t-rex infection

my friend dave has been playin a lot of t-rex lately and now the songs come bouncing into my head anytime silence lingers. i heard that if you can get the tune caught in another persons brain that it will leave yours. i actually like t-rex, so i'm not that upset if it sticks around, but let try a little experiment shall we.

this is a pretty glammed up version of "hot love", full of glitter and backup singers. i love the backup singers. also look at how many tambourines there are! so, time to stand out in the rain and catch something.

jimmy carter says "yes"

i watched a documentary recently called off the charts about song poems. unbeknownst to me there has been studio bands cutting tracks for people that mail in their lyrics since around the 1950-60's. these amateur lyricist have taken the time to read those small advertisements in the back of magazines and newspapers to discover for a small portion of money they can see their musical visions come to life with the potential of chart topping success. this method of musical rearing has produced some very beautiful car wrecks.

take this song for instance written by waskey elwood walls jr. and played by gene marshall. i believe waskey is the man rockin out to this funky owed to our 39th president. i really dig his thumb moves.

enticed? the rest of the documentary can be viewed here.

drowning in the fourth of july

we may not even be close to seeing organized firework displays, but that doesn't matter. i was watching this video last night and the whole thing seemed to sit right next to my feelings at the time. maybe i shouldn't be so impatient and wait till march 4th to post this, but does everything really need to be so perfect.

warm blanket for a cold mix

its been a while i know. got a little of the winter blues, but some sort of creative excitement blew in from unseen places and my sails are feeling full and ready to make moves.

i was part of a cd mix club this year, which i hate to admit, was a little disappointing overall, but you can't expect everything to set on first attempt. i am equally at fault in this experiment being one of many not to get their mix out on time. i had november and am just now getting my cd in the mail. for shame i know. i had a few idea for the packaging, which didn't work out exactly as planned, but after some improvising i crashed upon this. i finished it off by stitching up the top, so recipients will be required to cut, tear or use some other method to obtain the music. listening at times may be just as frustrating, but i hope rewarding.
