Denny À Go-Go
Planet Xtabay is À Go-Go-ing. "You take your basic island Denny show, add some of the energy of the early sixties "go-go" generation and there you have it. Hand clapping, hip swiveling lounge music with an island context. Destined to get you on the floor doing the Frug, the Monkey and even in the more knowing circles, the Watusi. ..." (From the liner notes)Martin Denny - Hawaii A Go-Go (scroll down a little on that page...)
J-Walk Blog Fuck Experiment
Updated: Maybe the results of this experiment will enlighten us of other ways to know when we're fucked.

Roger McGuinn Blogs
"... When we walked into the small studio, Dolly got just as excited at seeing Roger’s guitar as his fans do when they see it. While Roger tuned up, Dolly, her assistant Judy, who has been her friend since childhood, and myself talked girl talk. Our conversation went to age. There was a time when women never discussed their age, but I think we baby boomers are just shocked that we’re over 50. Dolly and Judy laughed about their upcoming joint 60th birthday party. ..."

Flick Themes '72
Snowday has ripped another interesting thrift store vinyl find and put it online (as one big zip file).This time it is 'Flick Themes '72' as played by an uncredited band.
Snowbag tells us: "... some of the versions are perfectly competent orchestrations, and a couple have vocals. "Cabaret," however, seems to be a bit heavy on the kazoo—although some people might find that a wacky plus. ..."
Hm... Sounds interesting enough. :-)

Sun Ra's Pink Elephants
Enjin tells us: "In 1941 Disney released Dumbo, an animation I didn't get to see until much later during my childhood in the 80s. The most memorable scene for me was the Pink Elephants sequence. Fast forward to my early adulthood of about 20 when I immersed myself in Sun Ra and his Arkestra, who just happened to make their own rendition of the Pink Elephant song. And so today, while feeling a bit nostalgic, I synched the Pink Elephant animation from the original Dumbo movie with Sun Ra's music version. It gives it a much different feel than the original song. View it sunrapinkelephants.mov (17mb, qt). " (via Boing Boing)
Jochem plays his guitar
Remember Daan Gijsman the 10 year old comic artist with his own website? I told you he had an (identical) twin brother. Well, that's Jochem and he specializes in another field of art: music (ha!)Father Gijsman has a small recording studio and has decided to record a CD of Jochem's progress each summer. The first one is posted now at the download section of my children's website:

Week 21: Fake
Arriving a little late again.
This delay was not urged through by the HTMPL Productions to cause you alarm, stress or even heart burn. The HTMPL office is a place of order and discipline. We have are habits. We have our rites.
However, we felt like you needed some good hours to digest the arrival of our latest collected efforts.
Off we go for a one and a half month descent into the shadow world of things that may not always be what they seem to be. The world of fakes and old-fashioned WWII propaganda. As we’re such nice fellows you will also get a bonus single at the end of this that has nothing to do with the themes but it’ll be something that’s so rare, it has never been re-released nor will it ever be, it will put at tear of joy in the eye of the collectors of this secretive band (and now you have all the clues you need).
It might not come as any surprise that we’re old punks here at the office, dating back to the heydays of the late 1970s. We might not look it any longer but our hearts still beats to the rhythm of 'Sheena Is A Punkrocker'. To us there’s not a punkband out there that ever could hold a candle to the Ramones or Sex Pistols. Well, the Ramones was really the greatest popband ever – sod the Beatles. As for the Pistols they were the ultimate punkband. But we won’t bore you with repeating their story yet another time. As we went through the archives there turned up the odd fake Pistol song now and then so we just gathered them up to take a closer look at what this really was.
The Sex Pistols had a sound man named Dave Goodman (who recently died by the way). After the band had called it quits a legal fury around the rights to the recordings aroused, tying up the band with their manager in court for years on end. As the legal difficulties went on Dave stepped into the vacuum. Releasing and repackaging what seemed like a never ending run of shoddy bootlegs with lousy sound, there’s at least fifty of these around. As if this wasn’t enough he sometimes sneaked in a track that claimed to be a never before released original by the Sex Pistols.
The first of these recordings would also turn out to be the best: Land of Hope & Glory (1984). Packaged to look like the real thing, but actually reading the ex pistols, it’s not that bad. The fellow on vocals is David Spiers from the Sinix, along with another band member on guitar. All recorded sometime around 1980. The next track turned up a year later on Live Worlwide (1985). 'Anarchy in the UK' with a piano, but this is not quite a fake, although its definitely not the Pistols, its actually Public Image Ltd doing their cabaret version live on 'The Tube' in 1983. Supposedly Dave just taped it off the telly and stuck it in there. Then there’s the more obvious sounding fakes like 'Schools Are Prison' (Pirates of Destiny, 1988) and Revolution in the Classroom ('We Have Cum For Your Children', 1988). The same year the double-LP 'The Swindle Continues' turned up with yet another bunch of faked tunes: 'Judging Minds', 'Dancing on the Dole' and an acoustic version of 'Anarchy in the UK', that’s not even a half-assed effort to imitate, likewise goes for the title track. Here’s also a medley called 'Sex on 45' which, once again, features the Sinix with Dave on bass. In later years former Pistols bass player Glen Matlock has admitted that he was involved in at least some of the above recordings. Needing the cash and blaming drunkenness. And that’s pretty much it. Worth mentioning otherwise, so that you don’t make the mistake of buying it, is the 'Live At Chelmsford Top Security Prison' with faked overdubs and even a faked riot (this one has been released without the faked additions, as 'Live At Chelmsford Prison'). Then there was one last album: 'The Sexless Pistols – Deny' (1992) which features some of the songs below and then some. But it’s not really pretending to be the Sex Pistols, so we leave it at that.
Shamelessness is not a virtue.

Jeff Drew - Walk
Forget about the alien. This is magnificent:"Join Edgar, the man, and Gigi, the dog on a walk through a wacky cut and paste world filled with drunk clowns, smoking grandmas, and sidewalk preachers. Who knows what may be down the next block, or what lies in store for Gigi and the end of the walk?This animated short was completed using Lightwave 5.6, blending 2D and 3D objects. The buildings used in the backdrop were photographed in Knob Hill, a section of Albuquerque, New Mexico, located on historic Route 66."
