"Babe-ra-ham Lincoln's birthday Saturday 12 Feb 22; facebook
told me John LINCOLN Coughlin ("Preacher jack")
WOULD have been 80, like "saint Paul" this year...BUT,
after Tastee Burger in Harvard Square (yes it was!) and walking
past where my Spencer and my Blodgett ancestors were in the 1630s,
Puritan Newtowne, Gee Julie and I went to the Brattle Thee-ate-er,
Harold and Maude 915 pm. My Brattle membership
STILL had free admissions ("that's a bargain"- Carl Biancucci,
O. Rextasy, 1974) BUT they don't take cash, only cards, so add some
interest to that coffee and popcorn (oi'm payin' moin on thuh never-never,
ole chap!). Ok we all seen this dang movie umpty-nine tymes BUT
finally there IS a soundtrack with all those Cat Stevens songs off
Mona Boke jakon and Tea for Tillerman, my two
Cat fave albums before I bought Funhouse.
Funhouse bought $3.49 Vince's record store, Brockport NY Main Street
but before I "turned" punk, Vince was playing this Cat
Stevens bootleg, SO good, I even purchased it THEN back in da day
when I could only afford ONE record (well, the bargain bins were
excellent, but..)...As I sat with two cups of coffee listening to
WHRB jazz, I googled the Cat Stevens album CATNIP. Discogs
says one for sale $8.00, lowest; $4.99, highest $20! https://theamazingkornyfonelabel.wordpress.com
lists "all kindsa facts, all kindsa facts" about this
album in exact record collector talk, so Miss Lyn WILL take her
excedrin….let's just say set list is those two cat lps also
in Harold and maude great Nixon-era 'nam music!"....

"Dienstag ides of February 2022. time to review another track
from I am Not Gone volume two, Asa brebner cd.
"you wont know me" by Fireking.
Tony kacynski does all the instruments except drums and
even plays a CHAMBERLIN (Wikipedia says was prototype of the mellotron).
ok my notes and this tune has MANY pop references which is Tony's
forte, not mine. 'intro: Cheap Trick playing "Heroes and Villians".
a I-IV-V like "born to run". melodic Ted Niemiec (Gizmos)
vocals; more Cheap Trick. Beatles ending". If I were Seymour
Stein, I would call this guy at the Rat and sign him to Sire!".....

"day of Wodin 16 feb 22. STILL lissenin' to my six-song 12
inch VINYL of Sugar Hill label GREAT RAP HITS.
song five is "SuperWolf Can do it" (youtube).
recorded at Ardent studios, where my cuzzin Linda garreau and I
went by in '98 Memphis and Big Star recorded first album (I got
a 1972 fanzine mag promo copy, probably c/o Jon Tiven, whom I met
the once in '74). "Super wolf can do it", 1980 release,
highest bid: $75! all for male braggadocio echoing Bo Diddley's
"I'm a man" or Johnny and the Jumper cables "I'm
a Giz". http://musicrareobscure,blogspot.com
has all kindsa info,all kindsa info. (a blog called RARE AND OBSCURE
MUSIC; my alley,cat!). So "who sampled" always fun and
that is "I'm so hot" by denise lasalle, who also happen
to be MARRIED to "Wolf"; share them royalties! Lastly,
a gaze at discogs shows denise Lasalle doing a 1966 soul 45 "A
love reputation" on Chicago label Tarpon whilst "James
A. Wolf" was kinda a early rap "one-hit wonder'...NOW
you see why I had a TWO part Ugly Things interview!
Details,man, details".....

"Dienstag ides of February 2022. 0500-0800 Rick Biskit
Roth does a spectacular show name If Six was Nine
(which ALWAYS sounds awesome, if,like me, you've been watching easy
Rider since "early 1970"). trackblaster sayd I musta woke
up 0600 that day and....AFTER 0612 I tuned into that GREAT Nazz
b-side "Under the Ice" which maybe I bought circa 1973
AND almost fiddy years later is awesome with all of it's neo-Who
drumming....0617: "Winter Song" by Nico off Chelsea Girl
with John Cale on viola,organ and guitar...the viola AND the melancholy
vocal MAKES it; 'Nuff said! (when the velvets banana album first
came out I was still reading marvel Comics; why change?!) 0637:
"Snowblind' from Black Sabbath volume four! Solomon gruberger
and I saw Sabbath, February '74, Rochester NY war memorial (a hockey
rink) with Bedlam opening up and THEN hitchhiked back to Brockport
NY! Who DID give a ride to those O.Rex members? There's a 1978 youtube
of this song and Ozzy still wearing the California jam fringe jacket
and throwing the peace sign "A Sky Saxon for the '70s",I
quipped (had I heard Future Seeds by then? It's "out of the
question"!)….0653, Moby grape live at Monterey 6 June
67 doin' "Sittin by the window"; again Solomon gruberger
traded me ALL FIVE Moby Grape 45s circa 1973,which is three years
before I joined "The marines, Him?"; bassist Bob Mosely
quit the Grape after four albums and did nine months in the Korps...I
mean Corps!...well THAT was a great hour of coffee before shower
and work AND you can even listen to the archives for up to two weeks!"...
