The Doors

The Doors will be among a few other artists including the Grateful Dead to be recognized in the Lifetime Achievement category during this years Grammy’s. I wonder what Jim would have to say about that? (he would more than likely love it and show up at the show drunk off his ass)

The Bloody Hollies

The Bloody Hollies newest disc, “Who to Trust, Who to Kill, Who to Love” out on Alive Records is blistering. I could stop there and that would sum it up for this review but I couldn’t stop without telling you how raw yet refined these guys come across. Guitars that makes your guts twist, vocals that will make your brain tighten, drums and bass that push and pull your toes as the music hits your existence.

“Mona” starts off where “Watch your head” from the bands prior album “If footmen tire you” left off. Damn I like ALL the songs on this disc. Very diverse throughout but it always remains ROCK. I’ve only listened to this cd twice but you will surely here more from us here at MusicFilter as it will get lots more playtime here at the Punk Rock House.

If you don’t know who the Bloody Hollies are or have never heard them check out “Satanic Satellite” from the new disc over at Alive Records. Trust me when I say you should really just go here and buy this disc and their other one while your at it and enjoy some awesome ROCK! These guys embody no frills ROCK.

Evel Knievel sues Kanye

Evel Knievel has sued rapper Kanye West — over a cheesy jumpsuit and a rocket-propelled Skycycle. In a lawsuit filed Monday in Federal Court in Florida, the daredevil claims that Kanye infringed on his trademark name and likeness in West’s video for “Touch the Sky.” In the video, West portrays a character named “Evel Kanyevel” who attempts to jump a large canyon, not unlike Knievel’s famous 1974 jump of Snake River Canyon in Idaho, which was not successful. Knievel argues that the white jumpsuit he wore for the stunt and the “Skycycle” that he used are trademarked. Knievel also claims in the suit that “vulgar and offensive” images depicted in the video damage his reputation.
