THE REVIEW

The Ciobar is over.

The 70s diamond sweaters too.

The soft jazz by the fireplace as well.

But the good season is starting.
March 21 is near, don't get caught unprepared.

If the cold has frozen your desire to have fun, if you've put the guitar in the basement and now relax with the dolphin songs from a new-age CD, if you're already thinking of starting a family and retiring to the valley of the gardens to make spelt and chickpea soups for your grandchildren, this is the CD for you.

You're still young, always remember that.

Open up the car roof; if it's a sedan, use the grinder. Rip your sweater, or give it to your grandpa, and put on a nice Hawaiian shirt. Sell the new-age CDs, and indulge in some carefree, fun rock n roll; this is the CD for you.

Look at the cover, what does it inspire in you?
Tell the truth: you think you still have plenty of youth to burn. Who cares about the mortgage, the station wagon payment, the project you have to deliver in a month but are still deciding on the paper format, the bracelet you have to give to your woman for March 8? Mexico is closer than you think; this is the CD for you.
Let rock n roll show you the way, get caught up in the distorted riffs and the wa-wa, the walls of fuzz, and the drum bursts. Pure rock from other times, brought back as it should be in ours.
Leave all those people who live like zombies between home-road-office-road-grocery-home. You have rock n roll. You understand, they don’t; or maybe you're about to understand, but you don't have this CD, but I won't stop reminding you, this is the CD for you.
You know when you play that CD you like so much, and you like it because it's varied, with rock tracks and ballads, perfect for all seasons, right? No. The good season is starting, you need a CD with maybe a slightly cleaner guitar, leave the ballads for the valley of the gardens, you're going to the beach, you have the Hawaiian shirt, not the diamond sweater, remember. You have everything you need, you're just missing the CD.
So, to recap: you have the car; the girl too (otherwise, well, take that friend who always gives you a strange look); you probably know some exotic plant growers; so:

Gas, ass and grass... go with the Fu!

Fu Manchu

Fu Manchu are an American stoner rock band from Southern California (Orange County/San Clemente area), formed in 1990 from the ashes of the hardcore punk band Virulence. Their sound is commonly described as riff-heavy, fuzz-drenched hard rock with wah-wah leads and a slacker vocal approach, often contrasted with Kyuss’ more desert-psychedelic angle.

 "Fu Manchu bring back the crude riffs and the heavy, paced rhythms of Black Sabbath with thunderous and devastating sounds."

 "The voice... uses neither a melodic register nor a screamed one, preferring a tone very close to speech."
