Recörd öf the Day

There's been a lot of Motörhead in my ears lately. Seems like whenever I don't know what to play I just put one of their records on and happily headbang the day away. It's a universal day to day music for me. Nothing too mind-blowing or brain-bending, but a solid, true, heavy rock'n'roll.

And I won't even start on Lemmy again. "Prince died" ... "Who?" "David Bowie kicked the bucket." ... "Whatever." But when Lemmy left this world, it really brought me down. There's been a couple of idealized father-substituting role-models (or imaginary friends if you wish) in my life that sort of guided me through and Lemmy was definitely one of them. The One who started it all, the survivor, the ultimate rocker.

We Are Motörhead is a very dear album to me, as I it was one of the first CDs (yes, CDs, go Google it) I ever owned in my life. It is an exceptionally fast one by Motörhead standards too.
Give it a go:

And for some reason I really like Overnight Sensation too. Good mix of melody and power.

Well, Lemmy, rock in peace and thanks for all the inspiration and hours, if not days, of life-changing, hard charging music!
