"So I heard you say that no-one ever wrote you a love song, 
Well let me be the one to prove you wrong..."

(Ridiculously pretty song found while going through this list.). Sounds like something @Knuckledraggerwould spin.

Looks like Brent now sings with the Scary Pockets

 

Cause we were in the Santa Cruz mountains today and someone was raving about the barely alive KPIG which lead to a Spotify playlist they created and the reference up North... 

 

 

Jimi Hendrix set at the 1970 Isle of Wight. Guinness Book record for the largest festival ever with 700,000. Only a few weeks before he died at the age of 27. In full, completely amazing flight here. 

Funnily enough I've walked across the area that that iconic festival was held, now totally rural with a few cows and sheep. Absolutely no sign at all that it was ever anything other.

Found the pic. This is looking down the bank towards the site of the festival

 

And this is from the same viewpoint fifty-one years ago

 

The 1970 festival resulted to serious problems with the inhabitants. There are only 120,000 (at the time) living on the Isle of Wight, so 700,000 stoned, drunk and rowdy festival goes were really a bit of a problem.

The festival has been revived in recent years, but is much smaller - 50,000 or so, and it is much more tightly organised and managed. Also, locals have now entered into the entrepreneur spirit and put their fridge and freezer outdoor and sell bottled water, beer and ice cream to festival goers.

I like how they shot this video...

Loved their first album, which was very 80s/90s pop. This one seems to have jumped forward 20 years or so. Pastiche? They do it well and I enjoy it so who cares ...

It's not a song but a whole set of a few good ones

 

Also not a song, but this is cool.

 

Neat!  Thanks for sharing.

Unrelated:  my girl Alyson (bassist extraordinaire) covered one of the more wack Mr. Bungle tunes (sounds very Secret Chiefs 3):

 

Are you feeling the music? Jasmine Jams to Zakk Wylde's solo from Ozzy Osbourne's No More Tears... way too short:

 

Scuttle Buttin' – Stevie Ray Vaughan:

Strangest camera cuts I've ever seen here. I wouldn't say these guys have aged like fine wine, but they are still fun to listen to.

 

Dat kick.

That Lous and the Yakuza was fantastic.

 

I'll leave this here

I’ll pop this over here too
