5:15ers - Live At The Athurball Echo Park (2006)

Not sure if I posted this one before..anyway...

Fififf Teeners (or The 5:15ers) is the name given to the side project of musicians Josh Homme and Chris Goss.
The alias of the duo was first used when they co-produced Queens of the Stone Age's Rated R,[1] and again for the band's fifth studio album, Era Vulgaris.[2] To date, the pair have only performed as the 5:15ers once, at the ArthurBall held at the Echoplex, a club in Echo Park, California. The set was a mix of tracks from both their respective careers, including a number of Masters of Reality songs, "100 Days" from Mark Lanegan's Bubblegum (Which both Goss and Homme contributed to) and "You Would Know" by Queens of the Stone Age. Another song played was a cover of "Space For Rent" by the Danish three-piece WhoMadeWho. The performance also included original work, with the song "Into the Hollow" later appearing on Era Vulgaris.

GOON MOON - LICKER'S LAST LEG (2007)

In case you haven't noticed by now, we here at G.O.M.E. tend to worship at the altar of Chris Goss. I track down every record he's affiliated with, from the MASTERS OF REALITY stuff to the more electro UNKLE. GOON MOON is the bizarre soundclash between Goss and Jeordie White (aka Twiggy Ramirez), and Licker's Last Leg is their second album. It's also a front-runner for G.O.M.E. Album of the Year accolades. Is it desert rock? Well, in a sense, yes. Without Chris Goss, there would be no "desert rock" to speak of. However, the experimentation, keyboard orchestration, and use of effects makes this GOON MOON offering a bit more EARTHLINGS? than MASTERS OF REALITY. Rest assured, though, Gomies. There's a lot more to this record than simple blips and bleeps. "An Autumn That Came Too Soon", despite the electronics, is a page directly torn from the Goss/Homme handbook, and if "Pin Eyed Boy" doesn't remind you why you love MASTERS OF REALITY so much, then you clearly have some homework to do. My personal favorite? Ironically it's an earnest cover of the BEE GEES' "Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You".

MASTERS OF REALITY - GIVE US BARABBAS (2004) ***BY REQUEST***

Our main man Peluka requested this one, so G.O.M.E. had to deliver. I'm willing to wager that just about anyone who stumbles across G.O.M.E. is familiar with Chris Goss and MASTERS OF REALITY, though this most recent release is increasingly hard to find, and often carries a hefty price tag. This album threw many fans for the proverbial loop upon its release. While Goss has never hid his BEATLES influence, he's always balanced it out with some crunchy SAB-style riffing. Well, Give Us Barabbas is more Lennon than Iommi. Goss even pays tribute to his late hero with a cover of Lennon's bluesy "It's So Hard". These songs weren't intended to be a cohesive album (most of these songs are simply unreleased tracks recorded over a period of years), yet it works exactly as such. Listen for Scott Weiland's vocals on "Jindalee, Jindalie", as well as some special guest drumming by former MASTERS member Ginger Baker.
