Almost done! :) Those geeky enough to notice URLs will realize that I'll be all caught up with the one after 909... flowsheet 30909, that is!
This was a fine show. I haven't gotten the astrology thing totally polished, but it went close to how I wanted it,
and I did get a couple friendly calls afterwards from the astrology fans. Next Friday I'll tell ya about the coming Mercury retrograde, and I'll do it some time after 8pm Eastern time. Got 3 excellent requests that helped pull it all together. The Stones request was actually for Gimme Shelter, but due to the prolificity of the Stones, my dearth of knowledge regarding their discography, and our live broadcast, we got "Dancin' With Mr. D" from Goatshead Soup which actually, I think was better, mainly because while I was playing it, I realized how rarely
that Stones tune gets played anymore, and it seems to have the same Gimme Shelter feel... of course, I'm not a Stones fan, and so I really have no idea. I enjoyed it.
Note:
Temple City Kazoo Orchestra!!!!!
HAIL TONY REDMAN!
To be perfectly honest, it was really, really hard to post this link for Way Out Junk. It's a genuine treasure trove. Tony provides us sound geeks with priceless gems, so I was kinda wanting to horde up his blog url, but the reuniting with my long-lost Temple City Kazoo Orchestra can not go unrecognized. Please visit and hail accordingly. ...and if you're so motivated, tell him Richard sent you! (Of course, with myspace's weird-ass new hyperlink policy, you may not even be able to get to it, anyway, since they've made a blanket decision to label certain mostly-innocuous free domains as "malicious" (i.e., all geocities url return a "malicious site" screen), with no consideration of the site's actual content.)
Since myspace has dispensed with the "Currently Listening to" feature, I guess because of some commercial thing with Amazon, please know that the new compilation on Moulty, "
Boston Underground 1978-1982" is worthy.

Stuff on there I may otherwise have forgotten forever--and that would have been a real loss--now collected and easily obtainable on one CD. To my ears, it successfully portrays the sound coming out of the Boston scene at the time. I resisted the urge to grab the Mission of Burma, but I wasn't able to completely contain the 1982 flashback, as I led into it with Gang of Four. And yes, I
was dancing with myself while I did it.
