Thank God it's Friday, I've had a shit week and need to unwind and today's song of the day is the perfect song to do it.

Any Queens of the Stone Age fans here? I really, really like Josh Homme's music, I think he's great. Before he formed QOTSA, Josh did a band called Kyuss. I loved 'em, and sometimes think they were better than QOTSA.

Today's song therefore: KYUSS -- "Gardenia"

This is a really good live performance. They got their excellent low-end, boomy sound by playing their guitars through large bass amps. Check out the weird instrumental part in the middle.. freaky.



One blow till I take ya down, I'll take ya down
One spoke and your head spins around and around
Chrome mags, a million drags, a never lags,
And a transform queen momma you've never seen

Hear a purrin' motor
and she's a burnin' fuel
Push it over baby
oh makin' love unto you

Power booster, I'm talkin' to God and more
Crank it up and above my head
Smell my shit-eatin' grin on the skids of my world
Six hundred sixty six miles per hour

Hear a purrin' motor
and she's a burnin' fuel
Push it over baby
oh makin' love.....

Hear a purrin' motor
and she's a burnin' fuel
oh baby burnin'
Push it over baby
oh makin' love unto you
makin' love to you

get back, get back a rolling
get back, get back a rolling
get back, get back a rolling
get back, get back the motherfucker
get back, get back a rolling
get back, get back the motherfucker
get back, get back the motherfucker


MARVELLOUS. Get back the motherfucker.

Fuckin' 'ell I've just watched this again myself and what a GREAT band they were. Superb.

Yeh, I love their stuff too, although I'm mellowing out a bit and like Mark Lanegan's solo stuff now.
