Mayhem(NYC) - Rehearsal

 The old style Daisy BB gun my wife got me for Valentines day.  My son thought that was about the coolest gift anyone could receive on Valentines Day.

I didn't get much of a response from my first Mayhem post so here's another one.  I like the other live show better but this is kinda cool.  I really don't have much to say about this one.  I did my best ripping this tape but as you can tell it is several generations down the line in tape trading.  If anyone knows anything about this band it would be cool to know, I just can't find anything on the net.  If you like this a little bit do yourself a favor and check my other Mayhem post.

Linton Kwesi Johnson - Dread Beat An Blood

  A beautiful 70 degree day yesterday (very rare for this time of year), so my wife and I decided to take our dogs for a run.  The first picture is from my back yard and second is of the creek (crick) down where those trees are in the first picture.  If you have dogs then you know how cool this is for both humans and dogs. I got this tape when I was in going to school at HSU and working in the dorms.  My first job was as a housekeeper (ha ha) and then I got on the grounds keeping crew which is the most prestigious job on campus, next to professor.  Not really, but a killer job anyway.  I was working by the dorms and in between mowing lawns I heard this music coming out of one of the third story rooms.  This was like nothing I had heard before.  I hollared up to the room and ended up taking to the guy for a while.  I can't remember his name, but he was really cool in a kind of a trippy way and was definately not your average dorky kid just out of high school.  He ended up dubbing the tape for me and I played the hell out of it over the years.  I have another album of his but I don't think it is as good as this.  I don't know too much about this guy except that he is a dub poet and definately has some pretty powerful stuff to say.  I found this on youtube, http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JlY6gLe3Lkw&feature=related , and saw that he has his own record label here, http://www.lkjrecords.com/ .  I could not find this on his site or anywhere else so I assume it is out of print.  If you can find this go buy it, but in the mean time here's a few tunes for you.

Garden Weasel - Live (09/21/91)

 This here stereogram is for Alex, Slam and any other riders of waves out there.  Don't forget these are thumbnails and are much easier to see big.  The best way to look at these to get the effect is to focus on the relection in the screen and not the image itself.  you kind of have to cross your eyes.  I think I like these because I did WAY too much acid and mushrooms and what not back in the day.   I like this one for this Garden Weasel post because we were kind of devilish.  Ha ha.  Actualy we weren't too bad.  This is the last one I have except for the seven inch and I had seen that I hadn't posted a GW post in a while.  Yeah, I know I post too much of my own music but I have a lot of fun doing it, because all we ever did was play shows and parties in Humboldt county.  Now we're all over the world for what it's worth.

I don't remember too much about this party because I was pretty wasted (as usual).  I do remember it was up on California st. in Arcata California at Dawn, Meuter and Gail's on the deck.  Gail had this gigantic snake that used to eat rabbits, I didn't like that too much.  She was also good friends with NOFX so they would come up and party sometimes.  By the way, Gage do you remember getting me backstage to see those guys in San Diego?  As I said I was pretty wasted at this show and in fact I have a feeling that Ed was probably the only one who wasn't.  Check his link under Dead Ed and see if he has anything to say about this party.  We were pretty sloppy on this recording and the quality isn't that good, but not too bad for being recorded on a ghetto blaster.  I'm just posting some of my favorite songs, but I have the whole thing too.
