MY NEW FAVORITE BAND

Something's been bothering me lately: why would anybody waste their precious time listening to an American band trying to sound like South-Africans, when they could spend this time doing something much more rewarding, like listening to Afrikaners trying to rap like Americans - like MY NEW FAVORITE BAND?

GOODBYE HAWK

DALE HAWKINS died yesterday.
He was a rock'n roll legend.
He laid the groundwork that CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL and to some extent NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE would develop upon.
Hear THE HAWK WALK.

L'ITALIE

Sure Ennio is #1, but that doesn't mean the other Italian soundtrack composers should be forgotten. Praised be Piero Umiliani, Armando Trovaioli, Piero Piccioni, and...
STELVIO CIPRIANI.

LOOK SHARP!

Some people say ZZ TOP jumped the shark when they came up with the idea of blending MIDI-track and sequencers with their usual boogie. Fuck that!
Sure, in retrospect, now that we know they'd turn out to sell millions, one could see this move as selling out. But think about it: had that kind of rock (digital Southern rock) ever been tried before - or since for that matter? Wasn't that a bold move, one that requires major TexMex cojones? I say that was a highly original idea, completely groundbreaking, and the resulting album, ELIMINATOR, is easily one of the best albums of the eighties. So if someone comes a hatin' on the Top, THROW EM IN AND WAVE EM.
