Tigers, Snuffaluffagus, The Big Iron on Your Hip dating game and What You Won’t Do For Love
March 21, 2013
As a child I would crawl under the table and hide scared of big Snuffy with his long eyelashes and wobbly gate. I always liked him, but I was so AFeaRed. But, now Snuffy seems to have fallen on hard times. So I have checked my fear at the door and offer him my love.
When I saw Snuffy today I started humming Lee Hazlewood’s A house Safe for Tigers, so I share it with you
May your house be safe from tigers, may you always be my friend…
I have grown obsessed with this Album – Marty Robbins: Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs – If you have not heard it, please go listen to the whole thing. And make sure you sing a long.
I think were I to run a dating game for my heart I would have the contest be to sing this song…the winner would most definitely win my heart.
Marty Robbins – Big Iron
Then, we go off and dance our outlaw balladeer hearts out to this:
Jessie Ware – What You Won’t Do For Love (Shouts! Rework)
Love

Today is a celebration of a genre of song I like to call:
Sing-A-Long Sunshine roll the windows down and get goosebumps as the sun goes down
The sun on this dawn of daylight savings time is so bright and clear over this City by The Bay. The haze is making my eyes ache and my heart burst. This is just the best sunshine sad song I have heard in ages. Well, SOHN is really just a master of just such things. Minimal smooth warming sadness like a walk alone on a beach where the sun is almost warm enough and the sand cool.
SOHN – Bloodflows
Go here and listen to more by SOHN –
Lee Hazlewood seems to find a way into whatever genre I am feeling..
I was looking for directions to my son’s Rugby practice on my really smart phone. We were leaving our sunny, flat and nearly warm homeland of La Mission for the more outer reaches of San Francisco close to the border with this place called Daly City where the wind roars and the fog eats the last rays of the sun. Instead of giving me directions to the field my phone played Lee Hazlewood songs…and I could not make the phone stop playing them. My phone is smart finally she gave us directions while she sang:
Sleep in the grass
And, last this sunshine with its warm and cool rays has got me floating away where only Air Supply can soar … roll down the windows sing loud and drive or sail away. LISTEN and SING!

Trouble is
January 11, 2013
I just ate Lee Hazlewood for breakfast in a bowl of mac and cheese and washed it down with Bill Monroe and Doc Watson in my tea.
Good Lord.
I have spent this morning sipping tea and listening to masters of the sad song.
As the owner of a melancholic happy heart that pushes my eyes to tear up anytime something vaguely resembling an act of humanness occurs. I love sad songs they connect us to each others love, troubles and humor, they humble us and hold us and remind us that even when the shit is ugly there is beauty and hope enough to sing and cry.
There are sad songs. There are sad voices. Then there is melancholic love of the heart so big that macaroni and cheese for breakfast doesn’t even come close to its comfort.
And I don’t have enough love in my heart to love this man or this song enough.
Lee Hazlewood – Trouble is a Lonesome Town
This song is perfect.
Bill Monroe and Doc Watson – What Would You Give in Exchange For Your Soul
This version of this song is something so special.
Love

Been wandering in San Francisco’s late November sunshine feeling a little cold in its rays, but bathed in the beauty of its light. This town.
Sounds like this today.
Full heart twangy, dreamy, surfy.
Love.
Is love.

love songs in the fog and sun …. yuna and steve hillage.
July 14, 2012
Saturday morning. The sun in making the fog glare at San Francisco this morning. The Potatoes in the oven smell like comfort heaven.
My son’s room looks like this. I am not looking. WowzaPoluzaShitStorm.
Instead the bath is run, candle lit, tea made, sage burning. blinders on for a bit….bath salts (in the bath) take me away.
Yuna covers Frank Ocean.
Steve Hillage One Two and Three xo
enjoy.

Zeitgiesting Krautrockin Soom T and Dee D Jackson…
June 27, 2012
Scottish Mc Soom T is hands down keeping me afloat in eccentric and smart bliss in this ‘will it stay for a bit sunshine’ in this SF summer. If you never heard of this Glaswegian get on it.
Soom T – They All Lie
Ran across this today too. Its good stuff. Violent J of ICP — that’s Insane Clown Posse (those Juggalo guys) went to Japan and had a short lived Kosmische post punk band – and the amazing stuff if just being released now. Take a listen.
New music with Johann Gottfried Herder and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
We Acediats
Which brought me back to my love of Krautrock.
So here. living in rainbow land…
Ash ra tempel- day dream
somehow that landed me in Dee D Jackson Land.
Listen and Love eclectically.

The Sun has returned and sent The Fog away here in the consistently ever changing City By The Bay. Living here has taught me to understand that change is consistent. The earth could give way at any moment. In the next block The Fog could roll in so thick it feels like rain. The Fog blanket you are wrapped in could be blown away by a surprise surge of wind leaving you the sweet option of leaping to the sunny side of the street to bask in the warmth of the possibly fleeting sun. Friends up and go and then return. We love the hell out of each other with the unspoken consistency of ever the changing microclimate weather cycle…But, life is a Long Song.
Today feels a little bit Jethro Tull…a little be dancy…and a little bit metal…
Jethro Tull – Life is a Long Song
I’m Coming Up (Tommie Sunshine Quaalude Remix)
Brain Police – Mushroom Caravan
and my son’s pick – The Wanted – Chasing The Sun
