#6 - The Orwells

From Wikipedia: The Orwells are an American rock band from Elmhurst, a suburb west of Chicago, Illinois, United States. The members include Mario Cuomo (vocals), Dominic Corso (guitar), Grant Brinner (bass), and Henry Brinner (drums). Their debut album Remember When was released in August 2012. The band is known for their song "Who Needs You", which was performed on the Late Show with David Letterman and was featured in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V and Apple commercial for the iPad Air 2.

The Orwells formed when all the members attended York High School in Elmhurst, Illinois. The band was discovered in late 2011 by Aquarium Drunkard blogger Justin Gage, who signed them to his Autumn Tone label imprint. They graduated high school early in 2013 to pursue their musical career.

The Orwells were named as one of the overlooked artists of 2012 in MTV's annual list. Their single "Mallrats (La La La)" was also reviewed by music website Pitchfork. They performed at Lollapalooza in August 2013. On November 5, 2013, The Orwells appeared on Later... with Jools Holland. On November 22, 2013, Arctic Monkeys announced that The Orwells would be their support at nine American concerts in January and February 2014.

On March 1, 2023, the Orwells announced their return with the double single "Bar Fly / Friendly Fire". The band released a statement saying "Almost five years ago, we were falsely accused of inappropriate conduct by a group of people we had never met. Their untrue but sensational rumors led us to take a break to address the situation. We saw no choice but to take legal action and filed a business tort and defamation suit. We are satisfied with the progress in our case and will keep you posted."

#5 - Belly

Belly has to be one of my all time favorite bands. Tanya Donelly started of in Throwing Muses with her sister Kristen Hersh and went on to form The Breeders with Kim Deal. After their first album Tanya left to form her own band Belly. Her melodic dreamy voice backed by distorted chorus driven guitars and solid beats made for fantastic performances live.

From Wikipedia: Belly is an alternative rock band formed in Rhode Island in 1991 by Tanya Donelly. The original lineup consisted of Donelly on vocals and guitar, Fred Abong on bass, and brothers Tom and Chris Gorman on guitar and drums respectively.[1] The band released two albums during the early 1990s alternative rock boom before breaking up in 1995. They reunited in 2016 and mounted limited tours in the United States and United Kingdom that year.

n 1993, their debut album Star was released, and its lead single "Feed the Tree" would be Belly's biggest hit song, peaking at number one on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart and number 95 on the Hot 100. Several additional singles from the album also appeared on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Shortly after the release of Star, Abong left the group and was replaced by Gail Greenwood. The band released their second album, King, in early 1995. Commercial and critical success did not match Star and the band broke up at the end of that year. Donelly embarked on a long solo career. She reformed Belly in 2016 with the same lineup that had recorded King, and their third album, Dove, was released in 2018.

Belly will always be in my top 5 bands of all time.

#4 - Everclear

Formed in 1992 in Portland, Oregon, Everclear was probably one of my favorite bands in the 90's. They hade a large hard rock sound that was punctuated with softer ballads that covered topics like poverty, mental illness, absent fathers, drug addiction and sexuality. The band for the first few albums consisted of Art Alexakis (Lead Vocals, Lead Guitars), Craig Montoya (Vocal, Bass), Greg Ecklund (Drums, Percussion).

From Wikipedia: After the limited release of their independently released debut album, World of Noise (1993), the band found success with their first three albums on Capitol Records: Sparkle and Fade (1995), So Much for the Afterglow (1997), and Songs from an American Movie Vol. One: Learning How to Smile (2000), which were all certified platinum in sales in the United States. However, the following two albums Songs from an American Movie Vol. Two: Good Time for a Bad Attitude (2000) and Slow Motion Daydream (2003) stalled commercially, with Montoya and Eklund leaving shortly after.

After a brief stint of solo performances, Alexakis decided to push forward with the Everclear name with new members, releasing three more studio albums, Welcome to the Drama Club (2006), Invisible Stars (2012), and Black is the New Black (2015). The band remains active in touring and live performances to-date, including many iterations of band's long-running 1990s nostalgia music festival Summerland Tour throughout the 2010s. A studio album of new material is scheduled for release in 2026.

Their live shows were high energy and Art Alexakis plays live like a man on fire.

Enjoy!

Let’s talk 9/11. The further away we get from a moment in time the less and less likely that we’ll find out the truth of the matter. It was a terrible day and in retrospect an eye opening one. For me., I no longer saw our government as having any concern toward its citizens. The reason for this change in attitude comes particularly from one event that I can honestly say was a fabrication right from the start. The crash of Flight 93.

According to the official word. Flight 93 had been taken over by 4 terrorists who had taken control and were trying to fly the plane to the White House and crash it. The plane carried 37 passengers on board who learned of the terrorists plans and took it upon themselves to attack their captors and were able to reach the cabin and caused the pilot/terrorist to crash the plane into the ground. Now here’s where things get hard to believe.

The plane crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania and the live footage showed a field where there was some debris, a couple of small fires and what looked like the burnt outline of a plane. Airplane crashes are particularly nasty business. When they occur on land you can expect to see massive fires, wreckage, body parts, luggage, whole bodies, blood, you get the picture. It’s literally a hellscape. This was all missing from the crash site. There was some trash it looked like and a couple of spot fires. No wreckage, no bodies or parts, nothing but there was the outline of what looked like plane. So seeing all this I thought where is the crash, where is the plane?

So the official word was that the plane had crashed in an area where the soil was very fine and soft and that the plane had crashed entirely into and underneath the ground. 30 feet under the ground. Let that sink in for a second.

Does that sound like stupidest shit you’ve ever heard. It did to me. Anything crashes into the ground at the speed that jetliner would is not going to bury itself without a trace. It’s going to smash the shit out of that plane and everybody in it. Again, wreckage, fires, body parts, luggage etc…

So when this becomes the explanation of where is the plane we start hearing about the pentagon where is was reported that there was no wreckage or bodies just a lot of fire.

Flight 93 was commemorated by a song by Garth Brooks called Let’s Roll, which was the statement made by one of the passengers when they phoned their intentions to take over the plane. There was also a movie about it as well. This is propaganda used in order electrify the country in this false patriotism.

We went to war because of this entire event and the Patriot Act was foisted upon us to erode our civil liberties. Part of what they needed to implement the mass surveillance of the American people. They killed 3000+ of our citizens not it mention 7,000+ soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. 1 million civilians dead because greed and a bloodlust that seems alive and well in our government today. Things have to change and quickly before we lose all credibility in the world and doom ourselves to annihilation at the hands of our own government.

#3 The Doors

We're going way back to 1965 for our next band. the Doors Robby Krieger (Guitars), Ray Manzarek (Organ), John Densmore (Drums) and the embodiment of Dionysus himself, Jim Morrison. Probably the most influential and controversial rock acts of the 1960's. the Doors landed in Hollywood and experienced a meteoric rise to the annals of rock history with songs that at their fundamental levels were the heartbeat of Los Angeles in that turning point year in 1969.

The band took its name from the title of the English writer Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception.

 the Doors with Morrison recorded and released six studio albums in five years, some of which are generally considered among the greatest of all time.

The Doors were the first American band to accumulate eight consecutive Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)-certified Gold and Platinum LPs.

Morrison died in uncertain circumstances in 1971.

The Doors recorded their self-titled debut album around August 1966, at Sunset Sound Studios.

On September 17, 1967, the Doors gave a memorable performance of "Light My Fire" on The Ed Sullivan Show. According to Manzarek, network executives asked that the word "higher" be removed, due to a possible reference to drug use.The group appeared to acquiesce, but performed the song in its original form, because either they had never intended to comply with the request or Jim Morrison was nervous and forgot to make the change (the group has given conflicting accounts).Either way, "higher" was sung out on national television, and the show's host, Ed Sullivan, canceled another six shows that had been planned. After the program's producer told the band they would never perform on the show again.

I did a lot of acid and mushrooms back in the day and the Doors were my soundtrack to those psychedelic adventures. They were always there for the ride and the poetry that Jim Morrison penned was effortless, timeless and relevant to the turmoil of my youth. I am the man I am and will be in the future of these artists and when I depart from this life time I'm certain that my transcendence to the next thing will be soundtracked by the Doors.

I get the funny feeling that the Straight of Hormuz narrative is a bunch of total bullshit. Iran’s not closing it. The billionaires are. They buy fleets of oil tankers. Fill them up and set sail and then they just stop. Right where they are. The oil never reaches ports and the price gets higher and higher. When the price gets high enough. Then they sail, dock and sell at grossly gouging price. Earning them more and more billions of dollars. Billionaires are the enemy not Iran.

What if we win?

What if the children go to schools unafraid of tear gas and bullets?

What if the birds come back, and the bees are healed, and every species moves from endangered, to threatened, to thriving?

What if the rainforest ADVANCES?

What if every parking lot had solar panels? What if every structure had solar panels? What if we built climbing gyms and terraced gardens in the skeletons of old coal power plants?

What if you baked your neighbor bread, and they shared their home-grown blackberries?

What if every person who needed a home, had one? What if every person who needed healing was healed?

What if every body was treasured for what it was, not what it should be?

What if every trans child's parents attended their graduation, their wedding, their new-name-day?

What if every warehouse became a closed-circle repair station? Goods flowing out, and back, and out again? What if landfills started to SHRINK?

What if the water and air were clean? What if there was enough public transit that the cars dwindled, leaving the streets safe for kids on bikes, evening deer, midnight cats and foxes?

What if we win?

How would you win?

Fear of the unknown

AI is here. It has been with us for many years now. It has slowly creeped into civilization quietly but with purpose. We're still here. There are those that would have us believe AI will be the end of humanity. It won't be. Trust me it won't. Artificial intelligence by itself is not the threat the media would have you believe. Their fear mongering is being used to cover up the real threat. Humans with AI are the threat we have to pay attention. More specifically billionaires with AI are the real enemy. Think about it. Almost every single point of crisis that the general population of this planet faces has been caused by billionaires and their agenda. Pay attention people. As we speak they are moving in the dark to line up their next move to fuck us even more. AI if used properly has the potential to solve most of the problems that mankind has created for itself. Billionaires are not going to let that happen. Their greed is a sickness that can not be cured. Can not be bargained with. Can not be coerced and can not be reasoned with at all. if bulk mankind is to survive then billionaires must become pariah. No billionaire with artificial intelligence to aid them has any of our best interests in mind. It's time to eat the rich, French Revolution style.

Billionaires have taken the American Dream from you. They are currently using AI as the excuse for the massive amount of layoffs currently and in the near future at corporation after corporation. AI isn't fueling this crisis. greed is. The billionaires put that moron president in office. The one that is breaking the law, lying at every turn, making himself richer at our expense and inching the entire world closer and closer to World War 3. Make no mistake. World War 3 is the end. We all lose and that piece of shit billionaire would rather start Armageddon than face the crime he committed by raping a 13 year old girl on Epstein's Island. Billionaires have made this country into a shit show. They've robbed us of healthcare, free education, dignity and convinced our politicians that we owe them. Are you pissed off yet? I hope so because I sure as fuck am.

#2 - The Breeders

Our next band we'll be taking a look at is The Breeders. The founding members of The Breeders consisted of Kim Deal (Lead Vocals, Rythm Guitar), Tanya Donelly (Lead Guitars), Josephine Wigg (Bass) and Britt Walford. Kim's twin sister Kelley Deal (Guitars) was brought in later as Tanya Donelly left to form her own band, Belly. After their debut only garnered indie radio success Britt left the band and Jim MacPherson was brought and would remain the drummer for the duration. It's worth mentioning that Kurt Cobain had taken notice and listed Pod as one of his all time favorite albums.

Their Sophomore album Last Splash was a breakthrough success with MTV pushing their music videos for such hits as Canonball, Devine Hammer and Saints.

From wikipedia: A year after the success of Last Splash, drug and alcohol issues forced the band into hiatus in 1994, while both the Deal sisters did separate stints in rehab in the following years. During the band's hiatus, Kim Deal formed the short-lived alternative rock band The Amps, recording a single album, Pacer, in 1995. In the late 1990s, Kim and Kelley reformed The Breeders with a new line-up (including members of the band Fear) and released two more albums, Title TK in 2002 and Mountain Battles in 2008. In 2013, Kim and Kelley had announced that the "classic" line-up (including Josephine Wiggs and Jim Macpherson) had reunited for the first time since the 1990s for a new series of tours celebrating the 20th anniversary of the band's hit album Last Splash. They released their fifth album All Nerve in 2018, the first "classic" Breeders line-up's full-length album together since 1993's Last Splash.

One thing that really keeps me awake at night. Besides the speed. Is that we're living in a period of fascism here in the U.S. The dickhead has been quoted as saying that he was gonna be a dictator on day one. These aren't notions of hype that liberals are making up. He aid he was gonna do it and here we are. This piece of shit ha been filling hos pockets, pardoning criminals, participated in genocide by proxy, disrespected countless professional men and women on live TV, LIED about anything and everything to all of us, given a finger to the constitution. A real fucking low life piece of shit not even worthy of the bottom of our shoe. What keeps me up is when have any of ever heard of a fascist regime that ends peacefully. I've been witness to a few in my lifetime and tell you what? Thee motherfuckers never just walk away and transfer the leadership peacefully. LOOK WHAT HE FUCKING DID LAST TIME!!

Every dictator, throughout history, has to be dragged out of office and meet a horrible end. Momar Khadafi of Libya, yeah, they stuck a shotgun up his virgin asshole and pulled the trigger. Really blew his mind. Sadam Hussein, his fucking head detached from his body when they hung him. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! No bullshit.

So dickhead wants to be a dictator. Ha ha! Well, lets see how that goes.

You know what keeps me up. The fact that people of this country are gonna let it slide. Yeah, to fucking scared to do what needs to be done to that piece of shit. He'll never serve a day in jail or hi republican buddies. Make no mistake they fucked all of us. And what do we do? We march...aww. We protest...aww. Yeah, that works.

That's a fucking joke. This cocksucker pulled down half the White House you think he gives a shit about people protesting? They're planning to get him after the midterms. Gimme a fucking break. You don't think he's gonna cheat that shit too? Like he did the election. There should be rioting in the fucking streets right now. Their should be 7 million people standing in front of the White House with pitchforks and torches ready to drag him out of there and hang him from he street pole. But no, no. Let's have another march. Whatever happens to us because of this dumb motherfucker we deserve it. We fail to make them realize they work for us.

Oh and one more thing. They talk about he's not taking a paycheck. THAT'S BECAUSE HE'S STEALING TAX PAYER MONEY, OUR FUCKING MONEY, TO LINE HIS POCKETS AND HIS FRIENDS TO. All you that voted for him. This is your fault. Did you ever get that piece of the pie he promised you? Yeah, I didn't think so. Tell you what? Why don't you hold your breath for it.

Alright let’s kick this off with some old new music for you all. First band in this series will be one of my current favorites.

#1 - STONE TEMPLE PILOTS

STP as they are known by their fans formed in San Diego, CA in 1989. Originally consisting of Scott Weiland (Vocals), Eric Katz (Drummer), Dean (Guitar) and his brother Robert DeLeo (Bass). Initially they were part of the Grunge movement but in my opinion they’re just a great rock band because their music borrowed from several different genres throughout their discography.

Scott was, by far, the best. He died in February 2013 of a heart attack in his sleep. It still saddens me when I think of that day. He was a good dude, a talented musician and true artist. I miss his music. I miss him.

As you can hear STP's music weave between driving fast tempoed hard rock and melodic haunting ballads. This from Wikipedia, "While initially rising to fame as part of the grunge movement of the early 1990s, further releases from the band explored a variety of styles, including psychedelic rock, bossa nova, and classic rock. Stone Temple Pilots are regarded as one of the most successful rock bands of the 1990s, having sold more than 18 million albums in the United States and 40 million worldwide that decade."

Scott's death in 2013 was sudden and most people thought that the band had reached it's end but they had parted ways with Scott shortly before he passed away. They had brought Chester Benington of linkin Park.

It's unusual for a band to replace their lead singer with a guy that sounds exactly like the last guy.

POSER!!!!

But the band took it a step further. Enter Jeff Gutt.

After listening to STP with Jeff Gutt. I finally came to realize that the members of Stone Temple Pilots decided that their band had a style and sound that is their own and Scott created that with them and the fans can still it enjoy it. I'm sure Scott is still their when they play even if you can't see him you can definitely hear him. You can still catch these guys live. They'll be coming around at the end summer.

So that's it for now. Enjoy. i'll have some more new old music for you to discover soon.
