Stone Temple Pilots - Tiny Music..


Hey Bottle. I deleted some of your stupid hasty and inaccurate posts.

Thanks, Skip.

You wanna do an album tonight?

No, not really. 

C'mon. I'm sure you've got one lined up.

Why? Why bother? I'm too angry. I say things wrong when i'm angry. Then i have to apologize, and get everything back on track, and i'd rather just nip myself in the bud before it gets worse. Plus, my copy of STP's third album has some horrible disgusting goo on it.

Spit polish?

I hadn't even tried.

Now Bottle, you were the one who said it's perfectly fine to be wrong or dumb as long as your brain didn't get messed up. 

Yeah, i did.

Well, you got two thumbs right?

[Lick, wipe, wipe, insert, press play]

Well what do you know? It worked. Dear Sen. Lankford, i was wrong to criticize your speech this evening. I took the liberty of being grateful that my editor deleted it, but i said it and i was so eager to crap on you that i just spiraled into insanity. I still say the senate needs to pass a no Reagan quotes rule, but i'm eating the humble kidney pie this time. Chewy.

Look, those people today are who Trump has been talking to this whole time. The crazies. 

Also look, i'm a no bs kind of guy, and you have to realize that Trump owes more people more money than you could earn in your entire life. Nothing's for free. Does anybody know how that story really goes? Yes.

Aw, man, we crapped out at Lady Picture Show and i had to skip to Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart. I'm not myself, i'm not dead, and i'm not for sale. 

I don't know how you could say there's no personality, this is a DeLeo Brothers album. They aren't required to only play 1 type of music. They were just writing songs for two different bands. Later on they sat down and decided which singer to use for which song. I haven't heard whatever the other album was, but this one is great. In part that's because Scott Weiland isn't being such a dick on it. He's still doing whatever drugs Courney Love was doing on probation, but it's not like he's stealing cars or robbing gas stations for all that drug money. He got busted buying: probation not prison.

Yes, i know, Kurt's widow. Again, no victim, no crime. People are allowed to be pricks as long as they accept the consequences. Scott's consequences were Velvet Revolver and being dead, but he doesn't have to apologize like those Republican senators who had to change pants this afternoon.

Uncool joke, Bottle. Ok, fine. Sorry. It's been a week and a half, but it's only Wednesday. I never said i was great, in fact the opposite, but i'm my own worst enemy and the truth's getting farther and farther, and Bottle (hey that's me) keeps churnin', so maybe we just all take a moment to be thankful that a few more people have joined the side of quitting the charade. 5 years later, surely no one will notice the swimming pool, alligator, and shrine...

Fuchsia Chicken - A Surfin' Bird

Image
There's a chicken Surfing in the sky, He'd like to come and meet us, But he's still a little shy... I will always eventually shamelessly plug my friend Steven Stark, and his latest melodic-electronic project is Fuchsia Chicken's debut album A Surfin' Bird. It lies somewhere on the spectrum between Yacht Rock and dentist office adjacent Vaporwave, and I couldn't be happier.  For one thing, I'd rather follow an intergalactic surfing chicken than some of the leaders we have down here on terra firma. For another, it's nice to hear something not very serious for a change. I know, I know, it's still musically serious, the chord changes and orchestration will twist your brain into a deliciously salty pretzel, and the concept reminds me of a cross between Ziggy Stardust and Bluebird from Nektar's Remember The Future, but it's easy on the central processing unit without being over the top ridiculous like The Electric Cow Goes Moooooog!  Give it a try,...

Meat Puppets

Image
There comes a time in every man's life when you have to ask yourself "is Meat Puppets really that good?"  Not the band in its entirety, but their self-titled debut. Women can ask it too, but it's not compulsory. Yes. It sounds like it was written and performed by puppets made of meat. I'm coincidentally reading Jason Pargin's John Dies At The End, and this is exactly what the opening scene with the meat monster in the basement freezer sounds like in my brain. Saying they can't play their instruments is not at all true. Maybe you're not "supposed" to play them that way, but it's definitely on purpose and well rehearsed. And yet, Meat Puppets makes Butthole Surfers sound cold and calculated and constructed by committee after several rounds of test screenings. Meat Puppets sounds like everyone in the studio was too scared to politely ask them to leave. It's true, I like Meat Puppets II better, but I don't think i can argue that's...

doubleVee - Treat Her Strangely

Image
I like to joke about Bottle's Taxonomy of Music, but i'll just let you search through the posts at albumsforeternity.blogspot.com (it's real easy, just use the magnifying glass/search bar). The important thing for tonight's review is that track-2 cool-downs are terrible. You know who knows better? My penpals, the Vests, as doubleVee.  I have never met Barb and Allen, but they are both a part of the fabric of my existence through no actual fault of their own. Allen, of course, fronted one of my favorite bands in the universe, Starlight Mints. Apologies in advance for how long it will take to get to the actual album, but i figured story time is much more interesting than whatever convolutedly creative way i come up with to say "it's freakin' awesome."  My friend Stephen Hughes had an extra ticket to see Flaming Lips at whatever they called that building to the northeast of the minor league ballpark in Bricktown (Coca-Cola Colosseum, or who cares), and he...
