Greetings, music people.
Les Coole & The Cukes have spent more time in the studio lately. I also have it on good authority that Greasetruck Studios has seen (heard) some action of late as well.
In late 1973, a pair of former co-writing sensations released songs of their own at the same time. John Lennon's "Mind Games" and Paul McCartney's (& Wings') "Band on the Run" hit the same airwaves. Different sounding material and yet a common thread. Both brilliant.
47 years later, another long lost songmaker duo followed suit. Random Idiots founders and farceurs Whitney & Dave (in their assumed personae) have issued a pair of solo singles at the same time. Different sounding material and yet a common thread. Both . . . are songs.
Learn them. Know them. Live them.

speaking of funky white boys
am i lennon or mccartney?
just changed something and reuploaded. i think it worked . . .
TR beat me to the punch.
You're more Lennon. Controversial, well-read, hairy. Your wife is more like Linda McCartney, though.
just fixed something else. the guitar wasn't right. my wife does look a bit like linda mccartney (she looks more like linda mccartney than she looks like yoko ono).
Being on vacation at a resort type place early in the week is underrated. Feels like you have the whole place to yourself.
Re: zman's previous post on SVP, Trouble Funk and Go Go. Transported me back. Listened to a lot of TF and Chuck Brown back in the day.
Several friends and I, let's say, altered the vibe at numerous parties in the late '70s and '80s when Chuck and TF and the Bar Kays found their way to the turntable. Particularly jarring at gatherings where the Bee Gees and Madonna and Duran Duran and Fleetwood Mac were the prevailing tunes. We liked to think of ourselves as cultural educators.
Is our man in the OBX admitting to spiking punch with psychedelics, or just enhancing the vibe with some deep grooves?
And though it may hurt my cred, I can't help but like Fleetwood Mac. I think Rumours got profoundly burned into me as a toddler. There's a story about someone asking two year old rootsy who was on the radio, to which I correctly replied "Fleetwod Mac!"I prefer the Peter Green era, and haven't followed their catalog beyond Tusk, but I can't hate them.
My wife looks a little like Charlize Theron. And a lot like Dog the Bounty Hunter.
I'm a Fleetwood Mac fan as well. I mean, not now, as you read. But I like their stuff. The music doc on Rumous was entertaining. As you read.
got my aarp card in the mail today. see you guys at morrison’s for the early bird!

i love Fleetwood mac.
whit's voice sounds pretty smooth for an old man . . .
I like Fleetwood Mac, as well, including the Peter Green era when they were a blues band before Green went off the rails.
It was simply a little disconcerting for folks grooving to them, Billy Joel, disco, etc., to suddenly be subjected to a half-hour of Trouble Funk, Chuck, and company.
I'd rather be Lennon than Stalin.
also, the mushrooms you put into the punch, dave
I’m sure you all are tuned in, but tonight’s Isles-Flyers game is a good one.
celtics gonna be a handful
I’m getting my first taste of bubble ball. I ditched my live cable when the shut down started, but the antenna gets abc now. Looks pretty good.
Sorry, Marls. I was the mush for the Isles.
As Troy Aikman would say, it’s a heckuva sports night. Celts win again, Yanks beat Rays with a dust-up at the end, NHL playoff OT and the Utah-Denver Game 7.
I thought Conley’s shot was going down.
'my cellmate is my soulmate' is a heckuva turn of phrase.
also a major plotline in oz, if memory serves.
Thanks. And part of why I never saw an episode of Oz.
I didn't have HBO for a decent period of time, and I missed out on / skipped a bunch of series. Series I have never seen include:
OZ
Deadwood
Rome
Veep
Mr. Show
Band of Brothers
Silicon Valley
Chernobyl
Treme
Entourage
Six Feet Under
True Blood
Bored to Death
Eastbound & Down
Girls
Curb Your Enthusiasm
ARLI$$
Seen most/all:
The Wire
The Sopranos
Sex and the City
John Adams
Hung
True Detective
I'll Be Gone in the Dark
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Not Necessarily the News
The Kids in the Hall
Larry Sanders
Dream On
Saw a few:
Flight of the Conchords
Big Love
The Hitchhiker
1st & Ten
Real Sex
Project Greenlight
Your recommendations and judgments are welcomed.
Flight of the Conchords episodes are quick diversions and very funny. Season 1 of Eastbound and Down is all-time funny. Like the idea of seeing Danny McBride on Ecstasy at a middle school dance? Or the idea of seeing him call his girlfriend a dickhead?
Chernobyl is great, but heavy. Deadwood is very entertaining. Rome was decent, but not great.
I think you can let Arli$$ go.
