Back in the mid-aughts, I had a music blog for a year. Finding new (i.e. "fresh") music that I liked turned out to be a lot of work, so I stopped. Every so often I get the itch to write about music. But where? So I created this as a place to write as well as post my old blog entries.

Buckethead - Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains
Now that
Buckethead
is out of
Guns 'n Roses
you say you don't know how you're going to get your Buckethead fix?
Are you mad?
Buckethead, the first guitar god of the 21st century,
always has something going on...usually several things at the same time.
He just finished up a tour with
Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains,
which is basically 3/4 of
Praxis
(Buckethead,
Bernie Worrell
and Brain)
along with
Les Claypool,
in support of their recent release
The Big Eyeball in the Sky.
It's pretty much what you would expect from these guys
if you are familiar with them:
seriously offbeat tunes, exceptional musicianship,
and Les's Zappa-esque "singing".
Check out
Thai Noodles
and
Ignorance Is Bliss.
You can also buy recordings of the tour's shows from
C2B3Live.
If you want just Buckethead there is his latest album,
Cuckoo Clocks of Hell,
and you purchase a few of his live shows for download from
BucketheadsLiveWedges.com.
And if that isn't enough, you can
spend New Year's Eve watching him perform.
The man is busy, people!
So break out your yellow windbreaker and stock up at KFC.
If all else fails, it will make
a great
halloween costume.
