Thank you, Suzanne.

Howdy All !!!
Went to the most ‘party’ ever … had to come here to regain my sanity.

I always get these guys confused with the Rightous Brothers. Which was the one Bill Medley was in?

Rightous has Medley

quasi EPU’d …
teddysf … good link to the kinsley article. nice mix of snark and sense

The Righteous Brothers.

The streamimg thing is typical streaming radio, we just play the stream over a certain parcel of land on that grid. But the stream is still accessable over shoutcast.

I’ll go with A, TRex–these guys were pioneers.

Alias, congratulations!

Sorry, that should read … “the most boring party ever“

everly bros – hmmm cathy’s clown – love that song as as dream dream dream – i think i’m dating myself……arghhhhh lol

Till this day, there’s no other harmony quite like the Everlys. Just timeless. And magic. “Dream” was my favorite of their singles.

Sandia Blanca @ 13

I’ll go with A, TRex–these guys were pioneers.

I’m with you. God, their gorgeous voices. And oh, Don! Those eyes! Those suits!

I die, I die.

Anyhow, that’s it for me, gang. I’m off to bed.

Good night, everyone.

Thanks guys. *yawns* Oh yes, and i consider the Everly Brothers pioneers, myself.

Well, I think I will head for bed. Tomorrow is the local farmer’s market and my favorite organic farmer may have the first batch of his glorious heirloom tomatoes. Have to get there early though or they are all gone. Enjoy the music and the snark.

and how’s the b’day boy doing – recovered from partying yet or has this subject been covered TREX?

Nite TRex.

my farmers market finally brought in local jersey strawberries yummmmmmmmm ate almost one pint before i got home

So, is chimpy’s sudden embrace of action against global warming just a stall tactic against renewal of kyoto? From the FT:

A chorus of European governments, United Nations officials and green activists has for months been calling 2007 a pivotal year for climate change.

The reason is that the main provisions of the Kyoto protocol on emissions cuts expire in 2012 and proponents of the treaty say it is essential that talks on a successor begin at a UN meeting in Bali in December. Otherwise, they fear, it may be too late to agree a new treaty in time.

You felt that 4.2 in Thousand Palms, LooHoo?

Suzanne @ 27

Was Wake Up Little Susie EB or RB?

Everlys. My impression of the RB was that their stuff was a little more serious. If they sang it, the song would have been “Come out of that coma, Little Susie”. That’s just my impression.

wakeup lil susie – the everly bros

We forgot Van Morrison.

Plus I think we just had an earthquake here in north San Diego County.

We’ve gotta remember that the “British Invasion” groups and the psychedelic groups out of S.F. also paid homage to the bluesmen who led the way – guys like Howlin’ Wolf, Leadbelly, Bo Diddley, Otis Spann and Muddy Waters, Slim Harpo, and a whole ton of others.

Otis Spann!

I, too, must head to bed. Blackwater is on my nightstand. Still haven’t opened it.

Suzanne @ 32

Must have been that. Dogs went nutzo.

methinks bushco is trying to salvage something from his terrible reign – sorry buddy its a bit late for that – un fucking believable!!

Biggest Righteous Bros. song radio-wise, as I recall, was “Unchained Melody.” Beautiful stuff, but much more heavily produced (and, as persiflage suggests, serious) than the Everlys.

loo hoo – you in cali? or where was the quake?

Yow. Was it just me, or did we get knocked off the air for about 20 minutes?

is everyone OK? i lost the comments for about ten minutes?

… and we’re back …

Yow. Was it just me, or did we get knocked off the air for about 20 minutes?

i had tried to post a map from RSOE (the worldwide disaster alert people) when BLOOIE! hope to ghod it weren’t me…

ouch (rubbie cute tushkie) that one hurt. everyone seems to be able to get back in the lake now.

Petrocelli @ 54

AK, it was a 4.2 according to USGS – not really newsworthy

Let me ask the tech guys, AK but I don’t think so

Just a little server hiccup but it looks like we’re back in business.

Sorry.

i see others had a problem too – never mind…..LOL

it was all of us, juslin, not just joisey folks :)

The Everly Bros, in my opinion, began the duet genre – Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, Righteous Bros, and Simon and Garfunkle who covered “Wake Up Little Suzie” and credit the Everlys as a major influence. The Beatles admit the Everlys were the sound they wanted in “Please Please Me”. “She Loves You” and “I Want To Hold Your Hand” are thinly veiled Don and Phil.

Major influence indeed.

I was a wondering if he would come up on the last thread. How can one possibly narrow down his best work? Give me Them, Veedon Fleece, Common One, Into The Music, Inarticulate Speech of The Heart, Poetic Champions Compose, No Guru No Method No Teacher,,,and recordings of him live with Pee Wee, Fred and Maceo or John Lee Hooker… the man is one of the best!

I’m glad that’s cleared up. I thought it me and was just about to go eat some worms. *g*

many years ago, long before china exported anything, my wife gave a twinkie she’d been given at work to our dog, who was widely known to eat anything edible.

He sniffed it thoroughly for about three minutes, gingerly picked it up in his teeth, went to the far corner of our lot and dug a hole and buried it, then peed on the hole.

We didn’t have to go to the hospital from laughter injuries, but it was close. I would have loved to record the scene, but by the time we realized what was happening it was over with.

the mysterians was a schlocky japanese sci-fi flick – god-awful as i recal tho i did watch it

oh and an apology for a rather off-kilter rant about tinfoil hat theories the other night. it had been a really bad couple of days at work and my father had just fallen and gone to the hospital for stitches (he fell through the glass door on our shower, somehow. he got one cut that required a stitch, and otherwise was fine. the paramedics said he should have died, the door was all knife-edged shards of glass with him laying in the middle of them.) He’s fine now, but I was in a REALLY BAD MOOD. I’ve promised my granddaughter i won’t ever post again when I’m angry.

Smart dog! What a great story.

I’m about to crash, so please let me favor you with my own favorite Scamp story (that was the dog’s name, Scamp. he was a mutt, about three feet at the should and five feet long, black short coat, head and muzzle pointey rather than flat). Anyways, my wife and I were having dinner with some friends when my youngest daughter was about 3 years old. Some friends had come over for the evening to watch our NEW COLOR TV (hint as to my age again) as they didn’t have one yet. We left our kid and their kid (who was four IIRC) at the table in their raised chairs while we watched the program. We heard muttered squeals of laughter from the table but didn’t hear crashes so we ignored them to enjoy the program (no VCR’s yet!).

Then Scamp trotted into the room wearing the most mournful expression on his face. he was coated from head to tail and halfway down his sides, in butter. NOT margarine, but butter. He looked mournfully at us and we all raced in to the table. Youngest daughter had her hands in the butter tub and was trying to coax her victim back for more. The younger boy was also coated in butter. the minute he saw his parents he started bawling, sure he was going to die.

instead, we all about killed ourselves laughing. then we put the kids and the dog in the tub and cleaned them up. They didn’t get spanked, we couldn’t bring ourselves to do it after having gotten so much fun out of the whole business. We DID, however, always put away the butter and such after than when we were watching TV after dinner.

Night all. see you tomorrow!

well don’t get carried away Suzi, how dirty can the place be? you’re washing it every other day!!!!!!

Someone wondered about Rove’s chart (too lazy to look back thru comments) and not sure if Spiderpaws has responded. Her astrological insights are always excellent. Searched a little and found this, will attempt a link. Rove chart

…and how about that duet with Johnny Cash & Mama Cass!!!! amazing

Mr. Johnny Cash is the only CW singer I liked and I liked him a lot. To me, his style was the epitome of the American Rebel, but I was a young Canuck, so what the he** did I know.

Yippee! My first attempt at linking worked. (smug grin)

off to read the time article, thanks for that linky.

I know spidey, i’m cleaning it every friggin day. want it sparkling and beautiful so the buyers fall in love with it.

thanks, newdealfarmgrrlll, i was the one asking about rove’s chart.

we can go on and on – jackson brown dueting with joni mitchell….

bonnie raitt dueting with every body lol – love her too

that chart on Rove is not calculated for his actual birth time (but you knew that) I’ll see if I can find a link to one that has the time…I saw a progressed chart for him a few months ago and as I recall the astrologer talked about his diminishing power (til he only had a wittle oink left) and his fortunes being tied up with Bush and therefore really going in the toilet along with the chimp…can’t remember much else but I’ll look back and try to return in a little while if y’all aren’t asleep ahem

Thanks NDFG – that certainly got my attention cause my son is a Capricorn born on Jan 2nd. Who knew Karl Rove was born on Xmas Day – so guess that confirms he is the anti-Christ. heh heh…

I’ve got to start paying closer attention….

and so to bed finally….sweet dreams pups!

thanks, loohoo i am so wanting this place sold :) wanna move north, get high speed internet access and enjoy being retired.

yes, i noticed, but was getting nowhere trying to find something more accurate. Would really appreciate it if you find the info. Work has been exhausting the last few months so have been barely skimming Mountain Astrologer, and no time for astro internet browsing. Always appreciate your astro comments.

of course, i’ve been cleaning and who knows what that does to the brain cells.

I’ve never heard any of Mr. Williams’ songs.
Mr. Johnny Cash got me with his black hat and black coat … I thought he was thumbing his nose at all those who said bad guys wear black … and I loved his songs, esp. the ones he sang in that prison.

i tried to hang in as long as i could but my eyes wont co-operate so i’ll bid all a good night… be good y’all

High speed internet access is key these days, no?

Will you be at YK2, Suzanne? Sure hope to meet you there or sometime.

Speaking about popular media, did anyone else see this?

Rethugs are now promoting children’s picture books to teach 5 year olds to hate us

I’m sure you have heard Hank’s songs. Hey Good Looking, Whatcha Got Cooking, I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry, Your Cheating Heart, etc. Here is his Wiki

Yes, Petrocelli, Spiderpaws is that good. :)

Not likely to be going to YK2 this year – maybe next year after I’ve sold the cottage and moved.

My, my, my petrocelli. Hank Williams is the best. He is the father of country. Brilliant. But remember, even the best recordings are old, so be prepared. I’m sure you know him, check:

Sorry, I erroneously called spidey a ‘he’ … I’ve met many astrologers … some frauds, some who were very good at reading charts and few who could actually look into the future … spidey might be one of the latter, if the accuracy holds up and gets better over a period of time.

Yes, I have heard some of his songs and have caught myself humming them from time to time … Johnny Cash’s persona resonated with me … and I guess it still does.
Now, about your dislike for the Eagles … *g*

from a washingtonton post op ed

Skillful composers play with these expectations, alternately meeting and violating them in interesting ways. In my laboratory, we’ve found that listening to a familiar song that you like activates the same parts of the brain as eating chocolate, having sex or taking opiates. There really is a sex, drugs and rock-and-roll part of the brain: a network of neural structures including the nucleus accumbens and the amygdala. But no one song does this for everyone, and musical taste is both variable and subjective.

My fav. song of all time is Hotel California … the duelling guitars … I can hear it anytime, even in my sleep and I get high without getting high.

Hotel California reminds me of good times in Mexico.

This House Is On Fire

soon come, soon come the day this tinderbox
is gonna blow in your face
I don’t have the gift of the prophecy
telling everybody how it’s gonna be
you go passing wrong for right and right for wrong
people only stand for that for just so long

it’s all gonna catch like a house on fire
spark an evil blaze and burn higher
well, I don’t have the gift of the prophecy
telling everybody how it’s gonna be
you go passing wrong for right and right for wrong
people only stand for that for just so long

I don’t have the gift of the prophecy
telling everybody how it’s gonna be
there’s a wild fire catching in the whip of the wind
that could start a conflagration
like there has never been.

sleep well…

Night Kirk. Sorry nobody else can stay awake!!

well the chart I find here in my stash on Rove is set for sunrise and also has no birth time (apologies to farmgirrl) but what I see here coming up with the major slow moving planets (since we wouldn’t be able to talk about the faster moving ones since we have no birth time) is that he will have a retrograding Uranus in his second house in a few weeks and that will last all summer. Since Uranus appears to be a significant planet in his chart this will maybe “break” his spirit a bit, definitly his financial status could undergo a change…then we look to next year (for fun) and see that he may be having a Pluto retrograde through his first house…hmmm, how tragic. In November he has Jupiter probably about to transit his first house as well and Jupiter will no doubt meet up with Pluto and well, I can’t really say what that means since I don’t have degrees. One thing is for sure Pluto will hit every planet in his frst house which looks to be the sun, venus, mercury, saturn and Mars. No wonder he’s a power monger, they are all in capricorn. Major transformation. Maybe he exits from Bush, that would be different.

no worries, Loo Hoo :)

spiderpaws, thank you for sharing your gift.

all most welcome…

goodnight spiderpaws.

goodnight Lake

That’ll be the Day is a Buddy Holly Song.

“That’ll be the day-a-aaa that I die
a woo a woo hoo,

I gotta jump in here at the end and say:

vastly underrated rock-and roll-pioneers or just a couple of reedy-voiced hillbillies?

Discuss.
Dude: not ‘vastly underrated at all’, but rather completely understood as the connection between country of the ’40s and ‘50 with the new rock scene.

without the Everly’s, John & Paul would have never sung harmony, and Simon would have been a record store clerk in the bad part of London.

Seriously, vocal rock’n’roll owes a ton to these guys, as well as a few others, but in re: harmony singing, these guys connected the Louvin Brothers to the rock record buying public.

And lo, it was good.

I’ll call you tomorrow and explain/debate!

Good morning. Coffee’s on.

Good morning pups!

Morning.

Michael Kinsley, although not always to my liking, has an excellent
deconstruction of the box in which the Republicans and their media enablers have placed the Democrats.

Good morning pups.

OT to Marion if she shows up — as of two days ago, my mouth is stitches-free for the first time since May 3rd.

Hardly a ripple on the lake, just now a slight breeze sends the quietist of ripples, a Porgy and Bess-Summertime morning is in the air……

Just now catching up, last weekend was stellar – brilliant, new stars for the constellation bringing light to darkly troubled times, guidance through the wilderness of outrageous fortune (and (thanks TRex et al) fuckery). [/wax poetica]

You all sure do good work. All the best…..

Used to read it on-line daily……..never go there now unless linked by someone at the Lake. Everyone here understands the “why” behind that and the departure of some good voices is a great sadness. :-(

Good morning everyone…it is a dark and stormy one here in the upper Midwest. We could use the rain, so I won’t whine too much.

Good morning, pups. It’s raining! It’s raining!! It’s finally raining!!! Everly Brothers? Vastly underrated. The NYT today has guest columnist Timothy Egan on the Gates Foundation and what it needs to learn about making American politicians pay attention, and Bob Herbert has more horror stories about the NYC cops in the classroom. They’ll curl your hair…

Coffee and tea are ready, and so is a selection of bagels with cream cheese and lox. They’re already split, and the toaster is waiting. Have a wonderful day — I know my garden will!

Retirin’, congratulations on being suture-free. My guy says I’m healing nicely and we’ve got the bottom half planned for July, on Friday the 13th. At least his name isn’t Freddy! It would seem that your surgery was more involved than mine, because my stitches were out in 10 days. Glad you’re doing well.

From HUAC to PUAC, come on upstairs for Christy’s morning thread.

Pull Up A Chair

Thanks, Marion. I’m feeling well enough that some solid food — maybe one of those chewy bagels — sounds pretty good. Good luck on your next surgery.

reedy-voiced hillbillys

Absolutely “vastly underrated rock-and roll-pioneers”!

Memories of harmonizng with Joe Graves in high school chem lab back in the late ’50s. The Everly Brothers dominate the sound track of my adolescence

Sorry, it’s “Wake Up, Little Susie” that was their iconic song, and yet another in the long history of a song starting where you thought the kids had done something bad — like, you know, sex — and it turns out they had just fallen asleep, so they’re good kids but they have to explain it to their parents. And kids are so misunderstood!!!

That was the big hit at the parties in people’s basements about 120 years ago, when you’d sneak a little rum in that coke and get that hand a little closer to where it wasn’t supposed to be. And then, for the last, close dance, there would be “Dream,” also by the Everlys.

And kids, don’t judge them on this reedy little sound over GooTube.

Underrated for sure.

They had it all. Harmony, muscianship, clever lyrics. They were the first, that I’m aware of, to introduce different tempi in one song.

Wake Up Little Suzie and Dream were my favorite Everly Bros tunes. They were pioneers no doubt about it. That harmony – listen to old Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley tunes and you will hear where the harmony came from – referred to as that “high lonesome sound”. I listened to the Everly Brothers when they were popular (I was born in 1952) and then again with my daughter born in 1982. We had Gene Pitney, Everly Brothers, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline tapes interspersed with radio pop music from the 1980s, 90s and 2000s as our eclectic mix riding in the car together for many miles over the years.
