    I love him and I'm jonsing hard for some new material. I googled to see what he's been doing lately and search yielded this live album from 2017 that I'm gonna listen to now while I make a bomb fucking grilled cheese sandwich to eat while watching the new Rudy Ray Moore movie on Netflix with Eddie Murphy that I bet will rock ass adequately at a minimum.

    Enjoy!!!

    I do not believe you. Yet the internet seems to confirm that what you say is true. Isn't Rudy dead? Wtf, mate?

    Elite fact: the first time I met Paves, Sausage, and Big(g?) Dogg irl was at a free Reigning Sound show at the Bottle in early 2011.  It was a night to remember, let me tell you.

    Impressions of that Cartwright joint: good stuff. Just Greg with his electric guitar. Pretty mellow. Didn’t finish the album cause food was up and movie ready to roll. So far:
    - it exists
    - Eddie looks to be in fine form
    - Hey, Snoop Dogg!
    - Hey, Craig Robinson!
    - This Soundtrack is gonna be sick

    So true. I'm less confused, now. Didn't realize it was a biopic. I thought it was literally a new Dolemite movie starring Murphy as Dolemite as somehow directed from beyond the grave by Rudolph himself. Dolemite Makes America Black Again or something.

    I was just thinking about Greg the past few days. Twenty years ago, he was the greatest, most prolific guy. Between 1999 and 2002, with the end of the Obivians, the reformation of the Compulsive Gamblers, that Tip Tops a stint in the Deadly Snakes, and the beginning of the Reigning Sound, he put out eight high high quality albums. And he kept going strong for four or five years after.
    In the past ten years, he's done two full lengths, arguably the weakest of his career. So maybe he just doesn't have it in him anymore.

    This is basically just a James Hurley original and it is even more perfect than that sounds:

    4 midwest dates with the original Memphis 4 piece line up coming up in March. I saw this configuration many many years ago backing up Greg and Jack as the Compulsive Gamblers then busting out a bunch of numbers from Time Bomb High School. I'll probably go.

    I've started the project of logging all my records into discogs.  So far, it's been enjoyable and an educational experience.  For instance, I've found that a great number of my 1970s major label records are specifically Terre Haute pressings.  Makes sense, since with a very small handful of exceptions, they were purchased on the Chicago-area used market. I've known for a while that several records I once owned are no longer in my collection due to mysterious circumstances, most likely stolen back in my rocknroll party-guy roommate-having days.  
    Just today, I completed the 'C' section of my LP shelf, and the most distressing blank spot so far (missing Alice Cooper records being easily obtainable, and relatively cheap) is that my Crystal Gazing, Luck Amazing is gone, and a replacement is way out of my price range.

    Damn dude, that sucks. I remember a bit over a decade ago (damn, time fucking flies) that record was nowhere to be found and I actually emailed the owner of sympathy for the record industry and he had some copies for sale. Ended up shelling out a good chunk of cash, but wasn't like p diddy money or anything. Not seeing anything on the internets these days for under $100.

    Just yesterday I was doing my every-other-month obligatory google search to see if Greg had been up to anything lately.

    Reigning Sound just announced a new album will be released soon. They dropped a single for it as well.

    New album was good, if a little on the lite side. No "Reptile Style"s, but more in the "You're Not as Pretty" vein.
    There is a new live album out, that I haven't heard yet, but will probably buy if and when I see it.
    Greg just announced that the European tour is cancelled (cuz COVID) and the band is done.

    Which, with Oblivians still playing occasional concerts and the Compulsive Gamblers playing Gonerfest, the band THAT done.

    Yeah, saw that. End of an era. Seemed like he was happy that they came full circle and got the original lineup back together for one more album. Hoping he keeps writing and recording stuff, honestly don’t care much what moniker it falls under. Close the book on an all time band, fingers crossed for more from an all time dude.

    Jack O and The Tennessee Tearjerkers album, "The Disco Outlaw."

    God damn.

    Like sure Greg is top five all time but shit man how underrated is Jack?

    "Make Your Mind Up" is basically a crappy Springsteen ripoff made timeless and classic due to the grittiness and the enthusiasm and the full on commitment to the feelz of the whole damn thing shit, music that ain't Jonathan Richman rarely gets this real.

    Sorry for that sentence im drunk.
