A few small CD reviews:

Jame Blood Ulmer’s Memphis: The Sun Sessions; Bob Mould’s Body & Soul; Mark Lanegan’s Blues Funeral – all great.

Patti Cialfa’s last one was loaned to me – damn!, is it good. Lucinda on steroids with cool identifiable Broooce-isms from her mouth.

The Stroke’s latest: notta hit, and all y’all missed some good shite.

Mission of Burma, Sound, Speed, Light – really lovin’ it.

RHCP’s latest – intricate arrangements, actually, and it’s been growing on me, a sleeper.

Lucinda Williams, Little Honey – still cool, not her best, just better’n most of the rest.

The Friday Project w/ Dino, Sr. : “Pictures (Make alotta Money)”

Pictures (Make alotta Money)
c. ’12 The Friday Project w/ Dino, Sr.

I got my eye on you
I think the light’s just right
And I’ll cry if you do
Sompin’ to wreck this night

CH: We’re gonna get these pictures
Gonna make you immortal
Gonna get these photos, yeah
make a lotta money

Spread out and get comfortable
comfortable as you can get
Work it on out as ya wanna
C’mon, baby, show a little sweat
CH:
Strike a pose, baby
whatcha say, “Vogue”?
CH:
I know you don’t wanna
kneel before any man
But I’m askin’ ya baby,
doya think ya can?

Some CD quik-reboo’s

Patti Cialfa’s last one was loaned to me – damn!, is it good. Lucinda on steroids with cool identifiable Broooce-isms from her mouth. 4/5 olives.

The Stroke’s latest: notta hit, and all y’all missed some good shite.  4/5 olives.

The Cult’s latest: guilty pleasure. 3/5 olives.

James Blood Ulmer’s Memphis: what it should be, and you would never expect – like dry-rub, awesome.  4.5/5 olives.

The Cowboy Junkies’ latest: I’m a fan, I know ’em all the way, any other band, this would go all the way;  them:  3.5/5 olives, ‘cuz there’s no “hit”.

The Friday Project w/ Dino, Sr.: “Demon (You’re a)”

Demon (You’re a)
c. ’12 The Friday Project_w_Dino,Sr.

You steal, you lie
You look like yer gonna cry
You act almost like yer human

One would almost think you was a real girl
Instead of a demon come from the underworld

You sweat and you moan
You cry out you want a home
You act almost like yer human

One would almost think you was a real girl
Instead of a demon come from the underworld

You steal, you lie
You always make me cry
You act almost like yer human

One would almost think you was a real girl
Instead of a demon come from the underworld
One would almost think you was a real girl
One would almost think you was a real girl

A cool act recording, like us, with the Zoom R16

The Friday Project: “Mushroom Sally”

For the cabinetpin.com 20th of the month challenge

Mushroom Sally
c. ’12 The Friday Project

Sally was a potato, a spud growing in the
field,
Sally was a hot tomato, you just knew that
she would yield

CH: A mushroom growing growing in the
dark
would have more brains
A mushroom growing growing in the dark
Wouldn’t have her pain

Sally was a genius,
at least if, you asked her
Sally never had no meaness in her
She was full of tears and little laughter

Sally crapped out in the game we found out
Sally checked out, leaving no last name

The Friday Project: “Goin’ In Hot”

All thru the Presonus Eureka pre (except drums & bass)

Goin’ In Hot
c. ’12 The Friday roject

Sally’s in the alley, she’s got a wheel gun
Jessie’s around back and she’s carryin’ a long one
Willie’s on the stoop and he’s locked and loaded
Jackie’s coverin’ from the roof top and Sammie’s aimin’ from the road

And me, I’m the best we got
I’m goin’ in hot

They took her Friday but I really don’t remember
I been layed out cold but I’m awake now to avenge her
And Kathy called a old friend who is still in the department
And now we’re at this dead end and we’re gonna take ’em apart

They ain’t know we’re out here, won’t know nothin’ at all
When I take out their front door like a scene from Peckinpah
And I’ll be comin’ out alone, not a bullet to my name
And they’ll be left layin’ dead to make up for her pain

Cuz me, I’m the best we got
I’m goin’ in hot
