I’ve been a bit non-responsive in the last 2 weeks, I want to publicily state here that I’ve been in the end stages of a relationship, a friendship that’s ending after about 10 years. It’s worn at me in the matter of what to say to a person that I just dont’ have real feelings for anymore, plus the fact that I have only now seen patterns that contributed to obvious dysfunctional patterns that made the relating very unhealthy. I’ve been feeling depressed and also not being very outgoing in my usual ways. Plus I’ve had some more financial stress added, along with letting go of my voicemail service. Again, if I have inconvenienced anyone based on my choices, you have my apologies.

Here’s the Sinead Lohan song I saw on public access cable last night.

Whew…not too good in the prognostication dept lately am I?

More MNN love here:
2 artists who released music years ago were revealed to me on 2 programs. One program, Local Vision, promotes videos of songwriters and bands who are unsigned, and usually pretty good quality at that. Problem is that the host seems a bit like he has a complex….and once dressed rather normal while intrdoducing his shows amidst his props, but then overcompensated with a mask, face voice, as if that was the real deal. Oy. It’s not watchable TV or Web-viewing. If you dare, its’ Sunday 230am on MNN chanel 67. Anyway, there was time for about 2 or 3 videos in the 27 minute show, and one song totally captivated me…a neo-celtic/folk rock tune.. I googled the lyrics and discovered the name… Sinead Lohan. No joke, that’s her name. But truly authentic songs from the homeland. Hasn’t released a CD in years but seems to be working on one with Malcolm Burn. I’ll post the video shortly.
www.sineadlohan.com

Then another program, PANDEMONIUM shows cuts of different gigs each week, Sundays 3am by the band Pan….great Bowie-like vox, sometimes over the top, with solid modern rock sounds that never let up. Last night’s gig was one from a few years ago at CBGB. Their website, like SInead’s, hasn’t been updated in some time but, also akin to Sinead’s, has an active myspace page. I don’t get why myspace is considered a substitute for a website. Maybe a financial/tech thing…or laziness. Anyway, don’t knock the rock. www.myspace.com/ChrisPanMusic

boxing match; biorhythms

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 21:01:39 -0400

Tonights’ matchup of Manny Pacquiao vs David Diaz for Diaz’s WBC lightweight title:

Both fighters actually have very similar cycles except in the physical area. David has a cycle that’s actually near its physical peak, while Manny’s is at a physical low. Both fighters have similar cycles mentally, which are low….and emotionally…both high.
The way this manifests is that David’s ability of breaking through his wall and finishing the job will be stronger than Manny’s but not by much.
In the area of focus, it’s about even. In terms of overall awareness….about the same here too.
Result will be David winning out in a rather slow-paced affair, TKO in 10th.

I’ve read about the sounds of chicha in at least 2 places over the last month…most recently in Jazziz magazine. These sounds…Latino/Peruvian over Farfisa organ and a 60’s-ish sound of guitars and vocals, make this a must-listen. Definitely will be spinning this on my show. Not a bad video either.

don't destroy Brooklyn

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:21:09 -0400

Sad to hear that the court system here is going through with plans to destroy area businesses and homes to build the Barclays Arena in the Atlantic Yards section. Couldn’t they have picked a spot that was a little more isolated?
At least now the state will get to hear the eminent domain case.

Two places likely to be bulldozed are Hank’s Saloon and Freddy’s Bar & Backroom. I have been to both, and will miss them greatly if they do meet the wrecking ball. Someplace very homely such as these bars and music venues will not easily be replaced.

I’m speechless. Tuba, acoustic guitar, occasional brass, tap dancer. A catchy name. What’s not to love? OK I knew of them for a year, on the same label as another great band, Skdmore Fountain. About time you caught a video of theirs. www.bornagainfloozies.com
