Dementia - The Band

A week or so ago I emailed posts from my last two shows I attended, W.A.S.P. and Ace Frehley, to an old friend of mine from high school.  I had a few drinks and was missing my old heavy metal buddy.  You see, he lives in another state now, and is married with 3 kids.  We haven't been close in quite a while, but we always seem to touch base once or twice a year anyway.  We had a short exchange the other day, so I was thinking of him while surfing bands on youtube.

Back in the late 80's and early 90's he was in a band - before the digital era.  Even so, I entered the name of his old band, Dementia, to see what I could find*.  After all, there are old videotapes that someone may have converted to share.  I used to be able to find their 1991 CD, 'Recuperate from Reality,' on Amazon (for like 50-60$!), I haven't checked in a while, though.  I was hoping to see something live on the youtube, but here's all I found.  Still, I doubt he knows it's there, until I forward him this post!  I hope it makes him smile!

Dementia - 1991 - Say Your Prayers


*There are a couple of other bands with the same name, so if you look I guess you'd have to know it when you see it.

The Show 'Pets'!

The puppet series "Pets" finally has its own website,  PetsComedy.com.  Absolutely hilarious! Absolutely for adults!



I'll be doing overtime this week, so blogging may be light.  All the snow is gone from the yard now.  This spring promises to be a busy one!

Edit 5/19: Added Video

Clutch

Clutch is a band that I first heard of about a year ago.  I liked what I heard, but didn't really investigate them.  Since then I've seen them mentioned here or there, another video or two.  They will be in Madison in early April and I don't know if I'm curious to see them or not.  I've looked at a few live vids from February and I'll listen to their latest album online to check them out more.  First impressions, they have a powerful lead singer, videos and live, but I think they lack on guitar, especially live.  I might like them more if they had a second guitar player, better guitar player, or just turned it up a little.  I've seen the lead singer play guitar on some, that might help.  Hmm, I enjoy this kind of research, now I shall go check them a little closer...

This is the first video that I saw a while ago:  Clutch - '50,000 Unstoppable Watts'


Edit:  Here's the same song live from last month in Australia.  Maybe I was too harsh earlier on the guitar sound, we'll see.  I'm still looking...

Boobies and Kittens

When I saw this I just had to re-post it.  I think Joanne posted this for me to share with Delcatto.   Okay, maybe not, but that's what I want to think.  Anyway, I enjoyed the hell out of this:



Edit:  This video would be bigger, but I would have had to sign in to Youtube (it was flagged for content).  I used to have an account but can't find or get into it and this wasn't a big enough reason to tackle that right now.  Maybe I'll work it out one of these days...

Robot Snow Plow

The robot snow plow!  I want one for next year!  Just make it with a control like a remote control car (easy), or else automated better than that Roomba vacuum.  Where do I sign up?
