Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass Psychadelia – Dust Off Your Balance Knob
I have remixed Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass’s-Green Leaves of Summer.
I had a mix of it recorded backwards that I was enjoying and Will recommended that I have it playing backwards and forwards at the same time.
I took the extra step and put the backwards recording in the left speaker and the forwards recording in the right speaker. That way you can enjoy them both or separate.

Nothing Better than a Rush drum solo to break up the blog a bit!
Go Neil go!!!!
First the Portsmouth Sinfonia and NOW I’m Hooked on The Shaggs!
You all may know of my love of the Portsmouth Sinfonia. They were an orchestral band of trained musicians who were required to play on instruments they didn’t know how to play. (It is rumored that one member of the Portsmouth Sinfonia was actually disciplined for attempting to practice!) I was drawn into this by one of it’s members, Mr. Brian Eno. Here’s a head bangin’ sample of the Portsmouth Sinfonia!
But NOW we have this band called The Shaggs.
Thanks to Huffington Post for posting this, so I don’t have to describe it. Read the article, listen to the music/video’s. (If it’s good enough for Frank Zappa it’s DEFINITELY worth a listen – even if only for a giggle). Apparently there’s a live musical, play, bit, thing about this. I’d love to see it. Once again, I’m stepping into the world of theater appreciation.

WOOOOOOO! 2 HOURS TO GO TILL THE END!!
I’m still hoping for complete and total INSTANT oblivion. Like a light switch to a dimension of nothingness!
GO NOTHING! GO NOTHING! GO NOTHING! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
My New Favorite Singer
With the recent events that surround someone I love being assaulted in such a manner that is SO offensive to me, this guy has brought a smile back to my face. I just wish I could fly him over the pond and let him sing his magic at a certain place that deserves all the Fuck, Cunt, Ass, Ass Cheeks, etc. they can get. Here is my guy singing a few shit list favorites:
GOLD!
Personal Fav:
And who can forget…
How bout a little respect fucker?
Fucker in Red. ASS CHEEKS!
Enjoy!
Quando, Quando, Quando.
I really love WMOM. Not because its a family member’s station, but because it keeps alive those things in life that just should not be forgotten.
One of these gems is Engelbert Humperdinck. Once an idol, and now a shit list favorite. Growing up, he made my granny’s (in the words of Jerri Blank) as “moist as a snack cake down there.” She would play his record all the time…Today is Englebert’s birthday and I want to give a shout out to all those grannies in the world whom during the driest part of their years, could still bring on the showers for some hot Engelbert Humperdinck meat. HA!
Who Hurt You Lionel?
Don’t know if you’ve ever seen this before, but I think its awesome. I may take up where this person left off. Maybe post it in bagel/coffee shops…community bulletin boards…hipster hangouts, etc.
Bootylicious
During the opening craze of the start up of American Idolism, the WB network had put out a show called Superstar USA which turned out to be a big prank gone wrong. I detest shows like American Idolism. I think they really detract people from opening up to all sorts of music and talented musicians they might otherwise overlook. But I think the folks over there at WB came up with a good reason as to why the music industry today is what it is.
WARNING: Listen at your own risk.
The judges critique at the end of Jamie’s (the winner) performance really nailed it for me. Enjoy!
The sad part about it is that if you put some auto tune on it and mixed it to death, it would be #1 on I-Tunes.
HELLO my geeky, radio, shortwave, internet, audio, gadget, computer and electronics friends!!!
Hello my friends in geekdom,
This was really crazy but I stumbled over this article:
http://www.archive.org/details/ird059
and it really “freaked me out” (because I’ve heard these sounds before. A lot of it! In some very interesting musical contexts). I’ve never known about this, but there is this thing called “Numbers Stations” that are broadcast on shortwave radio as a way to communicate to international spies and stuff. Thankfully, somebody has collected and posted some of this stuff to the Internet. I listened to some of the samples and I recognized sounds that were used in various recordings of music that I enjoy such as obscure stuff like ChromaKey, Brian Eno, etc.. As we all know my taste in music is poop anyway, but I’m curious if any of it sounds familiar to any of you? I just thought this was interesting, and I know I have super geeky friends out there that would find this “neato” as well.
I hope for comments here. You don’t need to be a member to comment on the article. I wont Spam you or track you down on Facebook (as I refuse to have one).
I want any opinions on it for example: “yeah! know all about this”, or “Chad why don’t you find something to do”, or “… of course i knew this you idiot”.
NOTE: you may not use any of the above comments.
Cheers and stuff,
Chad
