I just want to share some Clutch. :)

Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
Lobsterbacks attack the town again
Wrap all my things in aluminum
Beams of darkness streak across the sky
Pink rays from the ancient satellite

Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me
Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me
The power of the Holy Ghost

Shadow of the New Praetorian
Tipping Cows in fields Elysian
Saturnalia for all you have
The seven habits of the highly infected calf

Swan diving off the tongues of crippled giants
International Business Machine
Choking on bits of fallen bread crumbs
Oh, this burning beard, I have come undone
It's just as I've feared. I have, I have come undone

Bugger bugger bugger dumb the last of academe
Occam's razor makes the cutting clean
Shaven like a banker, lilac vegetal
Break the glass ceiling and the golden parachute on down

The power of the Holy Ghost comes to town
Shadow of the New Praetorian
Tipping cows in fields Elysian
Saturnalia for all you have
The seven habits of the highly infected calf

Clutch is a good band.

Saturnalia for all you have - and their vocalist is not a dumb person.

ESCAPE FROM THE PRISON PLANET


Then against my better judgment I went walking out that door.
I smiled at one person then I nodded to three more.
One man asked me for a dollar, I asked him, "What's it for?"
He said, "I have seen them." I said, "O.K., it's yours."
And as featured on the MTV, the local high school lets out,
And the town becomes anarchy.
Parties are crashed, skid marks are measured.
The story's in the paper, you may read it at your leisure.
Get out.
Eject.
Escape From the Prison Planet.
Get out.
Eject.
Escape From the Prison Planet.
And to the tune of a billion dollars, I supplied to the D.O.E.
Some tasty little nuggets of alien technology.
And as one might expect, I've been harassed for years.
The Men In Black have been bending my ear.
As a matter of fact, they were just here today,
But I escaped them through a secret passageway.
Once I lived there for one thousand days.
Get out.
Eject.
Escape From the Prison Planet.
Get out.
Eject.
Escape From the Prison Planet.
I have plans for the future, guess they're futuristic plans.
Move out west and buy some desert lands.
Maybe up North, just past Alaska.
You know nothing of this if they ask you.
Red Rover, Red Rover, Bob Lazar's coming over.
So honey clear the airstrip and light up that stove.
By Jove, I think it's started. Oh yeah,
Escape From the Prison Planet.
Billion people harvest on Mars.
Rebuild the remnants of the obelisk,
One mile from the pyramid.
Escape From the Planet of the Apes.
Go forth, ad infinitum.
Return the relics to the Elephant.
And Atlantis rises.
Get out.
Eject.
Escape From the Prison Planet.
Ejector seat ignite.
Billion people harvest on Mars.
Rebuild the remnants of the obelisk,
One mile from the pyramid.
Escape From the Planet of the Apes.
Go forth, ad infinitum.
Return the relics to the Elephant.
And Atlantis rises.

50,000 unstoppable watts


Airstreams tethered together like silver sleeping oxen
All the best locations are located on the margins
Suited for telescoping the interstellar scene
It's a mean killer in the daylight, but that's life for you and me
It's a reliable source of information.
Fifty thousand unstoppable watts.

Anthrax, ham radio, and liquor.

What if I told you they been lying
About that double wide with water rights?
And now the town cars are back again!
They sold you some old line
About the greater good and sacrifice
Your friends from Langley are back again!
It's a reliable source of information
Fifty thousand unstoppable watts.

Anthrax, ham radio, and liquor.
Coming at you live!

It's just some people can only see the stars
In the reflection from big black cars.
It's a reliable source of information
Fifty thousand unstoppable watts.

Dodge Swinger 1973, Galaxy 500,
All the way stars' green, gotta go.
Dodge Swinger 1973, top down, chassis low,
Panel dim, light drive, Jesus on the dashboard.
T-minus whenever it feels right, Galaxy 500.
Planets align, a king is born.
Whenever it feels right
Whenever it feels right
Whenever it feels right

Dodge Swinger 1973, FLAPS down, chassis free,
Buzz Aldrin, Armstrong, or maybe just me.
Don't worry, he's coming.
Don't worry, she's coming.
Jesus on the dashboard. oh! yeah!
Whenever it feels right
Whenever it feels right
Whenever it feels right yeah! yeah!! yeah!!!
I turn on the radio.
Hey kid, are you going my way?
Hop in, we'll have ourselves a field day.
We'll find us some spacegrass,
Lay low, watch the universe expand.
Skyway, permanent Saturday.
by the way, Saturn is my rotary.
Hop in, it'll be eternity
Till we make it to M83.
Once around the Sun, cruising, climbing.
Jupiter cyclops winks at me, yeah, he knows who's driving.
Hit neutral in the tail of a comet.
Let the vortex pull my weight.
Push the seat back a little lower.
Watch light bend in the blower.
Planets align.
A king is born.
Dodge Swinger.
Jesus on the dashboard. oh yeah!
Whenever it feels right
Whenever it feels right
Whenever it feels right
yeah yeah! yeah yeah! yeah yeah!
i turn on the radio!

Clutch used to play fairly often at a club I worked sound at since we were only 100 miles away from their home base.
The afterparties were pretty outrageous, particularly the one where they played with Gwar.
Anti-seen and weedeater are very old bands now and maybe not stoner rock but definitely great live bands.

I could only imagine GWAR... live. Ive seen them and listened to them way back when they first came on he scene.. but never a live show! I started digging up old junk for the oldest daugthter... ancient suicidal tendencies and clutch. Hopefully it makes her brain smoke and she turns from the teeny bop crap.
BTW, lucky you with the ability to see shows live due to your employment I looked up antiseen and weedeater.. and will be listening to them with the husband later.. on a proper sound system down in the fam room. He already knew who they were and looked at me like I was stupid when I asked if he has ever heard of them.

Just for yucks (don;t spew drink on your monitor when you watch it) here's a band that I worked with a few years back, (BEWARE: POP MUSIC) www.conshafter.com...
The video on the main page is Alley katz the club I was talking about. I started playing bass for these guys around 2001 - they asked me to join after seeing me in a Zappa cover band (!?). I was 40+ and they were fresh out of college, barely drinking age. Though I love really heavy music and more progressive stuff they were really fun guys to hang out with so I figured wth, I'm kind of the godfather of the band. Anyhow you might notice my replacement on bass (I'm way cuter than Sarah! lol). They've done really well for themselves and worked very hard getting stuff on MTV and making college radio charts consistently. They got to work with keith Shockley who produced Public enemy, They never quite made the transition to the big stage though not for lack of effort. They're still dear friends and it's sad to see them finally letting it go (no more recording or touring)
Here's from the last album I did with them -
itunes.apple.com...
Heavy metal parking lot , Love song hypocritical and Joey Ramone are 3 of the songs I helped write - a bit harder than most of their songs so you might enjoy them, you can listen to bits for free there.
A little embarrassing but thought I'd share anyway,
Cheers,
ATA

Listen to the words on Maturity - they were written about me.
