Grilling It: money

It won't be easy to talk about for another few days, but Wilco's live show lived up to anticipations of sublimity. It was a rocking and emotional affair. Deep rooted rocking was released from performers and fans, I'd tag it religious, but...

WILCO - JESUS ETC

"Our love is all of God's money"
-Wilco

I'd like god's paper, but that's what this was loosely about:

HORACE ANDY - MONEY, MONEY

Rappers use bullet wounds like soldiers use medals.

Fiddy, try being BLIND!

Blind Willie Johnson, from the consistently educational, comprehensive and surprising Diddy Wah.

See where this is going...

SPAT - CUT CHEMIST

The competitive grind and style names of Rock, Paper, Scissors

Personally, I think a scissor-scissor-scissor approach should be called "The Grand Opening" not "The Toolbox."

However, I did make a run to the store tonight after employing "The Bureaucrat" twice in a row.

CHOW

BBQ

PS: For the Wilcoheads new and old

In addition to being a Dj, twentytwenty is a brother. His sister Kim is a gas, a straight shootin goofy good dame-a-lam-a-dingdong. She plays voice and guitar in a Tinsletown two-piece called Eagle and Talon, that receive my pattented "Bandswatch" as a band to watch.

EAGLE AND TALON - THEY'RE SO SHARP (snippet)

In a few years when they're both stars you can read my erudite but phlegmatic analysis of the musical personas of these siblings in something like Nylon or the wall of the third stall on the left of Norrie Mcentyre's Fish Farm and Mortuary, Falcon Beach, Manitoba, Canada. After all, who isn't a sucker for a brother sister combo with chops to go.

BBQ'S RIGHT ARM RECORDS: INSTALLMENT 1

Before being a monk, an islamist, supposed Rushdie hater and banned in the USA, Cat Stevens and made this:

"Tea For The Tillerman" by Cat Stevens (buy)

On blast like Slayer in Guantanamo. This album should receive a commendation from the Worldwide Psychiatrists Guild for all the bad trips it must've righted before the mind fled.

BUT I MIGHT DIE TONIGHT - CAT STEVENS

The Tea Bowls sequence in Shorty's Fulfill The Dream, set to "Why Do The Children Play", is one of the best bits of skateboard filmaking ever.

WHY DO THE CHILDREN PLAY? - CAT STEVENS

SKATE DIGRESSION

This video illuminated much about hip hop that I didn't fully understand, and came along at a crucial time in my development, where Punk Rock and Metal could've had me forever.

Here's the opening sequence, which caused Sudermann to walk around all summer belting out "We came her tonight to get started, to cold act ill or get retarded!"
