The The - Soul Mining

"Uncertain Smile"

Sure sounds a LOT like this..

Thompson Twins - Quick Step And Side Kick

"If You Were Here"

It's one of "those" nights.

Enjoying the day...for what it was. Sitting by a computer with my bass on my lap. Noodling...remembering...and of course understanding the spiderwebs that brought that artist to that point by whom they were inspired by. Noodling...imbibing...remembering...noodling...lather rinse repeat...LMK.

Kalapana - Reunion

One of the most popular Local Contemporary music groups in Hawaii back in the mid-70s to maybe mid-80s.

74F / 69% RH / 23 mph winds with gusts up to 35

Van Halen - Zero: Gene Simmons Demo 1976

"House Of Pain"

This was the demo tape that got them signed with Warner. Gene signed them, had them record at Electric Lady and gave Dave those leather pants you see him wearing on the back cover of their 1st album. He released them because he knew Warner would do a better job than him.

Crown Lands - White Buffalo

"Context: Fearless Pt. I"

Newer band giving Rush fans something to smile about.

A new find that I discovered by seeing them last Friday with King Buffalo.


The Swell Fellas - Novaturia

"Caesura (Intro) - Wet Cement"

Rolling Stones - El Mocambo 1977

Another "Thank you Hawaii State Library System" borrow. Didn't even know this album existed until checking out what the library had.

73F / 75% RH / 24 mph winds with gusts up to 33

Various Artists - New York Stories

"Dolly's Ditty"

Danny Gatton on guitar

Gotta crack up at the "new" lyrics:

The Kinks. Give the people what they want...

Arc Angels. Man. Saw them two nights in a row at a dive club. Friday had maybe 20 people. Saturday the fire marshal tried to close it down.
