Songs About Fucking- GO ALL THE WAY



The Raspberries great 1972 hit (#5 on the Billboard Hot 100) was banned by the BBC due to it's sexually implicit lyrics. Awesome chunky chords and an almost chorus like intro by Eric Carman on the vox. As fantastic as the song is, (I almost) prefer the 2009 Matthew Sweet/Susanna Hoffs duet, in which Hoff's singing makes the song oh so hotter.




I never knew, never knew how complete love could be
Till she kissed me and said


“Baby, please, go all the way
It feels so right being with you, here, tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold ‘me close don’t ever let me go “

I couldn’t say what I wanted to say

Till she whispered “I love you so, please, go all the way”
It feels so right being with you, here, tonight
Please go all the way
Just hold me close
Don’t ever let me go

Before her love I was cruel and mean

I had a hole in the place where my heart should have been
But now I’ve changed and it feels so strange
I come alive when she does all those things to me

And she says, “Come on, come on, come on
I need you, I love you, I need you”

“Baby, please, go all the way

It feels so right being with you, here, tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold ‘me close don’t ever let me go “

All I Know Is That When Bush Was President...


I had a job. And now I don't. Can't wait to see what our leader says tonight. I wish he would just denounce all the Republicans and put them in detention camps. Those bastards fucked everything up and Obama's got to clean up their mess.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
post speech follow-up: Obama was terrific... funny, sarcastic, barbed, hopeful. He called the fuckers out for what they are: a bunch of partisan scumbags, personally ambitious, with nothing but their own political dogma to guide them. Unfortunately, it will fall on deaf ears in the corridors of power as well as the heartland.
We are doomed as a nation as we are too divided to get anything done.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's some power pop. You know why? Because it's bright and cheery... just like me.

ps- You know that whole story about Toyota recalling all of the Camry's they've sold in the last 4 years? Well, guess who just finished paying off their car loan for a Toyota Camry?

Power Pop!


Well, I'm back after a few days in Chicago on business. Lack of sleep due to long hours and a mild case of food poisoning have left it's mark.

But the heck with that!

For a special New Year's gift, I have compiled:

Bleedin Out's Power Pop record!

Yeah, they're mostly pretty obvious tunes, but hopefully they'll be somethin' on it that you don't have in digital format yet.

The ground rules were simple. One song per band and it hadda be a song that you can put on endless repeat... sorta like back in the day when you dropped 45's onto yer rekkid player. And it's a lucky 13 songs.

Hope you enjoy em! They're in one easy to download package.

The songs:

  1. The Records - Starry Eyes
  2. The Only Ones - Another Girl, Another Planet
  3. Superdrag - Sucked Out
  4. The Rubinoos - I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend
  5. Redd Kross - Lady In The Front Row
  6. The Raspberries - Go All The Way
  7. Ramones - Sheena Is A Punk Rocker
  8. The Plimsouls - A Million Miles Away
  9. Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend
  10. Material Issue - Valerie Loves Me
  11. The DB's- Black And White
  12. Cheap Trick - Surrender
  13. Big Star - In The Street
