spending time under the giant sequoias with old friends

Hangin' with the Elk in the prairie is my only excuse for no post last weekend. Chillin with old friends under the old growth is what I was up to. The only music was the crack of the fire. Well, that and the douche bags that were in the camp next to us. Still, it was pretty freakin' rad. Stay tuned for more blah on the blahg...

Still jammin econo, man!

Mike Watt's latest, "hyphenated-man" made the day oh so right, man. I was lucky enough to catch this tour when it came through town. Still jammin econo, man! Still touring econoline, as if that would ever change. I saw show # 49 on a 50 show tour that happened in 52 days. Seriously fucking bad ass, man.

30 bits to the cut on this punk rock opera. All gems. Harkins back to the days of the Minute Men. And loving every similarity. On yellow vinyl ta-boot. Pettibon art on the cover. Sweet!

Terror Twilight

Being an exceptionally busy Sunday, what should have been my morning record became my Sunday evening drive into the city record. I do confess that these tracks were enjoyed from the sounds of the hi-fi in my wife's responsible Honda Accord. However, I want to let it be known that Alice and I each had a copy of this record coming into our relationship together, so we have two copies of this beautifully produced record. I think that that more than makes up for it, no? Sounds so sweet. The sweetness of lying around, late at night, all dewy in summer sweat. That is a different story. Until next time...

Pass the hot sause please

This is the hot shit part 22. How ever many years later, no matter. All the more anticipated, all the more rad that the now part is here! Still making noise, still bringing the party, still mowing down sucka MC's like nobody's business. B-E-A-S-T-I-E is how we all want to be. Thanx boys, for keeping things awesome. This summer is really shaping up to be the best ever !!!

Here's Where the Strings Come In

Sunday morning just turned into Sunday evening. Woke up late, ate breakfast burritos made by the fabulous Alice, and took a nice walk up in Tildon Park. 'Yeah it's beautiful here too, but why am I telling you?'

This record immediately takes me back to a time that I have the hardest time remembering. Fuck! those were some good times. It is more of an emotion now than anything. Feeling good about the good times that I had during those times. Yeeeaaaaaaaah !!!

Let me be the steward of your summer plans, we'd have so much fun.

until next week...

Double Dose of the Reggae Recipe

The Original Reggae Hitsound of Desmond Dekker

A reggae recipe that is so right. blogging live from San Antonio Lake (thanks to the Mifi hot spot 21st century awesome). Woke up today after a fantastic day on the Lake, went straight for the iTouch, put on the finest reggae I could. It was just what the doctor ordered.
