"Saturday 19 Feb 22. 8 pm . KENdall Cinema; Drive
My Car. Gee Julie picked this one
coz "oh! it's from japan". They're doing a version of
Chekhov's Uncle vanya in Japanese; I went with my last wife to see
louis malle's Vanya on 42nd street (1994).
Wikipedia
will tell you the confusing plot; it IS a very surreal three-hour
movie BUT recommended! What I DID learn was there was a Korean actor
whom could read Japanese and subtitles said "Japanese and Korean
have the same grammer"....and the director of the play has
a young lady drive him around thus "drive my car"...I
no no, you have to see it, senior price $12.50!"....

"Sonntag 20 feb 22. Asa I Am Not Gone Volume Two;
this week I review "Idle hands" by George Hall
and Friends. and what friends! George
and Archbishop Enema Fetish played Jumping Jack
flash ("Dead boston club"), Tim Jackson
drummed in the band that tyme forgot and Russ Gershon
played sax in Sex execs whom I saw at "Dead Boston Club",
Storyville (banned in '83! maybe my first banned club...)...ok,
sorry, I been a guitar player since Gizmas '70 and George hall iz
George Ballz on dis! Intro is Paul Kosoff playing "you shook
me all right Now" in G and touches of Beatles "Rain";
I LOVE the I-IV-VII chorus! (kinda Stones-y). George's solo he uses
the whammy bar on his Strat and then it goes into Kaptain Kopter
Whirley Byrds version of Beatles "Rain" (I THINK Randy
California did some whammy bar Beatles song; either way, you get
my drift). Also some traces of early '70s Ritchie Blackmore, but
again, a Strat (versus "before the Kiss,a red cap"). Cub's
Koda at end is Russ gershon on a baritone sax echoing the ass end
of T. rex's "Rip off"....this is some DAMN gut scheiss!
Ich hast sprechen!"....(lissen

'day of Wodin 24 feb 22. song six of The Great Rap Hits
on Sugar Hill, five dollar 12 inch 45 at Somerville
Grooves, that's .83333 cents per song! try buying 45s like
that! (I usually get the quarter ones). So we got "Rapper's
Delight" by Sugar
Hill Gang WHICH I heard on the WNTN disco show the
Tuesday or the Wednesday (I forget)...a mention of "kay-o-pectate'
right after Grecian Echoes! ok, so they stole the riff from Chic's
"Good Times" BUT Chic claim they were "inspired'
by Kool and the gang's "Hollywood Swinging", released
Saturday 6 april 74; that particular night I was watching the Dictators
at the Coventry in Queena!".....

"Monntag 21 Feb 22. 1100 WNTN radio 1550M. The Armenian
Hour! heard a I-II-III-II-1 riff kinda like "beck's
Bolero" on oud which I gladly played along with (B-C-D-C-B
second istring; try it!) Then, "lazing on a Sunny Afternoon"
ken and Gee Julie went to High Energy Vintage "vintage
store" 429 Somerville Avenue, like
them on Facebook! (and
watch their video!)it's ALMOST Store 54 sans Wayne Podworthy!
Clothes...I'd rather buy a Moby Grape album with "naked if
I want to'...you cant wear records BUT if I could....4/$10 classic
rock albums, one dollar Chilean pop singer casettes (SOOOOOO tempted)
but what "Really Got Me": $14 hank Williams e.p.s with
picture sleeves! And other collectible 45s....Good stuff TOO numerous
to mention...it's Somerville grooves BUT TWO used record stores
in the 02143 zip code? Like Cheap trick sing "do you want to
go to Heaven Tonight?"....and LAST: Arax Market in
Watertown, mass.....yes I DID have early Watertown settlers
here BUT this Armenian store has all kinda great food from Armenia/Greece/
Lebanon/ middle east in general; even Brttish candies! A "import
store' if you will....BUT amidst the Armenian "merch"
is the Mali 'evil eye' pendant! I got one from Aybike Celik, so
mine is a TURKISH evil eye, but I guess its all the same that part
of the world...what a fun "Holiday....such a holiday..."....
