I know I've posted this one before; but life is about to imitate art.
See you in an hour or so with everything --- EXCEPT what's on list.
It's not a shopping trip....it's an adventure.
I may have posted this before your last shopping trip: over 30 years ago I was on a seismic crew and, like most seismic crews, they were a bunch of animals. One day, one of the guys ate 7 or 8 grams of mushrooms in the morning. As the trip started, the last thing I heard him say was "this isn't work, this is an adventure", before he disappeared into the thick bush for 8 or 10 hours.

So for whatever reason this video demanded of me that I learn a little more about these guys... a quick Google later and I was shocked to find out that not only did they achieve a fair amount a noteriety in the early 90s, but they're from my neck of the woods as well! Genuinely surprised I'd never heard of them before. And they has some interesting gigs post Extreme as well! The lead singer actually sang for Van Halen for a short stint after Sammy left, and they're reunion tour was actually put on hiatus so their guitarist could tour with... Rihanna! Not what I expected....
Of course their biggest hit in the US was a shitty acoustic ballad while their glam metal songs did better overseas... apparently their huge in Jakarta...
Can't say they'll make my regular play lists but that was an enjoyable "behind the music" investigation

I smashed their debut album hard back in the 90s . I really rated some of their music . As can happen I liked the songs that weren’t the commercial appeal tunes but more the edgy attitude songs they belted out . Its a shame they didn’t punch out more albums
That's funny, I don't know any of their stuff, but recognize the name of the singer and the guitarist. The singer I guess from post-Van Hagar, but no idea why I recognize the name Nuno Bettencourt.
Edit: I have heard More Than Words, that's likely why I never sought their other stuff.

They definitely pumped out some decent energy in that typical glam rock era . Gotta love the 90s for the video clips alone .
Not my typical listen, but I was jamming on hairband nation during my commute into work on Sirius radio and it came on. Great speeding music ?

For some. But for me, I love ketchup, so I was almost on board before I hit play. Then I hit play. Later, I hit it some more.

"The Ketchup Song" is about a young man named Diego who enters a nightclub. The DJ, a friend of Diego's, plays Diego's favorite song, "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang, and Diego dances and sings along to the song, imitating its chorus with Spanish gibberish.[5]
"Aserejé" is therefore a meaningless word,[5] with the chorus "Aserejé, ja, de je, de jebe tu de jebere ..." being a somewhat incorrect imitation of the Rapper's Delight's "I said a hip-hop, the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop ..."[6]
Well ... how did I miss that??
