The Muffs (1993) may not be the band’s best album, but there are many days it’s my favorite. All the songwriting elements that Kim Shattuck would hone, perfect, and whip into shape by Happy Birthday To Me (1997) were present from the debut– and to a lesser extent, the singles leading up to this CD.

2015 started with such promise. My girlfriend, Sarah, became my wife, Sarah, on March 26, after which we honeymooned in Joshua Tree, even staying in the Gram Parsons Room at JT Inn. (Room 8 for those of you looking to follow that plan.) I saw a transcendent Replacements at the Hollywood Palladium in April, […]Related Posts* Adios Lounge Podcast with Bob Forrest, Part 1 October 19, 2015 * ...

Well, I hope you liked Part 1 of my interview with Bob Forrest. This is the second part, which is a bit longer than the first. The main difference between the two posts — and knowing me, I’ll end up doing this for both — is that Part 2 comes with an annotated timeline.

If you’re gonna start podcasting, why not start with the lead singer and lyricist for your first favorite band? Bob Forrest is the co-founder and frontman for Thelonious Monster, the LA band whose heyday paralleled my first heyday, the late ’80s and early ’90s. There’s something about being 20-21 years old and feeling like […]Related Posts* Kickstart Bob Forrest Documentary February 23, 2011 * "All Up In The Interweb": New Bob Forrest Radio Show!

A few weeks ago both Mike Kelly and Channing Lewis of Grand Champeen alerted me to this podcast with separate posts to my Facebook wall. Thanks fellas, you know me so well. It’s a one-on-one conversation between Bob Forrest of Thelonious Monster and Bicycle Thief and Cris Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets. The interesting […]Related Posts* bob forrest cris kirkwood May 30, 2015 * cris kirkwood shot June 1, 2015 * Adios Lounge Podcast with Bob Forrest, Part 1 October 19, 2015 * Don't Call It Nothing: A New Podcast July 24, 2021 * otis gibbs podcast February 13, 2013
A couple of weeks ago, my interview with Michael Limnios of Blues.Gr was posted to his website of the same name. Blues.Gr is “the online community of people that got the blues in Greece” and it blows me away that there is such a thing. 100 years ago, if for some inexplicable reason you […]Related Posts* DexaVision: Caption & Down Low June 14, 2009 * I Asked For Water (She Gave Me Gasoline) August 19, 2014 * Black Voices and Honky Tonks May 8, 2008 * Wigginstock: This Is American Music October 28, 2010 * Adios Lounge Podcast with Bob Forrest, Part 1 October 19, 2015
And so it came to pass that on July 18, 2012, I finally bore witness to Keirda Bahruth’s excellent Bob Forrest documentary, Bob And The Monster, at the Crawford Family Forum in Pasadena. It was well done, deftly mixing interviews, extant footage, and animation sequences. The narrative didn’t linger too long on any one part […]Related Posts* Kickstart Bob Forrest Documentary February 23, 2011 * SXSW Film: Bob And The Monster March 10, 2011 * thelonious monster core October 2, 2012 * thelonious monster stormy weather September 27, 2012 * thelonious monster circa 1989 October 6, 2012
In my previous entry, Riddle Me This, My Brother: Deconstructing “Shadrach,” I revisited Paul’s Boutique, and for the millionth time marveled at the Beastie Boys and Dust Brothers, who then included Matt Dike. However, Paul’s was a seven-man operation and like a dumbass, I overlooked producer, engineer, mixer, soundman, multi-instrumentalist, electronics whiz, security guard […]Related Posts* mario caldato September 28, 2012 * Deconstructing "Johnny Ryall" April 29, 2010 * paul's boutique studio army October 29, 2012 * Riddle Me This, My Brother: Deconstructing "Shadrach" June 13, 2012 * Thankful N' Thoughtful November 25, 2016
