Dum Dum

The Dum Dum Girls are an American band that was formed in 2008.  They just recently popped onto my radar and I have to say that I’m entranced at this point.  Their new album, Too True, was released earlier this year and it is a really solid effort.  Here are two of my favorite songs from the album.  See what you think.

Rimbaud Eyes

Are You OK

Wondering where the group’s name came from?  I’m betting it has something to do with the Iggy Pop song Dum Dum Boys….let’s listen and you can make up your own mind…..

 

RIP – Scott Asheton

Scott and IggyWe lost Scott Asheton, the drummer for Iggy Pop and the Stooges, today.  He was 64 years old.  Scott’s brother Ron, the Stooges guitarist, had preceded him in death passing away in 2009.  Here is what Iggy had to say about Scott:

Scott was a great artist, I have never heard anyone play the drums with more meaning than Scott Asheton. He was like my brother. He and Ron have left a huge legacy to the world.

If by some chance you aren’t familiar with the Stooges check out the following video recorded in 2010 over 40 years after their start in the late 1960s.  Neither Iggy nor the band had lost any of their power across the years, and as you will see, their fans are just as devoted as they were in 1969!

Scott, you will be missed…..RIP my friend!

A message to readers of my blog.  I know that my lack of recent posts has probably left some of you wondering what’s going on.  Don’t give up on me or the blog……I will be back with more great stuff in the coming months!
