There’s not much to say about this song, Youdopia, other than it’s one of the best songs ever performed (in my opnion). This song was recorded live in the studio, on one of the first eight track recorders, back in the late 1950’s. If you can hear the original with headphones, you’ll hear Ray slapping [...]

Coolest Shit Ever: Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood playing Little Wing Live
4 Mar, 2010 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, musicBoolah Boolah, Youdopia. Great song. Clapton is spending the Sept of his years playing with who he wants. He told Rolling Stone that he always felt like a dick (paraphrasing here) because he pretty much just bailed on Blind Faith, because of drugs/fame. That’s why Clapton went underground (kinda) and went with Derek and the [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: The Kinks. They are a zillion times better than you think.
17 Jan, 2010 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, musicI realized recently that I like the Kinks a great deal. You probably do too, if you think about all the songs of theirs you like. Then add the fifteen more that you knew, but didn’t didn’t know were by them, and then three more that
you’ve heard before in commercials (HP’s picture book commercial from [...]
Happy Birthday, Jimmy Page. Check Out This Forthcoming Photographic Autobiography. I want it.
9 Jan, 2010 in Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, fnord, musicHappy Birthday, Jimmy Page! Today is a National Holiday in Youdopia. None shall toil. Jimmy is 66 today. You may be surprised that I am a fan of Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy Page. It’s true. Jimmy has written/compiled a photographic autobiography which is being published by Genesis Publications. They are an exquisitely wonderful publisher. They [...]
Youdopia, I want to share one of my favorite songs with you. Mr. Bad Example by Warren Zevon. It is funny, frenetic and fantastic cheesy. The video is from an appearance on Letterman, as if that’s not obvious, but you can hear the original by clicking on the image above. Yes, I love easter eggs. [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Led Zeppelin Playing Going Down South and Black Country Woman Live 6/27/77
21 Dec, 2009 in Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, Uncategorized, fnord, musicIt’s been awhile since I’ve done an obscure Led Zeppelin number. This one is a beaut. It’s from the final night of the legendary run at the LA Forum in 1977. I do not like the ‘77 tour, but I like the acoustic set from this tour, and I love this little blues ditty they [...]
What? You don’t know me. I’ve had this goddamn song in my head for six weeks. It’s strained my marriage and made the cats look at me funny. It’s viral. Achoo.Yes, that’s Conway Twitty. Not a word.
A Couple Of Wilburys and a Prince Send Off George Harrison, The Pirate
8 Oct, 2009 in fnord, music, wisdomI wanted to share these George Harrison videos with you, Youdopia. Why? Because I like you. You got a pretty mouth. I’m tired, and grumpy, so I’m not going to say much, other than Prince kicks ass on My Guitar Gently Weeps, which is at the George Harrison Memorial show. I kind of thought it [...]
For some reason I can’t save images to my disk, so.. sorry, Youdopia, we’re gonna have to go low fi with this. It is from Sept. 11, 2009, and it’s former Soundgarden and Audioslave singer Chris Cornell preforming Imagine. It’s really well done, and his voice is beautiful I hope you enjoy this lovely [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: A Cracker Concert From 1992. Can You Hear Me, St. Cajetan?
9 Sep, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, Uncategorized, fnord, musicBaby, don’t you drive around with Dr. Bernice.
That Ain’t a real Cadillac.
It’s a Delta 88 spraypainted black
With fake leather seats from Juarez
–Dr Bernice
I love David Lowery, oh my fair Youdopia. He’s the creative voice behind Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker. I found a lovely concert from 1992 on Dime A Dozen, and it made me [...]
Cool Beans! The Alloy Orchestra Scored the Music for A New Cartoon, Zoot Rumpus.
8 Sep, 2009 in fnord, humor, musicThis is pretty cool, Youdopia. My cousin, Terry Donahue (the fella on the left) and his band, the Alloy Orchestra, have written and performed the music to a new cartoon. They usually score new music for old silent films, and this is something new for them. The ‘toon is called Zoot Rumpus, and it’s as [...]
He said I sold my blood for money
There wasn’t any pain
But I just can’t stand the feeling
It’s in someone else’s veins
Youdopia, sometimes fame is a demon. If Joan Osborne hadn’t had a huge hit with “What if God Was One of Us?” I think she would be a thousand times more famous than she is [...]
The Tortoise and The Hare, Or.. Why John Paul Jones > Jimmy Page
31 Aug, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, Led Zeppelin, fnord, musicVale, Youdopia. John Paul Jones’ new band is totally awesome. I don’t like them, but they kick nine different varieties of ass. And… when you see the footage, and hear the harmonies, bass, keyboards, etc… you cannot find the senior citizen in the group. Them Crooked Vultures is a great band. A real band. A [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Faith No More, A Stagedive, And Hot Butter Popcorn At Pukkelpop
30 Aug, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, musicThis is one of the cooler things I’ve seen lately, Youdopia. Being a child of the 90’s (and 80’s, and 70’s) I like … some… of Faith No More’s songs. Mike Patton is definitely eclectic, and I’m really not. I like some Mr. Bungle, I respect John Zorn, and have given many of Patton’s projects [...]
Hello, Youdopia. I’m broadcasting from a new HQ. I wanted to share this Syd Barrett gem with you. Some of you (the Gus) know this as one of the “canonical” Syd tunes, but I am a mere amateur in the world of Syd.
For those of you who know not he, Syd was the original muse [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: John Paul Jones’ New Group – Them Crooked Vultures
11 Aug, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, Led Zeppelin, fnord, musicIt’s true, Youdopia. Jonesy has a new band. A real band, to boot. Dave Grohl is on drums, and Josh Homme, from Queens of the Stone Age. Take a look at the pictures from last night’s gis (8.9.09) and see if you can pick out the 63 year old. I’m glad that Jonesy is staying [...]

7 Jul, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, Jimmy Page, fnord, musicThis is from Sept 20 or 21, 1983, at the Royal Albert Hall. This is the first of the ARMS Concerts, which starred Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Steve Winwood, Joe Cocker, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, Paul Rodgers, and everyone else in the world. It was a benefit tour for Faces bassist, Ronnie Lane. [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: The Peanuts Dance To Led Zeppelin Covering Eddie Cochran’s “C’mon Everybody”
26 Jun, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, fnord, musicWe’re getting back on track, Youdopia. I just saw the trailer for Zombieland, and I think it’s going to be a great summer. Ok. Someone made a nice video of the Peanuts dancing, and synced it to what to my ears sounds like the 1/9/70 Royal Albert Hall multitrack of Led Zeppelin performing C’mon Everybody, [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Lou Reed Singing Fly Into The Sun
10 Jun, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, musicI have been on a bit of a Lou Reed kick lately. Today it is the album New Sensations. My favorite song from that album is Fly Into The Sun. It’s a lovely piece of music, simple and eloquent, like Lou can be at his best. Lou Reed is pretty amazing, and this song is [...]

Television Sux is a blog run by my oldest friend. This video made me laugh at a time when laughter usually is accompanied by a coppery taste. Thank you, my friend. Yes, this is the Funniest Shit [...]
