It is a pretty horrendous video, but I've seen worse!

"And I feel like a beetle on its back
And there's no way for me to get up
Love'll get you like a case of anthrax
And that's something I don't want to catch"

Does Punk get any better?

Allmusic.com:

"... -- a true highlight amongst highlights is the closing "Anthrax," full of barely controlled feedback squalls and moans. It's nearly psychedelic, something post-punk and new wave were never known for. With a slight death rattle and plodding bass rumble, Jon King equates love with disease and admits to feeling "like a beetle on its back." In the background, Andy Gill speaks in monotone of why Gang of Four doesn't do love songs. Subversive records of any ilk don't get any stronger, influential, or exciting than this. "

"Damaged goods, send 'em back
I can't work, I can't achieve, send me back
Open the till, give me the change you said would do me good
Refund the cost, you said you're cheap but you're so smart

Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust"

Well, I tried to give you guys a break. This is just too good not to share. His solo in the first song alone is some of the best guitar work I have ever seen/heard in my life. I'm only 3 songs in. If you have ever picked up a guitar, there is no way this won't impress you. I think I have a man crush...

Keep that up & I'll have to post some more Bill Monroe & Uncle Pen!

I'm not that much in to bluegrass but I can always post up more Hugh Masekela or Al Hirt.

Or how about some Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.

Posted this before but it's worth posting again. Tried to play this when I played trumpet in my youth but I just couldn't keep up.

What a master....Al Hirt did some amazing "double- tonguing" on this cut.......A type trumpet technique that took some serious chops to perform.....your a pro, Al.

Bob Woodruff. I think he lives near Esteban now (Torrance).
I'm throwing in a ringer. (Why is Bob a Ringer?)

This tune has Emmy Lou Harris singing backup vocals.
