“I played a divorcee in New York City [Somewhere In Dallas],
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
The lady then she covered me with roses,
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind. “

“It’s quite possible that I’m your third man girl
But it’s a fact that I’m the seventh son
And right now you could care less about me
But soon enough you will care, by the time I’m done
Let’s have a ball and a biscuit sugar
And take our sweet little time about it”

When I was putting together my Sunday Blues post two weeks ago, I ran across The White Stripes’ version of Robert Johnson’s “Stop Breakin Down Blues”. Which in turn led me to his scorching cover of Son House’s “Death Letter“. Continuing on the Jack White discovery trail, I found tracks from his side project, The Upholsterers. It’s amazing what you find buried in your iTunes library.

The band was comprised of Jack White and Brian Muldoon. They released the three songs listed below on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label in 2000; they only pressed 100 copies. The recording is a little banged up, but definitely worth downloading. “Pain (Gimme Sympathy)” is my favorite track of the three.

Your organs working perfectly, but there’s a part that’s not screwed on.

Memo From Turner was recorded by the Rolling Stones on November 17, 1968. The song was released in 1975 on the Metamorphosis album. The version on the Performance movie soundtrack was recorded earlier by Mick and has slightly different lyrics.

My Top 10 Down and Dirty Stones Songs:
1.) Can’t You Hear Me Knocking
2.) Stray Cat Blues
3.) Slave
4.) Monkey Man
5.) Some Girls
6.) Emotional Rescue
7.) Cocksucker Blues
8.) Memo From Turner
9.) Live With Me
10.) Rocks Off

A perfect anthem for the City of Angels. The original version of the song was recorded in November & December of 1972 for the Goats Head Soup album. The Stones were forced to change the song’s title in the US to Star Star.

They were billed as the London Green Shoed Cowboys for the July 1978 tour. The last night of the tour was in Forth Worth, Texas.

This is a special show. The recording is from an FM broadcast of Radiohead’s first concert in Los Angeles @ The Whiskey in Hollywood. I think it’s great to hear these guys playing Rock ‘n’ Roll. Take a listen to “You” and the 1:44 & 3:32 marks on “Blow Out“, Johnny brings the pain. Speechless, Tommy Iommi & Jimmy Page would be proud. Only negative, “Your So Fucking Special” from “Creep” is edited for the radio broadcast.

Other Notes:
Played “Creep” for radio station KROQ [7.13.93]
Opened up for PJ Harvey @ The The Palladium [7.13.93]
Performed their first US televised performance on Arsenio Hall Show [7.14.93]
Performed two more shows in Los Angeles on [7.14.93] and [7.15.93], not sure where they played.
