A year ago today.

Well known and well explored is Badnoise, a guy with the name Juha and a dusty 7" record that has remained a classic since the Hall Rockin' compilation [(1996) Lansdowne Junior High year book]. He was persistent and industrious enough to make the internet. Badnoise was the year of the Expo. It's a bit of 'where are you going' rock which has long since worked it's way under my skin. What can I say except the same things over and over again?

Badnoise - Funky Baby


Mission Beach; a hypothetical 'internal' cognitive symbol that represents external reality.

Weak

Short of commenting on greater musical trends, I present a package that can only lead to one thing: discovery. This isn't the latter, just the former, and in reality 'discovery' just means a brushing off of something dusty yet well known and well explored. But let's leave that for another post.

So here I am, with two tracks from '76 & '77. Each is shrouded in it's own fog of confusion, and merits significant research or 'internet time spent'. Maybe time for me to stop waiting and just shave?

Dennis Wilson - Companion

Gary Wilson - And Then I Kissed Your Lips

Michael Barclay, David Barclay and the 160 Barclay bus.

Taking Back the House

There are a few people I wish I could see tonight. Maybe two or three. Actually probably more around ten of them. In fact, I can think of at least twenty. Some of them I miss, some of them I love and some of them I just want to know a little better. There are a whole bunch that I would like to talk with and a few that I would like to play music with. Others could entertain, collaborate, sing or make a few recommendations. This is me listening to Adrian Teacher and his band Apollo Ghosts in my apartment and feeling this way:

Apollo Ghosts - Land of the Morning Calm

Madmen have no ears.

This post will conclude this holiday/seasonal serial concept. After this, I will resume posts inspired by my intense personal life and occasional amazing live music experience (ALME) or amazing live music experience at the Che Cafe (ALMECC). Consequently, I present the most haunting and beautiful of all melodies. Herein is a tune to slash the collective face of Brian Eno subscribers and 'non-linear' editing purists.

Baden Powell - Manha de Carneval
