...so I wake up with "No Sense" still churning through my brain and decide damnit I need more this is not enough I'm off to The Excelsior to do it again. They revamped tthis place apparently i.e. they put a couple of red curtains up...yeah nice. I love your work,
Angel Nine I think they were called did the opening thing. Their singer had an O.K. voice there was some cool riff that sprung up based on harmonics and I payed attention to that and then a tiny voice in my head screamed "Give us the Monstrous fucking Blues already"...so I drank a beer and then The Blues did play and they were as on fire as they were the night before, maybe even more so who can tell. They played a good portion of their e.p. as well as a couple of newish tunes which were really pumping and I hope are going to be on their album when it comes out.
There were these guys up the front who looked like they were trapped in 1985 and that Motley Crue were the biggest band in the world and they wanted Jay to take his shirt off. I liked The Blues too, but give us a big heavy riff anytime I don't need to see Jay with his shirt off, c'mon guys I think you got the wrong venue, there are strippers up the road apparently so jump back on your scooters (psedo-harleys and git)....Another beer, Legends of Motorsport were heaps better tonight more suited to the smallness of the Excelsior. They were more animated and heaps more into it. Seemed a little unaccastomed to Sydney audiences standing back and clapping politely after each tune but I suppose you get use to it. They played all of "Beef With Cheese" except "Rx7" of course and that drove me insane because it's probably my favourite tune on the disc...oh well. There was this other tune I remember from the night before that they played again which may be called "Dinner and a Show". That was cool. They finished playing and we purchased merchandise (I scored a cool 7" Single), we drove home and we saw a fire near Bexley which was fucking going off and we got to stop for munchies at the servo....Now I have but one more question. Is it enough, have I had enough rock this week. We have been on the go since Thursday,yet some tiny voice at the back of my mind still insists in it's greedy little unsatisfied manor. "Go on son you can do it! you must go to Bizzo's and witness this rock and roll show again and you know something I think I just might! ;D

;D.
, Nah it is not a live "No Sense" I actually think it is a totally different recording, only constant playing of "Beef With Cheese" make it possible to tell the difference. I think the vinyl is more chaotic and all over the place (bit like them live)...HA! HA! Mr.Kyuss buys a piece of vinyl yet does not own a record player....I had about 30 CD's before I had a cd player so I can understand....Man you want another cool Gong tale?
...O.K. a needle is usually no hassle. get the brand and model etc of your player and take it to your nearest hi-fi place that hopefully still stock needles...Maybe go to a shop where DJ's get their shit from (HA! Ha! the irony), It's going to set you back maybe $30-$40, I know it's a little pricy but it is fucking worth it man. Once you have heard Led Zep and Sabbath on vinyl you know why it is important to keep both formats strong...Only thing to watch is to remove the needle carefully. I've seen to many over zealous or frustrated rock pigs snap the whole arm off. This is not cool...once you get your needle fitting it in should be easy, trust me I'm as dumb as it comes when it comes to any handyman shit so it is easy...if you are worried about your precious vinyl then herad to your second hander and head to the $1 or less bin (although I did find Hawkwind in one of these once and I've been a vinyl junkie ever since)...select some suitable crap, I reccomend "Push" by Bros because if you scratch it who gives a fuck it is Bros, it sounds funny backwards, when everyone is at your house and too stoned to move putting this on will quickly make them move and anyhow for $1 once it has served it's purpose if it repulses you that much snap it and throw it at the next band you go to watch that would be cool, I would loveto be showered with the shards of a broken Bros record at one of my shows, I think I'd cry with happiness at the symbolic nature of this event...Now go forth F_Rock and build your turntable, you know that you have no other choice and if there is a problem get back to me and I'll see if I have anymore advice
