I'll make it up to you for yesterday's Lil Wayne, don't you worry. How about we make today stoner metal Tuesday just for kicks? It's a genre I haven't been all too familiar with until very recently. Yes, I've heard of Queens of the Stone Age, but that's about it. Enter a few weeks into the past, where rcrdlbl offers up five and a half minutes courtesy of Texas' Linus Pauling Quartet. Stoner metal band...named after a chemist...okay.
Their "She Did Not Know" is a few things. Gritty, harsh, and surprisingly, a bit psychedelic. Typically I don't like too much psych in my music, but this song has just the right amount for me to enjoy. The guitar work is pretty slick too; there's a lot going on at once, but a few solid listens will give you some appreciation for the band. All in all, "She Did Not Know" is a song I wasn't aware that I could like. It grew on me quickly, going to show that maybe, just maybe, there is a chance that you can teach an old dog new tricks.
