Show 65: I Believe There's A Storm A Brewin', Nine Crows At Nine O'Clock Nye!

Yep so i'm told by cezza, aparently Thor just heard about how bad his film is, Or maybe it's Zeus in his pain and sadness at hearing his Defacto Hera had an sad untimely passing.... RIP, cheers to case.

Either way we missed out on bringing you our final clutch show of the month, A show with more twists and turns than ever before was planned and set out perfectly.... If you've ever had the pleasure of listening you'd doubt that to be true, and you'd possibly be right.... but i can kinda say that coz it never got to happen and you will never know...

Well tonights show was cancelled due to the storms incase you didnt know.... but one good thing came out of it, i got to head back early to the Dan O'connel in time for thier $1 tacos, and yep they were as good as they sound, cheap and nasty yet bloody awesome for a dollar, unfortunately the shells were well under done and were like yuck rubber, seriously aint that hard to toast up a bloody taco shell, you just need a "pincher" some dude to grab the corner of each heated batch and give it a squueze to see if its bendy or crispy, i'll even do it, for a small taco fee of course, but half arsed tacos aren't something i like to be around so thier already losing.... also the bean sauce or frijoles lacked spice and life and the salsa on top was just stuff out of a home brand tin of crushed tomatos... or so it seemeed, and the cheese, was that mozzerralla or tasty or what, next time try some goat flavour buddy it'll help a lot.... seriously spider mate, what are ya doing out there.... anyway an extra two bucks for a mini side dish of jalepenos was welll required and made into something a lot better.... And you thought you'd escape a kitchen review this week huh?

But yeah at least next week we will have some more super special new stuff for you, In the mean time ready set go... you got Riff Fist coming at ya with an extra 5 monutes to add to our set, shall we bring you a new song possibly, or just more killer guitar solo battles between myself and Mr. Purerockcasey.... well, you will have to come along and find out!

Thursday 9 O'Clock At the Espy Basement in StKilda, hopefully we can destroy the night for whatever "performers" hope to be playing in the main room upstairs by going to 11 on the orange and sinking the floor so they are magically teleported into a room of pure awesome riff fisting glory.... hope to see you all there, tune to the radio for the first half and then cruise down with it pumping in the taxi for the perfect warm up to the night....

Show 64: Destiny's Porch Sale

Great show this week where we had it all with new sounds of cave and the local faves the sand pebbles touring at the mo, to the pschyed out journey that is moon duo and damn wolfy and the bat cubs, always seems to surprise with thier great talents.

but we heralded the arrival of equality and human rights in tasmania with a bit of rainbow chasing by sheavy, off the very cool album electric sleep, definitely a must listen album for anyone, took me a while to discover but dang its good.

into a segment i probably should've thought more about where we talk about drinks being spiked and so on, as it seems to be a bit full on lately and have heard of it happenning to a few dudes i know as well as myself, and i mean i probably wouldn't have minded so much and still taken it if the dudes had of asked me first,,,, but its just a bit rude getting someone off thier faces nuts without asking permission, most would probably say yes i would think, and if they wouldn't want to get wasted then are they really your type of person anyway mr. spiker drinkerer...

so yeah we welcome summer with a bit of hendrix, i know its kinda a right of passage here at 3mdr to play a hendrix track regularily but by my reckonning this is only our third time in a shitload of shoes so i'd say good on us for managing to not conform to the masses that can't comprehend that its all blues it doesn't need to have a freaking predictable boring structure and melody to be blues, so stop calling us and just listen and learn ya tosser

The Human Beinz where we brought out a schaffer inspired know your DIPS session, certainly a hit that we will re-visit, just remember check your percentages and dont get ripped on an avocado dip that only has 8% avocado and 90 odd% cream cheese. that is ridiculous and as frivilous as it is , it is still right up today tonights alley for an expose into the dips that you think your buying but really your poisoning your children with false labelling and genetically modified yum, and dont get me started on salsa's!

And did you know REM broke up , so ... since.....
they wrote the song for Kaufman film Man on the Moon starring Jim carrey,
Jim carrey did cable guy with matthew broderick,
matthew broderick did the collossal film godzilla
and godzilla is japenese and you know what else is japanese........ MONO

and there you have it six (or whatever) degrees of seperation from REM to mono. it can be done, and we have a heap better band to end up playuing you,,,, who are is btw touring in two weeks, WITH a 21 piece orchestra! go get your tickets, that is unless your going to see booker T like me, in which case try and suss out some times so we can do both, Yes!!

No Anchor came down from brisbane to play three gigs in melbourne and we are so lame and didn't got to any of them, fingers crossed there is more visits asa that was a sad day of effort from us here, although i did discover the joys of flogging crap vinyls and books to trendy kids of fitzroy! suckers will pay 5 to 10 bucks for stuff that i'd be lucky to flog for a buck at a hills garage sale, i guess you could call it a boutique vintage garage sale like those shops that are just glorified op shops for the cool kids who have never heard of the goodies, kyuss or Melbourne Bitter, yep i can be an up myself wanker to these subverts of modern pop culture who just seem to miss it. doubt they will ever discover this blog , prob due to its lack of terms like, "find those cool glasses with thick black rims" "50 cent is he really a gangsta" "designer label jeans from catwalk to me" and "how i can be australias next top model", ah shit now thats done it....

and clutch , this week we had a listen to pure rock fury and blast tyrant squeezed in some of our faves for a decent showing of these mighty men of the south and their kick arse brand of rock'n'roll, one more week to go and its all over so check us out next week. 10001110101

Show 63: Hey Hey Now, Whats That Smell?

This show was the begginnning of something special , i went to a work function on the friday straight after, spent all night drinking free G&T's and playing pool, then i made it out to see the shaolin afronaughts, off my tits and hade a kickin arse boogie time, note to all haunters of johnson st, laundry is more down hill than south, so avoid getting any mixers there with syrupy flat coke that did well to kill the flow and make this funk warrior have colour up carlton north with some recycled canapes.... nothing to with the free g and t's they were good to me, for the most part.

Then Satruday scored a feed at the most bullshit bar in melbourne young and jacksons who i do not recommend anyone go to, then on to the melbourne ghost tour, which was really pretty ordinary and needed a much more mundane title that matched what it was really putting out there, pherhaps something like, follow a b-grade celebrity around melbourne while trying to do the dodgy on some bars and by a beer to quickly scoot back out and continue the "tour"

then in the end saw Syl Johnson, yep, cant say much more than it was a brilliant show and hope that the melbourne funk soul curse is broken as that dude needs to share those talents some more...

yeah a pretty funked up weekend really, good to have a bit of difference now and then, we also had some amazing cooking this week with lasnachos avocado and goat awesome, more to come. yey more clutch month

Show 62: Eggy Bread > French Toast

Dang wrote a description and somehow lost it so can't be stuffed repeating my words, just like the actual radio show, no rehearsals, no re-enactments, no quality....

anyway just wanted to say still that we are looking forward to Syl Johnson playing this coming weekend after the announcement of his heart attack setting the gig back a week, so will unfortunately miss out on a ghost tour of old melbourne gaol, sounded cool but reckon this coming sat at the hifi be cooler,,, we hope the inspiration for the gig was given by playing a dose of ex blues and soul legends that have carked it just after an aussie tour, so setting the scene that this could be it.... not like, "hey Syl, you gonna die if you give us a show" would hate to scare him off but, you know, just more of a crazy cat person yelling shit from a roof to get people excited at the impending sounds.... same could apply for booker T so get on it dudes

So DOOMSDAY has been officially announced, may have to get it all happenning with a doomed up show next week, always an exticting month october... and tickets on sale in december soon for Roadburn 2012, this years lineup promises to be a real treat for those worsippers of the riff of sleep, and as such we may have to give you a journey along the wrath of dopesmoker to hail the celebration of their return,,,, but that will all come in time....

And this month whats exciting is our Clutch especial' rock fest as we journey through the back catalogue of a band that has come a pretty darn long way in recent years to be a dominant force in the music scene with repeated back to back tours to australia in recent years, we aint complainin! of course the best show was no doubt the very first double over one weekend at the corner, which i have yet to see them top, but im sure i will one day,

AHHHHH monster magnet cancelled, its been the buzz in the melbourne pubs with everyone saying hey did you hear about monster magnet? yep i heard.... fuck it
