Toria,

Yes, it does! I remember this song from grammar school gym class.

Oh its brought back bad memories for me of gym class!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

That song was gym class as well as featured on a kid's television show in Washington, D.C. They would play the extended version with an audience full of kids going through the paces.

Regards,

Yes Cathy they would play what seemed to be an extended version everyday at the beginning of gym class. That was just for a warm up. We had these hideous blue uniforms we had to wash and iron weekly. Then we had to shower communally. It was a low point in my education. Of course I was skinny then so maybe it did some good.

Fearless Iranians From Hell (FIFH)

Butthole Surfers (OK, not so obscure)
Slobberbone
I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness
Mexicans With Guns
Boxcar Satan
Screwed Up Click

I am not psyched to hear any of it now, though.

Not all that obscure, really.

Check out the 2011 Chris Carter TG remasters. Esp. if you haven't listened to the originals in awhile.

Early Buttholes...up through Pioughed(and the solo work and Jackofficers) are one of my favorites(pretty much everything after Pioughed is crap except for the archives reissues and live releases). My first concert, actually, was the Buttholes; I was 11, it was Austin in the early-'80's.

Austin really had a vibrant music scene in the '80s and '90s; I kind of lost track after that. I think my favorite band from that era was True Believers with Alejandro Escovedo, Javier Escovedo, and Jon Dee Graham. Some of the bands associated with Alejandro were good, too, like the Skunks. And I've always liked Joe Ely's solo stuff (not the Flatlanders), especially with the late Jesse Taylor or David Grissom.

"Show Biz Blues" by the late '60s Fleetwood Mac lineup (and their best) of Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, and Danny Kirwan with the Mac rhythm section. Nothing like the mega-selling '70s pop group.

A demented surf-rock instrumental: "Destruction" by the Catalinas on jolio's party internet channel; followed by "Man What a Party" by Walton & the Silver Lake Boys.

Early, early Fleetwood Mac (the Peter Green assembly, not the mega group of the '70s) is teed up for listening pleasure this evening. The earliest formation of the group was a blues outfit of the first order. Go to youtunes for a great reading of "Show Biz Blues".

Now that's a great memory jog ... saw them live (Fillmore East) at the time and often feel like I imagined it given the later variations.

Merci!

I think the FM remake from a hardcore blues outfit to pop meisters is most remarkable. The Stones took a similar turn from blues cover band to rock heavyweights, but their blues output was not of the FM caliber.

I highly recommend "Man of the World," a documentary about the ill-faited Peter Green, who is still alive but not entirely well.

Have you tried listening to you kitchen appliances?

Anthony Bourdain
December 14, 2011 | Notes and footnotes
Memoirist, globetrotter, television host and foodie demigod Anthony Bourdain joins us in our series premiere to talk about his writing process. He is the author of “Kitchen Confidential” and a staff writer on HBO’s “Treme.”

“I was given an opportunity to tell a story. I told it as passionately and as quickly and as messily as I could. I never had delusions of being Nabokov or Proust. I've never agonized over sentences in my life.”

Horse Meat Disco was named for a newspaper headline reading Horse Meat Discovered in Salami.

"Jimmy Reed Highway" by Jimmy Vaughn (lead guitar) and Omar Kent Dykes (vocal).

Project for the weekend is to compile a playlist of Doc Pomus (real name: Jerome Felder) tunes. This prolific, generally unknown, paralyzed (polio) Jewish kid from NYC became a well-known blues shouter in the black clubs of the city and then turned to song writing. His first hit, a collaboration with Lieber and Stoller, was "Young Blood" as recorded by the Coasters. He later wrote many tunes for Elvis, including "Suspicion", "Viva Las Vegas", and "(Marie's The Name) Of His Latest Flame", and "Save The Last Dance" for the Drifters. A fascinating guy.

Johnny Winter's latest, "Roots", especially "Dust My Broom" with Derek Trucks; John Prine "The Singing Mailman Delivers", especially the disk recorded live at the Fifth Peg on Armitage in November, 1970, before he started playing at the Earl of Old Town; Haris Alexiou, almost anything, but always, always this; The President covering Al Green's "Let's Stay Together." (I am so hoping Romney responds with a pitch perfect cover of Gang Starr's Royalty.)
