  • Friends of mine play drinking games to her show. Every time she says YUMMO, or EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), you take a shot. She says these quite alot, so you end up pretty trashed by shows end. Personally she is hard to watch because of her bubbl…
  • I am so damn hooked. I have to pull out a 20th century music reference guide to remember all of the artists names I might otherwise overlook. Four of the highlights for me are Wes Montgomery doing "Impressions", a 16 min. Australian clip of The Carp…
  • They look like wax effigies. What kind of girls go for these primping dorks?
  • Love 60's country records with the trucker themes. Red Simpson - I'm A Truck is a great one, plus the aforementioned Dave Dudley tracks. While I'm at it, I must mention... not on LP, but TIME LIFE put out a series of CD's of No. 1 hits for the years…
  • I was wondering if anyone likes James Browns. He's pretty good too. It's easy to pick on a bro' for not being "schooled" in hipster music taste. Everybody's gotta start somewhere. What better place to open doors than on Soulstrut. Sorry to chim…
  • Love the 1st record, the one with his face on the front cover (painted) w/ Neil Young in print on top. "Broken Arrow" w/ Buffalo Springfield.
  • If you dig to flip - then you can stash some of the cash to take a romantic getaway in the future. The wifey will be all over that.
  • The music was done by Michael Andrews (A.K.A. Elgin Park) of Greyboy Allstars (Guitarist) and Donnie Darko fame. Nicely done ambient Robert Wyatt/Eno-esque electronic score done with Casio keyboards and other cheap stuff. Got a 3 star rating in Roll…
  • Have guilty pleasures listening to Michael Franks early 90's output. Little bit of Bob Dorough in his voice tone... No? Thing is about seeing smooth/jazz bands live is that audience talks & chatters through the whole thing. No attentive listenin…
  • Hooper is my Burt flick of choice
  • Todd Rundgren "Be Nice To Me". I know it said single most, but I gotta add more. Gustav Holst "Neptune The Mystic", Beach Boys "Our Sweet Love", Debussy "Afternoon Of A Faun"
  • Heard good things about this movie. I played bass on the Karaoke scene tracks. Don't know if they ended up in the film, but judging by the pic in this post, there is a karaoke scene. They changed film composers midway, so I hope it stayed in. Did "A…
  • For evening time slumbers, grab a hand towel, and soak it in cold water and lay it on your chest along with a fan set at medium pointing right at you. You will fall asleep in no time. When the coolness wears away from the towel, you will be asleep a…
  • It's always nice to make your own, but if you have to buy, Sweet Baby Ray's is pretty darn good. For me, Vinegar at the top of the ingredient list is key. Down in San Diego, there's a place called "Phil's BBQ" that has one many taste awards for thei…

  • When my friend first moved to Hollywood, he ended up getting a job at Cherokee studios in late 80's. Mainly gopher stuff, getting food for artists etc. One day they had him clean up the tape vault. They had him throwing stuff out in the dumpster out…
  • Pioneers in country-rock...1st POCO lp w/ Jim Messina, Richie Furay (both ex-Buffalo Springfield), and Rusty Young. nice writing & great playing.
  • Little Runaway & Little Town Flirt are Del Shannons raerest. Once picked up a cache of seemingly obscure small label R&B/doo wop 45's from my wifes aunt who was the rebellious teen in her family during the late 50's. Weird labels from small …
  • A great book called "Kitchen Confidential- Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly" by Anthony Bourdain, is an enlightening and rather funny look at the real goings on in Americas high end kitchens. He's as hard-ass, and talented as Ramsey. One of my …
  • The Doobie Bros. had two drummers. Yes, in the hands of two sucky drummers, it can make for some interesting flams if the the two aren't synched. In my mind, the James Brown groups w/ Jabo & Starks made for one of the best 2 drummer combos (as s…
  • I do enjoy the ole'808 bass drum. If it comes with great music wrapped around it. If that was all I could hear"BOOM BOOM B,BOOM BOOM" thru the walls, It's like chinese water torture after a while. I've had my car rattle off it's hinges from 6 cars a…
  • Life imitates the unconscious, or so they say. who says this? Then, you realize it was just a friggin' cream dream! *PASUE!* Why be a smartass?
  • Thank you HAM for getting the pics up. On the left is Yusef Lateef, and the one on the right is Sonny Rollins. My dad was about 25 years of age when these were done. They were done in ink & colored pencil in 1958. My dad was a sometime trombone …
  • fr#@#kin' hell! my pics don't show up. Anyways, question still stands
  • I'll try... thanks
  • Show off. she is a sexy, but it doesn't help my plight
  • "Song Cycle" LP on Warner Bros.? It is what "Smile" might have been. i find that record to be pretty unlistenable.. the ridiculous phasing on the vocals and OTP musichall foolishnes gets on my nerves. smile on the otherhand the 'musichall foo…
  • I saw the movie as a kid, and it kinda missed the mark for me. Sorta creepy. The soundtrack is somewhat in demand (or was). Another composer involved with this movie was one Van Dyke Parks (Beach Boys "Smile lyricist). Anyone have his "Song Cycle" L…
  • I love canned smoked Oysters, mussles, clams etc. You smell bad after eating them, but what a culinary JOY!!!! Try with goat cheese, and black pepper water crackers. Fried Oysters are a must too. Delicious puffy pillows of slightly gamey goodness. L…
  • Holy Smikey! Does cruz's chick have herpes? Also gaunt as hell. Great pics of Cruz. Respect the COCK! He's living out his "Magnolia" role big time.
