what are you listening to?

Tough schedule there bud....been there, done that for longer than I care to remember....

Purely a case of any income being better than no income. Working for half a former wage is my consequence for telling a manager to get knotted. My current pay rate pretty much requires a 14 hour day to meet expenses. If I wanted to do something extravagant like replenishing my retirement fund I need to put in more hours than that.


Whenever I think of this, I am reminded of Monty Python's sketch "Four Yorkshiremen". They keep trying to outdo each other in how hard things were for them. On the topic of how long they had to work each day, Eric Idle's character says "Right, I had to get up a half an hour before I went to bed".

I picked up the Rheem Califone 1450A for free, took me two minutes to get it working. Old blues records sound special on this for some reason

There's something about the sound of a ceramic cart and a tube amp...
Newcomb R124: I play 45s on mine.
Califone hint: models ending with "5" have variable speed / pitch control. None of these classroom phonos have accurate speed.

This one surprised me because I had a preconceived notion of what it would sound like. I knew about The Fluorescent Leach and Eddie, that they were in (or were) The Turtles and that they most recently performed what I interpreted to be a novelty/comedy musical act. So what I was expecting was some Turtle-ish sounding parody songs. I was quite mistaken and it seems that they too have a Frank Zappa connection. It was them in fact, and nothing to do with Geronimo Black (some of them were The Mothers of Invention), who needed a new gig when Frank was laid low from a car accident. Seems that for contractual reasons, they could not perform or release recorded material as The Turtles or use their own names. Since they were billed within the Mothers of Invention as The Fluorescent Leach and Eddie, that's the name they released new music under.

I guess when this album came out it may have been considered "experimental" but this is my first time hearing it and to me it sounds like intelligent, well crafted jazz/folk/rock/fusion. I also felt the melodies of some tracks actually invoked an image or feeling. Was kind of amazed actually and will be looking for more of their stuff.

My camera is on it's last legs and I think the macro's crapping out.

Dead Kennedys~ Original Singles Collection(Manifesto/ 2014). A bit of speculation as to whether all of the tracks in the collection are from the original tapes as claimed. My copies are glossy, flat, quiet and a fun spin if you like DK music. Let me know if you need a copy of this as I have a couple to sell/ trade.
