oh.by.jingo.

That's all.

Please trip them gently, they don't like to fall, oh by jingo
There's no room for anger, we're all very small, oh by jingo
We're painting our faces and dressing in thoughts from the skies, from paradise
But they think that we're holding a secretive ball
Won't someone invite them
They're just taller children (ooh) that's all, after all...

old man - redlight king

railroad spike

Redlight King.

"Old Man" is not a cover but rather offers up a reluctant salute to his own father, a larger-than-life figure who taught school by day and raced stock cars at night, while paying homage to rock icon Neil Young's song of the same name. source

Gaye Delorme died this summer

http://www.gigcity.ca/2011/06/25/gaye-delorme-one-of-the-best-there-was

Gay Delorme died suddenly (June 24) at age 64: 'some incredible slide through a Purdy TD-55 Tweed,' wrote Earache My Guitar Metal with Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin, Sailor Sailor '99... more.

Wiki: In the early 1970s he led a Jimi Hendrix-styled power trio called The Window in Edmonton, Alberta. During this period, he could also be heard in jazz jams around town, or at the Hovel folk club. He moved from Edmonton to Calgary and played in country bands there for a few years, until forming another trio to play his original rock and blues oriented tunes to play the dance club scene in Alberta.

Day O Bananas

The word "day" has got to be the only word that means day and night, light and dark, absence and presence, seeing and not seeing, fire and cold ash, sleep and awake. It's a fucking Zoroastrian nightmare, a daymare. Perhaps a scary tale. Is it a 24-hour "day" or is it "day" only with a sun in the sky, a complete rotation or a demiphotontasse?
