C&L's Late Night Music Club with The Brought Low

Title: God Damn, God Bless

Chris Rock famously quipped,"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is a Chinese guy, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are name 'Bush,' 'Dick' and 'Colon.' Need I say more?" He should've added that the best Southern rock band is from Queens, NY, not exactly Alabama. The Brought Low's three excellent albums seamlessly bridge the gap between Skynyrd and Queens of the Stone Age. If you see that they're playing at a dive bar near you, bring five dollars for cheap beer and some earplugs. They're loud and they're great.

and their BP parody video (performed by Steve Goodie) is brilliant.

Thanks, luw!

another generational anecdote -
driving/riding in the car, listening to They Might Be Giants, i hear this song and say "i know that song! ... JESSICA!" , and he says "NO!" - as in, 'you CAN'T know my songs', ya know?
but i pulled out my old album when we got home and there it was! ... he likes TMBG version better, natch!
it's fun though, knowing the influence that MY music had, HAS, on theirs...

was THE album ...(and my guitar teacher) when it was cool (and I was 14 ...)

am i just showing my age, and possibly ignorance, when i tell my son, 30 now, a fan from beginning, that i hear the Beatles? ... beatle-esque?... beatle influence? i've always wondered if and what others here thought about that...

i'm definitely a beatles fan, beatles music lover... when i first heard radiohead early on, i heard the beatles...
and enjoyed it... we are a musical family - i dont play myself, but my parents and children (ha! 30 & 25) do, so there's lots of tastes and genres involved, mostly enjoyable!

LNMC is a good educational resource also... expanding my universe...

it's more like reliving my youth! ha!
g'nite, kids! enjoyed it!

Remember when they sold "Best of" LPs on TV? The ABBA ad said they were the best-selling musical act EVAH. It's referential humor.

Writer/director/actor (in the role of Michael McDonald) J(oseph) D(aniel) Ryznar, aka Superbaby, that is!

Ben and Max play Goodmen Hall and Oates. Ben is the one with the speaking role (Oates, I think).

My Aunt Kitty was so proud of the boys. The creativity comes from the O'Toole/Dion genes.

...JD says Steve's a pretty nice guy. Kind of a nerd. I don't think they know smarmy in Big Rapids (which is where Ferris State U is located, and where they shot that episode, when JD and Steve were back in MI for, iirc, Thanksgiving).

I love the intro (episode 5?) when he says, iirc, "Hi, I'm "Hollywood" Steve! You've just caught me disposing of the body of a hooker!"

It's just that when I think of the Eagles, the scene from The Big Lebowski pops into my head. It wasn't meant as a slam.

Did you post something about how great that Brought Low song is?

maurofelipe76's picture

Used to see them all the time when I lived in NYC. Played with them a few times too. Top notch band and great guys. Cool to see them posted here!

bpollen's picture

Good song, seems like a good band, but they would have to personally deliver an autographed copy before I could justify spending $99 for ***one*** CD....
