Friends of Entropic Life, lend me your ears…
Been a light week for content here at the Life. Too many birthdays and people moving around. Without further ado, here are this week’s top three…
Sick Puppies – Australian trio with a heavy sound. All the Same is the sad song below, but put against the background of Juan Mann’s Free Hugs campaign on youtube, it’s an uplifting treat that even made my mama shed a tear. If you look closely, you’ll see Curtis, the Take Home Chef from TLC, sharing the love, too.
Gogol Bordello – Gypsy punks whose live shows are supposed to be fantastic. Mr. Hutz and crew in Milan with Supertheory of Supereverything.
Tim Armstrong – Of Rancid and Operation Ivy, Tim’s solo album dropped last year and has been popping up on my MP3 player every couple of weeks, seemingly out of nowhere. Into Action and Wake Up are also nice cuts from the wax. But Hold On (below) is my pick of the litter. This guy has the best punk voice (in my humble opinion.) I was able to see Rancid during a Warped Tour several years ago and it was one of the best closing acts of a festival I’ve seen. Throw in my bro, some Henry Rollins, and Good Charlotte (when they actually meant a little something to me) and I had a bloody brilliant day.
There you have it, class. Again, sorry for the light week. Your safety briefing for the weekend is as follows…
If you’re going to drink, don’t drive. And…
If you’re going to swim, swim with a buddy.
