SUP TARDS!
Really, Sympathy for the Devil? Really? Has Jon Avnet seen any movie besides Scorseses?
Pineapple Express=thumbs up. Ridiculous to the fffffffffffffffffffff *coughcough* nth, but really freakin funny.

Sympathy for my hat.
“Brothers and sisters, c’mon now. That means everybody just cool out.”
You’ve seen the movie and you’ve heard those words. But not quite like this. This is all 79 minutes of the Rolling Stones set at the Altamont Speedway show Dec. 6, 1969. “Gimme Shelter” makes it seem like the Stones played 8 minutes and were off the stage. But here is an audience recording of the concert in all its storied, sordid glory. Yup, you hear that jamoke singing along to “Gimme Shelter,” you hear fans wrastling early on (be cool!) during “Sympathy for the Devil,” you hear Jagger introduce the live debut of “Brown Sugar” and you hear the melee (”The Melee”) that breaks out during the famed rendition of “Under My Thumb” — the crunching, the commotion, the call for an ambulance, all of it — during the stabbing of Meredith Hunter.
A full shakeup of the day’s fallout is recounted here by Salon.com and, of course, here is the obligatory YouTube clip. And a (ermm) slideshow of photos by Bill Owens.
This bootleg is commonly (if distastefully) referred to as “Killer Festival” or “There’s No Angel Born In Hell.” It is only a fair audience recording — basically it sounds like they used the tape to build the Panama Canal one cassette scoop at a time — but it’s irrelevant considering you are placed square inside the mayhem. Just add headphones and amphetamines.
The whole zipchilada
The last installment (for this week anyway…………) of the Stones stash. This one’s dubbed “Lonely at the Top,” and unfortunately, as a collection, doesn’t come with as much (confirmed) info, but several tracks have been culled from the Place Pigalle breakdown, far as we can tell. We tried to cross reference everything but long division was never our strong suit (and send that through a 2 am, 4 vodka sodas ringer and we’re not into passing on misinformation).
As mentioned yesterday, “Drift Away,” with Nicky and Billy holding it up, is the inarguable highlight. The scratch of Sweet Home Chicago might get Gregor going, Keef fans will appreciate the mastered up version of We Had It All (previously seen on ParisV2), Living Is A Harder Love reveals an early (non-reggae-”ish”) “Luxury”, and while Gangster’s Maul is standard issue, well, we get a kick out of picturing Gregor coming home at 4am (circa 1997 mind you), spreading out every single CD he owns, and singing this well-soaked Tattoo You-spiked (if Memory Motel regurged) number: “Went downtown….I love that girl with all my heart *tosses his lobster claw* …. I seen it all… I seen the world….*lobster claw high five* shiny cars! Liz Phairs, they’re all the same…. I’m not the marrying kind…. SHINY carrrrrzzzzzzzzth”
Try it — it’s fun.
Again. A minor! Let’s repeat it! Again! Keep going!

Buffalo Tom doesn’t tour often, so those of you outside New England probably haven’t had a chance to see Bill Janovitz recently, doing what he does best (other than sell houses to “some rich folk that you know” and keeping the creators of the Facebook poker app happy). But those of us who live in Boston are lucky enough to catch him a few times a year, either solo, at Hot Stove/Cool Music or with side projects like The Show People and Crown Victoria.
Tomorrow night, Bill wraps up a monthlong residency at Toad in Cambridge, the cozy bar where, two years ago, Red Sox GM Theo Epstein (comments disallowed for Yankees fans) and Eddie Vedder joined in for a few songs post-Pearl Jam show at the Garden. (Garden capacity=18,000. Toad capacity=~50.)
He’s been doing some new stuff, some cuts from Crown Victoria’s debut, “Fireworks on TV,” some solo Buffalo Tom trax, and some ripper classics (Kinks, CCR, Stones, Bill Withers, Sam Cooke, the Beatles, etc) during the three-hour sets. The video below, taken at last week’s show, includes the Rolling Stones’ “Shine a Light” and a Boston classic, “Roadrunner,” by the Modern Lovers. Comes in after six, I believe.
And a Buffalo Tom oldie, “I’m Allowed”

ok, well, we probably wont be going down for a day or so. so, i kind jumped the gun on that one. its an annoying character flaw of yours truly - jumping the gun that is. although, i am sure anyone that knows me can pick out a few more.
i am sure these guys, vietnam, have been all hyped up around the net by now, and if they havent, they should have been. damn dirty hippies they are or is it thrift store chic, i dont know, but do they make a glorious racket. if you took the stones, sonic youth, a more coherent black mountain, took their respective man juices and forced bob dylan to have their child, you may have vietnam. they released their full length self titled debut back in january.
here is the remainder of the kozelek/sun kil moon show.
