Sun City Girls - Gum Arabic (2011)

I started listening to this last night. Then again this morning. Been on my mind all day. I'm convinced this is great. Which is easy because Sun City Girls are great.

'The Bishop brothers continue to dig into the Girls' archives from before Charles Gocher's tragic disappearance in 2007. In this new offering they revisit North African songs from Morocco to the Mid-East and beyond, interpreting them with their own distinctive style. All tracks on this CD are cover songs from Sun City Girl's repertoire, several frequently performed by the group live for more than 20 years. Several cuts were inspired by found unmarked cassettes and radio recordings made in Egypt and Morocco by Alan Bishop in the early 1980's. The original song titles and composers of the radio-inspired arrangements are unknown. SCG created their own song titles and rearranged the music, at times radically, to fit their vision. The rest of the tracks are by various artists from the Middle East and North Africa. One track, "Wild World of Animals" is an African piece written for the theme of an American television show by the same name from the 1970s.'

band name poll

hello 'nandos!

so, i've been working on band names for my solo music and it's been difficult.
"cobra and me" worked for a while because it was just myself and my guitar, which has a giant cobra (stallone) sticker on it. but that no longer fits.
i thought, why ask the famed affectionandos for their opinions?! then i thought why not ask the famed affectionandos for their opinions?!

here are 10 choices:

1) The Aaron Olson Rests
2) AO's Expanding Waistband (or Aaron Olson's Expanding Waistband [or "Waste Band"][or "Exploding"])
3) Aaron Olson's Holsom Haarom (or "Wholesome Harem")
4) Aaron Olson and the Rests (or "AO and...") (or "... and his Rests")
5) Aaron M and the Rests
6) The Rests
7) Aaron M Olson
8) Aaron Olson, Aaron Olson and the Rests
9) The Sweatermen (or "AO and the Sweatermen")
10) Aaron Olson and the Vests (or "AO..." or "...and his Vests")

some wacky ones, i know. feel free to add suggestions as well, but if you got the time, CAST A VOTE!
respond in the comments.

thanks!!

Fela Kuti and Africa 70 - Expensive Shit (1975)

http://www.mediafire.com/?ay44fk35ud1apv8

One great record, two great songs:

1. "Expensive Shit" – 13:13
2. "Water No Get Enemy" – 11:00

The title of the album refers to an incident in which the Nigerian police tried to arrest Kuti by planting a joint on him. Kuti managed to eat the joint which prompted the police to bring him into custody and try to wait for him to produce the excrement. According to legend he managed to use another inmate’s feces and was eventually released.

Tangerine Dream - Sorcerer (1977)

Saw this again last night, the first time for me in the theater. Fucking amazing. Friedkin was there yet nobody asked him about the soundtrack. Damn shame.

Also Enjoyable:
The Dark and Stormy
- Fill a highball glass with ice
- pour about 60mL dark rum over the ice
- add a suitable amount of ginger beer
- squeeze in lime wedge, littering it into the glass
-if you have an umbrella, it might come in handy.

Love, Pene

Neil Sedaka

My dad has this Brill Building documentary and we always loved this part with Neil Sedaka cause we really like his flamboyant dance moves.
