My Bloody Valentine "You Made Me Realise"

The Sonics - Louie Louie

Top 5 Saturday

 Its been awhile since I've done a top 5 so here it goes Top 5 Desert Island artist.

Number 1. Johnny Cash- The man is the best of the best period. He has sad songs, happy songs, songs about killing people, and songs about true love. Just amazing. All his records even the 70's ones have killer tracks on them. The last three records he made before he died where the opus of his career. Rick Rubin has a way with getting the best out of people and on those American Recording records it is the best. Buy all of them and fall in love with music again.

Number 2. Black Sabbath- Seriously if I have to even say why then I would hate you. So god damn good anytime anywhere any volume I swear they were on another planet. Drugs probably helped but I find myself rocking out straight up headbanger style at least once a week to all the records back to back.  I could do with out hearing Iron man ever again but besides that I swear they are all gems.

Number 3. The Clash- Joe Strummer is one of my ultimate idols. Rare is the fact that he could actually be the only person that I hold in a very high regard. I have read everything I can get my hands on. He wrote crazy good songs and lived a amazing life. As for the Clash goes the songs themselves hold there own ground and go the gammit from straight up punk rock, Dub, rockabilly, and service announcements with guitar. So fucking good. I love the Mick  songs as well and right now I singing all of them in fast forward trying to think of my favorite. I can't because they are all so good. The live record From Here To Eternity is the best live record of all time. Like The Who Live at Leeds level shit.

Number 4. The Sonics- Straight up the punkest band in the world ever. For a 60's garage band they played the raunchiest most bad ass fuzzed soaked trashed out rock and roll mother fucking music period. The Witch is the song that got me hooked. It sounded like a caveman banging two rocks together and in the most awesome way two rocks can be banged together. They do the hits as well like there version of Louie Louie is the best. I personally think it has the first punk guitar break down ever. If you don't believe me find the track and give it a listen. Buy everything and be stoked and just think that these songs are damn near 50 years old now. Crazy

Number 5. My Bloody Valentine- This is one of those bands that made me love playing guitar. So much tone in there music. Layers and layers of feedback with lush bass lines floating around filling up the space between your ears. Genius almost to the level of being retarded is how it went for the band. There is a lost record somewhere that never saw the light of day. There very first record sounds like the Cramps then two years later there Isn't Anything LP comes out and just destroys the world with the songs and the level of pure pop genius. Cute ladies never hurt a band so have girls that can actually play well and sing is just the makings for epic shit. Buy EVERYTHING LIKE NOW STUPIDS.

Left Side Boogie

Well like I said in the last post on to the left side. Took the stock primary and cut the shit out of it. Cut out the bearing support for the tranny. Then went at the primary outer to give it some shape. I like my shoe laces in my boots so this should almost eliminate that issue. Clutch will be easy to get to and still has the open look. Got my jockey lever hooked up and next is the clutch linkage. Everything has to be adjustable because of the transmission having to slide back for tension. Anyways have a killer weekend and it was cool enough last night to wear a flannel. It was AWESOME. Thanks to Johnny and Shea for hosting the Full Speed Ahead show. It was a good time and lots of bikes and cars showed up.

Pagan Gold Flow

Only took one picture of this Shovel at the show. Clean paint and everything else followed. 113" Shovel he said and who am I to doubt it. Sounded like a crazed ape when he started it.. Went today and got the master cylinder put on that Tony gave me. Thanks Tony and that means the right side is done. On to the left.

Greaserama Pt 2

So as you can see Sunday was absolutely amazing. Sun was out and we had the biggest turn out ever. Saw some killer bikes and I have decided I will be buying a car this year to roll the family in. Tony came by and hooked me up with a master cylinder for my bike. Johnny Chop was out and saw a bunch of other people I rarely get to see So thanks to everybody that came out and had a good time and fuck the drama queens.

The Muck and Mire

Despite the weather everybody was out in droves. Today is gonna be epic and should be perfect weather. Here is the first pics I will post. Ian was scared to death of the skeleton on the bike. I tried to get a picture next to it but he was not having it.
