Breakin' a Sweat

Sometimes, you just got to go with the flow.







UPDATE: J—'s link added. Home Run™ achieved!



RE-UPDATED: Here is a google search for "Zardoz zombie rotten mcdonald". Here you may find context and perhaps, enlightenment. Or perhaps not.

You probably don't know, Mr. "Too Good For The Telly," (But not too good for a Triple-Play!!) but the Wolf's version is the musical bed for a boner pill advert that pollutes the peoples' airwaves, which forces me to hit the mute button each time it happens.

My palate is cleansed, at least for the moment.

I did not know this.

Now my Home Run™ is ruined!

Thirty years ago the screenwriter John Eskow wrote a pretty obscure novel called "Smokestack Lightning" about a local club band that's been around playing the bar scene for quite a number of years who suddenly find themselves dealing with "overnight success".

It's a REALLY good story. If you can find a copy, check it out...

You guys know this Watermelon Slim guy? I just found him looking for other covers of this song.

ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© said...

I'd never heard of him, J—, but that's a sweet link. (Post updated.)

Watermelon Slim who's name is really Bill Homans, is a great modern-day bluesman. Glad you discovered him. ;-)

As a blues aficionado since childhood, I adore you and this group of songs Thunder. Thank you! Usually you guys post songs that I know nothing about..this group I know a lot about. I no longer feel out of the loop.

thundra is an inclusivist.

who also is apparently just itchin for a Zardozing.

Unknown said...

Ok, I am new here. Wtf is a Zardozing?

Context is good, enlightenment is evil!

Ok, I am new here. Wtf is a Zardozing?

It involves Sean Connery in hooker boots and it looks like this.

Unknown said...

339? Don't you people fucking work?

Sean don't look too bad in hooker boots. Of course he was a lot younger. If that photo was current his ball sac would be around his knees.

I could of lived the rest of my friggin life without reading about that sloth however.

ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© said...

Here's another egg-sample.

339? Don't you people fucking work?

What's love got to do with it? (Err, work, whatevs...)

Big Bad Bald Bastard said...

339? Don't you people fucking work?

To be fair, I was away for a week, and foolishly made that fact known.

Last time I stepped out for a few days, I took anti-Zardozing precautions.

Dr.KennethNoisewater said...

Don't you people fucking work?

Not if I can help it.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Don't you people fucking work?

Have you SEEN the state of the construction industry these days Dusty?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

That makes it official. Get Von over here.

Bastard is a Zardy-Pooper.

Unknown said...

Not ignoring this thread, I find you all so damn interesting and amusing. I am researching my newest bitchfest.

I have learned a valuable lesson. Since I am on many of the perpetrators blogrolls,Never, NEVER say I am leaving the intertoobs for ANY length of time. ;-D

J— said...

Work? Loop? What are these things of which you speak?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

even better, Dusty, NEVER LEAVE THE INTERTRONS.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

A what? A LIFE?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

I confess I left the intertubas for a bit while I went home and got some lunch.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

But since these days, the little architectin I do is onna compooter, I am pretty much always on the innertubez.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Breaking a sweat, indeed. S'gonna be over 90 every day this week.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

I find you all so damn interesting and amusing.

Well, you're new here. We all get tiresome pretty damn fast.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Touchdown!

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Invasion!

ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© said...

Ah, and here I was, working on (yet) another draft of a new post.

(I gave up on finishing a serious one...for now. But I got another decent fledgling cardinal pic, among other things.)

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

new post! New post!

Unknown said...

You guys/gals will nevah get boring and/or tiresome. Unless you do this to my blog.Then, there are ways to deal w/you. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA..that is not an offer to do this to my blog. Gawd-friggin-no.

ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© said...

What, you don't want 400 comments on a post?

I've always liked comments. Even silly ones. (Wingnuts and any spammers that sneak through get deleted, though.)
~

Unknown said...

Thunder, do you read all those comments? Do you click the linkies they provide? That's a lot of friggin reading.

The nice thing about WP is that you can delete the nutters and such by just inserting their IP in a ban list. No need to see them more than once I say.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

ma'am, I come from Sadly, No territory, where we likes to PLAY with trolls and nutters before we deal with them....

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

I've always liked comments. Even silly ones.

Wow.

THAT works out convenient, doesn't it?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

VON!

WHERE'S VON?

ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© said...

She's probably posting a youtube.
~

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

OK, Zardoz at Dusty's.

Nah, never work. She posts too often.

Although if you get drunk and ramble on about guitars you once owned, wished you owned, and hoped to own, she lets that go. So stick to guitars and whining about the destroyed construction industry, and YOU'RE GOOD TO GO!

I could of lived the rest of my friggin life without reading about that sloth however.

B^4 steals sloth stories.

Unknown said...

Anyone get an invite to Spotify yet? I did!!!!!Give me some songs to see if they have them in their system. anyone?

As for rambling on about geetars..yes I did enjoy that little break from reality m'dear Zombie.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Spotify?

Mekons: Curse of The Mekons.

Unknown said...

Dearest Zombie;

Spotify is currently a new music listening tool that is FREE. With the operative word being FREE, we should all try it, but alas..you guys didn't get an invite, I however did. ;-)

They captured Europe so they are aiming their sites on 'murika. I know you all love obsure, at least by my standards, music..so I am asking y'all for various songs, artist's etc to see how wide and varied their collection is. They supposidly have deals w/all music labels. Even Bonamassa is on there and he has his own label.

Unknown said...

Damn you Clyde..I clicked that link.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

a new music listening tool that is FREE.


....for now.

anyway, I DID leave you a suggestion to look for.

Unknown said...

Mekons is a group? A musical group? No shit??

I shall look and report back.

Unknown said...

Yes, its free for now..and I will delete it from my 'puter when it ceases to be free, which I think is six months.

Unknown said...

They have pages of songs by the Mekon's but nothing called The Curse of the Mekons.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

the song is called just "The Curse"

the album is called Curse of The Mekons.

It is notoriously wound up in legal label wrangling.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

looks to me like Spotify has free, 5 dollar and ten dollar options.

the free version sounds a bit like Pandora, although I don't see where it has Pandora's ability to learn your musical tastes.

dunno. Signed up though, if they pick me I'll give the free a try.

Unknown said...

Nothing from that album dude. Why is it tied up in the courts?

Unknown said...

Pandora is great. I have listened to Pandora for almost ten years.

You can supposedly put these tunes on your Ipod or any other device you use to listen to music. I guess they would 'expire' when you free subscription does. I haven't tried to put them on my Ipod as I can't find the fucker.

ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© said...

I bet you haven't heard 3Bulls! radio, Dusty!

;)

Unknown said...

I used to read the 3Bulls blog..any relation?

ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© said...

Yes, indeed.

Pinko created it. Awfulness is here.
~

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Thundra, that is a very mean thing to do.

Dusty, my reading of the three plans of Spotify is that the free service just works with your computer, while you have internet access. Maybe on internet iPods and iPhones too; but that using it when you don't have internet access is only available on the paid plan.

Pandora never quite clicks with me, and not just because of 3B raydio. I guess I prefer the wider variety that naturally shows up on my iPod.

Unknown said...

Well, the Spotify panel on my 'puter says I can d/l my musical choices to my Ipod and I would love to try it but I think the fucking cats played hide and seek w/it...meaning they hide it whilst I seek it. Those lil fuckers..they are on my last nerve lately and animal control only charges five bucks to send them ALL to la-la land..permanently*.

*I would never do it..but I love thinking about it.

Unknown said...

Jaysus..that post at 3B has a shitload of comments. Forgive me if I don't read them.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

that post at 3B has a shitload of comments.

that's because the awfulness of 3B raydio is SO AWFUL. However, the zombie comments are fucking funny.

And the terrible part is that it will play some decent songs, even some you really like, then BLAM hit you with Rick Springfield or The Romantics.

Unknown said...

And the terrible part is that it will play some decent songs, even some you really like, then BLAM hit you with Rick Springfield or The Romantics. Jaysus, that is nightmare alley. Forget it then.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

hanging out at 3Bulls too much really inspires some questionable life choices.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

So thundra's evil trick of getting Dusty to try 3B radio seemed to have failed.

Somewhat. I ended up putting it on, and I am getting a bloggo post out of it.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

thundra is in league with Pinko, but I am on to your evil schemes! Be careful, or I will feed you vodka-infused shrimp pasta again!

ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© said...

Did somebody say Pinko?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

I used to like Drum, before he sold out.

Vonnie said...

You must be exhausted.
All those videos....

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

I AM exhausted, Von.

I flapped and flapped and flapped, and couldn't get this Big Stone Head off the ground.

I will probably blame fish. when I am not so exhausted.

Kathleen said...

someone needs to email me and tell me where when these things are going on.
