Ramsay Midwood @ Riverbend in Chattanooga 06-08-2003

Uncle Vernon has a tapeworm or he is just completely obsessed by his Nutro Complete Care Kitten Food (dry formula). Recently, he’s become over-affectionate at ridiculous hours of the morning (5am.), causing my girlfriend and I much consternation. Our attempts to remedy this behavior, including feeding them later in the evening, are not taking. Is it possible he has some sort of parasite that is feasting on his internal organs? Or, as many of my “friends” have already suggested, is he, simply, a “goddamn cat”?

Also, why do cat turds become cat toys after they’re rolled in litter? And would it be inappropriate, as a Halloween Prank, for me to take a poo in the litter box and let my girlfriend find it and, hopefully, be worried about the cats? No?


Today, we have a concert I recorded back in 2003 at the Riverbend Festival in Chattanooga. Ramsay Midwood, the eclectic Americana singer/songwriter, was touring in support of his excellent album “Shoot Out At the O.K. Chinese Restaurant.” I’m not sure Ramsay or his band expected the huge crowd that came to see them. Chattanooga’s local public radio affiliate, WUTC-FM, had been spinning the album for weeks and people seemed to really take to it.

This is a direct soundboard recording to DAT tape. The band is on point and Ramsay is in great spirits. Highlights include the “Shoot Out” stuff like “Monster Truck” and “Mohawk River.” The song “Monster Truck” is played twice because they ran out of material and us Chattanoogans just can’t enough of anything pertaining to big, over-sized, stupid trucks. My favorite songs, however, are “Jesus is #1” and “Prozac.” Ramsay is definitely an underrated songwriter/performer. Whatever happened to this guy anyway?

The Frogs -- San Francisco 5-19-03

Uncle Vernon LOVES the Frogs. Lucky for him, so do I. We decided today we would post a live Frogs show from 2003.

About the Frogs:

Two brothers (Jimmy & Dennis Flemion) began writing absurd songs about random, borderline disgusting, subject matter. Their albums “It’s only right an natural” and “My Daughter the Broad” are simply genius. Billy Corgan (of the Smashing Pumpkins) and Kurt Cobain (…some band I don’t recall) are/were fans of the Frogs. Is it offensive? Well…to some, yeah, it probably is. I find it hilarious. Let me know if you find it hilarious too.

This is a good-quality recording from 2003. The highlights include “Homos” “Where’s Jerry Lewis?” “Hot Cock Annie” and the opening cut “Starboy.” The whole set is a rollicking good time though.
