Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin doing “Bring it on Home” at the R&R Hall of Fame, 2006. Skip ahead to 1:07 to see it all live. At 2:00, Tyler takes the mike. Then, at 2:19, Plant and Tyler do this crazy, tandem spinning thing. It’s completely awesome.
…even though it’s not truly Led Zeppelin, I would have killed to be a fly on that wall. Blabbermouth.net is reporting that Brad Whitford, who plays rhythm guitar for Aerosmith, confirmed that Tyler indeed jammed with a PlantlessZeppelin via England’s Daily Mail. I don’t know why, but the first song that I imagined them doing was Come Together. Whitford went on to say that the jam was “all in fun” and, with three mere words, single-handedly sucked all the air out of the room.
Listen John, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that Sarah Palin won’t be the next VP. The bad news is you will now address me as Mr. President and not “that one”.
John McCain, McCain’s “happy face”, and Barack Obama.
Witchiepoo temporally replaces Wendy O for the Halloween 2008 edition of GTFO…
Happy Halloween all you groovy ghouls! If by some chance you waited until the last minute to make your Halloween Weekend plans, this entry should help you fill that creepy calendar of yours. Also, if this entry is a bit rambling, well, that’s strictly the Vicodin talking, not me. And as I said earlier this week, GTFO is going to be short and sweet as my day today is going to be long and busy.
Lastly, if you haven’t sent in your absentee ballot yet, please, fill that thing out, get yourself a first-class stamp and put it in the mail.
Because before you Get The Fuck out this weekend, you must Get The Fucking VOTE Out. Then you can party guilt free.
BARACK ‘n ROLL at JULES MAES SALOON(A Get Out The Vote Event) 3-Way Switch(Manifesto release), Mabel Dodge and Radioshark
A very good looking friend of Cherrybomb told me about this event, and I’m glad because it’s not only full of great rock ‘n’ roll but it’s also for a great cause. From 9-10pm, you can make your own personalized campaign button. Then, at 9:45pm, a representative from the Obama campaign office will say a few before the awesome 3-Way Switch take the stage.
XM will re-launch it’s all Led Zeppelin channel, XM Led on November 1st. XM Led premiered last year on November 8th, 2007. Although it was scheduled to run through the end of May, 2007, XM pulled the plug on XM Zep on March 7th.Since it’s now clear to everyone Zep’s popularity will never fade, XM decided to bring back what they call “the comprehensive Led Zeppelin experience” to the airwaves. XM Led not only plays the music of Zeppelin but also features past and present interviews with the band and other rare Zeppelinesque content.
John, have you been stealing my signs from Peter Frampton’s house again? Snicker-sincker. For the RDK.
So I’m laid up on my couch all hopped up on PK’s after screwing up my back yesterday. Thus the lack of posts yesterday and today. However, when I saw this story about Peter Frampton’sObama signs getting stolen(again), I had to post it. Frampton says that the only reason he became a U.S. citizen is so he could vote. Unfortunately for Frampton, he lives in a predominately Republican neighborhood in Cincinnati called Indian Hill. I guess that Frampton should be happy that’s all he’s missing. Check out this excerpt from a proposal, writen by one of Frampton’s neighbors, on how to control the marauding deer population in Indian Hill:
For the first week in December I would close the schools, pack up all the residents and send them to Naples, Florida. Half of us will already be there. I would then hire a battalion of country boys from Adams County, outfit them with AK-47s, and turn them loose with the intention of annihilating the deer population. Not to worry. Bambi will be back. Deer will migrate from Milford and Montgomery so that in ten years we shall have to repeat the process. But in the meantime the saplings would have an opportunity to reforest our wooded areas and replace the casualties from storms and the ash borer. There is no prospect that Bambi will become an endangered species.
Yikes! Country Boys armed with AK’s? I thought Indian Hill was in Ohio, not Texas. Anyway, my advice to Pete is don’t answer your door on Halloween.
Whoa. Happy Hump Day! Also, don’t forget that HalloQueen is playing The Tractor Tavern on Friday. In other rock ‘n’ roll news, F*#K You We’re Leonard Skinnerd just got added to the bill. This makes me happy.
Since Halloween is this FRIDAY, I’ve naturally been thinking about chocolate. But since I’m also on election overload, the two thoughts collided. What I ended up with was asking myself what kind of candy gets handed out by our ultra-conservative, God is my Copilot, neighbors. Luckily, I didn’t have think about this for too long…
Chocolate Jesus.
Who knew Chocolate Jesus wasn’t just a Tom Waits song. Life is crazy like that sometimes.
Chocolate Crucifix Candy.
Of course, instead of those cool chocolate gold coins, our bible thumping friends to the right would be handing out these chocolate crucifix candies. Honestly, as much as I love chocolate, I’m pretty sure my mouth would burst into flames if I ate one of these things. And that’s both sad and unfair.
John McCain Suckers.
I love how these suckers make John McCain look like a baby. How ironic is that? Well, the Obama suckers kind of make Barack Obama look like Curious George. Anyway, I’m sure the McCain suckers will be in every Conservative’s Halloween candy bowl this year. As well as the Obama ones.
Jesus Lollypop.
Now you can enjoy the delicious taste of Jesus right from the comfort of your own home. If licking Jesus’ face doesn’t send me on a one way trip to hell, I don’t know what will. Which is perfect since it’s Halloween and all.
Chocolate Gun.
Bang Bang! Your dead! Happy Halloween!
The Last Supper Chocolate bar.
You won’t find this Last Supper Chocolate Bar at most of the houses you will visit on Halloween. In fact, I’m pretty sure that the only person handing this incredible piece of chocolate Christy goodness is Sarah Palin. And don’t be surprised when she doesn’t answer the door either, she’s pretty busy these days talking to people about killing animals, saving babies and “the gay” and, uh, well that’s it really. But back to Halloween. When you’re out Trick or Treating on Friday, remember what your Mom always says. Don’t go to any houses where there is a McCain/Palin sign.
So before I head back under my bed, here are two of the most tasteless Halloween decorations I’ve seen this year. Above, you have The Obama Ghost. This lovely lawn ornament was created by self-described racist Mike Lunsford. When interviewed by the local Fairfield TV News, Lunsford said that he believes that only white people should be allowed to be President. He also said that his Halloween spirit was inspired by this Halloween display in Odessa, New York. But before you go getting your liberal panties in a bunch, one of our own has gotten a little too carried away.
Palin is hangin’ from a noose. McCain is on fire. Only in West Hollywood.
If you read this blog, you know I’m not a fan of Sarah Palin. If anything, you could say I’m a bit of an Palintologist. With that said, I’m sure I could have come up with 100 better ways to ridicule Sarah Palin in the name of Halloween. And the concept of a hangin’ Palin never would have made the cut. Shame on you West Hollywood, I thought you were more creative than that…
Angry, ignorant and intolerant is no way to go through life…
This is so sad. And unlike some of the other things that have been hurled from various McCain/Palin rallies, this time there is no mistaking what was said.
Focus on the Family has got their granny panties all in a bunch over Barack Obama.
Colorado’s Focus on the Family is feeling uneasy at the thought of an Obama Presidency. A quick search of FOTF’s website turns up no less than 423 articles on Barack Obama, most attempting to misrepresent Obama’s views on Abortion and “the gays”. According to this 16 page diatribe, (written by someone from the year 2012) under an Obama Presidency, our country is found basking in the hellish afterglow of terrorist attacks, baby killing and sex education for first graders. Oh yeah, Obama killed a bunch of Boy Scouts too:
The Boy Scouts no longer exist as an organization. They chose to disband rather than be forced to obey the Supreme Court decision that they would have to hire homosexual scoutmasters and allow them to sleep in tents with young boys.
Elementary schools now include compulsory training in varieties of gender identity in Grade 1, including the goodness of homosexuality as one possible personal choice.
The Bible can no longer be freely preached over radio or television stations when the subject matter includes such “offensive” doctrines as criticizing homosexual behavior. The Supreme Court agreed that these could be kept off the air as prohibited “hate speech” that is likely to incite violence and discrimination.
Congress lost no time in solidifying abortion rights under President Obama. In fact, Obama had promised, “The first thing I’ll do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act”. The Freedom of Choice Act also reversed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, so infants can be killed outright just seconds before they would be born.
The Supreme Court in 2011 nullified all Federal Communications Commission restrictions on obscene speech or visual content in radio and television broadcasts. As a result, television programs at all hours of the day contain explicit portrayals of sexual acts. As a result, pornographic magazines are openly displayed in gas stations, grocery stores and on newsstands.
Since 2009, terrorist bombs have exploded in two large and two small U.S. cities, killing hundreds, and the entire country is fearful, for no place seems safe. President Obama in each case has vowed “to pursue and arrest and prosecute those responsible,” but no arrests have been made.
Then in the next three years, Russia occupied additional countries that had been previous Soviet satellite nations, including Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria, with no military response from the U.S. or the U.N.
Dang, that is one impressive piece of paranoia. Although, I have to wonder how Russia ended up occupying Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic if Sarah Palin can see Russia from her house.
Thunderheist, Jerk It. No animals were harmed during the filming of this video but they did get their groove on…
Whoa. By way of Toronto/Montreal welcome to Thunderheist. Like it or not (and I verra much love it) Jerk It is going to be stuck in your head for a while. The video was created by Noel Paul and Stefan Moore of That Go.net The pair are also also responsible for the trippy video, Sophisticated Side Ponytail by Seattle techno fave, Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head. Both Paul and Moore are graduate students at the DXArts, the Center for Digital Arts at the University of Washington in Seattle.
If you missed them last year at CMJ, you can catch Thunderheist live in Cali on November 8th at Pepperjacks and at Half Alive at Pub 340 in Vancouver, BC on November 21st.
Sarah Palin and her spendy spray-on tan. Lookin’ good?
As many of you know, the RNC recently released it’s itemized expendetures list. The list has since come under fire for the obscene amout of money that was spent on a new wardrobe for Sarah Palin(as well as items for members of her family) and her Hollywood makeup artist. Some of the other items that stick out on the list are payments to Tracy Thorp. Thorp’s specialty? Spray on tans. The McCain campaign paid Thorp$1,170(including travel expenses) to make Sarah Palin look like she’s been in Mexico for a week. I guess we should be happy that Palin decided against traveling with her own tanning bed.
Infomercials have becomebreeding grounds for all kinds of random weirdness. As per standard infomercial protocol, the many benefits of the hearing-aid product, Loud and Clear(above), are discussed. Things get weird about 38 seconds in when the benefits of Loud and Clears hearing aid include eavesdropping on your neighbors. At about 54 the benefits are extended when it’s revealed that Loud and Clear can help you tune in to private conversations at a party. Yikes! Who is behind this product, Karl Rove?
I love the flippy “I kid you not” comment at the end of this vid. I mean, what else would you expect from Sarah Palin’s first policy speech? Anyway, for someone who has been promoted as a “tireless supporter of Autism research”, Sarah Palin is remarkably ignorant of the many contributions fruit fly research has made to one of her pet causes. To say nothing of this study involving fruit flies thatmay help pinpoint genetic risk factors for Autism.
Ever wonder what happened to the Wassup guys? Well, they changed. That’s what’s up.
Now, all you have to do is Vote for Change. Vote right now if you live here. If you don’t , please make sure you vote on November 4th. Believe me, I am being much more polite about this than I should be.
As if you didn’t know this yesterday (yeah, I’m talking to you Matt Drudge and your nine headlines about this fakery yesterday) Ashley Todd, a McCain campaign volunteer, admitted that she made up the story of her ATM assault. Todd initially reported the incident to police saying that her “attacker”, a 6′4 black man, became enraged when after robbing Todd at knife-point, saw a McCain bumper-sticker on her car. Todd said the man then beat her, told her she was going to vote for Obama, and carved a backwards “B” into her cheek. According to FOX “News”, both McCain and Palin called Todd to offer their condolences while the Obama camp was quick to denounce the attack.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that Ashley Todd might be the most stupid person on the face of the earth. Next to Sarah Palin of course.
Wendy O does not care about wearing white after Labor Day…
Okay, I’m running behind as usual so I’ll be brief. So where was I. Hmm…oh yeah.
Get The Fuck Out!
Friday, October 24th:
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists.
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists Showbox Market
The only thing that might make Ted Leo cooler is if he were actually a Pharmacist.
Trannyshack!
Trannyshack Seattle Chop Suey
Jackie Hell, Ursula Android, Peaches Christ and more Tranny’s than you can shake your stick at. Insert your joke here…oh wait, I just did it for you.
The McInros.
The McInros
Red Line (West Seattle) The McInros say they admire the bands namesake, John McEnroe’s attitude on the court. Which of course translates to sometimes angry, sometimes sad but really good rock ‘n’ roll.
The Lewd(San Fran)
Tom Price Desert Classic (ex-Gas Huffer) The Funhouse
This is a show you do not want to miss. I know you trust me, but seriously, trust me on this one. Do not miss this show.
Sunday, October 26th:
Conor Oberst, Jenny Lewis Showbox at the Market
You don’t really need me to tell you this is one of the best bills to roll through Seattle this year. I absolutely love Jenny Lewis’ new record Acid Tongue almost as much as I love the title track of her new record. Oberst, who also performs as Bright Eyes, released a new record with a new band called the Mystic Valley Band(which includes Nate Walcott from Bright Eyes) in August. The surprisingly upbeat track “I Don’t Want To Die (In a Hospital)” has lived on my iPod ever since.
Halloween Recommendations:
At this years Freak Night, you can catch Moby doing a DJ set and The Crystal Method live. If you loved the Moby’s most recent record, Last Night, and followed the press he did in support of the record, you know that Moby really immersed himself in the hip-hop/DJ club scene. You can hear the vocal styling of Grandmaster Caz, of The Cold Crush Brothers, a band that helped touch off all things, Hip-Hop on Last Night.
Neon Nights will be at The Comet Tavern and Dudley Manlove will be at The Sunset on Halloween. WowweeWowweeWowWow. Decisions, decisions…
Zombie Prom at the King Kat Theater!
Zombie Prom with The Staxx Brothers will be, without a doubt, one of the craziest events in Seattle on Halloween. Get your tickets now and then get to the historic The King Kat Theater for a night of burlesque, booze and awesome, soul-stealing music.
Dawn Davenport will kick your ass!
The Central Cinema will be showing John Waters 1974 movie, Female Trouble. Also, if you are so goulishly inspired, make your own 10 minute Horror film and submit it to the folks at Central Cinema and it might get shown on the big screen.
Now that should be more than enough to give you a reason to Get The Fuck Out this weekend as well as be sure your Halloween is groovy. I’ll have some more in the coming days leading up to Halloween next Friday. Be advised, there won’t be a full-on GTFO next Friday as, well, yours truly is gonna be pretty fucking busy.
I love it when Micky and Mike get REAL. In this vid, The Monkees talk plainly about their drug use. Of course, drug use according to The Monkees concerns coffee and other evil things like vitamins and chlorine with a Drano back (endorsed in this vid by a very young Micky Dolenz). Last year, The Monkees celebratedone of the greatest things to ever happen to everyone, everywhere. The 1968 release of the Monkees only movie, Head. I’ll leave you to discuss two of the greatest things ever. The Monkees and, head.
Sigh. Just saying those words at the same time made me feel good. Oh yeah, one more word.
I mean, check out the lacquer on Gene’s tongue. If this mask does not get you laid on Halloween, there is something terribly wrong. With you that is. Maybe just leave the mask on. Anyway, these works of art retail for $19.99 and other accessories like Ace’s sweet space-man bootsor Gene’s Demon boots(which, are sadly sold out but only come in men’s sizes. WTF?). Other KISS accessories are in the works according to Blabbermouth.net.
