2009 What Happened To You?

Good lord.

I just realized that I never even bothered to plug in ONE entry into this blog througout 2009. Will I be arrested? Have a committed a crime against humanity?

Maybe I will I mean ... after all. I subjected you to senseless radio drivel like 1 Eskimo and Peal Jam all last year. I never interviened with some intelligent sounds. Shame on me. And, I forgot to mention some of the more interesting musical news thats occured lately... such as the death of Malcom McLaren, (inventor of the Great Rock and Roll Swindle.. one of the greatest rock films ever constructed and filmed).

I cannot believe I subjected all of you kids out there to the available media. I should have been more on top of things....
What will happen now?

Dead Milkmen - Big Time Operator - Revisited

1987 - Now That Was Music -- THE DEAD MILKMEN

It seems like a dream now. But one of these brilliant musicians is actually dead. The year 1987 seems like an entire lifetime ago -- in fact it was. But this song rings true like so many other songs of its era. It depicts an uplifting time when it seemed like anything was possible. In fact it was.

We still had MTV. And music was diverse.

It was before Pearl Jam, derivitive bands and Nirvana rip offs.


Enjoy, the song..... listen to its brilliance.
