"Way of the World" - Flipper. Not noisy enough. Needs feedback. This was the greatest song my 11 year-old self had ever heard

"In the Park" - Ramones. A long time fave from the first Ramones album I ever bought. *Subterranean Jungle* came out shortly after my 13th birthday, I bought it with the $10 I got from my grandmother....

Happy Monday. "Fish" - The Damned. I miss Brian James

Niche Riff Sunday. "Your Funeral, My Trial" - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Mellow, hazy Saturday vibe. "Suzanne" - Leonard Cohen

Happy Friday Evening! "Look Back In Anger" - David Bowie. Definitely in my top three of his....

Happy Friday! "Clash City Rockers" - The Clash

"Fall of Because" - Killing Joke. A longtime favorite. And Geordie rules

"Fast Cars" - Buzzcocks

Mellow Monday. "Wicked Game" - Chris Isaak

Every so often I accidentally remind myself that all the riffs I wrote as a teenager sound better on a Gibson....

Niche Riff Sunday. "Unspeakable" - Killing Joke. Noisy. By request from a fellow Geordie fanatic

"I Can't Hardly Stand It" - The Cramps. Dialing in the Mustang...

Happy Friday Evening! And it's World Goth Day. Thus: "Love Will Tear Us Apart" - Joy Division. Sorry / not sorry....

Happy Friday! "Ex Lion Tamer" - Wire. Trying for Bruce Gilbert's wooly tone...

Some ugly chords for a rainy evening... bonus: pajamas

"Tension" - Killing Joke. Another enigmatic Geordie riff...

Happy Monday! "Diplomatic Immunity" - GBH

Niche Riff Sunday. "Lil Boys Play With Dolls" - Lords Of The New Church. Embarrassed to say I only recently realized this song is about the New York Dolls. Anyway, Brian James rules

Mellow Saturday. "I Burn For You" - The Police

Happy Friday Evening! "Seeing Red" - Killing Joke. Proof that sometimes one note is all you need

Happy Friday! "Born to Kill" - Social Distortion

"Down In Flames" - Dead Boys. Dialing in a new drive pedal...

"Machine Gun Etiquette" - The Damned. By request from someone who didn't care for my lounge version...

"Memories Can't Wait" - Talking Heads. My favorite of theirs

Happy Monday! "Rockaway Beach" - Ramones

"Mother" - Danzig. Consider it a friendly reminder

Niche Riff Sunday. "Dance With Me" - Lords Of The New Church. My Brian James kick goes on....

Happy Friday! "Hair of the Dog" - Bauhaus. Noisy.

"Follow The Leaders" - Killing Joke

"Soup Is Good Food" - Dead Kennedys. Trying for that crazed Easy Bay Ray psycho-surf tone....

Happy Monday! "I Won't Look Back" - Dead Boys. An ironic title, as every lyric is looking back. Anyway, from their glorious and almost certainly self-sabotaged second album....

Happy Friday! "Fuck Armageddon" - Bad Religion

"Machine Gun Etiquette" - The Damned. Uncalled for lounge version? Broke out my beloved ZT Lunchbox, plugged in my white Tele, and this is what happened.

"New Church" - Lords of the New Church. On another Brian James kick....

"Death Comes Ripping" - Misfits. New Jersey's finest...

Happy Monday! "Bloodfeast" - Misfits

Niche Riff Sunday. "Livin' On Livin'" - Lords Of The New Church. Brian James rules.

Happy Friday! "In My Eyes" - Minor Threat

"Knockin' On Joe" - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Another fave from their early days...

Mellow Wednesday. "Summertime Rolls" - Jane's Addiction. That D chord at the end might have kept on going...

As of 10:45 today.....

Happy Monday! "This Perfect Day" - The Saints. A long time fave

Opening to something completely different

Getting my gallup back into shape... I have a long way to go
