a quick one about a Motorhead sound-alike single

Last month Wet Denim released a single called "Double Fister." The song combines the heavy hard rock of Motorhead with a little peak ear-worm glam-metal Poison. The vocal is raw, the playing is tight, and the song don't need nothin' but a good time. (That's a Poison reference.)

The sound is a picture of leather, amp buzz, and stacked empty beer cans. Traditional, hard, raw, and catchy. You might find that stack of beer cans in Indianapolis, Indiana, the band's last known location.

 

 

White Line Fever

Finished reading White Line Fever, Lemmy Kilmister's autobiography. I never worked Motorhead into my music collection but the book and musician's personality seemed promising. Too bad, because the prose is conversational but colorless, the stories, dull. Not to mention there were no themes, clever insights, or juicy gossip about other bands. The best autobiographies I've read to date include those by Larry Hagman and Miles Davis.

I've started the next book--Company by Max Barry. Early in that book the narrator says there is something wrong with you if you are a salesman. Lemmy wrote that there is something wrong with you if you play guitar. He, of course, plays bass.
