BLACKWELL'S RECORD OF THE WEEK + GIVEAWAY!
Scrapper Blackwell

Mr. Scrapper's Blues

Story time: back in 2001 my band the Dirtbombs made a trip to the Amoeba Records outpost in San Francisco. One of the higher-up employees there is a man named Tom Lynch, one of a long list of former bass players in the Dirtbombs.

Anyway, we were getting ready to roll out of the store and on to our next destination when Mick, the lead singer, hollers at me we gotta go in so many words. Tom overhears this and his mind is blown.

"Did you say 'lets go Scrapper?' As in, Scrapper Blackwell, the legendary blues singer from North Carolina?!?!?! Man, that is so cool, what a great reference. Your references are always so sick. What a cool band dynamic."

Mick clarifies "No. I said 'Let's go cracker.'"

So....post a comment here about something you misheard, that was better the way it was misheard. Post your comment by midnight central time May 1st. Best comment as discerned by me gets a copy of this Scrapper Blackwell LP. Can't go wrong.
