This word grouping, Dog Days… it’s about what I”m currently listening to for the first time.  J got me this super great Goat Snake record.  Double LP, Clear Thick Vinyl…  Get it.  Good stuff.  Aside from me getting to hear some of my favorite modern riffs of all time, Slippin’ The Stealth rips.  But there is this session or groups of songs on the second LP that is called Dog Days.  Nice.  I’m not really sitting down, taking a break from watching a very good Bears V Vikings game, to sell a Goat Snake record with blabby hype.  Not my intention at all, but what the Dog Days did for me over the last 40 minutes or so, was to allow my body to fall into some serious stretching.  I just rocked some 7 stances of Choi Li Fut, couple yoga poses that Dr. Zoldan suggested I do daily, and hit my dumb bells for a bit.  Very nice mid afternoon body and mind break from mindless football watching. And the pace of  Goat Snake really works out with my attempted Bruce Lee philosophy of trying different schools of _______ (insert whatever) to get results you want.  There is no rigid set to follow with life, water style flow.  Whoa…. I should really get onto some relevant subject.  Or not.   Bass playing is also a part of this head and body chill out moment.  Go Bears.

I had only heard this song once before, performed on some tv show back in the early 80′s.  ONCE, I tell you, but the chorus and melody have been in my head almost daily.  Sure, i’m stretching that a little, but this song was seared into my head.   I knew the chorus from the one time listening.   I just now decided to find it, to actively look for the song, and here it is.  I had no idea it was even called waterfalls.  I thought it was called, “I need love”.  Very pretty song.  I always remembered this being performed on the show Fridays, true?

Casual…. East Bay at a very high lyrical moment. The little bell type tone rocks in my head almost daily.  Thishoweedoit!

There are 9 species of Hammer Head Sharks, 3 have been known to attack man.

I once saw a Whale Shark in Mudd Bay Olympia, Possible?  I”m pretty sure that is what I saw, a spotted fish about the size of a bus right?

Richard Pryor on the Midnight Special….. “white folks can play the shit out of some electricity”  He says this right after ELO just finished up.  Damn good show, check out the clips.

Do yourself a favor, check out… 10% Diss by MC Lyte.  Classic Goods, and while your at it, peep some Fleetwood Mac.  I can fully understand the whole Allison Krause thing now, she is like the cleaner, no cocaine being blown up her ass type.

I”m pretty sure this has come up in the blogsite before…. but I have been having these drowning dreams lately.  Not cool at all!  But in Los Corales, Venezuela 30,000 people died in flooding in just one day, well… night actually.  Mudslide style.

I was feeling old because I just turned 40, but then I realized that the earth is 4.5 million years old.  I”m doing ok.

My bitterness towards all things design seems to be fading.  Now I can head over to Chicago’s Design Corridor, don’t know about it?  Oh…. well me neither really.  Thought the hater was gone? really?

Chaka Khan…. nuff said.

Whatever, it’s fall! and Fall Rocks!

Go Banksy, Atmosphere… well, alright.

“Its important to me, that you know you are free”  Can’t really front on that.

loudly in my dream just now, rolled right into the alarm.  Nice way to wake up.  Now if I could wake up in other aspects of my life all would be swell.

yeah, its in a caddy comercial,  and commercials suck.  But when there is a nice jam goin on, and it works for your ears and mind (Hum), hopefully a distraction from what is actually being sold, it’s ok.  Well, that’s just me.  So yeah, Lindsrom and Chistabelle, Norse I think.  Norwegian Disco Beat, Nice.

Annie Lennox had it right, and I”m not just saying this because it happens to be raining again.   Saturday am work shift, gotta love it, but the bike ride to the gig should be a nice one…. i’m thinking this whole day will rock, yours should as well.  I need a new cut, a new joint as the kiddos say, almost bit it with the Black Keys but  decided that it seemed to sound two years ago Black Stripes, so say no go to that.  What will be the new sound?

I kinda like these kids, Matteson IL and some spot in Michigan.  Nice Nice.

I love that this kid is rocking this message, long overdue, and it really works because the wording is nice, and beats are smoothly rugged.  Smoothly rugged, that is just funny to me.  Been on a break, and back in full effect, much like a Mantronix song.  This might be posted in political blather, but there is no blather about this.

This is about it.  Grown Kids Radio A nice mix featuring a nice Natural Self chunk of tunes and small interview.  It was the soundtrack for my stretch session today, which included the 7 stances of Choy Li Fut.  My legs are jello at the moment.  Time to wake with the sun folks, time to create and control your happiness inputs, turn em up.  Uhmm  Guda.

I popped this Iphone app Thump into a pedal, and it sounds pretty thump.  This app lets you save songs you make, and the on board effects are just good enough for one to freak it.  I have been without a sampler for a  while now, and I’ve been thinking about getting a boss 202, but… I”m not trying to be bite.  Needing a beat source, I thought I would turn to the app store.  Did a touch of online search first and found Thump.  Funk Box is also simi neat, but for sure lacks any ability to save tracks. There are actual vintage drum machines on the app.  TR-808, TR-909, TR-606, CR-78, MRK-2, and the ER-1.  They also have a photo of whatever box you are using, cool jangy little pics.  So yeah, the short of it is, once I get the audio players back in effect, I hope to share.  That is pretty much what this space is suppose to be for me, so dangity! Lets roll.  Oh, this was not a paid promotional gibber gabber from apple, though I would like an apple, a fuji.
