Some Open Windows And A Little Volume Please

Well, the weather this week has been really nice (up the Albany way in New York) and consistently so, which is even nicer, and has made the ride homes from work an open windowed joy (no, I don’t understand any of you I see in traffic with their windows up tight right now, and no, you have no justification for it so don’t even bother).

But nice weather and open windowed rides deserve tunes and tunes with some volume. So, I decided to put the Silencers, who I have been listening to exclusively for months and months now on hold (not that they can’t be played loud mind you) but instead go with something more deserving of loud.

Searching my tattered box of CD’s on the passenger side floor of Lilly the Car I came upon just the one and a one decidedly old school and of old friends.

I broke out Deep Purple “Machine Head” and Rainbow’s “Long Live Rock and Roll” from the vintage Dio days (a best of both that would fit on one burned CD).

Yep, the weather this week has been really nice and REALLY loud (added bonus of the loud is that it helps drown out, even temporarily, the noisy cacophony of stupid and the loud cluster fuck of dumb filling our days at the moment).

“Machine Head” also features my favorite Deep Purple tune “Lazy” (apologies to anyone around me in traffic who may have been concerned for my head hopping, shoulder shuffling, song singin’ well being. “Mommy, is that man in the car next to us alright?”)

I was fine.

Rock on all. No, seriously, rock on.
