Good evening katymine.. nice to see you up and about.

Krugman linked EW on his blog this afternoon too.

Yo and hail, muse ES. Quick drive-by: Somebody’s dishing on what a naughty girl Jane Harman has been, and what a naughty boy Gonzo has been. Who’s doing the dishing, and why now?

up and about….. hallmark special and girlfriend over for the evening….

I’m wondering if this is the beginning of the floodgates opening up that Sy Hersh was talking about?

John Cole had a post up: Jane’s Sedition

The Republic is falling apart.

-G

Hey katymine.

hiya ES

hey katy

Or maybe the worst of the cruft is just getting cleaned out.

Wow, you may be spot on GregB. Hey katymine, best wishes!

I didn’t know whether the CQ article was credible or nay.. Glad to see folks are discussing it. What a story!

A day late and short of breath.
Here’s to Record Store Day.

Hi Teddy, CE..)

I miss record stores.

hiya, ES & Firepups!

it’s not vinyl, but it’s my favorite mp3 of the weekend. (listen or download for free)

Cotton Jones Basket Ride - Gotta Cheer Up

Vinyl cafe and Billy Bob Thorton have talked about the demise of record stores. They called them independent record stores. BBThorton was waxing about his youth in AK and his love of record stores wherever he travels. Hiya ES!

hey ndfg.. what’s shakin’?

Suz – incoming mail.

DIGG is Open Pups!!
Hi ES and especially Katymine(:>)) How ya doing Katy??

In fact, BBThorton said that he travels with empty suitcases to fill with records he purchases in his travels. Pretty cool!

Freaking bizarre. We knew Harmon was trouble, but dang!

Did you see Billy Bob’s dickish meltdown in Canada?

I’ll never look at him the same. Ruined my opinion of him.

-G

This is another new song that works… like driving to work music, real loud.

Black Moth Super Rainbow – Born On A Day The Sun Didn’t Rise.

No, I did not — he really does not interest me, just his collecting habits!

Well hey stranger… I wondered if you dropped off the map after election day. *s*

Super duper….. wow now we have a contract for a solar power plant …..

You two have fun!

Oh boy, so do I.
Hi ES, Chris, Katy, everyone.

evening all.

Tip o’ the iceberg? Oh my.

How are you, NDFG?!

I don’t remember record stores — MrCE and I used to haunt Wanamakers in Wilmington, DE for records. They had a dept. just for records and we always cleaned up in classical music for $2.00 per albumn.

Hi Sunny.

Oh by the way.. tonight was the first scorpion night of the year at casa de Eureka. I sucked it up with the shop vac.

hi loohoo! i’ve been working a lot of hours and my shift interferes with me hanging out in the threads. I miss you guys! But at least i have a job.

I wanna be just like you when I grow up.

Oh, that is really scary!

eek!

I will never get used to them. Used to have a house where they always were found in the bath tub.

well, need to head off to bed….. good night everyone

Nice to see some three part harmony’s.

Thanks for sharing that.

Here’s some hardcore harmony and lyrics from The Steel Drivers I Saw Them Last Year In May, Lord They Rock Live! Give them a lissen, Pups. Blue, new, grass and home grown from some heroes in the varioius genres. *G*

Nite (((Katy))) sweet dreams(:>))

Good evening all
FDL has been on fire of late doing MSM job. Read EW’s post today. We have real monsters in our midst. It is really gut wrenching. How can top USA govt officials hold Isreali and other citizenship while pledging allegiance to both?
Repeated waterboarding is not interrogation it is torture BUSHCO lied about now Obama defends it.
I happy Katymine you are getting excellent treatment and so should we all.
I will table next Sunday for “Health care for All” California’s latest effort, at an MS walkathon. If CA gets it maybe the Natiuon will follow.
Nahant had a record row yesterday and another hard row today beautiful tropical water. Hope you all enjoyed the weekend.

Everyone has different time availability so it’s hard to stay in touch. But it’s just good to see you. Here are some pups I miss:

OKK and Lahoma (worried about them during the tornados last week)
Steve AR (medical problems)
lolo
balrog (he’s well)

Eek! I’m missing so many. It’s so nice to see NDFG and NPB!

Loudoun Lib. (sp)

Greg, given how much is so spectacularly failing, how long must I wait, as the old blue’s ballad is coined.

How long? Or is it now?

I actually participated…at R5 Records (Russ Soloman’s new small scale Tower Records in the original location). He’s running it more like a “Mom & Pop” and has used records, lots of discounted stuff, live bands. He’s cut out most of the other stuff. The day had bands all day, a record sellers convention, some guy doing Jamaican “Jerk” Massage
:-). I picked up a few things.

I don’t see no cleansing, you got something to share I really, really, desperately need to hear?

I hope ya do?

That’s purty darn good.. especially for an audience recording.

Looks like it could really blow up, if true. After all, the unidentified Israeli agent…never was identified by the NSA. That means he couldn’t have been “warranted” as part of the AIPAC-Larry Johnson probe. This had to be based on some sort of specific unwarranted surveillance of members of Congress (not just Harman), or maybe every call from Israel to the US is scoured for key-words. Say Alpaca rather than Llamas and you could be on the NSA system!

Hope you squeeze in some hammock time into the busy schedule, bb…)

Very nice. Thanks.

Good for you, I bet you have been missing your excursions on the bay.

Jamaican “Jerk” Massage

There must be a chicken joke in there somewhere. /s

Any new to you good bands?

Hi ES! Great tunes, as always!

Travelin’ Light – Widespread Panic

Yeah, one of my favs of the past year . . . they just kill that song.

Can You Run.

Doing it live, not on any cd’s yet.

Hell of a song of the Bitter War, North V South.

Glad ya liked it . . . . I never know when I bring a group and song in here.

Course, I’m pretty grassed and americana oriented, too . . . as I’ve said.

Again, thanks, glad ya liked it. The bass player was filliin the thirds, in case the vid didn’t make it clear.

They also have some 4 parts they do, with the mando player.

Like I said, these are seasoned Nashville Vets, one and all . . . .

They can pick, they can sang. *G*

Can be found at John Cole’s Balloon Juice here.

I’ve searched everywhere I know for Soul Flutes. If you find it, please pick it up for me. It’s just got huge red lips on the cover, and was done by Eddie Harris, but other than the lips, the cover is blank. No credits.

H/T back atcha . . . I’ve enjoyed many of your musings, so thanks for them . . . *G*

Eddie Harris, I’ll never forget with Les McCan and Swiss Movement.

Saw them do the whole thing, in about ‘72, Oakland Jazz Fest, held in Oakland A’s Park.

Fine, fine two days of great jazz . . . . .

A classic.

Still Tryin To Make It Real . .

-Larue ;-)

Will do… and checking for scorpions now. Dang in your house…the word is out about your wing. Funky place with weird water. Any such thing as a scorpion trap…they were all over Phonenix Katymine should know

Ask and you shall receive a link.
I hope that’s it, it has big red lips on the cover!

Radiofreewill!!! You always have excellent comments on EW’s blog…nice to see you on late nite.

Thank-you, bigbrother!

Three part harmony?

Bouncing Around the Room – Phish

Thanks rfw.. Last time I saw Panic was Mud Island in Memphis… what a show and what a story! If I can ever figure out how to clean it up without losing the crazy.. I will try to tell it. /s

Wondering if this will stream CJBR for us.

The only thing I know that kills them is a giant can of poisonous stuff sold a feed stores for fogging horse barns. I tried one under my house last year… it sure made a bunch of them come inside over the next couple of nights! Seems like the best thing to do is hope you don’t disturb them, and if you do, hope you see them first!

yep.

The Jam Of The Grass! They were fine, huh.

I also like Yonder Mountain . . . Yonder Doin Cowboy Junkies

But if ya wanna start to tawk about harmonies, stacked vocals, and the best in teh biz, I offer /Seldom Scene.

And that ain’t their best ,. . .*G*

Jam. Grass. 4 Parts.

Lord, it don’t get any better when that’s all in play . . .

I don’t see enough of that, in today’s products. *G*

Yes, second line below photo is download… just below download in small letters.. click on stream.

Compared to What? *g*

Been eating potatoes by the pound with a lot od romaine salad, gardening and sleeping in the sun…after a week of gusty winds it is like summer here the winds carved the sand dunes on the sand spit…really sumthin to see… like the BW photos of the deserts. Nice tunes as usual…thanks and goodnight all you fine FDL pups.

AYUP!

G’ night bb

Looking for a Chateau, 21 rooms, but one will do…

West LA Fade Away – Grateful Dead

And perhaps my all time fav song, with John (God Bless His Heart) Duffey on lead tenor.

The Scene. At one of their best.

Starling is gone, but Rosentahl does fine work and it’s always great to see my hero on dobro singing baritone.

A Classic

Bless John Duffey, and his voice. Damn I miss him . . . . .

This Jane Harman thing is very interesting. Maybe we can shake both the repug and dem trees and get rid of a bunch of bad apples. Does Harman have bankster friends?

Margot! I love you. I have been trying to get this album forever. I gave up several years ago when Tower Records in San Diego told me it was gone.

I just told my dad last weekend that I am still searching.

Thank you SO MUCH!

(Hope it really comes.)

Ok, here’s the original Seldom Scene, with John Starling sitting in.

And they got Phil Rosenthal too.

Wait A Minute.

One of the finest songs ever written, and it was written by Herb Pederson. And you’d need to be a grasser to know who Herb is . . . he’s a hoss . .

Seldom Scene, with Starling, circa ‘85 Fine Music.

I have never ever trusted Jane Harmon.

Classic… must be off a dvd with that kind of recording quality.

Harmon Pardon.

Yo Mod, yer killin me, still.

Back off, won’t ya?

So Bushco was blackmailing Harmon. mmmmmmmmm. Is this treason? On both their parts?

bmaz:

Note there are not one, but two crimes here. The original crime was with the AIPC representative, and I agree it was completed. But there is also very arguable a completed crime, perhaps more than one, in the leveraged agreement by Gonzales not to go after Harman in return for critical cover for a separate illegal act, to wit the illegal wiretapping. Compare and contrast the honest services fraud and criminality alleged against Blagojevich. Quid. pro. quo.

I didn’t think things would get this dicey this fast. Good.

Is it treason if the AIPAC spies got off? Or is that trial still ongoing?

Dear Jane Harman,

I don’t want to be your…

Slave – Rolling Stones

When the truth starts coming out the whole ball of string starts to unravel and one thing leads to the next and the next… BO had better change his mind about investigating and then prosecuting the Bush Admin from top to bottom. This is not the time to “Look forward” Justice must be served or we WILL lose our constitution and country.

It’s amazing how many Stones songs.. not just Tattoo You songs are not on youtube.

You are certainly right about that, nahant.
If Obama is forced to fix all of this he has to get rid of Emanuel.

Obama doesn’t fix anything in this regard, imo… he either delegates or obstructs.

Or like today, he tells Rahm to obstruct.

Mary you ready to be COOKED tomorrow? We are supposed to hit 90 It will be even hotter where you live(:>((

It will be 95 here today. Hope our air conditioner still works. At least we have cool nights. Gonna be much cooler by Wednesday.

I am going to bed. Good night everybody that is left. :)

Lemonade…)

Speaking of lemons…congress reconvenes this week.

g’ night mary

They are predicting rain by the weekend. But this hot weather is great for my tomatoes, they are already taking off..

I agree. I’ve heard that the ‘deal with the devil’ they did to break free from Decca was to agree that, allthough they could play the early songs in Concert, they would never again record them – studio or live. Then, right after that, they had a creative-contribution royalty dispute when Taylor left the band that included much of the seventies material.

nite Mary (:>)) sweet dreams..

Obama has not stopped torture; he has merely suspended it, being very careful to keep the option open for his successors.

Interesting… time for me to get the old disks onto the hard drive. Don’t know why I forget about them for as long as I do.. when it’s all classic… and every concert of theirs I’ve been to was superb.

‘nite mary.

Wondering how/why Harman allegedly acquired so much influence with the NYT.

Not only do I not see an executive order ending torture (or rendition to countries who will torture). EO’s are not enough.

If Obama is forced to fix all of this he has to get rid of Emanuel.

Note, AIPAC is the root of the Harmon problems. So hell yes Rahm will have a problem.

183

That’s what’s on my mind tonite.

Goodnite, everyone.

G’ night Teddy.

Well, laws are not enough. Why would EO’s be enough? WTF does it take?

183? That’s so 10:00pm. NYT has it at 266 now (for 2 detainees, total).

What the hell is Obama going to be able to say at CIA today?

Enforcement.

Enforcement w/o consequence? It’s either that, or “Some of you are going to jail for what you have done.” Neither sounds particularly viable as a speech theme.

Time for me to turn in.

Good night firedogs

Time for me to turn in also… Nite ES watch out for those scorpions…

nite all.
