What are you listening to?

idk...some kinda babblin' nonsense from the front room. TV, I reckon.

 

Hook

Blues Traveler

Lyrics

It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel I'll convey
Some inner truth or vast reflection
But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
And it don't matter who you are
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks

Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

There is something amiss
I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I refer
To familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her
What made the Pan refuse to grow

Was that the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Suck it in, suck it in, suck it in
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
And then begin to see
What you're doing to me
This MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me

So desperately I sing to thee of love
Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
And I can't keep these feeling on the shelf
I've tried, well no, in fact I lied
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
To hide or slide
I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride till until I've died
And only then shall I abide by this tide
Of catchy little tunes
Of hip three minute diddies
I wanna bust all your balloons

I wanna burn of all your cities to the ground
But I've found, I will not mess around
Unless I play then hey
I will go on all day
Hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray
That's really all this was
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
I don't rely on luck

Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook
On that you can rely

Bad Words

 

Coup D'etat

 

Yes I have eclectic tastes

 

Iced Earth: The Glorious Burden ends with a 30 minutes masterpiece called Gettysburg (1863). It's actually 3 songs representing the 3 day battle. There used to be 3 different videos on youtube of the songs along with the fight scenes from the brilliant movie Gettysburg. I cannot find the individual videos but I did find this video. It's the song Gettysburg (1863) in it's entirely along with scenes from the movie. The music was recorded with the Prague Symphony Orchestra and it's easily one of the best you will ever listen to !!!

 

This is pretty cool

 

I remember these guys from '89-90 watching them at Cabooze in MPLS. It is a cool blues/hippy bar next door to an awesome biker bar (Whiskey Junction). Hardest partying ever, and never a problem.

This was when "But Anyway" and "Gina" tracks were still being bootlegged, and Popper was blowing out a bandolier's worth of harmonicas in a set.

Amazing group.
