Shut the fuck up Donny!
Just a little quickie for some fun. People often wonder what happens when Simone and I let loose some aggro on a weekend and end the evening tits up until sunrise. I think the body count usually ends up around 5-8, maybe more if Simone's ragging big time! and Goddess forbid if someone steps over the foul line when we bowl!
Saw this picture the other day and said, "that rug really ties the room together," and viola, I had a inspiration for a Lebowski wink and a nod. Just harmless amusement for me that hopefully gives everyone reading a good chuckle. BTW, the title comes from a television edit of The Big Lebowski which had the original line, "This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!" I'll have more goodness posted tomorrow!
Speaking of posts,, Holy shit snacks! This blog had 10k hits on Monday! I believe the most we'd ever gotten in a 24 hour time frame was 8800 or so, and was I ever amazed! Especially for a caption that was almost 5 years old. Maybe it was the subject matter, or people like the model big-time. I'm pretty sure it wasn't for my "desert island CD" lists ;)
Its hard to come up with one definitive album from Nick Cave, because like his hero, Johnny Cash, you pick and choose by your current mood. Profanely beautiful and Beautifully profane, the music sucks you in like a old time tent revival meeting. I chose Murder Ballads because he reaches into the past from our musical folklore, and lays it bare, unvarnished and unwashed. You feel like you need a tetanus shot about 10 minutes in, but like a campfire story of a serial killer with a red, right hand ( the official song is not actually on this album!) you cannot stop listening, compelled to absorb every single tidbit he dishes out. The first cut is more of a recitation sound poem, but it sets up the rest of the CD fairly nicely, which is book-ended with a slice of soul redemption originally written by Bob Dylan, but until then, every possible sin will be confessed to the heavens.
Bonus cuts:
One from the true man in black .. Delia's Gone
The two men recorded two duets together. This one and "Cindy".
