While the whole thing might seem a bit underwhelming considering its godhead status with some, Cold Fact is a pretty killer album, even when you remove its strange story. Opener “Sugar Man” channels the same seedy, narcotic vibe as Curtis Mayfield’s “Pusherman,” and if it weren’t for lyrics like “Silver magic ships you carry/ Jumpers, coke, sweet Mary Jane,” one might mistake it for some misplaced...
The Guitar Hero craze is reaching fever pitch, as more and more games are in the pipeline. Speaking on tribute games like Metallica and Aerosmith versions of the game, former Guns n’ Roses guitarist Slash let slip that a Jimi Hendrix one is also in development. “Those are two ones [Metallica and Aerosmith] that I [...]
Joining the likes of Ozzy and and Jimi Hendrix in Guitar Hero: World Tour is The Amboy Dukes lead guitarist Ted Nugent. Nugent will appear in the game as a boss character which means you will be able to challenge him to a guitar duel or play along side the legend. His hit song Stranglehold will [...]
I took a very brief browse (can the verb to browse be nounified') this morning for the apolitical. Several posts in a row on that subject is more than I can stand. The first thing I looked for was Bubble Puppy, but I couldn't find a video. But the Amboy Dukes were in the "related video" section and I was suitably impressed.

Greetings Pumpkins. I wanted to tell you about a 9-minute long song (Marriage by The Amboy Dukes) but some disruptive fellow told me that I shouldn't do so because nobody ever listens to such stuff. It was quite listenable though. Anyway, here is my second choice: The Doors and Live in Hollywood (Aquarius Theater, 7/21/1969) Live [...]
The Amboy Dukes sometime in the late 60s. Yup, that's the gun-lovin’ Ted Nugent playing that guitar. I guess a lot of us are embarrassed by our hippie phase. UPDATE: Speaking of guys on drugs, Geoff has another great “Cold War II” post up today.
Read The Written Nerd's interview with OTBKB pal, Richard Grayson. Find out whether he thinks there's a Brooklyn literary sensibility? Which writers or works most emblematize Brooklyn. Which older writers set the tone? Which contemporary writers he reads with interest. Here's an excerpt. Growing up, I loved books about other kids in Brooklyn: first and foremost, Betty Smith’s A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,...
