Better Off Dead (Elvis)

At the end there was a nuts with a zombie mask, dressed in white perfect Elvis-style, posing for pictures between the few dozen person of the audience, holding the hands of everyone.

This Week’s Mood – You’ve Made my Shitlist…

Shitlist (L7)

When I get mad
And I get pissed
I grab my pen
And I write out a list
Of all the people
That won’t be missed
You’ve made my shitlist

Hope I Die Before I Get Old

It’s hard to understand why, every new live music season in Roma seems to see a growth in the number of gigs by bands with more than 30 years of activity. For Goodness sake, they’re often giants, just the names put some deference in you, but you keep wondering how they could be after all [...]
