tracks of the week

Just got in from a jog, which coming back from last fall’s shin injury is really still code for a walk in which I occasionally throw in a couple jogging intervals. Anyway, my last interval would normally be a lazy slow jog because why not, except just prior to it […]

Still regularly waking up with L.A. Guns’ “Electric Gypsy” in my head, but since that’s been covered in a recent “tracks of the week,” let’s go with another L.A. Guns song that jumped out at me this week: L.A. Guns: “Snake Eyes Boogie”: Particularly the line “They’d all like to […]

Die Mannequin: “Where Poppies Grow”: Played this one on last week’s Vampire’s Ball, kinda been stuck in my head off and on this week.   David Sylvian: “Riverman”: This one was also in last week’s Vampire’s Ball, although I’ve been listening to it for many years. Probably 20 by now, […]

Hey, it’s almost February. Don’t expect a Valentine’s special, though. Or if I did, it would all be obnoxious sleaze rock stuff. Anyhoo, here’s a few of the tracks that have captivated me this week. According to my last.fm, I listened to L.A. Guns damn near 300 times this week, […]

Guns N Roses: “Double Talkin’ Jive”: Found a cool live version from Rock In Rio in 1991. No detailed comment for now, suffice to say there’s an incident involving some double talkin’ jive bullshit right now and I want my motherfucking money back. And thus this song’s been in my […]

Two weeks again. Whatever. Anyway, finally picked up some Nazareth, though I already knew I liked at least a couple of their tracks via covers. So now I have this in my head: Nazareth: “Hair of the Dog”: Playing it live on European TV in the 70s. I have no […]

Hey, only 8 days later instead of a month! Anyway, been a bit of a weird week, here are the tracks that stand out in my mind from this week’s listening: L.A. Guns: “Nothing Better To Do”: Bassist Kelly Nickels’ fun little ditty, always loved this one [and fuck, I […]

[I keep calling these “this week” but then forgetting to post more than once every month or 6 weeks… Oh well…] First off, since I was up til 6:30am today on an L.A. Guns listening kick, here’s the official video for “Rip and Tear”: A little schlocky as any music […]

I suppose I ought to be giving a rat’s ass about the new NIN single, but it’s not doing anything for me. And if we had a time machine and took these two tracks back to 1994 Trent, I think it’s safe to say they would have been trashed, not […]
