What are you listening to, right now................
-
so following on from an earlier discussion, it appears Helmet released another album 2 weeks ago.
I have only heard the first single, and it's a bit shit. Ok, maybe not shit, but it's not Helmet. A preview of the others shows more promise, but i'm waiting to hear a youtube copy before i purchase.

I saw him in 2008 and 2010. Regretting now I did not make the 2013 concert.
Can someone please wrap Tom Waits in bubble-wrap until the end of the year

I love this recording live in Dublin - it really shows his humour and good grace

Ah the man she wanted all her life was hanging by a thread
"I never even knew how much I wanted you," she said.
His muscles they were numbered and his style was obsolete.
"O baby, I have come too late." She knelt beside his feet.
"I'll never see a face like yours in years of men to come
I'll never see such arms again in wrestling or in love."
And all his virtues burning in the smoky Holocaust
She took unto herself most everything her lover lost
Now the master of this landscape he was standing at the view
with a sparrow of St. Francis that he was preaching to
She beckoned to the sentry of his high religious mood
She said, "I'll make a place between my legs,
I'll show you solitude."
He offered her an orgy in a many mirrored room
He promised her protection for the issue of her womb
She moved her body hard against a sharpened metal spoon
She stopped the bloody rituals of passage to the moon
She took his much admired oriental frame of mind
and the heart-of-darkness alibi his money hides behind
She took his blonde madonna and his monastery wine --
"This mental space is occupied and everything is mine."
He tried to make a final stand beside the railway track
She said, "The art of longing's over and it's never coming back."
She took his tavern parliament, his cap, his cocky dance,
she mocked his female fashions and his working-class moustache.
The last time that I saw him he was trying hard to get
a woman's education but he's not a woman yet
And the last time that I saw her she was living with some boy
who gives her soul an empty room and gives her body joy.
So the great affair is over but whoever would have guessed
it would leave us all so vacant and so deeply unimpressed
It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star
I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far.

Well my old lady will be devastated by LC popping his clogs just as she was when Freddy Mercury died. Those two are about the only artists she genuinely enjoys, definitely got the musical appreciation from the old man.
As far as 2016 deaths go this one is pretty bearable.
@mariner4life my boys enjoy "How I could just kill a man" by Cypress Hill far more than RATM. I agree to be honest. I have versions with the swear words bleeped out which is handy.

My last LC spam for today - this song from 2012 more than any others seems appropriate for today

I do like quirky weirdos in music......not many fit the bill like Les Claypool. Also the way he combines vocals with some pretty fucken choice bass licks is pretty awe inspiring......
He thought he was too "weird" for Metallica.....they tactfully said he was "too good". Given they have Bass Monster Robert Trujillo in the ranks I think the former is true.
