SOUNDTRACK: JACKYL-“The Lumberjack” (1992).
Does anyone remember this band? Their gimmick was that the lead singer performed a chainsaw solo. As I cut down trees that fell in my yard I kept thinking about this band, although I couldn’t remember any of their songs (which is just as well). I had to Google this one.
It’s a stupid gimmick, but a hard one to forget. My favorite coincidence to this song was when my friend Garry and I went to a party on a New Year’s Eve in like 1999 or so and the party house had a framed gold album of the debut album on the wall. I never found out why.
Oh, and holy cow, they are STILL putting albums out!
Here’s the song in all of its nonsensicality:
Incidentally, if you don’t wear ear coverings when using a chainsaw, your ears will ring for about an hour after cutting down trees.
[EXPERIENCED: October 29, 2012] Hurricane Sandy
I considered live blogging the hurricane. It would have gone like this:
October 29: 1-7PM: Wind picking up, not too much rain.
October 29: 8:15PM: Lights flickered and went out.
November 2: power restored.
November 5: Internet restored.
Gripping, eh? (more…)
