Monday February 1, 2015 "let's lead off the week with some music news: 845 pm, 21 may 16, chetstock, HOPELESSLY OBSCURE for 1/2 an hour, this JUST in from Tontileo. Jonathan Behar, from the land of the Kiwi, next to the land of the TAZZES (that's New Zai-land in Kenglish) wrights: "you're British now!" (well, i DO descend from those bluidy colonists that were on where the action usedta be, but besides that) "where's the new wave now? a collection of UK New Wave rarities...track 21 out of 24 (Music to Open Fire at Lexington and Concord By!): Mad at the World, the Korps, 1978"...by jove, as sure as Ken Kaiser and I had ancestors in the Ann (second fleet of mayflower), we shall have Lt. Matthew Allin at Dorchester Heights! (ancestor of Kevin and merle) opening FIRE!..all joking and shot heard 'round world aside, Kaiser and I HAVE been bootlegged, but dang, if the music got to the land of Kiwis (and I DID do an Oz Dogmeat record), all I need is a Taz fan and the sun NEVER sets on Kenne Highland records! (Flensburg uber alles!)".
after attending Anglican church services with resident feline Simon
Katz (to whom I fed some cheese!), I then went to ye Puritan Harvard Square
where my Puritan ancestors would have had a full afternoon of church, but, as
a Royalist, following King Charles BOOK OF SPORT, I had "fun" at the
"theater" on the "Sabbath"! angela sawyer from weirdo
records at ticket counter and John Funke from WMBR discussing
MOJAVE and Marky Mark (cuzzin to nate hawthorne, whose ancestor hung
ye witches in salem!) and his BAD Boston accent in this Hollywood movie. I was
told this only got one star; perhaps...psycho killer in desert stalks Hollywood
actor, so kinda PSYCHO scary, Mojave desert (isn't that what begat Beefheart
and Zappa?) and a lotta clichés plus I fell asleep the first half hour
of a 93 minute movie. I DO like the ending, coz, cliché, Russian roulette
between psycho and actor, so even more cliché, THE GOOD GUY WINS. actually,
I might prefer Bollywood action films, at least after an explosion or a firefight,
the break out into song and dance...had a better tyme readin' rock bios at Harvard
coop (and like that dude in the outer limits, i read it once and it's MEMORIzED!
did you know Beatle George's mother was an Irish catholic from Wexford, which
I think is where the Kennedys hailed from so, goin' back to Coast to Coast (ALWAYS!)
if Britain was pissed they'd lost their colonies and sent the beatles over to
"dumb down America", WAS the plot formed in Wexford between George's
and JFK's kin or am I too busy putting out lit doobies, brother in altoids tins?"..... Tuesday February 2, 2015 "Coast to coast AM 0200, check THIS topic: The Supernatural: a new vision of the unexplained by whitley scrieber and Jeffrey Kridal. OWLS was a topic; Ma say a hoot owl on the ole Blodgett farm for three days before my stepfather died, but I got a good hoot owl tale...2008, my birthday, staying at Inn on Mexican War street, a splendid bed and breakfast, north side Pittsburgh they had free passes to the national aviary, 700 arch street, Pittsburgh ("fur and feathers"; lotsa birds, and fur represented by a SLOTH!). 1910 census has Dad's teenage father living at 1212 palo alto, which is 1/5 of a mile in 4 seconds from the National Aviary! also 7/10th of a mile from Andy Warhol museum; the McBees were in North Side from dad's grandparents 1894 marriage til 1930 dee-troit census, so a lotta history PLUS when they displayed the hoot owl at aviary to a group of deaf children, he got riled up and flew towards me! good thing the handler had him on a leash, since coast to coast mentioned how mysterious, wise and VICIOUS owls are! maybe they're Scorpios?"....
