U.T.F.O., Roxanne Roxanne, 1985

StreetCarnage has a great Mike Muir radio session/interview where the Suicidal Tendencies’ frontman plays a solid variety of tracks and does some storytelling (including a funny one about actor Bill Paxton towards the end). Remembering how I’d literally listen to these guys as I’d go to bed each night, there is something so oddly calming about this…

(Note on the image choice, though the “Join the Army” cover is a close contender for classic album art, I think this one  for “Feel Like Shit/Deja Vu” was always my favorite Suicidal cover, also fitting that this specific release is twenty years old this year)

Anyone know where I can see one in person?

In their book Tossed & Found, one of the things that Linda and John Meyers explain is how they found and in turn created this fantastic chess set using an old type tray, risers, and both cases of letters.  The results are incredible and inspirational for those who like to do things themselves.  Have a look at their blog for more and definitely pick up the book.
