KINGSWAY – Car Roof Style 

Greetings music fans.

To answer the question posed in the title: No, I will not be attending Lilith Fair (though I am tempted to put a wig on RC and see if we can sell some of his whiney folk to the X chromosoners). But alas, according to poor advance ticket sales it would appear as though no one is else is going to Lilith Fair either. That’s why I suggest Sarah Mac and company attempt to save the festival by expanding its market. I propose the Lilith and Larry Fair. Come on, Sarah. Lots of boys like wimpy music too. And have I got a group of bands to help fill your Vancouver bill. Give me a shout, honey cakes. I’m in the book.

Shine on you crazy diamonds.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS – Suzy’s Song
…
Greetings music fans.

Well, those little cabbie-beatin’, mullet-growing, puckbunny-blastin’ punks stole two from the favoured San Jose Sharks. I would say that’s karma finally catching up with Danny Heatley, but if you look at the rest of Wheels Heatley’s life it’s actually hard to believe karma even exists. Then again, I’ve been a douche bag for over 60 years and I am in a living hell, so maybe there is something to it after all.

Shine on you crazy diamonds.

THE MAD DASH – Requiem For Henry

Greetings music fans.

Not much to say today. Frankly, your Uncle Jon is finally starting to come down from all the fun he had in Las Vegas this past weekend. I am sitting here typing while the rain pours outside my window. The credit card company is calling about too many cash advances. The cell phone provider is calling about all my roaming fees. And my ex-wives are calling to see if I made any extra money at the craps tables so as to collect on some back-alimony. Meanwhile, a tear wells up in my eye while I long to be sipping a triple bloody mary while soaking in the sun and sights by the pool at the Hard Rock.  

It’s a textbook case of post-party blues. And that depression will soon turn to anger – anger at my whole DDG roster for not making me enough money so as to allow me to run this whole operation from a penthouse at Mandalay Bay. But if these kids keep pumping out artsy pieces like the one posted today, chances are the best I will ever be able to do is steer this ship from a patio level suite at a Super 8 in Reno. Goddamn. Where did I go wrong?

Shine on you crazy diamonds.

KINGSWAY – Whopper Jr.

Greetings music fans.

You’re Uncle Jon is back from another Vegas weekend. 

Tao. Hard Rock. Vanity. Spearmint Rhino. Pure.  A cabana at ReHab.  And a brush with bankruptcy (both financial and moral).

Now try to keep the noise down, music fans. I need to catch up on my sleep. Four hours of shut-eye over the course of four days is not healthy for a man my age. Neither is four grand worth of cocaine and ecstacy, but that’s a discussion for another day.

Shine on you crazy diamonds.

KINGSWAY & MOONCUSSERS
    Bag Of Batteries …

Greetings music fans.

It’s phone-it-in Fridays. Long distance style. From the Oriental Garden in Vegas. I just paid $10.50 for a Bud Lite Lime. Drugs must be kicking in.

Shine on you crazy diamonds.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS – Spring Flower …

Greetings music fans.

So you may have noticed your Uncle Jon installed a new plug-in (that’s computer jargon for ‘thing’) at the bottom of the page. It’s a player that will spin all the previous 40 DDG songs posted. Your own DDG top 40, if you will. And what better song to put at #1 first than The Great Outdoors’ Spring Flower. That song would have gone to number one if the music world would take its head out of its ass long enough to hear something other than bullshit fake-gangsta hip-hop, bullshit corporate bedhead indie, and bullshit plastic tits country. But I digress.

If you want to listen to all forty songs in another, uninterrupted window (like a juke box for your desktop) just click the icon right beside ‘streamline’ on the bottom right (fifth icon from the left). When you hover over that button it should say something like ‘pop this player into a new page’. Pop it. Like it’s hot, I suppose.

Enjoy the mp3 playa, playas.

Shine on you crazy diamonds.
