bernard allison & stevie ray vaughan Live in Peoria 1986


I had heard this story for YEARS, before the internet. Someone would stop by the shop and tell the tale.

having clips on youtube of this is great.

Bill, this is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Shit, man!

John Fogerty.

Still alive.

There’s hope left.

Maybe he’ll do a record with T Bone Burnett.

We’ll see

T Bone is cool dude. He produced some of Leon Russel/Elton John’s record. He also did a Brandi Carlile record which sounds amazing. I used to keep in touch with Tim Hanseroth back in the Fighting Machinists days. I still have all of the unreleased recordings they did, and a handful of songs that were there’s before they recorded them with Brandi. “The Story” being one of them… Check out the Leon Russel documentary sometime, it’s a neat thing to see. Then the videos of him at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just completes it all…

Zombies, and a New LSD

So some naked dude ate another naked dude’s face off in Miami.  They are blaming it on “A new LSD called Bath Salts.”  Which is it?  LSD or Bath Salts?  LSD is LSD, from what I learned in middle school science/chemistry.  I’m concerned that the people who enforce laws that involve chemicals don’t have a clue what they are.  [It’s like “A new kind of water makes people sick.”]  “Bath Salts” have been banned here, in the state where I reside for two years.

The CD arrived today, and I am listening to it in my car. The vinyl won’t be in until next month.  The production is just absolutely beautiful!  I can’t wait to hear the difference in the vinyl mastering.  And, yeah, the songwriting is refreshing also…

[Flash 10 is required to watch video]

I’ve been messing around with audio inputs to my computer and making sure it syncs up with video. I thought some of you might want to see what’s up… Sorry if it gets loud sometimes, and If I’m not paying attention to what I was playing, I was watching the gain and adjusting the level on the interface… 

Let me know if there is any major issue with the sound on your computer… I have a compressor that I plan on putting in the signal path to even it out -some individual notes are too quiet…

Miracle-Gro Organic

Miracle-Gro Organic Plant Food -the dry stuff- is made from pasteurized poultry litter, and feather meal. 

Miracle-Gro Organic Plant Food -the liquid stuff- is made from fermented sugar beet molasses. I’ve seen some other plant foods -“organic” and not- made from bovine blood.

How am I supposed to grow at least vegetarian food with animal products?  [I say at least, because of manure, and worm casings, and whatever else may not ultimately be considered vegan.]  …Or, I guess what I am questioning, is, how can I grow and eat food that is nourished with a product from questionable sources?  Are the poultry that produce the poultry litter treated well?  How’s about the feather meal?  How can I enjoy a cucumber that is the end, the very end result (well, almost, until I have littered it out), of some animal’s shitty life?  [Pun intended]

DIscuss amongst yourselves…

Thoughts?
