Battle of the Bands October 15th results

 

Many Thanks to everyone who stopped by to listen and cast a vote on my latest Battle of the Bands! Boris, the battle-winning spider song was written by John Entwistle, (of the iconic band, The Who) about one of his least-favorite things; spiders. As he so eloquently illustrated in the lyrics, the tragic demise of one such dreaded insect occurred beneath a (no doubt behemoth) book, which, incidentally, reminds me of myself ;-)  In fact those who know me also know that if they ever come to my house and see a book on the floor – for no apparent reason – there actually is a reason. But it might not be a spider. We have scorpions here in the desert…big ones.

If the song itself doesn’t raise those little hairs on the back of your neck, check out what Tom Waits had to say about “What’s He Building?”: In April 1999, when asked about this song by Mojo, Waits replied, "We seem to be compelled to perceive our neighbors through the keyhole. There's always someone in the neighborhood – the Boo Radley, the village idiot – and you see that he drives this yellow station wagon without a windshield, and he has chickens in the backyard and doesn't get home till 3 a.m., and he says he's from Florida but the license plate says Indiana... so, you know, 'I don't trust him.' It's really a disturbed creative process."  ~ Songfacts.com
