As an added bonus, here is a five minute clip of the “holocaust” section. This is a noise piece the band plays for upwards of 40 minutes during live versions of Realise (ugh, I can’t get used to the gimpy UK spelling of that word). Sadly I’ve never witnessed this myself, but I’m sure it’s […]
Yup, another Smashing Pumpkins epic. I originally wanted to post Porcelina of Vast Oceans, but the person who made a video for it disabled embedding (grumble) and even worse, other videos had edited versions of the song. What the duck?

Yes, two Nirvana songs in a row! I wasn’t about to delay this song any further. This has been in the queue for 45 days! This is what Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion” would have sounded like if written and played by Black Sabbath. For all the anti-70s rock talk, Cobain knew where his influences lie.
Maybe this one is a stretch, but I was running out of songs. I didn’t want to post all Marty Robbins or Johnny Cash (though one day I might do a month of either of them), and rap music is too easy with the gun references. And alt rock usually has anti-gun songs, which is […]

Funny, Laredo is now a pretty big town. Over 300,000 if memory serves. I guess they grew beyond their old west days.
