No Monkeys died. Today, it is reborn. After more than a year of inactivity, Rothko returns with a new blog. Hopefully, it will display more wits, smarts and maturity than the last - but that seems unlikely.
We'll be talking music, movies, and the law - probably lots of antitrust, probably lots of links to above the law, probably nothing more than you already know.
Welcome back. I'm happy to be with you again.
Top Songs of the Week
- Under Pressure - Queen/Bowie (Just before Queen & Bowie moved into irrelevancy they gave us a swan song so epic, it made even Vanilla Ice weep)
- Handshake Drugs (Live) - Wilco (Nils Cline is in full force, showing off the chops that appear so sparingly on Sky Blue Sky, he turns Tweedy's mid-tempo rocker into a foot-stomping feedback bonanza)
- God - John Lennon (Bitter, but rejuvinated, Lennon's classic statement of purpose in the post-beatles world shatters the rock star myth, and remains legendary)
- That's How Strong My Love Is - Bryan Ferry (Off of Ferrry's break-up album "bride stripped bare," "How Strong" sounds like a leftover from Siren (the then last great Roxy Music album) and moves w/ the bitterness of knowing that no matter how strong your love is - it's often not enough)
- Walk a Mile in My Shoes - Bryan Ferry (Fuck Ya! Ferry's Glam/Tramp cover of a Vegas-Era Elvis classic, stomps, rocks and wails w/ force and fun)
- Hate it Here - Wilco
- Got Yr. Cherry Bomb - Spoon
- Wrecking Ball - Interpol
- You are My Face - Wilco
- Band On the Run - Wings
