Maybe not necessarily the best one ever, but still comical, by way of Firefox's javascript engine.

It was nice being back at Teakwoods tonight, first time for almost a month. Strange, but true. Bobby & Josh opening did make me think how much I miss the Baja Wednesday days.

Photobox ImageThe rock show was full of, well, rock. One new Black Mood's song in the set that we hadn't heard before, which was cool. At some point Josh played a very familar riff, which left you wishing they'd play that song. And hence, I was elated when he played it again a few songs later, this time with the whole band joining in on Found Out About You. If there is anyone I'd love to hear play a Hopkins song, it's Josh. And when you've got Bobby singing in the band, it's a recipe for magic. Y'know, in terms of songs for the Black Moods to cover, I wouldn't pick that as an obvious choice, but it was actually a fantastic fit. It's the best version of it I've heard live since...I couldn't even say when. Would have loved to have gotten that on tape.

Good Year For Bad Days

Watched the Banditos video clip this morning, which reminded me of how god damn fun The Refreshments were back then. It was kinda cool watching it, and having that same reaction to it that I did back in 1996. And reminded me of just how great that band was. And y'know, watching it, and living like 10 minutes from Papago, it's hard not watch it and not want to steal a Jeep, grab a poncho and fake mustache and drive around Papago! [wink]

Anyways, this prompted me to listen to both Fizzy Fuzzy and The Bottle, both of which left me with the same feeling as watching the Banditos clip. Which admittedly a common thing with both albums, I can't count how many times over the years I've gone months without listening to them, have put them on and felt like it was 1996 again and been complete amazed by the band, like hearing them for the first time.

However, listening to The Bottle, it also hit me how much of a disservice I've done to myself by not listening to it in recent times. It's absolutely one of the best albums companion albums when you're bitter, jaded and all round pissed off at the fucked up world. I knew this in 1997, and absolutely used it as such, and it absolutely stepped up to the task. I'm kicking myself for not listening to it more in recent times. Because fuck, there is no mistaking, it still applies. And that's the brilliance of it.

Adios. Au revoir. I see now what I never saw.
