On My Own

Tumbling Dice

What could be better than drinking some wine, smoking a cigarette and listening to a great album on vinyl?

Proper Mates

Down in the Hole

Dance With Me

"Doom and Gloom"- The Rolling Stones
Sleaze at its best. Jagger still works the stage and Keith uses his guitar like a machine gun.

It's just a shot away...

Ummm... you should really watch this
"Gimme Shelter"- The Rolling Stones

The enchantment

I've read the book Up and Down with the Rolling Stones by Tony Sanchez many, many times. There is this one segment of the book where Tony writes about the club he created, along with the help of the Stones, that is crafted like a Moroccan palace, and these photos are what I imagine the club to look like.I can just see The Stones chilling in this place on cushions, opium smoke filling the air...

"On July 26, 1968, Mick Jagger flew from Los Angeles to London for a birthday party thrown in his honor at a hip new Moroccan-style bar called the Vesuvio Club—“one of the best clubs London has ever seen,” remembered proprietor Tony Sanchez. Under black lights and beautiful tapestries, some of London’s trendiest models, artists, and pop singers lounged on huge cushions and took pulls from Turkish hookahs, while a decorative, helium-filled dirigible floated aimlessly about the room. As a special treat, Mick brought along an advance pressing of the Stones’ forthcoming album, Beggars Banquet, to play over the club’s speakers. Just as the crowd was “leaping around” and celebrating the record—which would soon win accolades as the best Stones album to date—Paul McCartney strolled in, and passed Sanchez a copy of the forthcoming Beatles single “Hey Jude/Revolution,” which had never before been heard by anyone outside of Abbey Road Studios. Sanchez recalled how the “slow, thundering buildup of ‘Hey Jude’ shook the club”; the crowd demanded that the seven-minute song be played again and again. Finally, the club’s disc jockey played the flip side, and everyone heard “John Lennon’s nasal voice pumping out ‘Revolution.’” “When it was over,” Sanchez 
said, “Mick looked peeved. The Beatles had upstaged him.”

Under My Wheels

March Playlist:

The playlist this month is inspired by three things:

-One part Metal Evolution. The VH1 documentry series hosted by Sam Dunn. In particular the Thrash episode (which I have watched over 10 times this month).

-One part 90's grunge.

-One part movement. The feeling of driving down the road. Whether it's about crashing motorcycles through walls, driving down the inner state, or the flow of water, this playlist captures the movement of life. Perfect for a drive down the highway at breakneck speed.

Under My Thumb

"Under My Thumb"- Streetheart

I'm not one for covers, especially Rolling Stone covers, but this song blows me away.

And Streetheart is already legit thanks to their Canadian queues.

Do It Right

"Bitch"- The Rolling Stones from Ladies and Gentlemen

Flying Flags

"Soul Survivor"- The Rolling Stones

One of my fav. Stones tracks. A hidden gem.

You are Yesterday's Child

Yes, I am indeed yesterday's child. It's a little too hard to live in the present day.

I prefer the peace and love of the 60's, and the decadence of the 70's.

Give me the Guess Who and Stones any day and I will be a happy girl.

Present day life moves to fast. Sometimes I would like to press rewind

turn my face into the sun and take a Polaroid.

Time would last much longer this way.

So it's the beginning of August and yet again I am preparing for another move.

My new place is a hipsters paradise and I am very excited to see how kitschy and eclectic my roommate and I can make it.

I suspect Sticky Fingers will be spinning on repeat and

our shop clothing will be strew all over.

I look forward to September. My favourite month of them all!

Golden Stone

The dashing Golden Stone.

At first I thought Brian Jones was just a bloated drug addict when

I saw him on Rock and Roll Circus,

but slowly over time he has grown on me and I have learned

to embrace his style.

He was the most glam Stone, wearing velvet smoking jackets, scarves, and fur coats.

He was the first to charm Anita Pallenberg and that shows

that he must have had intense style.

The golden stone could of had the world, but he lost it all.
