I was expecting it to be "sure 'it's ok, I could listen to it once in a while," but turns out I like it much  better than that

Bun E. Carlos - Greetings from Bunezuela!

Only a couple tricks in  on this one, and the guitars are loud and nasty as they should be, drumming is tigha as alwaus.    has lots of guest vocals from the likes of Robert Pollard,Robert Pollard, Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum, early Cheap Trick vocalist Randall "Xeno" Hogan, and Alejandro Escovedo.  Even the Hanson version of the Paul Revere and the Raiders track "Him or Me"  is pretty bad ass..

Bob pollard mentioned this from stage and I was like….'did he just name drop the drummer from cheap trick?"



and I had no idea this was going on
In 2013, Carlos filed a lawsuit against his former Cheap Trick bandmates, claiming that even though they claim that he is still a band member, he is not being allowed to participate in band-related activities, including recording a new album. The remaining three members of Cheap Trick filed a countersuit, seeking an official affirmation of their removal of Carlos. Their lawsuit was thrown out by a Delaware judge in late 2013. [7]

On February 26, 2015, Robin Zander announced that the lawsuit was over. ?We?ve settled our differences,? Zander continued. ?Bun E.?s a member of the band, but he?s not touring and he?s not recording. ? We?ve had our differences, but we?re all settled up now and hopefully we can forget about that era. These decisions that Cheap Trick makes, Bun E. is part of.?

not being allowed to participate in band-related activities…but he's in the band
WTF?

i've definitely listened to them more in the past 6 months than i probably did in their lifetime,  but that's not a bad thing.

Mixpak Records took over Rinse FM last night for their first show and it was AWESOME! If you're into Dancehall and other tropical sounds definitely check it out.

john scofield - blue matter
this was just before he was embraced by the jamband community,  which i always imagined he was somewhat nonplussed by, being such a bebopper at heart.
tough, angular playing in the early 80's mile vein.
