So This Is Cool
Learned this past weekend on a trip visiting my 81-year-old aunt that my grandmother’s cousin (my first cousin, twice removed) was a songwriter in California. And that I’m named for him, by way of my dad. (Fucked up spelling and all.) Here’s one of his tunes that Bing Crosby recorded.
And here’s another that could be fun to work up as a rocker.
Bad Decisions
Red Hook.
Another band we have to see when Fat Elvis takes us to Australia.
Parking Lot Movie
I really enjoyed this. Available for $0 on Amazon Prime. A great antidote to overhyped action hero fare, and probably the sort of thing someone who appreciates abandoned malls would like.
There’s probably nothing worse than poets working in parking lots.
Acoustic Descendents
Yes, it’s a YouTube commercial for Taylor guitars, but still …
Yep
One of the measures of a great song is relatability. This one’s got it in spades.
Can’t Wait
This show never lets me down.
New PTA
This looks fantastic. The lead is Cooper Hoffman, son of Philip Seymour.
Wait There’s More
Sorry.
This guy is a performance poet from the 70’s. I’ve never heard of him.
Trailer
Somehow I missed this trailer at the time.
