Thighs Wide Shut

Travis is one of the most unappreciated bands going, which makes their frontman Fran Healy the most unappreciated frontman going, which means that most people are missing out BIG TIME on a whole lot of fun and lovely music.  Their/your loss!  You can keep yer Thoms & Radioheads and Chrises & Coldplays, cause we’d rather have our Frans & Travises and their awesomenessness!  Heck, seeing Fran and axe-man Andy Dunlop present a stripped down version of classic Travis ditties resulted in the 3rd greatest concert we had ever seen!!  So what would happen if you remove Andy and just let Fran go it alone?  The answer is his first solo joint, Wreckorder, and while it may not be the 3rd greatest album of all time, it’s equally as delicious and head-bobbin as any Travis album!  Out of the 10 cushy songs, 8 are udderly franztastic (much love to and for ‘Buttercups’ & the Neko Case duet on ‘Sing Me To Sleep’), with 2 being less than memorable.  We’re no mathmagician, but 8 outta 10 is purty dangs good, no? And having Paul McCartney play bass on one of yer songs aint bad, right?  Fran, please never stop, even if the world ignores your bestness.  And oh yeah, if yer reading this, get the boys together and put out a covers only album, PLEASE!!!  Hit me baby a million more times!!!

we’ve been waiting for this moment for all our lives…

maybe Mr Waters has been too!

and GE Smith three!!!!!!!

wish you were here/there?

Rock The Bells
Governors Island
August 28th

Bells were rocked at Rock The Bells, and sometimes they weren’t rocked at all, this past Saturday on Shutter Island.  Was it all a 7 layer dream, or was DiCaprio the killa bee on the swarm?????  What are we talkings about?  Dunno.  It was a hazy shade of a summer day out there on that isle, where we stayed awhile and did Coke in the Coke Den

no silly, it was the kind of Coke that you dranks, not that powdery shit you put up your nose that does nothing but keep you up til 6am and makes yer jaw twitch more than that dude’s head in Jacob’s Ladder

check out these other hot photos of Coked up Bells Rockaszzz

Boy oh boyzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!  Slick Rick was slick AND Rick.  KRS-One was like KRS-2.  Rakim paid us in full.  Jedi Mind Tricks didn’t work on us.  THOSE AREN’T THE DROIDS WE WERE LOOKING FOR!!!  Maybe these two were the ones we were looking for…

Lauryn Hill’s set was an absolute mess, but think that had more to do with the fact that she used a live band to support her jams and that band sounded like scooby DOO-DOO POOP POOP.  Very disappointing, but at least she showed up (late), as opposed to snot at all, like she did in MD yesterday (stop making excuses Talib).  No worries dun sun, cause Tribe Called Quest KICKED IT, YES THEY CANS.  No doubtttles they dids!!!!!!!!!!  5ft assasin wit the ruff neck bidness, and then the Clan took to the stage and we all screamed PROTECT YA NECK, cause our necks were so rockings the bells from THEIR AWESOMENESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!  think we’ve now seen em in concert like 5 times and everytime it’s like water for chocolate and a touch of heaven and a touch of mink!!! WU-TANG 5EVAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!  we skipped Snoop cause West Coast is the durst coast and Nate Dogg wasn’t there and we had to escape Stutter Island before the movie got too out of hand

here’s a gross and phillaic and sugar coated image of me and Joe E Tätä Esq for your indigestion…
