ROADHOUSE- 1989 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pain dont hurt!
James Dalton (Patrick Swayze) is the toughest little bounced in the business. Hes paid handsomely to clean up the Double Deuce bar and stop the roughhousing once and for all!
But first, he has to do a lot of roughhousing.
Very entertaining action movie. A few great punch ups. Light hearted but occasionally brutal. Terry Funk! Great music from Jeff Healey band. Very quotable, i used to funk guys like you in prison etc.... great film. R.I.P Swayze.
Remake expected to be released next year starring Jake Gyllenhaal.

Screener Squad: Road House ROAD HOUSE MOVIE REVIEW in 1989, a cult classic was born as a shirtless and oiled up Patrick Swayze sauntered into the Double Deuce as the legendary bouncer Dalton. It was only a matter of time before they made another one of these. So they did, in 2006, with Johnathon Schaech playing Dalton’s son. And because that was such a forgettable movie, they decided to make another one with a very cut and oiled up Jake Gyllenhaal in the title role. In this new instalment, Dalton is a disgraced former UFC fighter who’s hired to bounce at a Florida Keys… Read More »Screener Squad: Road House read more on One of Us

It's actually very funny. Every time Conor McGregor was on screen he was all but belting out 🎵Now I've had the time of my liiife🎵 - and damned if I wasn't singing along. It's very silly and, though the sound effects occasionally don't line up, impressively brutal, too. Light laughs and heavy hits; mindless fun!

Road House - Review (2024) | Jake Gyllenhaal, Daniela Melchior & Conor McGregor | Prime Video
Road House review by Big Gold Belt Media
–Synopsis:Road House stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Dalton, an ex-UFC fighter trying to escape his dark past and his penchant for violence, in this adrenaline-fueled actioner. Dalton is barely scraping by on the reputation that still precedes him when he is spotted by Frankie (Jessica Williams), owner of a roadhouse in the Florida Keys. She hires him to be her…

Jennifer Kelly’s 2023 in Review: Still Human FWIW
I finally saw Sun Ra Arkestra
I first heard about Chat GPT in January this year, and it sounded bad from the start. I make most of my living writing things for big faceless corporations who view me as a cost. Cut that cost to zero and I’m out of a job. But for the first five months of 2024, I continued to be busy and I thought, well maybe it’s nothing. Then in May, like a light switch, everything stopped. I had one regular client who continued to pay a monthly retainer. Nothing else. And the usual mailings, pleadings with old clients, etc. had no effect. I’m close to retirement age. This summer, I thought I had arrived early.
Things have picked up since then, and right now, I’m in a good place. People are starting to notice Chat GPT’s ignorance of anything post 2021, its refusal to factcheck or footnote and its relentless blandness. Clients are coming back, but the floor doesn’t feel very solid under my feet. It could all go away at any time. (This is the lesson we all learned from COVID-19…that you could fall into the pit any time.)
The one thing that didn’t stop was Dusted, and for that I am very grateful. As I’ll explain to anyone who asks, there’s never been any money in Dusted, so there can’t be any less. We are more or less immune to economic pressures. And as long as we’re here, there is lots and lots of good music to write about.
My year started with two records that blew me away in January (and maybe December 2022) and held #1 and #2 slots all year. They were Meg Baird’s Furling and Robert Forster’s the Candle and the Flame. Next, came an email from Rob from Sunburned with a link to Stella Kola’s extraordinary debut, and then gosh, Sub Pop still sends me promos and here’s one from Mudhoney! Every time 2024 succeeded in getting me down, I’d get music from someone.
Live music was another solace. Shows that made me happy this year included Warp Trio, Sunburned Hand of the Man, Dear Nora, Vieux Farka Toure, Bridget St. John with Stella Kola, Sun Ra Arkestra, Kid Millions with Sarah Bernstein, Faun Fables, Sweeping Promises, Daniel Higgs, Constant Smiles, Baba Commandant (RIP), Xylouris White, Joseph Allred with Ruth Garbus and Ryan Davis with his Roadhouse band. Special mention goes to the always astonishing Thing in the Spring with Editrix, Rough Francis, Thus Love, Gorilla Toss, Equipment Pointed Ankh. Susan Alcorn, Marisa Anderson and Jim White and Bill Callahan.
The best show of the year, however, came late in the summer with William Tyler and the Impossible Truth band, an unbelievably talented, seasoned crew with Luke Schneider on pedal steel, Third Man mainstay Jack Lawrence on bass and Brian Kotzgur on drums. The way they opened up and fired up Tyler’s songs was a revelation, even to someone, like me, who’s been a fan since Behold the Spirit. Garcia Peoples opened, and they were great, too.
I should mention that we have recently been blessed with a bunch of excellent music venues nearby—Nova Arts in Keene and Epsilon Spires and the Stone Church in Brattleboro. Going to music used to always mean driving back from at least Northampton, sometimes further, late at night, and, as I get older and my night vision fades, it has been really nice not to have to do that. (Also, to all my Dusted-reader-musician-friends, if you play one of these venues, thank you, and let me know when you’re coming.)
With that, it’s time to talk about 2023 favorites. I’ll write about the first ten and then just list the rest.
Meg Baird — Furling (Drag City)
Meg Baird’s gorgeous solo album alternates between ghostly, inward-looking piano songs and bright swirls of 1960s psychedelia. Her extraordinary voice, high, pure, and unearthly, joins lush, burnished guitar grooves. Sometimes I think I like the swaggering bounce of “Will You Follow Me Home,” the best, but other times, the disembodied otherness of “Ashes, Ashes” is the prettiest thing I know.
Robert Forster — The Candle and the Flame (Tapete)
Forster’s solo records are always good, wry and funny and stuttering with strummy punk energy, but this one, recorded with family while his wife battled cancer, is his best yet. “She’s a Fighter,” a group sing-along is prickly and defiant, the only song specifically written about Karin’s illness, but threads of enduring, life-long love run all through this album. “Tender Years” is especially moving, as Forster sings, “I’m in a story with her, I know I can’t live without her, I can’t imagine why,” in a voice cracked with sincerity and feeling. Very few albums make me cry, but this one does.
Anohni and the Johnsons—My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross (Secretly Canadian)
The sound on Anohni’s fifth album with the Johnsons smolders in the pocket, its textures a nod to Marvin Gaye’s classic What’s Going On? It’s velvety smooth but taut with urgency, as the artist contemplates climate disaster and personal struggles. “It Must Change,” trills with the coolest falsetto, while “Sliver of Ice” reverberates with a low, hushed passion. Every song lands a punch, soft when it happens but ringing for days in your ears.
The Drin — Today My Friend You Drunk the Venom (Feel It)
“Venom” lurches and blurts, bass thumping, drums clashing, monotone vocals drenched in menace. It’s a punk song distilled to essence, a world in itself, a short, brutal blast that is also somehow psychedelically expansive. The Fall, the Swell Maps and Adrian Sherwood haunt this disc in various places, but the Drin is its own mysterious thing.
Wreckless Eric — Leisureland (Tapete)
“Get yourself a one-way ticket for the merry-go-round,” sings the Bard of Hull on the last and most exhilarating song from his ninth full-length. That’s “Drag Time,” with its indelible hook, its enveloping harmonies, its hint of Amy Rigby in the chorus. Let’s just go way out on a limb here and say it’s as good, maybe better, than “Whole Wide World.”
En Attendant Ana — Principia (Trouble in Mind)
Good lord, was Trouble in Mind on a roll this year or what? I could put Melanas or Tubs here, with FACS not far behind, but instead, let us contemplate the light-and-dark wonder of “Black Morning,” with its giddy counterpoints, its bright, sustaining trumpet, its boppy beat and its underpinning, somehow, of shadowy melancholy. Or the skanky bass that kicks off “Same Old Story,” in a prickly way, the lone element of dissonance that gives a daydream teeth.
Stella Kola—S-T (Self-Release)
Everybody who’s anybody in W. Mass alt.folk does a turn on this magical LP—centered around Beverly Ketch and Rob Thomas but including PG Six, Wednesday Knudson, Jeremy Pisani, Willy Lane and Jen Gelineau. Despite the expansiveness of the ensemble, these songs are feather light and lucid, like Pentangle sprinkled with magic dust.
Mudhoney — Plastic Eternity (Sub Pop)
Psychedelic overload meets raw punk and potty humor in this 12th album from the grunge godfathers. I like the sheer rush and swirl of cuts like “Almost Everything” and “Souvenir of my Trip” best, but bare, belligerent “Flush the Fascists” is grade-A too, and how can anyone resist Mark Arm paying tribute to his best bud on “Little Dogs.”
Beirut — Hadsel (Pompeii)
youtube
Hadsel is surprisingly cheery for an album recorded on a remote Norwegian island in the dead of winter, with swoony harmonies and counterpoints, intricate synthesized beats and blares of an antique pipe organ. “We had so many plans,” Zach Condon sings, both mourning and subtly sending up his cohort’s response to the COVID pandemic, but this remarkably pretty album seems more like a happy accident.
The Feelies—Some Kinda Love (Bar None)
What a total pleasure it is when one jangly, drone-y, indie rock phenomenon pays tribute to the wellspring. In this case, it’s the Feelies covering many of the Velvet Underground’s best known songs at a live show in 2018 where everyone had a blast. Now you can, too.
More albums that I loved in the order that I thought of them.
Iron & Wine—Who Can See Forever Soundtrack (Sub Pop)
Melanas—Ahora (Trouble in Mind)
Sleaford Mods — UK Grim (Domino)
The Tubs — Dead Meat (Trouble in Mind)
Sky Furrows—Reflect and Oppose (Feeding Tube/Cardinal Fuzz)
Lonnie Holley — Oh Me Oh My (Jagjaguwar)
Yo La Tengo—This Stupid World (Matador)
The Toads—In the Wilderness (Upset the Rhythm)
Dan Melchior—Welcome to Redacted City (Midnight Cruiser)
James and the Giants—S-T (Kill Rock Stars)
Ben Chasny and Rick Tomlinson—Waves (VOIX)
Bonnie Prince Billy—Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You (Drag City)
CLASS—If You’ve Got Nothing (Feel It)
The Clientele—I’m Not There Anymore (Merge)
Devendra Banhart—Flying Wig (Mexican Summer)
Kristin Hersh—Clear Pond Road (FIRE)
Sally Anne Morgan—Carrying (Thrill Jockey)
FACS—Still Life in Decay (Trouble in Mind)
Setting—Shone a Rainbow Light On (Paradise of Bachelors)
Airto Moreira & Flora Purim—A Celebration (BBE)
Sweeping Promises—Good Living Is Coming For You (Feel It)
James Waudby—On the Ballast Miles (East Riding Acoustic)
Emergency Group—Venal Twin (Centripetal Force)
Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band—Sing Dancing on the Edge (Sophomore Lounge)
Tyvek—Overground (Gingko)
Wurld Series—The Giant’s Lawn (Melted Ice Cream)
Various Artists—STOP MVP (War Hen)

11/8/23.
I've been a fan of Sophomore Lounge for years. From Bill Direen to Huevos, Ryan Davis' label (originally in Louisville, now in Jeffersonville, Indiana) has been releasing diverse sounds for going on 20 years.
It seems appropriate that the label's breakout release would feature Davis (also in State Champion) himself under the name Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band. Pitchfork reviewed it on November 3rd and gave it an impressive 7.9. This LP brings to mind Wilco, The Jayhawks, Son Volt and The Silos. One of the fans who bought this wrote, "David Berman was right when he called Ryan our [Louisville's] best living lyricist."
Joan Shelley is a guest vocalist. Check out her split single with Myriam Gendron on No Quarter.

Guitar Overdrive Pedal Shootout: BOSS Blues Driver BD-2 Review
The 6th and final chapter of my Guitar Overdrive Pedal Shootout series.
Before we start, a recap of the situation so far……
After being spoilt with fantastic overdriven amps in the past, (Marshalls, Oranges, and last but not least my Cornford Roadhouse 30 combo), I decided to simplify my setup, and instead of using the OD channel of my amp and its FX loop for delays, etc, I decided to purchase…

So I just watched the new Sonic Drone Home short on YouTube, and, well, two thoughts popped into my head while I was watching it...
One of them was, "aww, this is so cute and wholesome", and the other one was "oh fuck, that reminds me... I still haven't finished writing my Sonic Movie 2 review yet..."

What Ruined Shadow: The Downfall of an Amazing Character
Introduction
Greetings, mortals! Today, I will be analyzing Shadow's peak characterization in the Adventure/Dark Era and the steady decline in the Meta Era.
During this analysis, I will explain how Shadow went from being a likeable, well written and relatable character in the 2000's, to a truly detestable character in the 2010's.
I will focus mainly on Shadow's characterization in the games, since I haven't watched the animated Sonic shows in a long time (I will make it a point to rewatch them all eventually though), and my knowledge of the comics is limited at best, but from what I've read of the comics, Pre-Reboot Archie Shadow's characterization is really good, Reboot Archie Shadow is just as much of a piece of shit as the Boom/Pontaff version of the character is, and IDW Shadow, while he's not exactly as bad as he is in Reboot-Archie/Meta Era/Boom, I still hate how stupid he can be sometimes, and that really showed in the Zombot arc.
I haven't watched Sonic X in a long time, but from what I remember, Shadow's portrayal in the show was similar to that of his game counterpart. As for Boom Shadow... I'll explain my stance on him later.
Anyway, let us begin! ^^
Shadow's Four Game Arc
Shadow is the only character in the Sonic series I know of whose character arc happened over the course of four games, starting with SA2 and ending in 06.
In SA2, Shadow believes he is destined to exact revenge on humanity for killing his best friend, Maria, but then the memory of Maria's true wish (to protect humanity) made him realize the error of his ways, so he sacrifices himself to save humanity from the ARK falling towards Earth.

My #1 post of 2022
Here's some interesting things I found out about Sonic Prime's voice cast:
• Tails is voiced by Ashleigh Ball, who you may recognize as the voice of Rainbow Dash and Applejack from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
• Amy is voiced by Shannon Chan Kent, who made a brief cameo as the Roadhouse Waitress in the first Sonic movie
• Dr. Eggman is voiced by Brian Drummond, who voiced Knuckles in Sonic Underground back in 1999
• Shadow and Big share the same voice actor (Ian Hanlin)

“It’s pod people, Susie… and it’s too late to run!”
Plunger have looked on the 1950s with the same low regard people used to have for the 70s (…then the 80s, and probably the 90s now) - the fashions, hairstyles, cars and particularly the music got short shrift at Plunger Towers. So the last time we heard any 50s music was probably on a Saturday morning screening of Teenagers From Outer Space or similar. Which may seem a bit irrelevant in a concert review of the delectable Whitney Rose but bear with us, there is a point to it all.
Whitney’s last two albums (2017’s Rule 62 and her most recent, We Still Go To Rodeos) take an eclectic run at country, mixing in 60s Stax soul, 70s West Coast, and even some 80s garage band flavours, and indeed these were all on display last time Plunger saw Whitney at The Lexington. Her show at The Water Rats had a much more straight-down-the-line 50s country feel, heightened by the three-piece band backing her: looking and sounding like a Texan dive houseband from a Rockford Files or Magnum P.I., Noel McKay guitar, Brad Fordham bass and Lisa Pankratz drums (and fantastic harmony and backing vocals on occasion from one, two or all three) added a down home urgency and swing to much of the proceedings, including the doo-wop post-break-up ballad of Better To My Baby, Wake Me In Wyoming’s walking-horse-paced cowboy country and the Tex-Mex-spiced 'song about songs’ Three-Minute Love Affair, all featuring great lower register twang from Noel’s guitar and heartbreaking harmony vocals.
Ever-busy drums and a melodic chordal solo lent a Nashville gloss to the mellow Gram/Ronstadt mood of Believe Me, Angela contrasting nicely with the head-bobbing groove and elastic guitar hook of The Devil Borrowed My Boots, with its midbreak switch to a near-disco 4/4 and fantastic swooping three-part vocals (particularly the a cappella close!) while You Don’t Scare Me set a plaintive bobby sox chorus against a slinky latinate shimmer verse with cymbal and tom-rich drumming, fluid bass and a neat bass and guitar unison finale, and there were more Borderland touches in the bustling country two-step Arizona. Peak “country with a capital C” came (suitably modernised) in I Don’t Want Half (I Just Want Out) a divorce song that’s musically the heir to Tammy Wynette but light years apart in spirit, delivered with playful vitriol over an echt Nashville bounce and sweet harmonies; and in the tight shit-kicking beat and R’n’R sevenths of Time To Cry, with Whitney’s high Tennessee twang reaching a stirring top range plus two very Scotty Mooreish outings for Noel.
Noel’s own Open All Night was one of a handful of covers, again delivered on the night with a more muscular roadhouse edge than on record- a low-down Eddie Cochran groove with killer harmonies and a fine lead vocal from Noel himself. Other covers were Brennen Leigh’s relaxed dreamy longing-for-pre-digital-times, Analog, with Whitney doing her best teen starlet croon, while her honeyed delivery was perfect for a heartfelt Linda-style take on Tom Petty’s Walls (Circus), but there was plenty of oomph in her go-to party piece Lesley Gore’s You Don’t Own Me (dedicated to Pride week), building from sulky teen recalcitrance up through the key changes to an impassioned belt.
Unsurprisingly with the enforced lag between We Still Go To Rodeos release and being able to tour it, there is already another album in the pipeline (what else are you going to do in lockdown?) and we heard three songs from it: sadly unintroduced, they included a bouncy Blanket On The Ground-ish lope with chicken-picking guitar (possibly I Built My Own Jail) a line-dancing two-step (You’ll Get Along?) and a Nancy Sinatra-meets-Burt Bacharach easy-listening number.
A couple of songs from We Still Go To Rodeos broke the 50s spell, retaining their album character: Better Man’s twist-a-go-go beat and surftastic guitar burst nudged us into 60s territory and the thrashy garage band teen rebellion angst of In A Rut kept us there, with its tom-heavy beat, wild flaring solo and shout along chorus, ending the set.
After a brief hiatus (“I had a very important glass of orange juice to attend to… I wish I was cooler and that was a lie”) we were treated to the highly appropriate stay-true-to-your-country-heritage anthem My Boots, and a rollicking closing encore of the Everly’s When Will I Be Loved (à la Linda Ronstadt’s version) to close a cracking night of sweet and sweaty country goodness.
And the pod people? Yep, they caught Plunger bopping at the hop: we’re fully assimilated now and loving every chrome tail-finned, boot-lace tied, yee-haw minute…
