James Greene Jr Dogs barking Beatles songs. Better than sex, money, cheeseburgers, farts, and skydiving combined. We had no idea that animals contributed so much to James’ love of music until now… Feeling uninspired/unmotivated/super flippin lazy this week, so here s a quick trip through the bowels of my iPod courtesy of that wonderful shuffle feature. L.A. Girl by the Adolescents Bratty So-Cal punks complaining about vapid area chick.
This song makes me think of Club Paris, because the first time I really listened to it I was stuck in traffic outside Ms. Hilton s then-newly opened nightspot near Church Street in my adopted hometown of Orlando, FL. Is that wretched place still open? Orlando, I mean. I thought they shut it down last year for having too many Wal-Marts. Anyway, before this gridlock, I usually skipped over L.A.
Girl to get to the four songs I consider the real hot spot of Adolescents - “Kids of the Black Hole,” “No Way,” “Amoeba,” and “Word Attack.” Nowadays, I pretty much give this sucker the full listen. Take It by Gluecifer The second cut from their final album, Automatic Thrill . A real rocker in every sense of the word. If this song were meat in a supermarket, it would probably be half a pound of ground chuck. Weird choral effect in the background. Very faint, though.
Secret Agent Man by Mel Torm The Velvet Fog takes on a rock n’ roll number with satisfying results. I always thought it was an interesting plot device on “Night Court” that Judge Harold T. Stone was obsessed with Mel Torm . Torm even did a few guest spots. That was cool. “Night Court” was a very funny show, I thought. High rewatchability factor.
