    I'm a little teapot, short and stout
    Here is my handle, here is my spout
    When I get all steamed up hear me shout:
    Tip me over and pour me out


By drpy on Monday, April 15, 2002 - 01:59 am:

    smoke a little tea (pot), till your all out
    don't you worry, don't you pout
    and when you wanna get high, give me a shout -
    we'll smoke a little tea (pot), till we're all out

    I got the shaking fears on Friday night.

    Hey Semillama and Drrooppyy and Skooter (if you're around):

    What do you call this kind of music? (Mule/PW Long). It's Southern in origin (yes, I know Long is from Michigan), kind of blues-influenced, makes me think of Jerry Lee Lewis in terms of attitude.....so is there a name for this?


By semillama on Wednesday, May 1, 2002 - 12:44 pm:

    Not that I am aware of, but I might call it "Porch
    Rock" since it sounds like the stuff one might
    come up with while sitting on a front porch,
    with your Les Paul or SG plugged into a little
    30w amp, and a tumbler of whiskey on the
    rocks at your side, on a still August evening.


By Spider on Wednesday, May 1, 2002 - 12:56 pm:

    Yeah!

    Porch Rock. I like it.


By Skooter on Wednesday, May 1, 2002 - 05:54 pm:

    Well, the MULE that I have (Wrung)...sounds
    like a crazy preacher man going on and on
    about how much he likes sex.

    Southern Baptist Hogwaller Fucking Music?


By Spider on Thursday, May 2, 2002 - 08:32 am:

    Ah, Wrung. "Ass" kills me each time I hear it. But....in that song, isn't he trying to avoid a woman?

    "Do I have a girlfriend? No....YES! OOooooooohhhhh..."

    Or something like that.

    I love that man. I had a dream about him once. I think it was actually Jesus in the dream, but He was in the form of Preston Long.


By Spider on Thursday, May 2, 2002 - 09:48 am:

    Ah, yes.

    What I didn't mention was the supernatural stillness and peace he had about him in the dream. I kinda doubt he's like that in real life.

    *sigh*


By Spider on Thursday, May 2, 2002 - 09:50 am:

    Sorry, it's about 40% of the way down the thread.

    Like you care. Anyway.


By agatha on Thursday, May 2, 2002 - 12:34 pm:

    wow. i can't believe i blatantly invited myself to spend new year's eve with cyst. that was bold.

    i rarely if ever remember my dreams.


By semillama on Thursday, May 2, 2002 - 01:50 pm:

    That was out of left field.

    How is Cyst, by the by?


By Spider on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 12:21 pm:

    I just realized I completely misunderstood that Mule song -- "Ass." He's not trying to avoid a woman. A woman is coming onto him, and for a second he forgets he has a girlfriend, and then remembers and is afraid he'll get in trouble. That's what "Do I have a girlfriend? No....YES!!" is all about.

    I think. I should listen to it again.

    I wish PW Long was still around. Is he? I don't know -- I haven't heard of any activity on his part of late. I so love that "porch rock" sound -- it's totally back country, white trash, drinking and fighting and screwing and dancing music. MAN, it's good.

    A great interview with Mr. Long

    He even touches on the inability to describe his music. "I would define it as the definitive definition of indefinite indefinities and all its subsets. It is the summation of its own limits. It is jungle-passion music absent of all refinement and accomplishment. In a word, it is crooked."

    Amen.


    God, I hope he starts recording soon. He used to live in Philadelphia, back when I was in college -- if I had just been a little older I could have seen him play at the pub he hung out at all the time. ARGH.
