Here's a start -- any you old fucks remember these guys?

No one did buttrock like the SoCals.

[Dinsdale]

U&L buttrock?

Certainly.

Bad?

Without question.

But some familiar faces -- the guitarist is Tommy Thayer (also from Dins' storied high school's music program) has been the guitarist for KIUSS for about the last 20 years or so. The singer went on to Warrant at one point.

Just for PSUFan and the Yinzers -- their proudest son:

Great hooks and harmonies for such a schlocky piece, though.

[Dinsdale]

Don't lie -- you know the song, but couldn't come up with the band name without help in a hundred years

Dude -- I can barely hear the name Mad Season without shedding a tear. That was Layne's "therapy album" after getting out of his closest-to-successful rehab stint. And it came out at the same time I was coming off a several-year spiral into a bottomless pit of drugs myself -- I guess it was all too crystal clear to me what he was talking about at the time. It was theraputic for me, as it was for him.

River Of Deceit is the most beautiful "Seattle Sound" tune ever made.


RIP, Layne -- I loved you like a brother, though we never met.

[Dinsdale]

Friends of mine from high school play a once-a-year band reunion/informal high school reunion at a brewery in Grand Rapids and this year they are playing the Mad Season album in its entirety. Pretty sweet.

If they're going to do a full album, that ain't a bad choice.


Speaking of obscure -- still one of my all-time favorites, which if you've heard it, it was posted by me:

Rack the hell out of the Zebra video. I have that sucker on vinyl. That album was a big part of my personal 1985 soundtrack.

One of the original "prog" bands...

[King Crimson]

my brother in law and I were talking about Zebra just the day before yesterday at holiday family time. who's behind the door is pretty cool. though, Zebra's other hit Tell me what you want is essentially the same tune.

[War Wagon]

This probably doesn't fit in quite right with "Random Obscure Forgotten Shit" or at least I hope it doesn't because I certainly never forgot about it. Pretty old, though, and it kicks.

Friday afternoon Left Coast bump

Haven't heard it lately, but I believe the nonprofit local community station still plays that sucker exactly at the stroke of 5PM every Friday, and have been for like almost 30 years.

Dorky, but borderline-brilliant -- maudlin and repetitive to start, representing the workweek, then gets lively, representing quitting time friday... nice symbolism... not bad for stupid fucking Upper Mexicans.

[Dinsdale]

OK, not random, obscure, or forgotten... but it's Friday, and you people need this. If you ain't shakin' that ass and pumping your fists, get to an emergency room immediately, because it probably means you're dead...

3) Get up and dance, motherfucker

Jeebus -- here's one I came across.
