Something 4 The Weekend # 99

Sleater-Kinney: The Hot Rock: "Burn Don't Freeze" [mp3]

99 divided by 3 equals 33...Add a third to that and it's a real longplayer, babycakes!

So of course it's a good time to catch up with three wild cats who wailed and hailed from Olympia, Washington, with three, count 'em, three songs from their 1999 album, The Hot Rock, natch...Plus, the first time I streamed Sleater-Kinney here at HOT POOP, way back in the spring of 2006, I served up three other nuggets from three other S-K albums...

Not The Hot Rock album...

Sleater-Kinney: The Hot Rock: "Banned From The End Of The World" [mp3]

It was S4TW #6 back then, a time when I still wasn't uploading album cover art, and the songs streamed from ye olde ButterScotch Threshold...Ah, such innocent days...

And here we are now, at the end of a year that kinda feels like the end of the world really might be right around the corner...But we don't really wanna consider the number crunchers and broke-assed brokers who are dragging all of us over the edge, do we?

No. So this is # 99 in a high performance series, and next week it will be the 100th something else 4 the weekend, and it will be 1-2-2009 and I suppose there's a whole lotta fantastic equations in all of this, but quite frankly, I'm still drunk on ham, and in no mood for more math.

Neither are you, I'm gonna guess, cuz guessing is the arch-enemy of arithmetic, and I never hung around with mathletes. I was on the debate team, which was really all about word problems, you know?

Sleater-Kinney: The Hot Rock: "Get Up" [mp3]

I dunno what a song about death/near death and a triumphant afterlife/re-awakening has to do with any of this, but it satisfies the pattern I got going here with Sleater-Kinney and the magical number 3, so I'm gonna go reheat some mashed potatoes, make a kong gravy, and get down to some Ted Nugent because I listened to Sleater-Kinney on my entire roundtrip to/from Mount Horeb yesterday, a trip I cannot and will not speak of, ever.

Strictly for commercial reasons.

I'm still drunk on ham (And troll mustard [don't ask]). Good morning.

Hotcha! Hank

Something 4 The Weekend # 3

Another Friday night, another Something 4 The Weekend, and tonight it's "Weekend Warrior" by Ted Nugent, and yeah, it's the third song in a row with "weekend" in the title, but this ain't gonna be a thing, ya dig...

Ted Nugent: "Weekend Warrior": 128k mp3

I was a huge Nuge fan back in my youth, especially the Double Live Gonzo album, and I was 12 when that LP came out...I gave up on Terrible Ted with the release of Intensities In Ten Cities in 1981, and so what's weird about all this is that by the age of 15, I had all the Nugent I was ever gonna need, and here we are, 25 years later, and those first seven albums are all I've ever needed, and damn if they don't hold up pretty well.

Once upon a time, way back around September of 1967, I would argue that Nugent was Jimi Hendrix's equal, and that would require an Amboy Dukes track or two streaming here at Hot Poop to prove my point, but quite frankly, I'm too tired for that right now...

Anyways, enjoy this roaring chug of a song from our favorite Motor City Madman, excepting Jack White (weeeeee!) of course...

Hotcha! Hank
