Shit I Want To See #1: Lint-Trap Tambourine

Whether it's tomorrow, or Goddamn ten years from now, I want to see some fucked-up hippie in a laundry room, in the middle of the night, playing the lint-trap from the dryer like a Goddamn tambourine.

I want to behold a Madison-Square-Garden-Ian-Anderson-From-Jethro-Tull-Gauge-Performance on this fucking lint-trap.  Rapid wrist expertise and hip-pounding fury, responding to an unheard, metal-symphony that exists only in this freak's theoretically, unobserved womb of a Laundro-Mat concert stage.

A theatrical demonstration with two parts Flamboyance and nine parts Savagery.

Whether it's the apartment complex's laundry facilities or the neighborhood "Fluff and Fold," I want to see this Witching Hour, faux-musical tirade that borders on silent, head-banging lunacy.

I know Goddamn well, this guy is out there.  Somewhere in the Ether-Sphere this guy lives...he's rocking hard and kicking ass...somewhere.  A manifestation of Pomp and Bravura that needs to be extended to an over-looked-and-for-some-reason-wandering-around-noiselessly-in-the-Stealth-of-the-Night-Psycho-like-me.

The "sweaty guy from the Turtles" style pageantry.

I will witness this life-fulfilling event.  The eyes of a Moon-less Shadow-figure will take heed of your infectious, pre-dawn, tribal Invocation, and once the lint settles, and the rising Sun gives birth to a slovenly, waking moment of Extra-Terrestrial confusion, I will launch a left-handed Devil-Horn to the Heavens, salute the American Flag and unleash a short-strapped air-bass solo, starting with a Power-Bone complimented by Deep Grinders, and finishing with a Reverse-Hover-Stance that the World, (or Gravity) has never seen.

If I ever see you again after that Transcendent exposition, I'll probably look at you with smug amusement...but I'll be Goddamn proud of ya.  Remember that, ya little torte.

I say:  What A Fuckin' Weirdo

The "My Sharona" Guitar Solo

THE "MY SHARONA" GUITAR SOLO - Am I crazy, or is the big guitar solo on "My Sharona" one of the best solos ever recorded? There was a time in my life (not long ago, actually) where I'd watch this video 20 times a day. It's the best live performance of this song I've seen, check it out! The Knack - My Sharona RANDOM THOUGHTS... Of course, the main guitar riff in this song is classic. The octave-jumping bass riff heard in the intro is also doubled by the guitar, and it was written by guitarist Berton Averre. I also think the first guitar break (you could probably call it a solo, Mr. Technically) at the 1:17 mark is really good. Today, however, I want to focus mainly on the full-blown celebration of life that is the big guitar solo... THE GUITAR SOLO (2:35 to 4:06) ... ... I'm almost appalled that this song is not mentioned in Guitar World's Top 100 Guitar Solos list. I mean, what the hell?! I'm sorry, but the "My Sha...

Top 5 ... 'American Gladiators' Games

TOP 5 - 'AMERICAN GLADIATORS' GAMES - We're talking about the classic, original American Gladiators here, which aired from 1989 to 1996.  I loved that show and always thought the athletic events they competed in were awesome and probably a lot of fun to do.  Who doesn't want to give Swing Shot a try, right?  So I've compiled my Top 5 list of American Gladiators games.  I consulted a master list on Wikipedia , and clicking on the event names below will show you a video of each one, courtesy of American Gladiators.com and YouTube .  The only criteria is, How awesome was the game?  Enjoy!  1.   Assault - Ever notice how the cross-bow had the touchiest trigger in the world?  I swear, most times that flimsy foam arrow would be in flight before the contestant even got a chance to aim it.  And when the arrow did fly, it never went straight.  My favorite weapon was the ball cannon; It seemed to be the only one with even a trace...

Arizona State Has AWESOME New Uniforms

ARIZONA STATE'S NEW FOOTBALL HELMETS ARE AWESOME - I happened to catch Arizona State's 43-22 butt-kicking of USC last night, and I was blown away by their new helmets and uniforms.  These new red (maroon? wine?) duds might be the best in the land.  Do you agree?  Take a look! For the record, I actually liked their old helmets (with the cartoon Sun Devil and pitchfork), but the new ones are amazing.  These new Nike productions instantly vault ASU into the conversation whenever the best college football helmets are discussed.  Great move by ASU!
