ALT! ΑΚΙΝΗΤΟΙ ΟΛΟΙ ΜΠΑΣΤΑΡΔΟI

My long time virtual pal, Panos, from Greece, sent me his latest work, a collaboration. It's been 9 years since the Martyred Heretics comp CDr was released, he was a big part of me doing that project and he has been sharing his projects with me ever since. I know he's been at it now, for at least 20 years and Pornostroika Dadaifi is alive and well today. I don't know a lick of Greek, although I desperately wanted to take classical Greek when I was in college, so I don't know what is being said/sang, but for me the "hit" on this particular release, is track 7, Olla Via feat.Pornostroika - Στη Γαλλία (Ρεμίξ AL-Leon).

 

Crawl before you walk...

Not posting as much as I'd like to...guess there's a lot of things I don't like...I don't like that either. Oh well! 

Father's Day

I was mediocre at best being a Pops

Had no Pops of my own

No excuses

A lesson in what not to do

If you can help it

Hope you Father's out there

Got it or will soon get it right

"Time is a creature"

Life is that picture you missed taking

Happy Day Boys, share whatever goodness ya got!

Another one of those tunes played by a true master of the craft...moving mountains in the world that is my heart.

Whoever "she" may be in your life, there is, in fact only darkness when they are truly "away". In my current state, I counted that Mr Withers confirms this when he notes, starting at 0:54, "I KNOW", at least 24 times. This tunemust go out to DMD. On a side note, that band that's playing with Bill, is the fucking shizbot...I want to be wherever that drummer appears to be...grooving, ya know?

This amazing sounding, Iron Lung live set, was the most recent one I could find, a year old this month, goes out to my long time virtual pal and the only "follower" of the blog, Elliott. Dude, next time I'm in LA we gotta hook up, smoke a bowl (legally) and listen to some tunes in person...hahah!

Elliott mentioned the almighty, Iron Lung, in a comment and I got to thinking that I did indeed put them on the old blog, probably several times. This album was released almost 20 years ago, which sadly, got me thinking about what I have accomplished in that time. Getting off the hooch almost 18 years ago, would have to be the highlight and since then, I have been able to enjoy a lot of good times, with a lot of good folks, but damn, I am just not pleased at this moment (3:30 am), with the cumulative success I've had at this life thing since then. Anyway, digressing again...this is an absolutely, fucking beautiful lesson in what I would define as a musical onslaught...21 songs in a 18 minutes, but you have to think of it as an 18 minute song.
