Sunday: Baroness - Take My Bones Away

     In an effort to catch up after the last couple of days of lagging behind I'm taking inspiration from wherever it comes, so please forgive the following tenuous reasoning for featuring what really is a cool tune.

     We went to a local rib festival yesterday to sample a variety of barbecued meats, which immediately suggest to me a song with a meaty riff. But meaty riffs are pretty plentiful if you look for them, so we need a different rib-related them. How about bones?

     By the magic of that explanation, I present to you your Sunday song, "Take My Bones Away", from the Yellow disc of Baroness' 2012 double album, which has the benefit of being both a "boney" and having some meaty riffage. As new album news rolls in from one band or another, I can't help but hope John Baizley and company are close to being in a place where they can record again after their very scary August 2012 bus crash.

Sunday: Baroness - Jake Leg

     Today's band is one that isn't working on new material, as far as I know, but oh how I would like them to be.

     Indeed, Baroness are likely still in the midst of getting a pair of new members acclimated to the world and way of life that is Baroness, and as such new material might not even be on the horizon for Baizley and the boys. While we debate which colour album will be next, I guess we'll just have to be content with the colour spectrum we've already got.

     "Jake Leg", a driving and relentless number, is one of my favourite tracks from 2009's Blue Record, so let's listen to it while we pray to the metal gods that new, heavy Baroness material is closer than we think.

Song of the Day: Baroness - The Birthing

     If you follow any metal news at all, and certainly if you're a fan of the band, you probably already know that two of the dudes from Baroness have left the band. Bass player Matt Maggioni and, most lamentably, drummer Allen Blickle have amicably parted ways with the band, delivering Baroness another blow following last year's serious bus crash. Frontman John Baizley has said that the band will continue, but chances are it'll be a bit before we hear anything like new Baroness material.
