I just gotta say....Check out the New #1 Debut Chili P's album, it's pretty damn smoking. TP's complaints aside (he could never write that chorus). But the larger point is... then check out..'Lost in Hallucination' from the last SP's Movie? This song proves that without trying we can still kick everyones ass on a sleepy day...Also proves that The Sp's Host a nest of some of the most muthaf******' greatest Axe slingers in the World, and I mean that sincerely, and I'm not drunk or trippin as of this writing. Anyway...there are some who say they once killed a man with a guitar string...to paraphrase TW. three outside references and one in, I'm out. Not to mention the Layla ending on Hail Mary....If only me and Nick made a better effort it would be even greater proof still.....OK enough!

Must-See Music Documentary

2006-02-01T14:03:00.000-05:00

For any pigs who have access to the Sundance Channel, search your listings and find a way to see "Tom Dowd and the Language of Music." Here's a link to Sundance's description: http://www.sundancechannel.com/film/?ixFilmID=3381&rname=The+Film+Finder

Lemme put it this way. Tom Dowd was 16-year old working on the Manhattan Project. So he's kinda talented. But after the war he decides to go into the recording business as Ahmet Ertegun's engineering wiz at Atlantic, working with everybody. No, EVERYBODY. Dizzy, Coltrane,Aretha, Cream, The Allman Brothers...the list goes on. He's one of the most significant producers in the history of recorded music.

It was amazing watching him at the console replaying the Derek & The Dominoes Layla sessions master tapes, reviewing the Duane Allman/Eric Clapton guitar interplay. This documentary's fantastic.

Cheese

2006-01-14T11:56:00.000-05:00

Yesterday, we had to say goodbye to our beloved girl Cheese. This photo was taken just a short while before she left us. She was doing great for a 14 year old cat, but on Wednesday, suffered what was probably the sudden onset of the effects of a brain tumor, or a stroke. She was like my shadow, and would frequently sleep with her head on my pillow and wake me up by gently pawing my nose when it was time for her breakfast.

Almost all of us knew her from her days at the Belmont, where she and Oscar listened in on countless Hazel Motes and Humbolts rehearsals. She was probably responsible for a few unfortunate urinary "accidents" involving house guests as well. That was her punk phase I suppose.

We really really miss her.
