about an hour outside of Raleigh.
I have yet to hear a Bob Mintzer song that is not ingenious.

(Just watched S02E02 of âThe Boysâ. 
Excellent soundtrack. David Byrne is quite the character.)

This is different, in a good way.

I think Black Sabbath mightâve written War Pigs based on that song!
EDIT: I was listening to Shawn Ryan interview Marine Raider Cody Alford today. Cody was talking about fighting in Fallujah Iraq and he was saying they were stacking the bodies so high that the bodies were interfering with their line of fire! 
War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing.
Ironically everyone here at Mudspike revel in weapons of warfare.
