[Zebra_Trucks] Dateline, Paris: Just walk away, Renee...

... and your little friend too.

I may have missed my chance to meet the French Quiet Grrrl I talked about in my last post. 

I was Walking through a park, when I heard guitar, and some sweet vocals.  I walked around the hedge, and I saw two girls sitting on a bench with a black steel string acoustic guitar between them.  They sounded really good.

I was trying to decide how I could look real casual-like and sit down next to them to listen, when two other guys got the same idea and plopped down in the empty spot.

After that they became inhibited, and the concert was over. As they walked away, I felt a wave of melancholy. I was thinking about how different it would be if my label was up and running.  I could be real forthright, and there wouldn't be suspicion of my motivations, only elation at my interest....

I'd say, "Hey babe, hey sugar, how would yooze like to be big rawk starz?"

[Zebra_Trucks] The Frost Heaves heave again

The Frost Heaves have posted a controversial new song "Assassino" on their Soundclick site.


It has ignited a firestorm of protest, and longtime fans are livid.  The heavies (as the fans are popularly known) decry it as the biggest hard rock sell-out since Kiss went disco with "I was made for loving you."

However, lead guitarist Ludwig Van Frankenstein was quick to respond to these criticisms: "Yeah, maybe it's a little slicker than our past efforts, but it's as drastic, spastic, and stochastic as anything we've ever done."

The absence of even a single yelp from Marge Simpson-soundalike vocalist Trevor Baskerville added credibility to rumors that all is not well with the popular group.

However, sources close to the band denied rumors that Baskerville has left the band, as well as rumors that fellow geriatric metal gods Iron Maiden dropped them from the upcoming Preparation H-sponsored tour, "The Aging Assholes of Metal."

Check out it out and see what you think.

[Zebra_Trucks] Dateline: Paris

I am looking for a girl.

She will be in her mid-twenties, she will be playing her guitar ina  cafĂ©, wearing a black beret, and singing charming songs about snails, and magical kingdoms hidden in the basement of the Louvre.

When she was 17, she had a small part in the movie, "Plan 18 From Outer Space."  Or was it, when she was 18, she had a small part in "Plan 17 From Outer Space"?

Whatever.

I will buy one of her CDs, and strike up an email correspondence with her, rave about her to my friends until they get quite tired of it, and start to wonder if there is something wrong with me.

She may think I'm nice, or she may think I'm a creepy stalker, and ask me to leave her alone.  One thing is for certain – she will resist any effort I make to influence her music.  When I suggest she cover "My Old Shotgun" (www.soundclick.com/mattlove) or "The Beezebub of Scrub A Dub Dub" (www.soundclick.com/thefrostheaves) she will simply not respond to my emails.

I have spent hours over the last two days, walking all over Paris, and all I've seen so far is a guy playing guitar, an amped up accordion player, and three hippies playing drums.  But it is destiny that I will find her.

Oh, yes. I will find her!

[Zebra_Trucks] Fwd: [Spin The Globe news] Global Beatles cover songs

God, wouldn't you know it.  the first show he's done in ages that I wanted to stream.... and most of the first hour (with the beatles covers) is not there.  Who knows what gems I missed?  but still for the best version of Let It Be ever recorded, check out the  Shang Shang Typhoon version (link in the "listen again" section below) - you have to wait out an aimless and pointless version of Norwegian wood, but it's worth the wait. 

In fact, it's a life changing experience.
