ALTAMONT SATURDAY NIGHT! Well, it's that time of the year again when I always pause and recognize this Important Day In Rock, No Essay this time thank God, you can read last years if you so desire, THE HORROR!!

"It was 45 years ago today,
 the Hell's Angels told the bands to play"
Here's a link to last year's article and I put fresh
links for the 2-cd version of festival.
We also salute the braved "Altamont Bootlegger"
who legend has it passed away many years ago.
The Horror!!


Revisiting the FIFTH ROD STEWART Solo Album called "SMILER" but a major change taking place wasn't making many fans Smile, ya dig what I'm sayin'? So was this album such a let down and why so many people at Rod's House, THE HORROR!!

After the first 4 solo albums, things started taking a
major turn with this album, an over-produced
to the point of muddy collection of tunes which
actually imo contained a lot to Smile about.
It's definitely one of the more interesting titles
in Rod's catalog, like the black sheep.
LET ME BE YOUR CAR - Elton John teams up with 
Rod on this nice honky tonk rocker. This track is
great but kind of got swept under the rug.
MINE FOR ME - Rod covers Paul McCartney on this
really sweet tune that closes the album.
HARD ROAD - One of my all-time favorite Rod rockers,
and Ron Wood plays some classic guitar.
Link to these songs/album on Amazon. 
The Horror!!




you better watch out cause "BORN LOSERS" are inside the House! 1967 Biker B-Movie has the Original Billy Jack character as he goes up against a Squad of Boots, Bikinis and Whacked-Out Sunglasses, THE HORROR!!

around this next corner, it's "STINGRAY"! very rare 1978 drive-in flick about a '64 car of the same name and what's inside that car that these dudes just bought, eh? This one goes out especially to Ed over at Ed's Attic, you know, the guy with the boots and the soft-core porn? (Full Movie)

Yep, they don't make 'em like this no more, 
this one is ultra-rare, only printed on VHS,
which start at $125 used on Amazon,
someone upped the whole thing on You Tube
and for that we thank you kind sir!

FULL MOVIE
The Horror!!

THE FACES 1971! "BBC Broadcast" is the title of this Cd Boot i got in a trade about 10 years ago, i've searched high and low for the source and always wind up at a dead-end, i know this much, it's 1971, it's BBC, ya dig me?

13 songs, starts with Three Button Hand Me Down after
a quick tease of You're My Girl, excellent sound, must-have
"I can't figure out which Faces show this is!"...

ladies and germs, it's "PATTI SMITH COVERS THE ROLLING STONES"! Say what?! It's a Horrific Exhibit indeed as the Godmother Of Punk Does The Stones As Only She Can, Ya Dig What I'm Sayin? Well Horrific FRIED EGG EVE To Ya!!

Classic stuff indeed...link.
This is an original Tarot card I designed in 2009.
It was the 11th and last one I did before abandoning
the project, too many copyright issues.
Secret footage of Ed from Ed's Attic at the holiday
pool party....The Horror!!






NEW BOOTLEG SINGLE! PHIL LESH & FRIENDS "WEST LA FADEAWAY" a 2014 version with Female Vocals, I believe it's Emily one of his singers takes the lead on this surprising and Horrific Version remastered by...THE HORROR!!

rather like the way this one turned out, showdate
is 7-30-14, the capture is in the public domain,
I added a touch of EQ, edited front and end,
theres a real soft part before ending which
I really spent some time working on bringing
out all the instruments, spot of reverb, enjoy!

The Horror!!

Revisiting 1999's "DOUBLE JEOPARDY" everybody likes a good mystery every now and then right? and so what if Ashley Judd can't act her way out of a paper bag....oh no he didn't...THE HORROR!!

Have always liked this one and don't really know
why. Oh yeah, his name is Tommy Lee Jones!

"WET ESCAPE"
The Horror!!

ALICE COOPER RADIO SHOW - KILLER LOVE IT TO DEATH! this is an amazingly cool show where Alice talks about the two legendary albums, tells stories about early formation of band, plays a couple Tunes, THE HORROR!!

Imagine walking into your 12-year-old's room and
finding THIS on the wall. That's what my poor
mum was subject to. The Horror!! link
The Sheer Horror!!


look out around this next corner, it's "THE DEADLY BEES"!! yikes, there's something actually worse than these Bees though and That's THIS FILM! 1967 British Horror Thriller Is SO BAD IT'S BAD, Ya Dig Me? The Horror!!

If there's one thing I fear, it's BEES! The Horror!!
However, then there's Suzanna Leigh. Yummy. 

CLASSIC SCENE 1

CLASSIC SCENE 2
It's widely available. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing!
The Sheer Horror!!


around the next corner it's "STINKFOOT IN HOLLYWOOD"! It's a CLASH VINYL BOOT from Historic Show At The Hollywood Palladium in 1982, well Horrific Thursday To Ya In Whatever Part Of This Horrific World You Reside!

it's all SO horrific....;-)
The Horror!!

around this next bend, look it's the "DIAMOND MEN"! say what? 2000 Indie Flick w/ ROBERT FORSTER & DONNIE WAHLBERG as the odd couple of diamond men on the road dealing with the various HORRORS that come their way!!

This one's a hand-in-glove fit for the House- it's
offbeat, it's an indie and most have never heard
of it. Not only is this a winner straight across the
board in all components but we get the added
benefit of some excellent chemistry between 
the always enjoyable Forster and Donnie. 
Using my Palm Springs Rating System, 
this one is 4 solid palm trees!
ORIGINAL TRAILER

Revisiting a little thing called "AROUND THE WORLD WITH THREE DOG NIGHT"! If there ever was anything So Horrific it's this 1973 double live album dissed by everyone from fans to critics, THE HORROR!!

Every magazine out at the time from Stereo Review
to Rolling Stone was giving this a bad review when
it came out. It only became available digitally last
year becoming the last official TDN album to do so.
Of course as life turns out, it happens to be one of 
the very first albums I owned and used to spin
as an 11 year old on fire for rock n roll. 
It's really not a bad album, quite
horrific indeed ;-)
ELI'S COMING - yes, i will go ahead and use the word
phenomenal for this version that starts off almost as
a comedy piece. Recorded in Manchester.
JOY TO THE WORLD - very interesting version, different
than studio, a bit faster. Recorded in Japan.
MAMA TOLD ME NOT TO COME - excellent version
with Cory belting out the famous verses...from Athens
