On the Needle

Forgive me for being so late, but I found myself in a framus, caught between a dish and a glass, without iron, hopped up and smacked down but full of purpose. I got myself patched up and now it's back to business as usual. And the caper wasn't without reward, for all of us. I recovered the entire contents of a fascinating radio show from all the way back in 2008. Well, maybe not "fascinating" but maybe sorta what you would call displaced. It's all that 60's and 70's stuff, played straight ahead like it was the new sound, not for laughs or nothing!Garage, soul, folk, blues, acid rock - a whole 2 hours of the stuff.

Have a swipe on that 1st Dee Dee below to get the tubes warmed up - and, along with it I discovered an itemized list of contents - reprinted below for your convenience. I'll stick around and make the drinks - I never get enough of this stuff.

Within Without You

At times there's no limit to what I can do. Seasons change upon my most simple whim. I've done battle with the wind and the rain, and while I've yet to become their master, I've managed to hold my own. But of all these things I can do, there is one achievement that stands just out of reach, and leaves me powerless.
For just these next 2 hours, help me out - and let me get next to you.

I've brought all my gifts: the urban swagger of late 60's Motown, the blase sneer of Memphis garage, the delicate avant strains of New York psychedlia - the details are preserved below, so you'll see that I'm serious about this. Deadly Serious. Step to Mr. Willie Tee down there, give him a pound with your mouse and he'll take care of you. And I'm right here when you need me, it's gonna be alright, oh yeah.

a Break in the Road

We're at a crossroads, a turning point. You can continue down that path you're on, or you can put your trust in me. I don't pretend to know what's good for you, but I do know just what you need. Let me share with you my soul. And my funk.
And my faux-hawaiian hippie bluegrass pop, and my proto-punk methedrine rock and my falsetto-led dueling songs of cynicism and hope, and - well, you get the idea. Look, you can go ahead with someone else, and buy into their agenda ... but you are better off with me because I really, truly, have no idea what I'm doing. And that's what makes it all so good.

Have a click on that virtuous image just below and see that I'm not pure of deed. What's more, notes of this rapturous outburst follow, so you'll never lose your place as you partner along with me on this 2 hour adventure. Maybe there will even be a happy ending, who knows, sometimes these things work out.

Suicide Squeeze

It's not a home run, but it's deep enough that I can tag up and stand an outside chance of making it home. That guy's arm ain't no cannon, you know. And when I hit home, I'll be bringing 2 hours of music with enough kick to hit for the cycle, with a few curve balls that might just have you seeing double. I've got command of all five of my pitches, too: soul, garage, folk, pop, r&b. Step in and take a swing by clicking that Parallax 45 just below - but don't stand too close to the plate, or you might be hearing a little chin music, as well!

A full scorecard is provided below, for those curious to see how the game was played, or just who made a hit and when did they score - it's all in print.

I Won't Back Down

No, I won't back down. I'll stand my ground, but I won't be back for over 3 weeks, either, so get it while you can, like the song says. It's summer in America and my mind is light with worry, I'm letting the sun shine in. Feel it in my flow, as the jingle-jangle sounds of July keep popping up like daisies in a window box.
Of course, with the heat comes the soulful sounds of an open hydrant and the checkered cloth of the backyard BBQ as well. We're all just folks, it's in the mix.

And the mix is shaken, not stirred. Check the ingredients below and you'll see the wallop that this brew can pack, when taken directly in the mid-day sun.
