in particular due to lung busting forest & brush fires ( about 1000 ) going throughout the state...
strange days indeed
i'm not in my groove...
even if I knew what that was
there is a smattering of tracks tucked in this post
look for em
as I'm too busy to point em out for y'all
here's the first one, something I've never listened too, and likely won't, but the title sounds appropo fo yo
Justin Timberlake - Summer Love / Set The Mood Prelude
A week or so back I passed through Pasadena on a hot summer day
In the 100+ degree heat, the streets were filled with music, for the Make Music Pasasdena event. Perfomers were stationed on multiple stages includingNortec Collective members Bostich + Fussible
(Bostich + Fussible are authors of this track called Shake It Up uh, that's an actual mp3 link " )
and more Bostich + Fussible tracks for download at Rhapsody
other bands plying their sonic shlep for free in the streets were
The Raveonettes ,
Kinky
and the multi cultural melange of
Dengue Fever
from "Venus on Earth"
(M80)
bonus Dengue not so oldie
Download 2005's
We Were Gonna (mp3)
from "Escape From Dragon House"
I caught the The Little Ones in some alley
Little Ones - Tallies
So while the somewhat verdant but browning rapidly hills of Pasadena were alive with noise...
I had to go get a beer at some brewpub ( seen here in this LA Weekly pic )because the town neglected to offer any refreshments alcoholic or otherwise within sight of the stages I visited...
The one or two "bars" I passed were actually closed on a Saturday afternoon...
I ended up in a swimming pool north of town in short order, headliners be damned...
Hours later I was back up north here in San Francisco, where it was downright cold...which was nice...
But the next day
I was up bright and early dealing with the logistics of helping set up a hippie rock concert featuring Janis Joplin's old backing band...
Big Brother & The Holding Company
Janis was a no show... go figger
(but some chick named Cathy Richardson did an admirable job)
Santana did show up, or I should say a Santana,
it was just the son of Carlos...
Salvador Santana...
This coming week here in SF, with all the hippies safely tucked back into their hacky sacks, I suppose I will look forward to seeing the release of the new album from The Parker Brothers...
First, Best, Last
That's like a heads up for fans of 70's syrupy pop
Lil Mike sez, hey maybe put down yer pet rock, and check it out...
from "First, Best, Last"
(Middle Slot Records)
Parker Brothers - One Bad Apple
( yeah, I was disappointed too when I found out that one above wasn't an Osmonds cover, so here's one more)
Parker Brothers - She Got
I gotta go
Have a Bitchin Hot Summer...
