Current Music, Just Isn’t The Same 

Anthony10 Comments

How do people listen to auto-tuned junk 

Rather than the protest of hardcore punk

Or George Clinton and his Parliament funk

Modern music, far too easy to debunk.

–

What would the youngsters do or say 

If they heard all the music I had to play

With unaided singer’s, all out on display

Non computerized instruments at the fray.

–

Probably, they’d find me crazy but I’m not 

Just using these enormous ears I’ve got 

Knowing a difference between art and rot

It’s just the weirdo that I am believe it or not.

–

Your music brain needs more to eat

Than loud bass and persistent beat 

Those songs feed my rapid retreat

Into my own music then I’m compete.

–

Don’t give me static when I cringe and frown 

When I hear overuse of bass going down 

I’ll wear my headphones like my crown

Playing the best music that can be found…

The Clash Police and Thieves

Anthony3 Comments

I have come to appreciate many forms and off-shoots of Punk Rock. Protopunk, bands like the Flaming Groovies, Television, The Who, and Velvet Underground. Pioneer Punk bands like: The New York Dolls, The Stooges, The Ramones, and many others. These led to a movement in the late 1970s in England to bands like the Sex Pistols, The Damned, and The Clash. Will save hard-core punk bands from the early 80s for another discussion, but I love them too, as well as the modern Punk Rock bands of the 90s and beyond.

A truly remarkable cover of the Junior Murvin reggae classic.  This is my favorite song by The Clash and it’s off of their self titled debut album.

Released in 1977, I love how this song starts, I love the beat, and I love the bass line on the bottom.  The guitar riffs on 2s and 4s with syncopated drums. Something very different and interesting. Joe Strummer with his cool vocals that would become the standard for many of their albums to come. 

Great political lyrics just like many clash songs have.

Very unique and different and I think you’ll get a kick out of this cover like I do. Be sure to play it loud and put on some headphones for this bad boy!! 

And as always, thank you for reading and listening…

My Poolside Paradise Mix

AnthonyLeave a comment

My poolside music.

Provides me a warm soundtrack.

Such an awesome mix…

–

Crossing all genres.

It’s mostly alternative.

With some classic rock.

–

Spanning many years.

From 60s to the 90s.

Such variety.

–

This is underground.

Compared to today’s music.

That’s how I like it.

–

The sun and the pool.

I’m surrounded by beauty.

And I’m rocking out!!!
