"Freitag 26 August 2022. Missed the Stigmatics six pm set at the Jungle since that is "when i get off' (work) but Tokyo Tramps were as a duo AND with Al hendry on drums. Yukiko DID play a jack bruce bass and Satoru told a Kenne length tale about playing memphis then driving hour and half south where "Highway 61" and "Highway 49" interersect (both old blues toons!) where Robert Johnson alledgedly sold soul to der Teufel; it was a VERY small country road intersection! well, now I know! The Crossroads in brockport NY is due north of the bergen Swamp. mad painter sounded like Deep Purple's made in japan on steroids! LOVE those early (6-9 pm) shows!

"somerville theater $18.00 double feature senior discount. 720 pm day of wodin 24 august 2022. do the right thing and crooklyn. my favourite part of do the right thing is Radio blasting out Public Enemy on his '80s boom box (oh wait this IS an '80s movie!) Ghetto blaster? ah need a TRAILER blaster! Crooklyn has a great 1973 Soul Train era soundtrack (I was hangin' in Coney Island wit O. rex then!) but what seems incongrous is a family of colour GLEEFULLY singing along with "i woke up in love this morning" as Patridge family is on the "TV eYE"/ "mEAN SCREEN"".....
