(trying to) lay low (but it's going slow)

 Feeling a bit odd as of late...long story

more importantly though

the music continues to play on, as it always has, for now

Sister Nancy, the bonafide queen of dancehall,

featured with a band that is the real deal.

She is still the queen, but Theivery Corporation

is a great listen on their own..look around and listen...no bullshit!

a gorgeous 80 degree day, then  slightly different the next day.

19 fucking 82!!!!

I saw them the next year at the Universal Amphitheater.

Yeah, this band/song is HIGHLY overplayed,

at least on the "classic rock" stations here.

(I know I'm getting marketedly older,

because "classic rock" now includes Grunge bands!)

Anway, the song may be one of the best songs ever written.

Categorized under, if you could go back in time,

people you would like to have a cup of coffee with.

Colorized from a 1907 photo of Maude Wagner

Just watched a flick called "Old Henry"

that was set in 1907 coincidental,

Good flick in my opinion

(the farmer's son got on my nerves big time).

I'm not really a flick guy anymore

2 hours or so, can be a long time to sit and invest.

If your're an internet user

or more specifically, social media fanatic

scroll...scroll...scroll

then you know the malady of having a short attention span.

Talk about playing someone else's song 

and taking complete ownership of it!

This ain't no Karaoke Kover band.

This is their song now.

This goes out to my man Phil,

keep riding that wave brother.

Y'all are gonna get a sneak peak of the fruits of his labor...

soon!

found clip and made of GIF of bass player extraordinaire Dixie Dave

of the indominable Weedeater

doing the old puke and play on...thing.

My memory is so spotty of the my playing days,

don't remember ever accomplishing that feat.

Music and lyrics speak for themselves

and then throw in a Godess of a voice.

Oh shiitake mushroom, Pentangle were an amazing band!

Sittin' behind the front wheel

Got my woman beside me, too

Hey baby, we're goin' home

Hey baby, we're goin' home

I don't mind the drizzle and rain

Inside it is warm and dry

Hey baby, we're goin' home

Hey baby, we're goin' home

Dai-dai, pa-da-da

Dai-dai, pa-da-da

Faster, baby, let's go

Racin' on through the night

Hey baby, we're goin' home

Oh baby, we're goin' home

And baby, when we get there

I'll do everythin' for you

Because, baby, we'll be back home

Baby, we'll be back home

Dai-dai, pa-da-da

Dai-dai, pa-da-da

And all our hope is wet down

Get stopped on the soaked highway

Because, baby, we must get home

Because, baby, we must get home

And I don't mind tellin' you, gal

A policeman won't do us good

A jailhouse would be my home

A jailhouse would be my home

So faster, baby, let's go

Racin' on through the night

Hey baby, we're goin' home

Hey baby, we're goin' home

Dai-dai, pa-da-da

Dai-dai, pa-da-da

Dai-dai, pa-da-da

Dai-dai, pa-da-da

Peace and love to all y'all...

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

das sadness...

 I would have been covered in tattoos 20 years ago,

if they weren't so fucking expensive.

Nowadays they are so popular,

you seem to be uncool if you don't have one,

especially one that is visable in street clothes.

When I see a well done sleeve

 and I think, there goes several thousand dollars.

Well done tattoos ain't cheap, especially these days.

Not a real big fan of facial tattoos, but to each their own, ya know?

(and definitely no eyeball tattoos for me...okay)

Feeling the error of emotion this morning.

Top 10 love songs I've run across in my years.

Originally done by Old Crow Medicine Show,

but this cover by William & Marteka,

really squeezes the blood out of the turnip,

that is my heart!

Marteka's voice, melts the mustard off my sandwhich.

Some hardcore irony that the one woman in my life,

that made me feel this way,

is the one who enlightened me to this tune.

A little peice of me dies every time I hear it,

making me more of a Mustard Relic than ever.

There ain't much left of old Mostaza...hahah.

This live version by the folks from OCMS

is over the top fucking cool,

one of those shows, wishing I was a fly on the wall.

Wait...I am a fly on the wall,

watching as my life unfold in front of me.

Peace to all y'all...

They eat all the food off their plate and then want yours too,

or expect you to survive off the crumbs that fall theirs.

Most of us are tools and play the us versus them game,

but have no clue who the real "them" is.

Guillotine!

Was talking to a friend about Sam Hell,

as in "what in the Sam hell are ya doing"

And my algorythm popped this one up on the tube.

(btw, I would submit that our personal algorythms,

should be our intellectual property,

if ya wanna get real about it)

A Johnny Cash cover of a 19th Century English folk tune,

I thought I had heard just about everything he recorded.

Must be in the dead zone of my mind.

Anway, it caught my eye because I thought it said Sam Hell.

My latest concept birdhouse.

The blood there is mine.

This one fucked up me up and my saw too.

The model there is Mama,

named Mama because she was a shitty mother before I got her fixed.

Now all the cats are fixed (there are many), 

inside only, outside only and those that roam both realms

(they are free to choose their path and you'd be surprised,

many choose the wilds vs. the sheltered home life).

What would you choose?

Also wierd ending up at these guys,

but nothing to do with algorythms.

This came out of a mental health discussion,

and wondering if there was ever a Dis-clone band called Disease.

Sure enough in the 20-teens there was one.

This record was released in 2016.

Pretty damn good in my book,

but eventually there will be people who will never open a book.

AND...

Just broke a favorite coffee mug,

one that I've been luggin around with me since high school.

I guess I've got a whole room filled with that kind of stuff,

entropy is real.

1st world problems, eh?

hahahaha!

Latest cigarette case by my pal Stovepipe

Thanx dude!

This is an eductional piece challenging folks who have a "wide" taste in music.

This is one of the best releases by a two-piece ever,

it just happens to be a later (2004) power violence type thing.

As Cyrus said in the Warriors (1979) movie,

"can you dig it"

Probably not, but there is still time...hahah.

This is one of those albums (all 17:58 minutes of it),

that you need to play from beginning to end.

You listen to just some random tune 

and you have no idea where the fuck you are.

For those that don't dig it, it's okay,

you are part of the majority of those who listen to "music"

To my knowlege I have never heard a taylor Swift song, so...

The last two were pretty noisey,

why not, right, the world is a noisey fucking place.

But I'd rather end it with something appropriately somber.

Used to blast this one in my truck,

when it was appropriate.

It's a good ending song,

good day/night y'all.
