Things get even more mutated on this version. Always a bunch more weird, off and interesting on their approach than their Brit blues rock peers of their time, covering a Groundhogs song actually makes sense for James, even if most wouldn't ever think about it else wise. Watch the video for Staring At The Sun from Anthony Stewart Heads Staring At The Sun. The flip finds a take on 'Cherry Red' by the Groundhogs. I mean, it's been at least 25 years since I last listened to it. With guitar twang specializing in slasher flick splatter, a rhythm section adept in beat downs, creepy echo'd vocals and notions of riding a rocket straight into the middle of the huge flaming orange ball, it's downright disturbing take of the song that may even get me to bust out the original and reassess my opinion on it. On one side, there's the Angry Samoans 'Staring At The Sun.' Originally appearing on an album that confused to flat out pissed punk rockers when it came out for sounding, well.a bit more 'mature' than the ones before it, STP Not LSD, the song was the psychedelic jam on that record. An army of giant eagles will appear in the sky and kill every white man alive 7.

Little RichardHere’s Little Richard(Speciality LP, 1957) Arguably the most important of all the African American progenitors of rock ‘n’ roll, ahead even of Chuck Berry, Little Richard, starting in 1951, recorded a string of wild, sexually charged, mutant-R&B singles for RCA, Peacock and Speciality. As a fan of the type of noise James has made since first hearing the Fireworks back in the mid-90's and dug everything he has been a part of since, along fact that it had been over five years since anything, you could even go as far as saying I was chomping at the bit for new music from him. When James Arthur's album of last year, Digital Clubbing, came out I was pretty dang excited to hear it.
