As some of you know the not so gentle gentleman, myth, and legendary singer and ringleader of the World/Inferno Friendship Society, Mr. Jack Terricloth has Stage-dived off our World. He was proselytizer of; overdoing everything, befriending the friendless, general anarchy, and creating one’s-self despite, hell – in direct opposition to, what the world expects of you. And he certainly broke the mold when he made him. There will never be another like him.
But fear not, this is not to be a Jack Terricloth memorial show, for we have other things to do and celebrate. For I am Rev. your perfect example of… a bad example. And this is Aurally Fixated, my love-letter to you, and boy do I have some interesting vibrations for your aural canals, So welcome to Rev’s Day.

Be began with Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko welcoming us to the Midwest. After that we had Dean Martin urging us to Sway. Then, from Rain Dogs we Clapped Hands with Tom Waits. Moving on from there we heard the late, great SixO, from a compilation of free songs Fake Four Records gave away over it’s first Five years of its Freecember promotion. That song too was called Clap Hands. And we ended with Emily Autumn’s brilliant tune Thank God I’m Pretty, off her splendid Opheliac album. Now for a little different, equally valid, and more fun kinda of pretty.

From an amazing box set compilation from Chess Records that was Muddy Waters talking about the Young Fashioned Ways. And immediately presiding that, wading into those muddy waters, we heard from Samü or Sammus depending on her mood, sharing with us memories of her Childhood. From her album Pieces In Space. Jumping back to the track before that we had the now, unfortunately missing in action Doctor Phoineas Waldolf Steel and his robot army with Childhood (Don’t) A Go-Go. That was from his second album, Dr. Steel II: Eclectic Boogaloo. And before that we were graced with Gogol Bordello explaining why I would Never Wanna Be Young Again. From Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike. And we kicked that set off with the title track from the Jerk Of All Trades, by that lovely bunch of Minstrels the Lunachicks.

We sparked that seyes off with A Piece Of Strange from the CunninLynguists called Hellfire. After which we were graced with the in-comparable Etta James suggesting Let’s Burn Down The Cornfield. Then Hank Williams answered that by Settin’ the Woods On Fire! and from those ashes came The Toadies with I Burn. And lastly, from The Natural Born Killers Soundtrack, we had Nine Inch Nails with a tune called Burn. Now, can I relate to Mr. Reznor wanting to burn the whole world down? I think Billie Holiday may’ve said it best, Ain’t Nobody’s Business If I Do.

Art is supposed to be challenging, yes, even for you! Or so obviously believes The Bloody Beetroots. That was WARP 1.9. And right before that was Dead Kennedys preaching about the Life Sentence, the verdict we’re “supposed to” bare down on ourselves. Before that we strapped on the Black Mission Goggles Man Man pulled our of their Six Demon Bag. And visited St. James Infirmary with the Bridge City Sinners. And then some more Krizz Kaliko telling us about his Bipolar
