The Helmet/Yow track was ace (of course) but most of it was total shite. I remember the Rollins Band had a bash at 'Four Sticks' which was OK, except for Henry's vocal part, which really wasn't OK. The Unsane version was much, much better.kittyempirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705089269270410469.post-46656329224516564282009-09-20T07:57:47.045-05:002009-09-20T07:57:47.045-05:00i thought that for sure, this love letter was goin...i thought that for sure, this love letter was going to end with, "so i spoke to mr. sims and he's agreed to contribute some content to shiny grey monotone".<br /><br />why doesn't it say that?<br /><br />let's go ahead and hook that up.Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15433633246671535202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705089269270410469.post-47504184892230320642009-09-20T07:18:11.267-05:002009-09-20T07:18:11.267-05:00Helmet.

Right.<br />Ever hear the rendition of Led Zeppelin's 'Custard Pie' they did with mista Yow on vox and harmonica? <br />Big fun. <br />It was on that Zeppelin tribute record, Encomium, which, for the most part, was awful. For the most part.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705089269270410469.post-69055457043343636902009-09-20T05:15:54.628-05:002009-09-20T05:15:54.628-05:00Man, do I love this blog.
Those patron saints of ...Man, do I love this blog.<br /><br />Those patron saints of SGM are the patron saints of my record collection. I don't have any 'cool Chicago friends', so I thought I'd throw in my, er, unaffiliated two cents on the 'Shot' debate...<br /><br />My favorite JL album is 'Down'. I think I'm in the minority there, but fuck it. I truly believe that Goat-Liar-Down is as good a run of three albums as we're ever going to hear.<br /><br />Now 'Shot',in my opinion, is a very good record, but not quite on a par with those three. 'Blue' is pretty good too - the Jesus Lizard never made a bad record. <br /><br />Overall, I don't think the songs on 'Shot' were quite as strong as on previous records. Still shits all over 99% of other bands though. The production is different but still pretty damn good. <br /><br />Enormous, god-like respect for Sims (and still in quiet awe that the great man would deign to comment), but I'd have to say that it's fairly common for musicians to have a different opinion of which is their best work than their fans. <br /><br />The major label thing... I've never understood why people begrudge bands the opportunity to make some money. You know, we worship these dudes as long as they don't get paid. It's not like they went techno.<br /><br />Conclusion: SGM awesome, Sims awesome, Jesus Lizard awesome, Albini awesome, SHOT awesome.<br /><br />I think you're off the hook, Ipecac.
