  Froggy by Mike Zorman
  Uncomposed by Mike Zorman

Ooops!

Kind of forgot about this accidentally.  I feel awful!  I've got this mania and a really short attention span so I tend to focus my energy on one or two things at a time and eschew everything else.  Anyway, I'm just going free form on this blog now.  I'm going to post more 45's that are rippers, but also music I make and other things I am interested in.  I am hoping this way I will remember to actually keep this dude going.

Julian Leal "Mad About You/A Fantasy"

Whoa! I'm back! I needed to take a long break from this blog. I was feeling overwhelmed from the rush of fame and fortune I was experiencing. Everything was moving way too fast, I didn't feel like myself anymore. After several long hot baths I feel prepared to re-enter the blog-o-sphere with a red hot single that totally embodies the spirit of this blog. Julian Leal provides us with 2 perfect examples of teenage lust. Lust for love, lust for sex, lust for life. Julian channels all the energy of every experience feeling so new and exciting into 2 sides of bubblegum pop punk. Killer solos, the dude has insane long curly hair, and this appears to be a privately pressed record. It all adds up baby!

PS: I intend to start doing this regularly again. I also bought a new turntable so the annoying buzz should cease to exist from now on.

If I could only hear you call my name.

More Live Magic

Doing happy hour at Tube again tonight. Every other Wednesday from now on. Same deal, $2 well drinks, $2 tall boys, cheap vegan food, interesting attractive people, cool drunk chicks, power pop, glam rock, new wave, hard rock, any song I think is good from 1975 to 1985... Come hang out!

Every Night is the Best Night of my Life

Come to Tube tonight for happy hour. I will be providing the soundtrack to your quest to hang out and get wasted. You will feel like you are going 100 miles an hour, no joke. $2 wells and tall boys. Plus it's my birthday!

11/18 @ Tube for happy hour

Prepare yourselves! This blog is entering the realm of reality this Wednesday. Well, I guess I've played records at parties and shows a million times, but I am trying to move into the bar scene. You get to get drunk for free and listen to exactly what you want to. Amazing! Tell all your friends, put this shit all over Facebook, come have an excellent time. Don't let me down.

The Godfathers "Birth, School, Work, Death"

Let's keep this hard rock bulldozer ripping. The Godfathers are giving us 100% huge balls on this white hot jam. Call and response riffing and leading is the name of this game, and if you can't take the heat then get the hell out of this kitchen. It's so easy to picture these dudes on stage, jaws clenched, beating those guitars as if they had somehow done something to deserve it. Solo after solo, chorus after chorus. And we haven't even gotten to the lyrics yet. Stark dismal reality presented with no regard to the blind and pacified. Drugs can't even please The Godfather's anymore, their souls have turned to dust and their eyeballs have hardened to stone.

I cut myself but I don't bleed
