Alex over at Army Of Dude is the most important of all of the bloggers I read daily. That isn’t to say that the other voices I listen to each day aren’t important, just saying this guy has served us in Iraq and his blog takes the hands on approach to opposition of this situation we all are involved in. He brings us things he feels are important on a regular basis and also lets us see, through photos, what our troops are going through while serving in the middle east.
He and his best girl are now in the process of moving from Washington state to Austin, Texas. (thats why his last post was a week ago) I wish them the safest of moves and the easiest acclimation that Austin can offer.
His move made me think about the good times I have had in both Washington and Austin. In my opinion the Austin music scene sooooooo outshines any of the music scenes in Seattle or anywhere else the great state of Washington have to offer.
One of my favorite blues/country/rock bands currently playing with Austin as their home is The Mother Truckers. Here is a vid of their view of the “Human Condition”.
I just finished writing my short autobiography in the Alien Logbooks at the top of the page. As you can see there I have a wandering foot. Writing the last of it I got those itchy toes again but am probably going to take a nap first and when I wake up the desire to globe trot will be quelled for another day.
First I had to enjoy the guys doing that wonderful “I Know You Rider” and thought I would share the wonderful tune with y’all.
Yeah, I know, I know. I just posted a Zappa vid or two just a couple of days ago but this montage along with Franks “Dumb All Over” just has to be done here.
Them Bright Eyes asks a lot of questions in “When The President Talks To God”.
Its been a while since I’ve been to New Orleans. Not since Katrina. I didn’t think I could deal with the changes and sorrowful loss after the storm. But with the stories I have heard from friends and the media things are getting better down there. The Carnival celebration going on is so like the old days. Drunken debauchery and stupidity in the streets, parades and the food….oh the food.
I truly know what it means to miss New Orleans.
Happy Mardi Gras!
Pete Fountain. “Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans”.
Zachary Richard and Allen Toussaint. “Take Me To The Mardi Gras”
Grateful Dead 7/26/87. “Aiko Aiko”. Brent kicks ass on the keys on this one.
This Hank Williams III set is just for your listening pleasure. I hope your week is great.
At the 40 Watt in Athens, Ga. Hank Williams III and The Damn Band doing the Those Poor Bastards standard “Pills I Took”. Yes that is Joe Buck on the standup bass.
Then to show how 3 can rock here is a tribute to G.G.Allin. Hank and Assjack doing “Raw, Brutal, Rough And Bloody”. Jeff Clayton of AntiSeen joins on vocals.
Digging into the past I found some Superjoint Ritual. “Everyone Hates Everybody”. 3 plays guitar in this group headed by Phil Anselmo. Too bad they broke up. Thats Hank in the interview at the end of this vid.
