Lars Fredrickson as Santa

There are probably people who look less like Santa Claus than Lars Frederiksen, but they don't come to mind immediately. A guitarist and vocalist for the punk band Rancid, Frederiksen battled through some hardscrabble years growing up near San Jose, then worked his way through rock 'n' roll hell.

"I'm lucky I'm not dead," Frederiksen said. "I struggled with drug and alcohol addictions and I was homeless for a period of time."

So what was he doing handing out free skateboards to teenagers at the new 10th and Mission Family Housing Apartments on Monday afternoon? It begins with a friendship with San Francisco's homeless policy director, Dariush Kayhan, who invited him to attend Project Homeless Connect this month.

"It was emotional," said Frederiksen, who says he was reminded of his mother's struggles as a single parent. "But I was thinking that when people donate toys, it is always the teenagers that get left out. That's when I got Tony Hawk on the phone."

Rancid played for Hawk's wedding - not the reception, the actual wedding - and Hawk helped to donate skateboards for some of the teens in the family shelter.

"You never forget where you came from," Frederiksen said. "I remember eating Raisin Bran for Christmas dinner. But some of these kids have it a lot worse than I ever did."

What is the story behind a little 7" slab of vinyl selling for 10 thousand dollars you say?

The seller states "What makes this particular copy SO special is that it is one of a limited number that were handed to long-serving A&M executives as a golden handshake when Polygram closed their London A&M office in 1998."

Record collectors are such geeks....

Here's the Sex Pistols original video





And Motorhead's great cover released in 2000





And finally a parody done by Second City TV - yes, that is Martin Short singing lead and John Candy as the drummer.......The band is named the Queenhaters and the song is "I Hate the Bloody Queen"

The Dropkick Murphys performance of The Dirty Glass on Jimmy Kimmel live is above.

Stephanie Dougherty is the guest vocalist on the song.

The original version of the song on the Dropkick Murphy's VS. Face to Face split CD released in 2002 has Kay Hanley from Letters to Cleo as the female foil to Al Barr.

I've read that on the Dropkick Murphy's tour earlier this year Liza Graves from Civet (one of the opening bands) handled the female vocalist parts.

Let's review - Kay Hanley, Stephanie Dougherty, Liza Graves - well the DK's have great taste in .... heartfelt vocal performances.

The Dirty Glass Lyrics

Murphy, Murphy, darling dear
I long for you now night and day
Your pain was my pleasure, your sorrow my joy
I feel now I've lost you to health and good cheer
Darcy, when I met you I was five years too young
A boy beyond his age, or so I'd tell someone
Anyone who'd listen and a few who couldn't care
Still I welcomed you with open arms, my love I did share

[Chorus]

Replacements Banned from Saturday Night Live 1986

What a mess
Uploaded by mmr421. - Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more.

The video above is from the January 18th, 1986 Saturday Night Live episode.
This is the first Replacements performance of the night. They had just finished up the Tim album and Sire got them a spot on SNL. The host that night was Harry Dean Stanton who had roles in Paris, Texas and Repo Man in the past few years and his performance in Pretty in Pink would be released in a few weeks. The Mats look pretty good in this perfomance, but legend has it they hit the champagne pretty hard before the next performance of the night.


That's where we're riding
Uploaded by mmr421. - Watch more music videos, in HD!


Bob is wearing Paul's wife's jumpsuit and the other 3 are wearing each other's clothes. Paul is adlibbing the lyrics and Bob becomes a hero by hitting that last note perfectly at about the 3 minute mark. Just after that the ending segment is shown and you can see the hobbled together cast that SNL had that year (Jon Lovitz, Dennis Miller, Randy Quaid, Robert Downey, Jr, Joan Cusack, Anthony Michael Hall and Damnon Wayans) The Mats performance was definately the highlight of that season.

Cash at Folsom Prison

Found a great article about Johnny Cash's famous Folsom Prison Concert:

Cash

An excerpt:

Gene Beley was a 28-year-old reporter with the Ventura Star-Free Press when he and the newspaper's chief photographer, Dan Poush, were invited to accompany Cash to Folsom Prison. Cash was living in the Ventura area at the time.

Beley, now 69 and living in Stockton, returned to the prison a few months ago to participate in a BBC radio documentary marking the 40th anniversary of the concert.

"I took a picture along to give Jim Brown as a gift, and he freaked out," Beley said in a telephone interview, describing Brown's excitement upon learning of the photo collection.

Beley, who also recorded the concert on a reel-to-reel tape recorder for reporting purposes, said he had no idea it would prove to be a historic event.

"At the time," he recalled, "John was really on the skids."

Stories in the hometown paper were more often about Cash's brushes with the law – smuggling pills across the Mexican border or driving his Cadillac at high speeds – than about his musical talent, Beley said.

But a meeting between Poush and the Rev. Floyd Gressett at a New Year's Eve party led to an invitation for the photographer and reporter to accompany Cash to Folsom Prison for the Jan. 13 concert. Gressett, a friend of Cash's who ministered to California inmates, had worked with the prison's recreation director, Lloyd Kelley, to set up the concert.

Beley was with Cash's party in a room at West Sacramento's El Rancho Hotel the night before the concert when Gressett asked Cash to listen to a tape recording by Folsom Prison inmate Glen Sherley.

"John said, 'Has anybody got a tape recorder?' " recalled Beley, "and I raised my hand."

Cash leaned over the tape recorder and wrote down the words to Sherley's composition, "Greystone Chapel," which tells of the solace the inmate found in the chapel at Folsom Prison. Cash performed it the following day, and Poush photographed Sherley listening in the audience.

Big Star - When My Baby's Beside Me

Another great post on Derek's Daily 45 about the 7" above:

http://dereksdaily45.blogspot.com/2009/11/big-star-when-my-babys-beside-me.html

I have a beat up copy of that 45 that plays great on the Seeburg R Jukebox - they built them right back in '54 with a dampning circuit that smooths out those scratches and pops.

As Derek says, "In The Street" is the B-side, making the 45 a great 2 sider.

John Peel's Record Box

English DJ John Peel passed away in 2004 and about a year later his private stash of 45's was uncovered and a BBC documentary was made about the box. Here's a clip from it

Royal Mail to introduce classic British album cover stamps



Stamps are about to get cool when the Royal Mail introduces its classic British album cover stamp range.

Set for launch in early 2010, it's a set of 10 first class stamps designed by Studio Dempsey, covering albums from the 60s to the present day - The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Mike Oldfield, The Clash, New Order, Blur, Primal Scream, Pink Floyd and Coldplay. So something for everyone - even fans of dull, middle of the road, modern-day rock.



How did they decide on these? Apparently by asking music journos and graphic designers. Why they missed The Beatles and opted for Coldplay (or why they opted for Division Bell ahead of at least five other classic Floyd sleeves) isn't clear, but if you can deal with those oversights, you can pick up a set from January 7th 2010.

Originally on Retro To Go

Lovin the London Calling stamp - gotta get me one

Pixies on Conan

The Pixies appeared on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien” last Friday to perform the closest thing the band ever had to a pop hit, Doolittle’s “Here Comes Your Man.” Get a load of the sheer size of the Minotaur box set that Conan holds up in the intro!

The Replacements Bookshelf

There is a great thread over on the the forums at the Man Without Ties website titled "The PW / Mats Library Shelf" and I'm gonna plagirize it.

Here are my top 5 selections:

1) The Replacements - All Over But The Shouting - an Oral History by Jim Walsh

Great snippets of Mats lore

2) The Second Greatest Story Ever Told by Gorman Bechard

Fictional account of the daughter of God - and she's a Replacements fan - go figure

3) Our Band Could Be Your Life - Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981 - 1991 by Michael Azzerad

The Mats influence Nirvana? - who wouldda guessed

4) 31 Songs by Nick Hornby

An homage to Westerberg's "Born for Me" encompasses chapter 12

5) Let it Be by Colin Meloy (in the 33 1/3 series)

Great book, not a huge fan of the author's band

Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White

Here's a link to a great Garage track from the Standell's, later covered by Minor Threat:

http://dereksdaily45.blogspot.com/2009/10/standells-sometimes-good-guys-dont-wear.html

The song's writer, Edward Cobb, also wrote Dirty Water, the Standell's classic and Tainted Love, later covered by Soft Cell.

Cutting Wax at Ardent Studios

Who are these guys and what are they doing?

The answers would be 1) the engineering dudes behind the New Rhino Handmade Chris Bell CD and 2) cutting the master for the 7" reproduction of Chris Bell's 1977 single "I Am The Cosmos"

Find out more at

http://soundwave.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=877856

The original single goes for upwards of $100.

The new Rhino CD with the 7" repro goes for around $40

Spectacle

"When the first season of your critically acclaimed Sundance Channel series managed to attract both Bill Clinton and Lou Reed as guests, it’s hard to imagine topping that in season two. And yet, it looks like the new round of Spectacle: Elvis Costello with… shows is going to very high-wattage indeed. This year’s marquee names are two of the biggest in rock: Bruce Springsteen and Bono. And the rest of the line-up is nothing to sneeze at either, including Sheryl Crow, Lyle Lovett, John Prine, Ron Sexsmith, Neko Case, Jesse Winchester, Ray LaMontagne, Nick Lowe, Levon Helm, Richard Thompson, and Allen Toussaint. Each episode features both interviews and performances, pairing Costello with his guests. The new season premieres December 9."

Looks like Elvis is back. Nick Lowe? Ok I gotta watch this one.
