THe Great New Nazi Machine -;(

This screenshot says it all:

The Google Spy machine...

If Google wanted to take over the world, it would need  a secure method to easily communicate with all it's secret agents..
 Well, I've been looking at a "typical" advertising link.. and man, you could hide the most detailed instructions inside that. The typical Google ad link appears to be over 700 letters!!

 Here's an example:

 Now just why the hell does Google feel the need to have a 740 letter link?

 It's nuts man....

And...why do I think, just like Dr Evil,  Google is poised to take over the world ?

 Why .. "Do no evil" is their logo.. Just like those slick guys with the toothpaste smile who always say "trust me" ;-)

 So where the heck is Austin Powers "International Man of Misery" when you need him?

Hyuk! Looks like Gargle "disappeared" me

No shit.. I just wrote a post about how it appeared that G**le electronically censored posts critical of it, pressed "publish", and guess what? Nowhere to be found.. Not as a draft. Not as a post. Not anywhere, at all, in fact.
  Do no evil?
.......yeah.. right...

The better we treat our dead vets, the more wars we will fight...

So instead of honoring our *dead* veterans, who no longer give a f**k, how's about treating our *still alive returning veterans*, and their f**ing families better? Is there anything more I could possibly add to this?

The "big snow of 2012"

Here! I said it first.. Of course I live on the west coast of North America.. if you live in Europe, you may *not* have a winter as bad as last year's.. But.. we will... ;-(

Ok.. this *was* a music blog.. but

 OK I have updated this post.. meaning I have Up DATED this post:...........
 This was so that I can add a really good link for the real diehard Fleetwood Mac fans..
 here's a direct lift from my other blog:

This is an astounding album.. and it is such a shame that it is the only one that has NEVER been reissued on CD. Nor have the two standout tracks on it, one of which is the studio rendition of "World In Harmony". Although other takes have since come out, this is by far the best one.. The second is "Purple Dancer".. and the back story is pretty much the same. Other takes have surfaced.. mostly live however.. but this is the superior one by far. Both of these tracks came out only on singles, until they appeared on this German compilation in 1972..

 I got lucky finding a pristine tape source.. Judge for yourself if you don't think it is the under-appreciated gem that I think it is. As it is out of print in any format, and at this late stage, likely to remain that way, I don't expect many chances to hear it come up...

===========================

 Furthermore, i am officially going to add music downloads also, soon.. (no commercially sensitive stuff, but rather, quality bootlegs, and choice unavailable rare tracks.. ) Now,  officially, I am turning this into a "truth and music" blog.. meaning, you are just as likely to get a rock and roll post, "my music" post, a "collectors corner", or a "current events" post..
As a musician myself., the last thing I want to do is cou off someone's meal ticket.. but, if you as a musicvian, see anything here that gets your goat, pleez don't do the official "complaint" BS, JUST ASK ME!!!!! , and I will accede to your request..  OK?
There are people that do complaints for fun, though, which is why I have been hesitant to post before..

 Also, change of subject.. Watching the news today.. TONS of car accidents today from the first rain in half a year.. WOW!
110 millimeters? WHOA..  no rain since May (our really cool lightning st0rm) and our rivers are all dried up.. considering we get ALL our power from Hydroelectric.. also a "strong" wind warning of 110 kph ( everywhere else they call it a hurricane ;-) we cal them "gales"

 That's life on the extreme west coast.. hyuk!

PS WOW it's SNOWING in Australia!!!!! It is almost SUMMER THERE!!!!

A repost of the Foghat demos..

Seems it was Google who deleted all my tunes.. apparently they retired the old google player and didn't bother to tell anyone ;-) So here's a repost of my repost ;-) with the new player... Thought i'd just repost this as i've been ill and haven't been able to do much with this blog for a while..
I'll be back folks!
-------------------------------------
In an attempt to throw my hat into the ring for a possibility of getting a gig with Foghat i made a couple demos.. sent them into what i thought was the only Foghat.. i had no idea that there was gonna be TWO Foghats after the dust settled (but not for long, either).. so i don't know if they even got this... But here they are.. I did post em much earlier, but they're remixed and cleaned up..keep in mind they're 20 years old , and on ferric  tapes (it's all i had left)..





P.S. For best results have a good stiff drink and crank it LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Missing music?

Well, it looks like somebody has attacked my blog ;-(
 ALL the music posts are gone.. or more correctly, all my links with the google player are gone.. when checking my page to see what was up, i noticed that they had been erased from the HTML script.. Now who would go and do a thing like that?

Honky Tonk Popcorn!

OK i spent several HOURS trying to find Bill Doggett Junior's post on YT where he replied to me on a comment.. I seem to have misplaced it, so if he sees this, I'm asking him here , now, if he minds I post this

.. It's important because likely only diehard JB fans, or perhaps King records fans (i am a Freddy King diehard, which is where I learnt about Bill Doggett) would even know about this.... See, it may be seriously obscure, but it will show how "hip" this old cat was .. he weren't "old" , ever!

You HAVE to hear this....

Soundcloud

Here's a new site I joined.. after "Audiocandy" bit the dust..
 If you never visited  Audiocandy, it was a real cool site.. I got to share a website with Fleetwood Mac's Bob Welch, Jethro Tull and Blodwyn Pig's Mick Abrahams, Billy Sherwood (Yes, etc) and a whole lot of other HUGE profile artists.. I was very proud to have been allowed to associate with these artists, and the management of the site were even my biggest fans (some connections last till today, even)..
 However, the site, after well over a decade, bit the dust..
A lot of these guys are gone now, too.. most notably Fleetwood Mac's Bob Welch (unfortunately, by suicide.. if you pray, please pray for his soul)..
 But..........
 Somehow, I got hooked up with what appears to be one of the most.. er.. "hip" (OK so I'm old) websites.. called "soundcloud" .. and at the very same time, I got access to the digital master tapes of "The Catch".. so, I put 2 and 2 together..
 I am carefully uploading only one tune per month.. but anyone can listen, and even download my 320 KB files..
 Check it out.. more and more name artists are joining every day...

My page at Soundcloud

 PS If you are a SERIOUS collector, especially regarding rare formats (in my case , cassettes) You OWE it to yourself to check out my CASSETTE COLLECTORS LIBRARY.. just recently, I uploaded all the Steve Miller releases, as FIRST ISSUES (that is, from 1968) on cassette.. mint, too.... and of course, I have all the Capitol oval logo tapes , mint.. and more every day....

Our little town has the most progressive TV station in the world!!!

No shit.. maybe it's a mistake.. which is why I haven't written them to say thank you.. but ONE DAY!!!  after I wrote them saying I don't even have a TV anymore, and I would really like if they would do what other TV stations do, and rebroadcast selected TV shows on their website, they changed their website and all day have been airing their channel LIVE!!!!..
 Now, normally, they only run their news live, at 12, 5 and 10 PM..  but I opened up their site ands saw a newly arranged web page with a notice on top " only show live news at 5 and 10.. OK, but normally they have the news you can rerun.. but.. er.. nope.. instead, they were running the 630 news live, and now they're running wheel of fortune..  I don't like that show, but fact is it's LIVE.. and I am so interested to see how far it will go.. at 8 is the original Twilight Zone, then I think "The Supernatural"..
 But HERE'S the clincher.. There are NO other stations, worldwide , currently, that are airing all their TV programming live, on the internet.. and my lil' ole town is the very FIRST!!!!!!!
 Maybe it's because aint no fat cats own the station.. it's owned by it's employees..
 OK, i know in a small town, it is possible for a station to selectively broadcast to individual IP addresses, but I really don't think they have the tech to do this.. and it must be an incredible coincidence that the day after I ask them to air their TV programming on the internet, that they do so (unless John, my old ex's ex, who works there, recognized who I am, and felt generous)..
 I mean, wudda coincidence!!!

 But.. Right now.. WE WERE FIRST TO DO THIS.. EAT DIRT all you other Big City stations ;-) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
