Prompted by a Facebook thread posted by a musician who is not a fan of Andrew Watt or what Watt has done to the Stones, Iggy, or Macca, I decided to listen to "Hackney Diamonds." I still love it. And I love Iggy's "Every Loser," which I will get to this weekend.
Lester Winchester McKendree released a debut and the press release was intriguing, far more than the actual music on the record.
And I already planned on resisting Banda AL9, feeling completely satisfied with The Lemon Twigs and completely put off by the Uni Boys. But, the Banda AL9 record is hard to resist. Yes, it's more Merseybeat/British Invasion, but it's too much fun to ignore. I didn't feel that way about Uni Boys. Banda AL 9 is a grower...I think.
I've all but given up the Motorhead fight. I guess you either get it or you don't, and actually, while I get it completely, I still get why others don't. That said, if you are ever in the mood to go in, either again or for the first time, listen to "Ace Of Spades" and "Overkill." Those two are the real deal.

Bomber is real deal too!
Of course! And so is "Iron Fist." But I am trying to sell to people who aren't buying, so I was limiting it to two. But I am fan through and through.
