I watched my first State of the Union address.

What a fucking ordeal/cringefest. (I desreve a medal)

Is it always like that?

Trump's BS aside, it was littered with people sporting various  leg injuries

who were obliged to stand up.

Even the 100 year old dude was subjected to this shit.

One finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg, one nod of the head

Stand up, turn round, sit down keep moving

We'll all be merry and bright

Progglådan Box C: Folkprogg & Sjungande låtskrivare

(folk progg & singing songwriters)

CD 307

Röda Bönor

Röda bönor (a Swedish pun meaning both "red beans" and "red chicks")

was a feminist progg band from Lund formed in the mid 1970s.

Their most famous recording is probably 'Oh, Carol'.

(a parody of the Neil Sedaka song)

I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Upbeat folky tunes with great vocals.

Clark Ashton Smith

Genius Loci and other tales (1948)

Clark Ashton Smith (January 13th 1893 – August 14th 1961)

was an American fantasy/sci-fi/horror writer and also an artist/poet.

The fantasy writer and critic L. Sprague de Camp said of him

that "nobody since Poe has so loved a well-rotted corpse"

Smith c.1912:

One of the 'big three' from the Weird Tales magazine

along with Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft.

I used to have a copy of the paperback

with the startling cover art but that has long-since vanished.

My old, comparatively understated, hardback edition provides ample consolation:

The main thing I really like about Clark's writing

is his extraordinary ability to describe landscapes.

The eponymous tale is a particularly notable example of this talent.

trivia corner:

I plagiarized the title 'The Ninth Skeleton' for an instrumental back in the 80s.

Summer’s End Festival

The Drill Hall

Chepstow, Wales

October 6th 2017

Reposted from December 2023

iamthemorning are a Russian duo:

Pianist Gleb Kolyadin and vocalist Marjana Semkina.

I have seen them play a few times including this gig.

They often, as here, have other musicians in the band.

It's an audience recording which I have remastered.

Slightly marred by talkers, laughers and power-clappers but still a very nice listen.

I'm having one of those "where does all the time go?" moments over this concert :)

El Topo (1970)

Written, scored, starring and directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky.

It's a baffling tale with dark pseudo-religious overtones.

This Mexican "acid Western" has become something of a cult classic.

It has some violent and disturbing content so not for the faint-hearted.

Optional subtitles included:

English, Italian, Arabic, French, German, Greek, Spanish,

Swedish, Portuguese and Portuguese (Brazil)

Others available on request.

Romantic Warriors IV: Krautrock (part 3)

The last DVD from this brilliant series.

I posted the others some time ago but never got around to this one.

Maybe because my copy has embedded Greek subtitles :)

This episode features artists from Berlin and Hamburg

including Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Günter Schickert,

Agitation Free, Conrad Schnitzler, A.R. & Machines and Nektar.

Lemmy - White Line Fever (2002)

Ian Fraser Kilmister's autobiography.

It's a great read especially for Hawkwind and Motörhead fans.

The book could have benefitted from more vintage photographs

but there are a few included.

This was Lemmy's favourite pic:

His holiness:

Aged four (we were all young once!):

Episode 68

June 24th 1971

I don't have episode 67 (May 22nd 1971}

so if anybody can share that one I'd be very grateful.

This is an interesting edition.

John Lawton (later of Uriah Heep) fronting German band Lucifer's Friend

and ex-Deep Purple bassist Nick Simper's Warhorse with Ashley Holt on vocals.

Ashley later worked extensively with Rick Wakeman.

Wakeman had also done a brief stint in Lucifer's  Friend

so I guess that was the genesis of their collaborations.

There's also footage of Grand Funk Railroad which I think is from Shea Stadium

and a piece from the Bremer Studio Orchestra.

The section on ex-Vietnam soldiers in Sweden is a curiosity.

As a youngster I was awe struck by reports on the news.

They said things like "American troops were attacked by gorillas

who came out of the jungle". WOW!!!

I figured it out eventually.

The Man Who Could Work Miracles (1936)

The classic British fantasy comedy.

Directed by Lothar Mendes and produced by Alexander Korda.

It was adapted from a short story by H. G. Wells.

Optional subtitles are included in Arabic, French, English,

Greek, Portuguese, Spanish, Polish, Italian and German.

Other languages are available on request.

I've been dabbling in creating subtitles.

The Frau Luxor says the German ones are not bad.

Be interesting to know how the others read.

I guess the job of translator has pretty much disappeared.

Roy Buchanan- American Axe Tracks Volume Ten

The final volume of this Roy collection is four CDs of extras/rarities.

Here is the first part.

it's probably only worthwhile for the most curious or devoted Roy fans.

to play the role of Sergeant Neil Howie but Edward Woodward would.

I'll have a look at some older shows soon 

All I did here was make the CD covers.

I was waiting for 'Stargazer' LOL.

Can you tell I'm a bit out of my comfort zone here? :)
