Like I'm Totally Freaking Out

    Welcome my Friends to the shoe that never fits or something like that actually i know so little abut this most excellent Lp that it's downright humiliating, It's based on the teachings of Edgar Cayce who was a Physic and Healer among other gifts and that's about all i know except that it is an Awesome, really bangin' example of late 60's early 70 hard rock going deep... Now Dig!
 

Connection

    It's only Tuesday yet the day has got that Friday feel to it, ever since i switched days at work I'm all sorts of off schedule both here and there, finally saw the film Dig on DVD Sunday at a good friends pad, having always like both of the bands the film seemed at times to slam one and herald the other which i thought was a bit cheeky and walked away digging the BJM a bit more than the DW's simply on attitude.
     The saying Motivation is Everything comes to mind, as well as the knowledge that our motivations can change (having children has done it fairly quickly for most people i know, I'm not yet blessed with that but dig how that responsibility shifts priorities ) most people don't even understand their motivations or even how our motivations are/can be perceived by others and it becomes an even slippery slope once fame and money and acceptance of your "art" are put on the table.
    Seen people act out in some scary and bizarre ways after selling several hundred Cd's and have seen others remain humble in the face of huge ( and i mean HUGE) fame not often but it has happened, It's all about the original inner almost secret from the self motivation for what they were doing that burning desire/passion to do "it" [whatever it is].
    In A Bit of a Non-Sequiter-Many years ago i felt like iTunes and The iPod had (and they did no doubt about it) reconnected me to music in that it was swift, easy and i could find tunes by just typing in a name and no longer had to schlep crates of Lp's to DJ, but now I'm vibin' that there is also this disconnect somehow.
    Digital files they're neatly tucked away on a small hard drive and the Cd's that put much of the digital tunes on it are again neatly packed away on a shelf or in a box, But the vinyl man it's there in the morning, afternoon and evening stubbing toes and tripping over crates they're unavoidably there even a small record collection requires/demands square footage and visual respect which connects us  to them and the delights they hold in an ever more powerful way.
    Vinyl was and is the perfect way to end or curtail the paranoia about piracy hell even a great copy of a vinyl sounds a bit removed [although the digital process is pretty damn good] so once again bring back Vinyl....Vinyl Rules....alright nuff grumpy old man shite see ya tomorrow with a little sumthin' sumthin'

And I'm Back

Have to give huge props to everyone who participated in the 7 in 7 last week The Good Folks At PCL
the always stupendous One Man Safari and the Dukes of The Sharity Rebellion Houseplant Picture Studio and it  Looks like the ____ in ____ idea has some legs Our Favorite Martian Cookie over at Bedazzled is hooking us up with 14 in 14 he's putting up only the creme de la creme so get on it i'm a few days off myself...
    Found some interesting links check this out for really really early recording Sharity and this for Danger Man Soundtrack stuff or this Barry Gray (the composer for the TV show UFO) Fan Site with lots of goodness -CWCD
Damn ubu.com is down for the summer (knew i should grabbed more great clips when i had the chance drat)
    Well Riddle me this! You can buy this and this and even this marvelous Surfesque homage i found this while looking for another record and thoguht it be a great little something for yer ears it's not gonna be up long (but more than 24hrs) it needs no explanation or introduction hope ya dig it there is lots of great bits in this delectiable dozen my fine feathered friends

Behind Closed Doors

Here's another spoken word with music charmer made in 1959 as a promo give away/test record by JBL it might be the most deluxe test record in the archive, and while it dosen't have the blips and bloops I dig so much it has some great narative and the musik ain't so bad but your not listening to this to dig on the tune it's to learn ya up somethin' bout them there sound making platters which come in the cardboard envelope so next time you won't add so much dobly and ruin the mix.
    It comes with a 4 page "glossary provided in the pdf. It's an emphemeric biscut to be sure was thinking it would've have been sweet if they had made on of these with a Rock band like say Ultimate Spinach maybe they did? anyone?
Warning:these files are rather large about 15mg per so it might go slow...

Seven in Seven Day 6

    Closing in on the last day of this adventure and it really was just that an adventure, so you all know i didn't have but 2 of these beauties picked out and ready before hand so I've done them all on the day of and picked the title on the fly which made for some good choices (i think) as well as some just at the brink postings... nothing like a bit of nervous energy to get the blood flowing
   Today a rare treat it's another one of my favorites why would i share records or music i dislike hmm that gives me an idea but maybe in the fall we'll do 7 in 7 of the least enjoyable Lp's from the archive.
    The Comic Book Hero's is a great Jazz piece I've always thought this was the one with the Great Sun Ra on it and some of these grooves are reminiscent of his early "Straight Jazz" stuff but consensus tell us that it's the Batman & Robin by Dan & Dale that have Sun Ra and Al Kooper on it which i was gonna share originally and have it ready to go but at the last minute found out you can buy it so it sort of eliminated it's self from the criteria i use in in choosing Lp's form the archive         Anyway even without Sun Ra's mastery this Lp is a thoroughly enjoyable listen especially on a rainy night the dialog makes it interesting and the grooves gives it that swing baby so jump on in and Dig!

Seven In Seven Day 5

    I've got lots and lots to say about today's selection but once again time is short how short so short  i can't even think of anything snarky so here ya go this is my absolute favorite Films and Soundtracks for many reasons which will reveal themselves as you listen to it I'm sure if not I'll  fill ya in on in a couple of days when this is all a memory.

Seven in Seven Day 2

    This is the first time I'm implementing a timed post hopefully at 12am est Tuesday Morning you'll be able to dig this delicious treat.
    First off I gotta give up's to Our Favorite Martian because he's a Bro who has helped me get this blog thing going in the first place and our next Offering has the same name as his site.
    OK Now About St. John Green: 1st in the oops Dept: sorry about not including the album and artist info on yesterdays songs. Now If you goggled St. John Green you know as much or more than i do.
    I picked up that record in 93 it was a cheap, under 5 bucks (I know, i know  records aren't cool unless you buy them for a nickel but i got tired of listening to records even my grandparents found boring, forgive me for breaking the dollar barrier)    
    Anyway back to St. John Green they were gonna be "it" but it all turned to .... as you now know the Lp has merit the only thing i could find out about them easily was this Lp was produced by none other than This Fine Gent who has brought us much R.O.C.K over the decades though he dosen't mention this jewel in his on-line resume he did a bang up job as M.C at Little Stevens Garage fest last Summer and i thought he came off as the Duke of Krazy Kool in This Documentary, so that's it for St. John Green unless I spot their Legendary Second Lp.....
    Now on with the show many of you might have Today's offering if you do sorry tomorrow's very few people even know about so stayt tuned anyway Today's jewel has it all Bit of Rock some Jazz some easy mellow type stuff and most important of all the Dudley Moore Rave up "Bedazzled" one of the all time great heel songs of all time check it for yourself and see! also the film is a must see....
