Just Because We Are Still Alive...

It don't mean that there won't be no apocalypse sometime. So to keep you on your toes here is some spine chilling rock and roll courtesy of Mr Vic Chestnut to prepare you for the desolate charred landscape of man's making that you will one day soon drag your hungry children across in the pointless pursuit of a safe future. Repent ye sinners! Repent!

How Do You Tell A Child That Someone Has Died?

The last time I saw the Black Lips live some maniac Spanish man bit me on the arm.  I like the Black Lips even though they clearly are a bunch of arseholes.  Still they are not afraid to ask the big questions, like this one here.

Soulful Sunday

The Bee Gees' manager Robert Stigwood wanted Barry Bee Gee to write a soul song for Otis Redding. Barry Bee Gee, along with Robin Bee Gee wrote "To Love Somebody", a soulful ballad in the style of Sam & Dave or The Rascals. However, Redding died in an airplane crash before he could record the song.
The song was written on a boat in Monte Carlo the day the Beatles manager, Brian Epstein was found dead (August 1967). The Bee Gees heard the news from Robert Stigwood's assistant. The song was later covered by Nina Simone who,as you will hear knocked that S.O.B. right out of the park!
