Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears - "tell em what your name is"

our beloved revolutionary sweetheart.

man, i'd forgotten just how much i love this album.

any earlier in CVB's career and it's a little too goofy, any later and it's just polished quirkypop.

but this album, upon rediscovery, shows me the direct line to why i fell so deeply in love with firewater the first time i heard them . . .

also:



if there's gonna be a better summer single for windows-down-drivin'-on-sunny-days than "land of the freak" somebody better get to writin' it . . .

Land of the freek rules as does Torture. Stoked to see them at the Wex.

I listened to three Buckethead records in a row last night. I dunno.

thee oh sees - help
dirty projectors - rise above/bitte orca
gbv - king shit and the golden boys
jarvis - further complications
rtfo bandwagon - dums will survive

The new 2 disc reissue of Bunny Gets Paid finally gave me enough motivation to check out Red Red Meat. If you like Califone and need a fix before their next album comes out definitely check out this album.

boc-tyranny and mutation

obits-i blame you

i listened to the obits on you people's rec's..i started to like it even tho the sound is for shit for a rnr record..why would they overcompress rock music?

about halfway thru it i ralized that i was listening to crap..

thanks.

this is good..a bit youthful, ambitious and playful in parts..a couple of real good ones..it grows on me each listen..

I've really gotten into The Elysian Fields' Queen of the Meadow album. You may recognize the voice of Jennifer Charles from Lovage and Firewater, but to me her voice is liquid sex with a chaser. yum. Kind of mellow, so it took me a minute to get into it, but I'm glad I gave it a chance.

Timmy's Organism 2x7" first thing this morning. lovelovelove Timmy Vulgar. This is my favorite purchase in weeks. Well, it was a gift. Then, T Rex - The Slider. possibly favorite record of all time.

Mr. Grave got that insane SPK box set on Vinyl on Demand, and it's so pretty I'm scared to even touch the innards. I guarantee if I pick up that box, somehow my feet will slip out from under me, the box will fly into the air, bounce off the desk, the latch will break, everything inside will hit the floor and shatter into a million painstakingly prepared pieces. Yeah. I'm not touching it.

Recorded live at the Second Fret club in Philadelphia and from live radio appearances, on various dates from 1966-68. Source information on boot artwork was checked against data on http://jonimitchell.com/chronology/ She did actually appear at the Second Fret on the dates given.

The sets are interesting because on the early ones Joni is obviously nervous and she talks a LOT; she also plays a bunch of stuff that she wrote but never recorded. If the DL links above don't work, try the ones

so bored with regular rotation at work (even tho it's really varied and far-reaching, mostly) so i started listening to all the music in my laptop sorted alphabetically by song title.

18.5 gigs, 10 days, 21 hrs, 57 mins, 58 seconds..

helpful in many ways, one of which is deleting some crap i never want to hear again.

another is hearing the songs in a new context is sometimes stimulating..

so far noone in the shop has tried to kill me..but we're only in the middle of the 'b' section..

ended today with bitches brew..it was perfect for a full moon friday..

i really like the peter doherty record even tho it's mostly recyvled earlier shite..

this show is ok, shitty soundboard quality.
Not as awesome as the show they did in columbus a few years ago on st. paddy's day. Fuck, the copy of that I have sounds about as good.
