Loading... I spent a few hours on Sunday watching Wrecks to Riches on the Velocity channel. On one episode they restored a '69 Plymouth Road Runner and dropped a 471 Hemi with dual Holley carbs into that sucker. Five-hundred and thirty maniacal horses. For some reason, it made me think of this song from Machine Head, one of the great early heavy metal albums and one of my all-time favorites. Recorded live in Denmark in 1972, right before the album dropped. If you'd like more Deep Purple, just click here.

two quick anecdotes:
1. i got into this song, and GK&TPs by extension, because an 18 year old joe overheard a beeyoutiful stripper say she preferred dancing to songs like "midnight train to georgia" over other, more popular crap. i had to hear what she was talking about (oh, sasha...).
2. like in rob gordon's top 5 dream job list in high fidelity (the movie; i don't remember the specific quote in the book) about wanting to be a musician like a memphis horn, but not needing to be jagger or hendrix: i always kind of wanted to be a pip. the matching suits and subdued, choreographed dance moves were a big part of that.
