Cheap Trick, I Can’t Take It. Live from 1984. For LP.
I love it when Robin Zander makes all the pretty high notes in this live version. It’s almost as good as the version that runs through my head when I’m running. Or drunk. Either way 24 years later, it still sounds great.
The band released their most recent record, The Latest, last month sans label support. Cheap Trick plays the Riverbend Music Center in Cincinati on July 15th. More Cheap Trick tour dates here.
Now, in yet another strange twist in the Life of Love, Erlandson told Spin Magazine that he and Love signed a contract in 2002 that bars the singers use of the name Hole without Erlandson’s consent or participation. Which is reason #27 as to why you should never use drugs and then sign your name on stuff. Which you think Courtney might have learned by now. Says Erlandson:
We have a contract. She signed a contract with me when we decided to break up the band, which was like 2002 or something, so I really don’t have comment on it except that I know my part in that band. The way I look at it, there is no Hole without me. To put it blunt. Just on a business level.
Both Erlandson and Auf der Maur say they were unaware of Love’sHole reunion. Although Erlandson went on to say that he “loved Courtney a lot” and that if Love does indeed have some sort of solo record in the works that she should “ finish it and put it out”. Which sounds just about right since we’re talking about Courtney Love.
ILVTOFU license plate denied by Colorado DMV. For Wonder Woman.
If you’re running a little slow this morning, it might take you a couple of seconds to figure out why the Colorado DMV thought this license plate could be misinterpreted as obscene. The Colorado resident that requested the license plate pictured above says isn’t a shout out sexy fun time, but an homage to her love of soybean curd, or tofu. Which is sad as I’m a huge fan of implied obscenity.
