Oh Shit

New Libertines single! For the record, we did it first.

Imo loves the feeling of rolling in the sun
Rolling in the oceans she rolls until she’s numb
But it’s never too long before a swell comes crashing in
And you’re gonna go down if you don’t learn how to swim

Every moth to a candle finds a flame too hot to handle
And Jamie broke down at Imo’s every scandal
Imo went west and Jamie sang the blues
It was Niki’s raw heart that lit her fuse

And she went
Oh shit, oh shit
Let’s make some money
Just enough to get us by
I want you when you smile
You got the dollars in your eyes

Our love is
So sick, so sick
Just takes a minute to obliterate her mind
I want you when you smile
From today until you die

They love rocky crystal in a lottery ticket
Unfortunate events (she’s his Jiminy Cricket)
Carving out initially (they did it on a wall)
And and I, in the world of a heart shaped scrawl

Guides a finger across his hairline
As his head rests on the bar
He’s stone cold cut
And she hotter than a star

But Niki loves the fire
And Niki loves the fight
And Niki’s got a heart
That will love you through the night

And they go
Oh shit, oh shit
Let’s make some money
Just enough to get us by
I want you when you smile
I want the dollars in your eyes
And they go
Oh shit, oh shit
Let’s make some money
Just enough to get us by
I want you when you smile
I want the dollars in your eyes

Tank top, boots
No money
Living on the stubs
What’s it even matter
You’re just young and in love

Oh shit, oh shit
Oh shit, oh shit
Oh shit, oh shit
Just enough to get us by

And we go
Oh shit, oh shit
We need some money
Just enough to get us by
And everybody goes, whoa
We got the dollars in our eyes
We go oh shit, oh shit
We need some money
Just enough to get us by
Oh I want you when you smile
I want the dollars in your eyes
Oh shit, oh shit

Found!

Wonder if this will be covered in the new biopics?

How Paul McCartney’s bass was found: the history of his Hofner Bass 500/1. For years we thought his first Hofner bass was stolen in 1969 but only recently we learned the truth and in this video we’ll cover how Paul got the bass, what it was stolen, and how it was found.

Shit

Ewen Macintosh, who played Big Keith on The Office, has hopped the twig, aged 50.

You Look Like You Could Use A Laugh

So here’s one of my favorite Laurel & Hardy shorts. It’s almost 100 years old and still hilarious!

Perfect Day is historically significant for being the first movie in which someone says “Oh, shit.” (It’s ad-libbed by Uncle Edgar as the dog is helped out of the car at around the 13 minute mark.) The censors completely missed it.

Fuck It … Thursday?

From the last QOTSA album I enjoyed. Lyrics courtesy of Lyric Genius.

Dead bull with the life from the low
I’ll be massive conquistador
Give me soul and show me the door
Metal heavy, soft at the core
Gimme Toro, gimme some more
Gimme Toro, gimme some more
Pressurize, neutralize
Deep-fried, gimme some more

Oh
Space truckin’, four on the floor
Fortified with the liquor store
This one’s down, gimme some more
Gimme Toro, gimme some more
Gimme Toro, gimme some more
Gimme Toro, gimme some more

Shrunken head I love to adore
B-movie, gimme some gore
Gimme Toro, gimme some more
B-movie, gimme some gore

Uh
Yow
Gimme Toro, gimme some more
Gimme Toro, gimme some more
Gimme Toro, gimme some more
Gimme Toro, gimme some more
Yeah

Why?

Why is a song I haven’t heard in 40 years stuck in my head today?

Shine A Light On Me

Did you bastards know there’s an official Midnight Special channel on YouTube releasing entire unedited episodes (as well as clips)? Holy shit, it’s a treasure trove!

Timestamped performances for this episode are here. I mostly just watched Sly and the Family Stone, obviously.

BONUS: Here’s another recently released episode with Mott the Hoople and The New York Dolls. Not sure who the guy is in the back playing the Thunderbird for the Dolls. Arthur Kane appears to be in a cast and is obviously miming …
