Favorite bass player

May 13th, 2008

Since drummer week was well recieved, now we bring you bass player week.

I’m going to make it pretty simple. Just going to keep it to rock bassists, as I find that not as many people dig Mingus as I do.

Happy voting:

Nothing is planned by the sea and the sand

May 12th, 2008

I ended up at the beach this weekend. For better or worse I despise last minute plans but since this idea was mine, I decided for once I’d let it go.

The salt air always seems to make me feel better. I don’t know if I’d actually call it relaxing, but the golf ball size pockets of anxiety that usually visit me every other hour were reduced to the size of butterbeans for a few days.

I know some folks dig the mountains, but let’s face it, the mountains are just big piles of dirt. The beach has the beautiful roar of the ocean, the cool junk shops littered across the landscape, and the occasional bikini. How many bikini’s do you ever see in the mountains?

Third of Never recorded a song called “Redneck Riviera” for our current album MOODRING Third of Never - Moodring. I wrote the song based around things that happened/things that I wish had happened at Emerald Isle. It’s a bit of a goofy song, but our buddy Carolyn in New Jersey digs it, so that’s good enough for me.

Help us all push back the Monday blues with some beach stories.

The person that leaves the best beach story will be sent a free MP3 of “Redneck Riviera”.

What a bargain.

How old is your car?

May 9th, 2008

My vehicle is coming up on it’s 15th birthday. Ol’ blue drinks gas like a teamster drinks Pabst Blue Ribbon. The relic still runs and it’s paid for, so we may be together forever.

How old is your car?

Drummer winner and reasons to be apolitical

May 8th, 2008

Keith Moon got the most votes in the drummer poll, so congratulations Keith.

I have to tell you that after covering a tiny part of the primaries this week, along with the constant barrage of Obama/Clinton coverage, I’m thinking of going the way of the Jehovah’s Witness.

A friend of mine that is a Jehovah’s Witness told me that in their religion, they don’t get involved in politics….they don’t even vote. Rather, they pray for whomever gets into office. To me, this sounds more logical than voting for a bunch of schmucks that either get nothing done or do incredibly dumb things.

Little Feat and Mick Taylor get apolitical:

Larry King and Snoop discuss politics:
