Tuesday August 12 , 2014 "My cable's shut off/I'm wicked bored", so I stopped into Lorem Ipsum bookstore in Inman Square; rock bios and facts: Jen Trynin (Everything I'm Cracked Up To Be) heard Joni Mitchell's BLUE at a young age (born 1964), even met her, i think, and her account of the 1990s Middle East scene is quite interesting, as I was kinda there....but a book on Irish Rock is what I LOVE! Irish "beat groups" i never heard of (HOPELESSLY Obscure?), Rory Gallagher in a showband!; THEM, T'in Lizzy (Phil Lynott was Brazilian/Irish?) and (GARY) moore! let's give a shoutout to scottish and welsh bands too! even my favourite British rockers had Celtic roots! (i'll maybe Blodgett about that later) also my era, from couple other rock bios: John Rotten, No dogs/No irish; first Sex Pistols gig november '75; sunday 30 november, interview/spliff wid Toots maytal; meet Ted Niemeiec friday 5 november and Bob "Bear Bryant" Richert declares "you should have a band called the Gizmos". REM bio: first B-52s gig valentine's day,'77; Highland meets Kaiser friday 11 feb 77, jam on first Ramones album,"I play better than Ace Frehely!" and i joined the marines "because i wanted to kill people.". first REM gig 5 april 80; me in trailer in Charleston, SC jammin' on "freebird"! with fellow Marines ...BUT tuesday 9 sept 80, Highland/Kaiser, Underground Allston as the Heroes! uh, i think REM sold better records.....but we made better music! AND we're WJIB lisseners!".... Wednesday August 13, 2014
Thursday August 14, 2014 if you read my Facebook status, "Everyday" (Buddy Holly), I always have a Ken Kaiser WJIB song of the day, an oldie that COULDA been on Hello World,if done Ramones-style. SO, important Gizmos news: tonight (thursday auguste (pages) whatever the fuck: Mr and Mrs Rich Coffee as Swamp Gospel open up for THE SONICS (who wrote Sator's "Kiss of a rat") in Vegas! so whatever gigs in Vegas, stays in Vegas! and i applied for a mess-a vacation tyme for Gizmos in Memphis/NJ/NY/Boston/Ohio/Chcag-y and read Gizmos world tour for updates!"

also, a birthday shoutout to Chelsea McBee, who one helluva banjo picker from shepherdstown, west virginny (kinda near mah cuzzin Martha Hull); I keep on researchin' Dad's real father's line (who was a McBee) and found a LOT of country/bluegrass/blues/jazz muscians with the McBee name, which coulda been mine if my grandparents married. Been lookin' at retirement property on Paw Paw Creek Road, Fairview, west virginny, population 435, our 1850-1880 ancestral home; right on Paw Paw Creek AND 8 miles from Grant Town, WV and the "Grant town Goon", a Bigfoot-type critter"....they got UFOs down there too! and ghosts!"..... SaturdayAugust 16, 2014 Miss Lyn at Handymen, Plough and Stars, Gee Julie ALSO in Cambridge, avant-garde jazz. Me: 48 hour week = WRCA 1330 AM on a friday night! 10 pm is an old radio show or something, radio "geeks" discussing old Philcos etc.; program guide says "nostalgia", then almost all night long was Danny Stiles (RIP), Vicar of Vintage Vinyl playing 78s on Savoy from 1934 and mentioning Johnny Hodges...(c'mon, man, I was KINDA sleepin') THEN 5 Am, also WRCA, country oldies..."and here's Charlie's Pride first hit from 1964"....gotta google that....though after some coffee; WHRB and Hillbilly at Harvard! George Jones and Melba Montgomery's "we musta been out of our minds"! then an alt-country about a guy at a cafe thinkin' 'bout his baby left him and a-drinkin'...COFFEE?????? what the sam hell has happened to red-blooded, white-trashed, blue-tooth american males? but i fergive him coz it were a "whole lot" of coffee! shee-it...tahm to put on mah Duck Dynasty shorts 'round the tray-ler"...... Just to be a FANATIC; the old radio show on WRCA 1330 AM is called TUBE TALK, so if you're an antique radio geek, what a talk show! also on that web page is the Country Oldies cats which is DIFFRENT from Bob Bittner WJIB 740 AM and HIS Sunday morning oldies and if you REALLY are fanatic, WNYR, rochester, NY was what Big Al Baase's (RIP) dad (RIP) would be lissenin' to as we went up to Rock On headquarters (Al's room) and lissend to latest Untied artists promo lps c/o Greg Shaw who worked there (ca. '72). ALSO, once up to Ma's, picked up WSM, Nashville so if y'all wanna hear country on the AM and drivin' a Detroit-made America First pickup truck with Duck Dynasty shorts AND beard.....well, hellfire, THAT's the real deal, just like me OR Bill Deal and the Rhondells (wont go into my love of Beach Music or Miss Lyn will merely explode thinking about......RECORDS!!!!!!!!!!!! (cars and gurls second!)....".
