ANOTHER DAMN GRAB BAG

Here's some unrelated stuff that I could probably tie together if I tried, but it's easier to just call it what it is: unrelated stuff that I don't feel tying together. In other words, more stuff from the junk drawer.

The first one is a video I came across. Usually these sort of after market home edited video specials blow, but this one is good. The audio is the Groupies' "Primitive" (the one the Cramps covered), and the visual is an old clip of burlesque stripper Blaze Starr. The fit together really well. Is it safe for work? You should just turn it all the way up, lean back in your chair, go full screen on your bad self, and find out.

I couldn't find an mp3 of the Cramps cover, but in the hunt for it, ran into a bounty of Southern Culture On The Skids live stuff, including a cover of "Primitive." There's 40 shows of theirs at the link below, which begs the question: are Southern Culture on the Skids shows some sort of Deadhead rehab? I spot checked a few and some are entirely listenable. I'll let you figure out which ones are up to your particular snuff.

Next up is a totally unrelated (I can't emphasize that enough) song I just had to post. It's unfortunate that the mp3 shows the name of the band and the song, because it would be better if you didn't know anything about the origin. It takes all sorts, and in the case of this little ditty, I have to admire their over-the-top-ness. It's grind core, death metal, or something-or-other core. I'll call it "Beavis and Butthead meet the Tazmanian Devil core" because that's what it sounds like. Just listen to it, and see if it doesn't bring a "stoners let loose in Guitar Center" smile to your face. What makes it more amusing is that it's labeled as a demo, which means they were presumably recording it to get it down before going into the studio, or an even funnier possibility, to try and get signed.

Os Mutantes

Then, down there at the bottom are a couple Os Mutantes songs that were posted on Aquarium Drunkard. Just throwing them down there as a palate cleanser. Aquarium Drunkard is another one of the fine blogs that I always seem to end up at, and worth bookmarking.
