This song is epic in some ways… I love all the shit going on in the background in the first half of the song, kinda buried in the mix.
“Star Maps” is such a great fucking album! Definitely The Possum’s crowning achievement. While I can’t be 100% certain, this might just be my favorite album of the 90’s.

Waiting for the bus…
I bled out quick! Took me 5 minutes to drop a pint. I don’t know if that is good or bad…
Oh man! This live version could peel the paint off the side of a whore house in Texas!
Generally, I don’t get too excited over hard blues rock, but there’s no doubt that ZZ Top can bring the rock in a live setting. While this was from 30 years ago, I wanna go see the Top at a rib burn off now!

I’ve been diggin’ on this track lately. The album is a good listen as a whole and I’ve spun it a few times over the past few months and enjoyed it and to top it off, there or two or three really great songs on the album!

Fred Frith - “Dancing in the Street/My Enemy is a Bad Man” - 1980
I remember when I first heard this on a Ralph Records 2xLP set I got in high school. It destroyed my mind and made me an instant fan of Frith. The controlled chaos thrilled me. It is so faithful to the original yet at the same time puts a gigantic twist on the song.
A great song to listen to on headphones for sure!
This was one of those songs that inspired me to get a 4-track and dick around with the fun of making music.
As this was the mid to late 1990’s, it was still kind of easy to get new old stock of early 80’s Ralph releases on vinyl at or below list price and I remember immediately tracking down Frith’s “Cheap at Half The Price” LP from 1983. I was lucky to get that album, as it fit my sensibility of disjointed, artful, adventurous 4-track poppy rock and I love that record still. Apparently when it was released it wasn’t avant-garde enough for the folks who cared, but it is my favorite early solo work of his and the only LP of his I could never bear to part with.

I love you Motown!

Rapeman - “Steak and Black Onions” - 1988
While I personally have nothing against vegetarians, I love this song. It has been popping in to my head for a few days now at the most random times.
The music kinda reminds me of some Nintendo game music I used to play in the late 80’s or early 90’s, which I find odd.

Pile o’ #turtles
Here comes the night!
Don’t know what this was all about, but they were hanging around W. 25’th & Lorain this morning.
This is so fucking Rock ‘n’ Roll it hurts! The Trick beating the shit out of a Dylan song like it was a rented mule! It is worth nine and a half minutes of your time!
