Climax Blues Band - Couldnt Get It Right [totp2]

last night i randomly ran into my good friend trevor at 22nd and walnut five minutes after leaving chris smith a message. we decided to hang out, then we randomly saw chris smith on the highway and gave him the finger. he asked us if we wanted to go see beowulf and we said hell no. later trevor and i realized that me chris and him consistently try to convince each other that our specific musical tastes are not terrible. chris in his focus on the 1960's into the seventies hippy shit, me and 1970's disco into 1980's gay and mall music and trevor with his 1990's rap into music from five years ago.

chris smith sent me the following along with this video today, i thought i should share:

the only logical conclusion (short term) i can think of at this very moment for my musical progression is to go here:
i feel this way about a lot of things. but i love professional music. and i love it even more when the creators are a bunch of weird looking dudes who spent too many years previous to the spotlight doing session work. i like this even more more when it went down in LA and that's where they are coming from bother in terms of emotion and showbiz. the emotion of showbiz via LA is very strong, very creepy and very deep. when the dudes from the rear with the gear step up and lay it out, there is a serious expression. take a look at warren zevon, terry melcher and dennis wilson as examples. boz scaggs. john simon. so many pros w/ so much to say.
xo,
coots.

recently i was reading up on seymour stein of sire records and discovered that this song was one of the first hits for sire. so is this proto-new wave?
