THE CLUBHOUSE

If I would have heard Mine or Wannabe on the radio and not known who did them, I would have still enjoyed it and would have had to find it on the computer to listen to more.
I hear 'pop' stuff all the time on the radio at work that I then check out at home.
I don't care about genre, I just like what I like and don't really put a label on it.

Here's one that I heard in the car today.

It's like the 5th time I've heard it in the last couple weeks.
Not sure why the sudden popularity again, but as a Maiden fan, I can't help but feel a little shot of adrenaline every time I hear it start.

K - we entered 2023 with song that hails (pun TOTALLY intended) from 2012 . . . Halestorm's "I Miss the Misery"

Can't say I'll REALLY miss a lot of 2020/2021/2022 (aside from the happy memories with various folks) . . . but 2023 HAS to be better for all of us (he says naively )

So my first post of the year acknowledges appreciation to the best female vocalist (and her band) EVER . . . from (arguably) the best (overall) album they have released to date . . .

While I love the song, I really don't miss the misery.
I'd rather go back, just as far and dedicate this to all of us hanging out here

Hey Ian, if you want a fun way to spend 40 minutes.

Elizabeth and Julia together fangirling over Rainbow's Stargazer.
These two are amazing together, and I can't wait to see what other collaborations they shot while Julia was visiting.

So . . . I've been following this wee fella and his collaborators for a couple of years now, and hesitated to post links to some of the amazing, thought-provoking (and provocative) songs he has made during (and before) I first encountered him, because his opinions could be considered subtly (and less than subtly) political.

I'm on record that I HATE rap music - the genre seems to (possibly due to what I have heard/seen rather than not seen) promote sexism, violence, drugs, money and an anti-police attitude (etc.) that I find objectionable, along with a general vibe that I am uncomfortable with despite my usual anti-establishment mindset.

But Tom MacDonald does NOT fall into the "cookie cutter" realms of rap, and touches my soul . . . and his intelligence, his determination, his sincerity, his HONESTY, his bravery, his talent . . . combined with his sense-of-humour . . . just won me over.

His latest "single" release (linked below) is unique for him . . . it's a pop song, and is about his relationship with his girlfriend. For anybody that has EVER been in love with someone SO much that it hurts . . . it will make you cry.

The dude is a genius with words AND music - and he does it all without a record company . . just with family & friends. He and Lemmy would have got on, and I can think of no higher compliment.

The song that started it all for me.

But live


Somewhere


(* I don't know where *) EDIT - it was Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany


From the upcoming REVISED version of their album.

This band makes fun funnier, and cool cooler.

In a world where overconfidence & arrogance makes people (1) Think they have all the answers, and (2) Think THEY are right, DESPITE all evidence to the contrary - Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister succinctly sums up a major source of hypocrisy . . .



Motörhead - God Was Never on Your Side https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET07vTF_y94

If the stars fall down on me
And the sun refused to shine
Then may the shackles be undone
May all the old words cease to rhyme
If the sky turned into stone
It will matter not at all
For there is no Heaven in the sky
Hell does not wait for our downfall

Let the voice of reason chime
Let the pious vanish for all time
God's face is hidden, all unseen
You can't ask Him what it all means

He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Let right or wrong alone decide
God was never on your side

See ten thousand ministries
See the holy, righteous dogs
They claim to heal, but all they do is steal
Abuse your faith, cheat, and rob
If God is wise, why is He still
When these false prophets call Him friend?
Why is He silent? Is He blind?
Are we abandoned in the end?

Let the sword of reason shine
Let us be free of prayer and shrine
God's face is hidden, turned away
He never has a word to say

He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Let right or wrong alone decide
God was never on your side
No, no, no

He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Never, never, never, never
Never on your side
Never on your side

God was never on your side
Never on your side
