T-Model Ford enjoys Jack Daniels

So excited to see him on 6/2 at Radio Radio here in Indy...

"Born in 1921, T-Model Ford waited until he was 58 to start playing the guitar and until he was 75 to start recording. “He has been shot, stabbed, and poisoned,” wrote Jim Dickinson in the liner notes to Bad Man. “His ankles wear the ragged scars of chain gang shackles. He learned the hard way.” Ford’s music incorporates his life experience to create a potent brand of juke-joint blues. “In an era when the blues scene is dominated by white musicians who pick note-for-note renditions of blues warhorses…,” noted Jim Mcguinness in Bergen County, New Jersey’s Record, “Ford comes off as the genuine article.” Despite a late start, Ford wasted little time establishing himself as a Mississippi bluesman with deep roots in the Delta."

more mid 90's HC nostaglia: THREADBARE edition

So we just moved and I started the task of unpacking some of my old cd's that I haven't looked at in years. One of those was Threadbare's Feeling Older Faster CDEP  (Doghouse Records) which I picked up when new in '94 or '95. I'm too lazy to check facts. Tons of 90's hardcore doesn't hold up for shit. Either the songs are shitty high school kid emo poetry with awesome, scoopy, Crate tone or its a huge string of BROOTAL mosh riffs. Threadbare did something original. They were heavy as fuck and you can tell they were for real and playing with emotion. Well if they weren't they made it sound genuine. To me, at least, it still holds up. No one I know really ever talks about them, so I am guessing they are underrated by many. So POTAH is here to spread the word. The band was from Minneapolis (one of the lesser 'apolises of our great nation, well at least to 'napolis). I don't know what members went on to do or really care. Just listen to this shit and feel it.
get you some

slow bloggiddybloggering

for the few of you that do read/look at POTAH, i have been slacking lately.... mostly because we have been  moving from the westside compound to new digs in Fountain Square. here we have way more room to mess with our bikes and listen to METAL! i hope to post about such things soon. in the meantime, go listen to "Don't Break the Oath."
