Lucky 13!


In celebration of my San Antonio Spurs winning their 13th game in a row last night, March 13th, as well as the official release of the first Season of Hawaii 5-0 on DVD, Yes!

Here's a killer version of the Hawaii 5-0 theme by Harry Roche Constellation off of the album entitled "Selections from the In-Flight Library of Quantas 747B: There's Music In The Air!"

Enjoy!

Brad Delp Found Dead In His Home


WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Brad Delp, the lead singer of the 1970s and '80s rock band Boston was found dead at his home in southern New Hampshire on Friday, local police said.

Delp, 55, apparently was home alone and there was no indication of foul play, Atkinson, New Hampshire, police said.

With Delp's big, high-register voice, Boston scored hits with "More Than a Feeling," "Long Time," and "Peace of Mind."

The band's popularity peaked in the late 1970s, but it remained active off and on, producing its last album "Corporate America" in 2002.

Delp was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and bought his first guitar at age 13 after seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show, according to his Web site. Since 1994, he spent his spare time working in a tribute band called Beatle Juice, the band's Web site said.

The band's Web site carried a statement, "We've just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll."

RIP Brad.

HMK Mystery Stream 009: The Old Codger


The Old Codger (Courtney T. Edison) proudly plays 78 rpm discs "like they're going outta style." Fond of Ukulele Ike, Louis Jordan, and the Brox Sisters, he's cantankerous, crude, and known for his colorfully faulty memory.

So sit back, relax and enjoy a few hours of misplaced memories, questionable nostalgia, deranged opinions, and music nobody else cares about...

Drift Away with The Old Codger One.

Get Happy with The Old Codger Two

Make It Louder,

Michael

Conspiracy 911


Direct From Ape Man 888:

I made this film as a rejoinder to all the crazy 911 theories floating around the Internet.

My plan is to fight madness with madness. It's a battle the conspiracy nuts cannot hope to win.

I think then big monkey just might be onto something...

Make It Louder, It's whisper rap...

HMK Mystery Stream Week Seven



New Mexico is hoping to keep drunks off the road by lecturing them at the last place they usually stop before getting behind the wheel: the urinal.

It's true! Talking urinal cakes give potential DWIs a last minute warning. I think I'm gonna have to do a version of this idea, these are kinda-sorta half-ass - they could be way more effective as well... Hmmmmm...

If your lucky to be where it's not quite so cold and able to drop your top over the weekend, why not check out theis sweet little mix of some killer old 45's. Amighty fine driving mix for sure y'all.

Actually, it'll be totally perfect for the drive up to the Flag Creek Inn in Fredericksberg from San Antonio this weekend.

Fill'er up and go dig: Diddy On The Decks.

Make it Louder!

HMK Mystery Stream: Week Six


Ok, we've got a few left field goodies courtesy of WFMU for you this week, all of them are perfectly, if not mind-bendingly interesting, depending on your mood, frame of mind, or altered state.

Feel like some cheesy old knee slappin' slightly off-color comedy that's totally not for kids? Well then, you're sure to dig these cocktail induced ramblings: Classy But Sassy

Or perhaps you're in the mood for a good short story? Well, this ain't exactly Selected Shorts but I think you might enjoy a little Acid: The Story Of LSD: Lysergic Acid Diethylamide

Problem: You're going out of town and you don't have an alarm system.
Solution: Put this on loop, press play and enjoy your weekend while this nice old Jewish couple house sits for you: Play It Safe

And hey, wanna buy a guitar? Dig this: Guitar For Sale

And finally, if you're in a dial flipping mode, dig The Reel Night John Lennon Died, a New York Radio Collage from December 8th, 1980, the night Lennon Died.

So, until at least next Thursday, have fun and be nice to each other.

Make It Louder!

Migwell

Thanks to the amazing folks at WFMU.
