Grade A Hammond Eggs For Dr. Suavetone

Above: Mr. Jimmy Smith

Hey kids, it's on! The Casbah! Groove to the stream of my bud Sir Brian, AKA Dr. Suavetone, every Saturday Night from 7pm-9pm! Or, if you're lucky enough to actually be down in San Antonio, tune in via KYSM, 90.1 on your FM dial.

Brian's been threatening to post his last five or six years of shows as PodCasts, I'll let you all know as soon as that happens.(Podcasting's a little more involved than than it appears. Even when you've got great stuff like the Casbah archives, there are still a few tricky technical and financial hurdles before you're truly up and on.)

Here's a handful of stuff I gave Brian as potentials for tonights "Best of the Hammond" keyboard vibes Casbah. (Dig this 1967 piece by The Flower Child, the rocking Mini Skirt Blues!) Brian and I have been sharing music since the early 90's and the following is some of my favorite hammond stuff that you may or may not hear on the Casbah tonight, one way to find out for sure, check it out: KYSM

If You See Kay, Tell Her I Called...

Dig the crazy cool lyrics of Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo.mp3 from the Bloodhuond Gangs's latest, the oh so clever Hefty Fine.

"Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo"

Vulcanize the whoopee stick
In the ham wallet

Cattle prod the oyster ditch
With the lap rocket

Batter dip the cranny ax
In the gut locker

Retrofit the pudding hatch
Ooh la la
With the boink swatter

If i get you in the loop when I make a point to be straight with you then
In lieu of the innuendo in the end know my intent though
I brazillian wax poetic so pathetically
I don't wanna beat around the bush

Foxtrot Unifrom Charlie Kilo
Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo

Marinate the nether rod
In the squish mitten

Power drill the yippee bog
With the dude piston

Pressure wash the quiver bone
In the bitch wrinkle

Cannonball the fiddle cove
Ooh la la
With the pork steeple

If i get you in the loop when I make a point to be straight with you then
In lieu of the innuendo in the end know my intent though
I brazillian wax poetic so pathetically
I don't wanna beat around the bush

Foxtrot Unifrom Charlie Kilo
Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo

Put the you know what in the you know where
Put the you know what in the you know where
Put the you know what in the you know where
Put the you know what in the you know where pronto


All appologizes in advance for this song sticking in your head...

Link Wray (1930-2005)

The great rock guitarist Link Wray died on Friday. In the 1997 edition of the All Music Guide to Rock, the late Cub Koda had this to say about him: "Quite simply, Link Wray invented the power chord, the major modus operandi of modern rock guitarists. Listen to any of the tracks he recorded between that landmark instrumental (Rumble--Lee) in 1958 through his Swan recordings in the early 1960s and you'll hear the blueprints for heavy metal, thrash, you name it. Though rock historians always like to draw a nice, clean line between the distorted electric guitar work that fuels early blues records to the late-'60s Hendrix-Clapton-Beck-Page-Townshend mob, with no stops in between, a quick spin of any of the sides Link recorded during his golden decade punches holes in that theory right quick. If a direct line from a black blues musician crankin' up his amp and playing with a ton of violence and aggression can be traced to a young, white guy doing a mutated form of same, the line points straight to Link Wray, no contest."


RIP Link (No Pun Intended...)

Birth Of A Podcast iF:001 Podcast

Do you like music?

Me too.

I listen to tons of different bands in a broad range of languages introducing me to an amazingly eclectic array of genres, styles and hybrids of all of the above. If I'm awake, my soundtrack is on. Sometimes it's music, sometimes it's the birds in my backyard, I'm simply addicted to audio.

From real-time, streaming live performances from the other side of the world to fresh interpretations of compositions written before anyone ever even heard of Thomas Edison.

I'm lucky enough to own a modest collection of cassettes, reel to reels, 8 Tracks, cds and of course, vinyl.

Did I mention that I've also got a shitload of mp3’s, enough of which to fill about 8.5 60 GB iPods, 125 4GB nanos or 1,000 .5 GB Shuffles.

Really.

I'm guessing there's probobly not some magic software I can download from versiontracker.com that'll count and tag my albums for me, which means I gotta go analog manual in order to get some kind of tally in the form of a pie chart regarding ratios of release dates, categories and lable info.

I figured that I might as well convert to mp3 whatever it is I'm listening to that I might want to access and share in the future.

The result of each session's harvest are packaged into a little podcast project: iF: Irregular Frequency.
