I remember lying out in the backyard with SPF -10 back in the day with my friend Glen H listening to CJAM and requesting The Violent Femmes song Blister In The Sun and Gone Daddy Gone. The song I picked for S.O.T.D is going to be Add It Up though. Why can't I get just one? Lol. Gordon Gano wrote all this stuff while still in high school.

Sorry I am a bit late posting today as I was on the road to Brockville this weekend and thought I would be back Sunday night. The wife and I split the driving and I was the passenger on the last half of the drive. I heard a song that was appropriate by Siouxsie and the Banshees originally done by Iggy Pop.

Every time I hear this song the hair on my arms stands up. Really great punk rock anthem. If you have never heard this song then play the first video. The next two videos are live versions. There are plenty out there and they are all fun to watch.

Welcome to Friday the 13th. Maybe I should post a Freddie Kruger type song which would be Gwar or something like that. Naw.

I hope you had a fabulous weekend. Again everyday is the weekend for me now that I am retired. It is my son's 16th birthday, so happy birthday Aleksei. Don't know what hit me to put this one up but that's a rabbit hole we don't want to go down. Pure Morning by Placebo has a wonderful video with Brian Molko playing the part of a man that is going to commit suicide by jumping. I believe the rest of the band is in the video as characters also.

When you hear the name Elvis do you think of Elvis Presley? I don't. I think of Elvis Costello or maybe Elvis Grbac but this is about music so let's go with Costello. Pump It Up came out in 1978 and I was a senior in grade school. Way back. Enjoy your weekend.

Yeah I retired and I am thinking about my denouement. My dad did not make a year after he retired so it is the back of my mind. Anyways here is a great song from a great post punk band about what it might be like to get old. When I Get Old by the Descendents.

Here is a newer one says me. Well at least according to my musical tastes 2007 is recent, lol. Has some really good lyrics and a post punk beat. Has nothing to do with the Tretiak book either and nothing to do with Meatloafs "Paradise by the dashboard lights". Enjoy.

Well I was on the bike yesterday and I heard "Final Solution" by Pere Ubu. Man what a killer song. So it reminded me that I just heard this song from a friend Tom before I moved out to Vancouver for grad school in 1988. So I am in the city for less than a week and Pere Ubu is playing downtown. I believe John Cale of Velvet Underground fame was opening up. So I shoot off to this small club and the show is sold out. I am hanging out side and am bummed. I start talking to some dude outside and tell him my story that it's my first week in Vancouver and don't know anyone and the show is sold out. I let him know I just heard this song from a friend and no nothing about the band. LOL. Unbeknownst to me I have been talking to David Thomas, founder of Pere Ubu. He doesn't tell me whom he is but says he knows the door man and gets me in. Later when the headliners come on I was floored. Sorry for the long winded story but hell it is my blog. Here is a post-punk great tune and as a bonus is a great cover by Peter Murphy, lead singer from Bauhaus. The first video is Peter Murphy so you can understand the words as you will have a hard time with Pere Ubu's original live. The second video is from from Pere Ubu on the tour in 88 that I saw. I have also posted the lyrics below. If you are Canadian and making any amazon.ca purchases please click on my link below the video which will take you to amazon.ca. Thanks.

The girls won't touch me cause I got a misdirection,
If you ever wondered why The Smiths music was always on the sad side you will know after reading Morrissey. Headmaster's Ritual will make complete sense. It was not necessarily an easy read just because it was so sad. It was still a worthwhile read and if you are a Smiths fan it is a must read.

Seeing that I had Morrissey's book as a post it only made sense to pick a Smith's song for today. I used to love just dancing by myself on the dance floor when "How soon is now" came on. Just spinning around. Love the 80's. " I am human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does." Classic. What is also classic is Johnny Marr's guitar. What a great sound. Enjoy.

I always liked Goth. I mean girls and music lol. It was a great time in the 80's. I always loved David Bowie and Bauhaus did a fab job covering this classic tune.

Was thinking of you Dad. R.I.P. My Dad did give me more than a last name and was a great man. He lost his wife, my mother when I was not even 8 years old and moved in with his parents to help raise me. It must of been so hard for him and on him. I miss you Dad. Love you.
