Then again, mindcrime makes me think that concept albums should be illegal unless your name is john darnielle so my tolerance for geoff tate is approximately nil

Albert King was first-rate everything.

There was this fifties-style diner in the town where I went to college, and I was in there a decent amount because it was a good place to get a burger and a shake and chat with your friends---i.e., it wasn't one of the bars, which were all horrifyingly apocalyptic. Because I'm the kind of nerd I am, as soon as I got in there, before I picked up my menu, I was loving with the jukebox controls at my table. And gently caress all that corny-rear end "It's My Party" and "Purple People Eater" poo poo, I made a beeline for the one CD all the way in the back of the thing, a Stax-Volt compilation. "Crosscut Saw" was the first thing I put on, nearly every time.


also, in that video, I love how at 25:40, SRV is playing but the cameraman just stays on King for a bit. Knows where his bread is buttered.

You forgot to post the matching watch that comes with this!

The watch is amazingly disappointing. If you're going to steampunk the poo poo out of a perfectly reasonable guitar and give a watch away with it, that watch had better be the most hosed up exposed-gear-having watch on the planet.

like clocks are basically the only things that have ever had as many gears to perform their function as lovely steampunk decorators think they need to put on poo poo, why would you make a boring watch to go with your stupidly unboring guitar?

also if you haven't clicked through to see the gear inlay on the BACK of the steampunk guitar, you're missing out.

I'm at a Sleep show (waiting for them to go on) and trying to count how many Marshalls they have on stage. It's no less than 10 ahahahaha

My ears are about to bleed. gently caress me.

They're playing here Thursday and I can't get off work.

This is like the fourth time they've played this area in the last few years and I haven't seen them once. (usually because it's part of a festival or sold out before I even hear about it)

gently caress this entire existence.
