Mojo Nixon "Otis" (1990) RELOADED 07/28/12

HA......in a few words......ROCK N' ROLL FUN!!!!!!!

Every time I pull this CD out and play it, I get a kick out of it. I mean, check out the song titles!! It reminds me that rock n' roll should be FUN!!! This is one thing sadly missing from the scene today. Well it's been lacking for some time now. At least in the 80's there was some fun to be had in certain circles.

I really just posted this one for anyone who remembers him from back in the day. Hope it brings a smile to your face. And anyone else wanting some piss and vinegar in their fun - give this a spin!

OK.....what can I say about this guy that hasn't been said before? If you know him - ya likely dig him!

And he doesn't disappoint here.

Hothouse Flowers - Live In-store appearance Sept. 1988

Hothouse Flowers live at HMV Square One - Mississauga, Ontario Sept. 1988

I believe HMV had only been open a short time (week or 2?) and it was announced that Hothouse Flowers would do a live in-store appearance there. This store was modeled after their success HMV stores in the UK - many of which had small stages and hosted live appearances on a regular basis. I didn't know much about Hothouse Flowers at the time, other than that they were from Ireland and were getting some good press. I think I had seen a video, that might have been it. But I figured I'd check it out anyway - something new & exciting (or at least I hoped at the time....).

Well I was not disappointed! It sure was quite a change to see a band play live in a music store. They seemed to be enjoying themselves, and the crowd seemed to dig it too. I got their CD "People" soon afterwards and began a big fan of theirs. I saw them a few months later in a club setting and it was a great night too. I remember getting a great pic of me & my friend Sandy with two of the members - still have it hanging in my hallway here! A big thrill back then.....

Anyhow, this was a purely acoustic set (as was the in-store custom). Sound quality is excellent on this (direct from soundboard). I would give it a 10/10! Songs played are as follows:

1) Kansas City

2) Mountains

3) Hallelujah Jordan

4) Willie

5) Big Fat Heart

6) It'll Be Easier In The Morning

Listening to it today brought back some great memories of the times (ahh.....the 80's!!). 

Anyhow....check it out:
