Broken Tooth

 I broke a tooth a short while back. It wasn't bothering me and I had shit going on and was planning on making a dentist appointment anyway since it's been a pandemic since I went and I still have a temporary crown in from before I got COVID so I kind of  left it for a bit.

Then I finally made the dreaded call and appointment. Soonest was three and a half weeks out that fit my needs. (Life's different when you work nights) But I had one.

Naturally almost immediately after that it all hit the fan and it's not very fun trying to eat anything that requires chewing.

I called tonight and made a new appointment. It's five days out.
I'm probably gonna lose some of that post-COVID weight now...

Today It's You (1999)

The band is Marmoset

The sound is kind of angular pop music. 

My best guess is that one or more of them are fans of Mayo Thompson and all who sail with him. At least that's me. I get plenty of hints of Red Krayola here and I'm entirely fine with that.

This album hung out on my phone for quite a long time before I took it off to make room for new things. Always a pleasant surprise when random play threw a track into my sonic pathway.

Probably not going to change anybody's world, but certainly a worthy distraction from the inevitability of death.

Still Quarantined Almost a Year Ago.

Like the title says.

Which is good news, since it means I was surviving into last April.

We'll see if it lasts

If nothing else this is the 700th fucking lame ass post on this shitty blog.

Seriously. WTF?

Funny (1992)

Hope.

A pretty generic name for a band which doesn't necessarily make for easy searching via the google machine and which even confused the usually pretty good cloudberry folks.

So this may or may not be the product of one person named Stuart Troop.

Not that it matters.

It was released on A Turntable Friend so you already know it's quality.

Telescope (1994)

This band calling itself the Mary Janes hailed from Indianapolis, IN and haven't apparently updated their website since 2003. It's probably safe to assume it's merely a ghost ship at this point.

According to that website "the mary janes play honest american music from the heart of the midwest."

I'm not exactly sure how that relates to what they were doing way back in 1994, but it's a description of some sort which is usually in short supply around these parts because blah blah blah "dancing about architecture"

But there's some scratchy fiddle and acoustic guitars in there.

"Telescope" is the winner here though. 

I'd play that one. It's a good one

I guess We Already Crossed Oklahoma off the list.

I got excited for a second until I realized we already did an Oklahoma band.

Oh well, this is just Okie gravy...

Be a Zombie (1981)

Los Reactors, Tulsa, OK

The best punk rock band from Tulsa ever.

Big Picture EP (1980)

Last Four (4) Digits, Indianapolis, IN

There's a song called "Coughing Up Blood"
You'll like this one.
