Rant of a Kind: RANT OF A KIND : Adventures of a Wanderer and Tales from the Crypt....

DAWN BREAKS LIKE A BULL THROUGH THE HALL....Saturday 03 OCT

Today I have started this blog. This will attempt to convey some random rants and unrelated thoughts/crazy happenings that have been seen/heard/experienced whilst I walk the streets of Melbourne, Australia, >Earth.

TOPIC 1! : THE DEAD WEATHER
I love moooooosik. It makes my world go round. Without mooosik I go into a tailspin and get slighty clammy hands. The excitement on my mind in the music world right now is THE DEAD WEATHER. A collaboration between Jack White (The White Stripes) and Alison Mosshart (The Kills), together they are a combination of pure raw wretched awesome-ness. They are also joined by Jack Lawrence on bass and Queens of the Stone Age Dean Furtita on guitar. Mosshart mostly takes on singing duties while White is back behind the drums. I only recently renewed my love for The White Stripes. While I'm riding the trams of Melbourne I like to put the volume up full bore and play The Hardest Button to Button....it's hard not to tap your feet I dare you to try it.....
CHECK THEM OUT.....
The album is called Horehound. Made in Nashville on what sounds like a 15 day bender (with visits to a gun range and circus), got to love the old school rockness of it. Doesn't seem like there's many unpolished true rockers around these days.
Explosive-sludgey-bluesy-rock rythym with stark sultry to siren vocals. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Speaking of Alison Mosshart...I saw a photo of her by a French photographer that is surely worth a mention, SOPHIE JARRY. Inspires me. Enough said, some of her pictures...
