Rock and Fucking Roll



Hi! Remember me? The token rock kid at drunk and focused...? No? Rock 'n' Roll Alphabet...? Nothing? Well, either way, I'm back from my long hiatus. Now that I'm going to have more free time, (I'm about to be a college grad, yay) you're going to be hearing from me way more often. You know what that means!?! Drunk and Focused isn't just for rap music anymore!
You see, Perv alerted me to the woeful lack of rock 'n' roll on this site and suggested that I take steps to remedy this situation. A suggestion I readily accepted.
Now, unless you talk to me on AIM or you're stalking me, you probably wouldn't know that I change my profile weekly to include a tear-ass rock 'n' roll song (it's not necessarily always rock 'n' roll, but being the token rock kid at Drunk and Focused, I'm contractually obligated to refer to rock 'n' roll at least 15 times per article) that I'm currently digging. So, Beat Pervert suggested that I share this weekly golden nugget of kick-ass with everyone who visits. At first, I called him crazy. "It'll never work" I said. But then he chased me with knives and I said, "ok."* So, I figured I'd post my weekly song, give a little band history and why you should worship at their altar of rock 'n' roll, and, as an added bonus, rant about any random thing that happens to be chapping my ass.
So, let us begin the first installment of what shall be henceforth known as....."The Weekly Handjob"!

This week : The Soft Boys - Leppo and the Jooves
Fuck yeah! The Soft Boys (who took part of The Soft Machine's name for theirs) were a fabtastic post-punk/psych-rock revival/weirdo band from the late 70's/early 80's. That's them up top! Robyn Hitchcock was the main guy in this band....and that should mean a whole hell of a lot to you because he's a fucking genius. Imagine this.....early Pink Floyd (the GOOD kind, with Syd at the helm) writing songs with Wire and Gang of Four while The Beatles sing some harmonies over top. Yeah....how could that get any better? A: It can't.

*Note: That never happened....or it did, and Pat doesn't want me to tell anyone.
