Rancid @ Punk Rock Bowling 5/28/2023

The internet comes through again - I couldn't go to Punk Rock Bowling, but someone recorded and posted Rancid's whole set.



For when the music hits, I feel no pain at all.

Dirt Bike Annie - 20 year reunion live

Here is DBA's set from 6/10/23, 20 years after their last live show with all four of the band members. Which I was at, actually. The Continental, opening for The Ergs and MC Chris.

Anyway.

Last night:

Meg White

"I think she’s one of the best drummers of our time.” —Olivia Rodrigo

That's from an article on Elle about Meg White.

I agree. Her drumming - especially live - was just perfect. Not more or less than it needed to be, every time. And what a massive sound just Meg and Jack could make together.

The whole article is good, if all second or third hand, because Meg White doesn't do interviews.

And damn, I still miss the White Stripes. They were just amazing, album after album after album.

Rancid - Spirit of '87

This is a particularly slamming song on a pretty slamming album - Indestructable.

The video is all footage from their tour with GBH in Japan. Home is where the heart is, and for me, home is Japan. I can't wait to be there again and the video for this song - and thus the song - pull me back there every time I hear it.


Here's to me being home again soon.

Rancid - Alleyways & Avenues - Live 2016

Times are gonna change, change or step aside.

Jeff Beck

Jeff Beck passed away.

He was an utterly amazing guitarist. Here he is with the Yardbirds doing my favorite song of theirs.

Heart Full of Soul

Dropkick Murphys - The Season's Upon Us

Merry Christmas!

I'd never describe myself as a big fan of Dropkick Murphys but I've seen them live more than a few times. That's a combination of festival shows, co-headlining with Rancid, and them just being a fantastic live show every single time.

So Merry Christmas!
