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.

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.

Randall’s narration of nature footage always makes me laugh. Here he’s doing the 80’s cartoon Jem (which I can honestly say I never watched – I’m merely aware of its wretched existence). I think Randall sort of “jumps the shark” here. The reason why? NOT ENOUGH SWEARING! If he peppers his delivery with the occasional “fuckin” or “bastard” or “shit”, it’s so much better. I think this is meant for children’s TV. In which case, it seems we’re gaying the kids out at a young age aren’t we? HE

I’m still hoping for complete and total INSTANT oblivion. Like a light switch to a dimension of nothingness!
