No work travel, no vacation post eclipse hangover, guess I got time for this today. Can we get Johnny Cash's "How high's the water, mama?" to go with the GIFs?
Peace all. The TV gif is insanely cool.MC Escher would be proud. My Godfather told me "country music is popular in Canada now.". I should have asked exactly what he meant specifically.
@AAP, Great request! Comin' right up. Hazmat update at 845am with Clay Pigeon..

Some requests ideas:
Yat-Kha - When The Levee Breaks
Chuck Pyle - Here Comes the Water
Tina Turner - I Can't Stand the Rain
Carter Family - The Cyclone of Rye Cove
Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
Bob Dylan - High Water (For Charlie Patton)
Joan Baez - Money For Floods
Bessie Smith - Backwater Blues
K, I'll throw out some more: Creedence Clearwater Revival "Who'll stop the rain", Neil Young "Like a Hurricane", Bob Dylan "Hurricane", John Fogerty "Walkin' in a Hurricane"
I'll bet Roger Waters has a song the expresses his outrage at some government figure's failure to do something about something that has to do with global warming and flooding somehow.
Ken from Hyde Park:
Fancier billboards of the future will overlay whatever part of the visual field {they feel like}/{you can't block}. It is not the least bit paranoid to note that it shouldn't be too hard to guess where you're looking at any given moment, for example the systems your car will use to determine you've fallen asleep (or had a heart attack) behind the wheel and it's time for it to start driving.
I wonder how they'll diagnose paranoia in the future…`ideas of reference' and voices everywhere will just be 'reality'.
John in Bklyn has it correct. But I just encourage everyone to google Michael Gerald's corporate tax lawyer profile pic and realize that surrealism has no greater exponent.
@MarkWilliams: Not too sure of where you are coming from, but you realize a lot more people in “rock and roll” have straight jobs because the music business sometimes—and most of the times—doesn’t pay the bills?
Heck, many active musicians and artists that still perform right now work for ad agencies and such as well.
Now Kurt and Michael are up in heaven having one hell of a jam... with Jimi, Janis, Jim Morrison, The Big Bopper, Richie Valens, Buddy Holly, Mama Case Elliot, Mickey Rooney, Jimmy Durante, Ethel Merman, INXS guy, Stone Temple Pilots guy, Soundgarden dude...

@MD - Peter Perrett DOES sound like the male Courtney Barnett. But not vice versa

Oh, Saint Black Alex! A true REAL artist that come out of nowhere and posses no label, not that WFMU created him ala Spotify in order to avoid paying SoundExchange! Right, Ken?! *wink-wink*
@karen wow.. I meditate and go there and its healing. Sometimes lie in grass and feel the vibrations of the bagpipe. Powerful Tibetan like noises which I love. Cheers
I starting listening and supporting wfmu in 1986, i was 14. I might have T-shirt still. I save them. lol Who throws out a wfmu shirt? hehe -
Gratitude! I love WFMU!

I have a feeling that means 'My auntie, my tart and my uncle".
Also in the 40's Lucien Carr wasn't questioned much about killing of David Kammerer, because of "gay panic." The story was presented that Kammerer made an unwanted pass at Carr, and was deemed to be a "honor killing." Pretty terrible.

Dean:
@BnowB: I can't find references to the law you describe, but nowadays the California Constitution prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in certain circumstances. A state or local law prohibiting the sale of alcohol on that basis would be such a circumstance.
@dean I'll find again.. getting lost in a sea of Info. at moment. The law prohibiting discrimination on sexual orientation is the key at this point, you must be right sir. :) cheers good call
@dean ON the flip side.. licenses to run certain types of establishments or practice certain trades, still prevalent in the nation, continue to give small-minded officials excuses to quash people's right to assemble freely or even to earn an honest living I know this happened just in montclair they didn't want a "GAY BAR" i town. reason.com...
@BnowB: I see. So called police power laws that protect the general welfare, morals, etc., were deployed against *some* disorderly bars, coincidentally those that happened to cater to a gay patronage.

If this song is being played at the right speed AND/OR it is a live-recording, then Sigh sounds great live!
@BnowB: Here's something funny: the first part of the passage of the book linked from the article (at the quote "persons of known homosexual tendencies") identifies an Oakland bar, The First and Last Chance Saloon. It is a funky shack in Jack London Square on the Oakland waterfront, but there is now an outpost at the Oakland Int'l Airport. Can't get more mainstream than that!
