Sometimes you get caught up in other shit in your life, and forget completely how awesome some things from your youth truly were. <br /><br />Just take a moment to appreciate this recording of a great track, and acknowledge the awesomeness of this album.<br /><br />

Nick you may be a common western Sydney bogan, but in my book you're alright. <br><br>
Faith No More and Soundgarden on the same day at Soundwave is very tempting (with Ministry as a sweetener) -
<p>New Faith No More album!</p>

<p>fuck i love me some FNM. Their last album was my least favourite of the discography (i don't count the stuff with Chuck Mosley, this is Mike Patton's band), it still has some cracking tracks. I could be here all day posting my favourite tracks off all their albums</p>

<p>The real thing would be one of my favorite albums of all time , the others didn't ever really grab me like that one did. I saw them live in Wellington at the old town hall and they were superb, they did a live recording at Brixton that awesome too.</p>
</div>
<p> </p>
<p>They are a very weird bunch though, this is from keyboard player Roddy Bottums [titter] wikipedia page, </p>
<p> </p>
<p style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">"Bottum <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coming_out' title="Coming out">came out</a> as <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay' title="Gay">gay</a> in 1993.<sup><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roddy_Bottum#cite_note-Advocate_1999-3'>[3]</a></sup> In a 2001 article in <i><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Advocate' title="The Advocate">The Advocate</a></i>, Bottum stated that "I would never have thought as a gay teen I'd be in a band that would be considered heavy metal or hard rock."<sup><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roddy_Bottum#cite_note-4'>[4]</a></sup></p>
<p style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">One of his contributions to Faith No More was "Be Aggressive," a song about <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_sex' title="Oral sex">oral sex</a>. Bottum has said in interviews that he wrote the song largely as a joke at <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Patton' title="Mike Patton">Mike Patton</a>'s expense, enjoying the potential humiliation a straight vocalist would subject himself to onstage. "Be Aggressive" became the second most-played song at Faith No More concerts. Bottum would also describe <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerbilling' title="Gerbilling">gerbil stuffing</a> in graphic detail to shocked interviewers.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Before he came out as gay, Bottum was actually involved in a brief heterosexual relationship with <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtney_Love' title="Courtney Love">Courtney Love</a> in the early 80s, concurrent with the time she sang for Faith No More. The two remain friends to this day.<sup><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roddy_Bottum#cite_note-5'>[5]</a>"</sup></p>

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;">A lot of people will tell you that between shows like <i>The Sopranos</i>, <i>The Wire</i>, <i>Mad Men</i>, and <i>Breaking Bad</i>, the last 10-15 years may represent the greatest period in the history of television drama. This is a defensible argument, I suppose, but it overlooks one important fact: Johnny Cash played the murderer in <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071351/'>a 1974 episode of <i>Columbo</i> titled “Swan Song,â€</a> and <strong>it was amazing</strong>.</span></p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"> </p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;">How amazing? Well…</span></p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"> </p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;">Johnny Cash plays some sort of Gospel singer/televangelist named Tommy Brown. Turns out Tommy is an ex-con who has been carrying on an affair with one of his underage backup singers, which Tommy’s wife uses to blackmail him into pumping all the earnings from his shows into the mega-temple she’s planning to build. So, Tommy, who is also a pilot, obviously, decides to take care of both of his problems at once by taking his wife and underage mistress up in a plane together, drugging them, then jumping out of the plane and parachuting to safety — with a parachute he made himself from the nylon they used for the robes worn by his backup singers — as it crashes into the side of a mountain.</span></p>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">So, to recap: We’ve got crooked religious types, a scandalous underage affair, blackmail, homemade parachutes, and a staggeringly elaborate murder that involves A. drugs, and B. a last-minute escape from a small plane as it screams toward its fiery demise. And all of that happens in like the first 20 minutes. And then the rest of the episode features Columbo trying to outwit Tommy. And, again, Tommy is played by Johnny Cash. Who sings a lot. Often for no discernible plot-based reason. </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">You should watch it.</span></span></div>

<p>I heard a very lame contemporary version of this gem on a jazz station that made me blow my gasket. I don't understand the point of doing covers of great songs that are mailed in. Here's the original (I think it should properly be titled "Ritmo Pilon," at least that's what I've always known it. I think whoever uploaded this grabbed it from a compilation found in coffee stores.). The rhythm, horns and vocals are fantastic. I believe it's from the '50s, but could be early 60s (?). Hard to get a lot of accurate recording dates from Cuba.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Doing the youtube search I found some swell vintage footage of Alonso. I love these cool-as-fuck Cuban bandleaders. Party time.</p>
