In praise of... stoner rock!

[Large]

I have "Superunknown" which I bought on the back of liking the video for "Fell on Black Days." It's a great Soungarden album. Don't know anything else about them to be honest.

I'd really like to hear more Soundgarden, I tend to get into bands by liking one band then looking up their influences. The producer that I've recorded with most often is in a band called Blacktop Harrison, who it turns out are influenced by Soundgarden:

I'm now really hoping my boss wanders out of the office for a bit so I can hear this legendary riff!

I'm sending most of my cd collection to the charity shop and you're welcome to the Soundgarden and Audioslave if you like. I'm fed up with them taking up space and it's so easy to find music online these days that there's little point in hanging on to them.

Talking of riffs (from the 1.43m mark you will need to throw up the horns):

Tour management

Hells teeth, if you can manage a tour you can manage anything! I literally have no idea how tour managers can survive - I'm impressed!

Oh dear Andrew, you've done it again. This is a genre that I've never come across and I've not heard of any of the bands, either.

Was Victor Mature a proponent of this music?

Give it a spin, think of it as Victor Mature's film noir music with guitars!

'BUG' is one of the very rare albums in this world, in that it is almost immaculate.
