"Superlative power pop from the Fannies.” Can you say that GID? “I just did!” Guess I’m Dumb
Drank the ocean
Moved my feet to a different sound

There are a few moments in the history of The Rolling Stones that I wouldn’t want to be a fly on the wall for, especially in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but the one I would most like to sit in on probably doesn’t have any of the actual band members in it.
It occurred in 1968, when the execs who’d given the band and a production company a ton of money to make a Rolling Stones motion picture all got together in a Soho screening room to watch the finished product. I can only imagine the backslapping and self-satisfaction in that room prior to the projector starting up. A bunch of men in suits that cost more than your car, convinced they’ve got a surefire hit on their hands, and they’re all going to be cumming money until the 1980s at least. Because surely, this is exactly what they asked for, right?
This film is just A Hard Day’s Night but with The Rolling Stones, right? Sure, it’ll be a little bit different, the movie was made four years after the Fabs’ knockabout comedy larks, and the world was a very different place than it was then. It’ll essentially provide the same service, though, some larks and fun for the teeny boppers to watch their favourite pop stars get up to some shenanigans with. Perhaps with a little more sex and salaciousness, as The Stones were a little more dangerous, but beyond that, fun for all the family? Right?
Then the picture was screened. One of the execs had brought along their wife to see the film, and she vomited in shock. Their money had been spent not on A Hard Day’s Night but with Jagger, Richards and chums, but on a surreal, violent crime thriller that – well, it was a little more sexual than A Hard Day’s Night, as they expected, but they probably weren’t expecting it to feature bisexuality, gender fluidity and threesomes between the main cast members.
Because this wasn’t a knockabout romp. This was Performance, and if it was any consolation to those scandalised suits, it wasn’t really going down any better in the Stones’ camp either.

"My last night in London. I head home tomorrow. I have lots of new songs and videos to start posting next week. This is an older song that just got put up on streaming. It’s called ‘The Light Between’. I wrote this one early last year. It’s about finding beauty in imperfection, brokenness and the in-between moments in life.Midjourney v8.1 is very cool. I’ve just been playing around with it on my phone. Made this one tonight. I got early access. It’s very different. It’s so much fun when a new version comes out. So many new ideas. "The Light Between(Verse 1)Light finds the cracks,In walls we build.Joy sneaks in gaps,Where doubt gets filled.(Pre-Chorus)The gold’s in the break,The bloom’s in the fall.What bends won’t breakIt holds it all.(Chorus)Chase the glow, not the ghost,Find the most in the least.Life’s a dance, slightly strange,Every fall is a chance to change.(Verse 2)Time marks your skin,With stories true.Scars where you’ve been,Show what you knew.(Pre-Chorus)The gold’s in the break,The bloom’s in the fall.What bends won’t breakIt holds it all.(Chorus)Chase the glow, not the ghost,Find the most in the least.Life’s a dance, slightly strange,Every fall is a chance to change.(Bridge)Between dark and dawn,Between gone and here.Between lost and found,That’s where we appear.(Outro)Every crack, every break,Every heart learns to wake.There’s light in the woundHeal slow, bloom soon.

seeing as how my entire raison d’être for doing this was to share links to other blogs posting ROIOs that I liked and hope that my taste was suitable catholic enough to warrant other’s interest here is today’s post from Paul at ATSE . . . .mentioning a new batch of recordings via the legendary Guitars101 . . . . . follow his links heck visit his site and place your orders or try the list!
Here's a really interesting thing that just happened. Yesterday, somebody posted a list of dozens of newly liberated bootlegs, nearly all of them recorded at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, New York. They're generally from about 2012 to 2019, though there are some exceptions. They include many of the biggest name musical acts to pass through there. Here's the list (scroll down the thread a bit to see it):
https://www.guitars101.com/threads/you-didnt-get-this-from-me.843644/
Actually, I see that's only a partial list. Here's a PDF file of the complete list, which is twice as long:
https://pixeldrain.com/u/86W6nJCY
If you're interested, I highly recommend you grab the ones you want for yourself, while the grabbing is good. Who knows, the links may all die at any time.
There's good news and bad news. The good news is that, of the ones I've sampled so far, the sound quality is fantastic. Every single one is a soundboard. Many also are high quality videos. The bad news is that most of them are mono, and most are just a single sound or video file, with no song list or anything else. I can't do anything about the mono, but I could fix the other issues. I want to take some of these and give them my usual treatment, chopping them into mp3s, giving them song titles, making cover art, and so forth. But I can only do that for a small percentage of this very long list, especially since I have so much other music I want to post too.
So that gets me to a poll. If you want to see me fix up and post certain concerts from that list, please write which ones you want the most. Just give the artist name and year, and I can figure out the rest. To keep things reasonable, please list no more than ten. I don't know how many I will convert, but I'll try to do at least the top vote getters. Thanks. Paul ATSE
. . . .and of course it takes Gary Lucas to focus my attention with this wonderful post of The Dave Grisman Quintet - RICOCHET!
All a bit too heavy . . .and serious? Well here's a lil ditty I posted a year or so ago on that there Flackennahoek!?
[Polish? 1970]

Might start the day with some peaceful contemplative meditation musics . . . we love Diabaté
. . . in their usual inimitable style
A sad one to start the close of day with this one . . . . posted only nine days ago do we know this or this guys (band?)
Sometimes walking away is the only way to save your heart. "That's Life" is a minimalist acoustic indie-soul ballad for the mature heartbreaks—the ones where you aren't angry, just exhausted, and realizing that sometimes the good ones simply have to end.
Another gem from Kelly Boesch and this one struck me by the rendering gof people the skin tones and the flesh the quality of the materials used to ‘dress’ her imaginations! May have missed this one before . . . . . .
