she's not a beauty and she don't wear fine clothes...

i am totally obsessed with this song. have been since i was a little kid.

it's from an episode of the partridge family that just kills me. it's called 'soul club'. the partridge family visit the ghetto. guest starring lou gosset jr and richard pryor. plus boomer from battlestar galatica plays the leader of a black panther type organization. keith and richard pryor co-write a song ("kind of an afro thing").

here's the visual.

too exhausted for words tonight.

besides words can not express how much i love this song.

you don't have to prove
your manhood to me constantly
i know you're the man can't you see
i love you righteously

why you wanna dis me
after the way you been kissin' me
after those pretty things you say
and the love we made today

when you run your hand
all up and run it back down my leg
get excited and bite my neck
get me all worked up like that

think this through
i laid it down for you every time
respect me i give you what's mine
you're entirely way too fine

arms around my waist
you get a taste of how good this can be
be the man you ought to tenderly
stand up for me

flirt with me don't keep hurtin' me
don't cause me pain
be my lover don't play no game
just play me john coltrane

from world without tears...

lucinda williams - righteously

there's a fire...

nothing much going on this week. i worked. i played with the dog. i attempted to sleep. oh, this morning i woke up and smelt smoke. i briefly considered panicking, but i was too exhausted. plus it smelt more like cooking than fire. i thought maybe it was coming from outdoors so i stuck my head out the window and yep, the smell was coming from outside. i guess someone was bbqing breakfast at 8 am.

have a good weekend everyone. i might go to a hot rod show today but more likely, i will stay home, cleaning and organizing. i feel quite frazzled in my home lately.

rock rock till you drop...

well, i did it! i finally saw the smokin' 45s. after two misses in calgary, i saw them last friday in vancouver at pat's pub.

vancouver's los caminos opened. they play instrumental surf rock. they were good, but not really my thing to see live.

while we were waiting, the singer from the smokin' 45s started handing out t-shirts. cool ones. well, to be honest, he started throwing out shirts. my friend and i each caught one. then we felt bad because we had to ask if we could exchange them. i mean, we were flattered he thought we were that tiny, but....

the smokin' 45s played an awesome set. rockabilly with the heavy emphasis on country. the singer is also the drummer and he plays right up front. and even tho his kit is tiny (can you even call it a kit?), it's not minimal at all.

i love a stand up bass, especially when the bass player does this! and check out those shoes!

we bought cds after the show. five bucks! how cool is that? and i loved the fact that when i was buying them, the singer introduced himself to me.

it's too bad there weren't more people at the show. but those of us that did show up, had a good time.

the last bad was six pack jacket. rockabilly with more of a punk edge.

my brain isn't really working that well today and i'm having trouble writing. let's just say i had a good time at the show, i loved the smokin' 45s, and if you like rockabilly you should buy the cd.
it was even worth some drunk skanky chick kickin' me in the stomach while she was trying to dance. and i'm totally glad i skipped out on a mini-reunion of sorts.

and here it is, your new music tuesday track.

smokin' 45s - small doses

have a good week everyone!

rock of ages...

it's been a weird week. i'll share more on that later.

i was amused by seeing this guy walking towards skytrain in my hood caring a big fake boulder. i assume he was coming from the movie prop shop. and it looked like he was going to take the skytrain to wherever he was going. i mean, if he drove, wouldn't he have parked in the lot?

it's friday and it's time for random top ten.

1. stablemate - palace music
2. american life – madonna
3. girl’s club - bill janovitz
