  1. Wow. I finally watched the Netflix doc.  I'm so interested in the making of this.  There is so much footage that probably wasn't easy to get, especially near the end where Billy is actively scamming people while on bail.  Impressive doc production.  While having no narrator, the story was told entirely through footage and I wonder if there was anyway to make any of this look good with creative editing.  Some of the participants had a great spirit about the failure and their involvement, while being open to having responsibility but also humbly respecting the fact that they believed in what they were doing.

    I just don't understand how anyone would buy into this guy. He has one of them contrived, creepy, untrustworthy, even forced perma-grins as seen on the face of such people such as

    or even a president

    VIP appears to be the most expensive 3 letters these days.  He took advantage of that in such a selfish manner.

    I've been hunting my house looking for my old Slip cds and the search was fruitless. Then as fate would have it, Cleantone recently upped a Dropbox filled to the brim with old, and newer, and older Slip recordings:

    Enjoy!

    CleanTones is a hero.  Considering the massive library…any suggestions?  There are a few I recognize already but goddamn that is alot of GB upon which to decide.

  3. Sorry for the anxiety.

    my credit card was hijacked for $6000 and I had to turf it and get a new one. I thought I'd updated my billing correctly but the invoice was hosed and license expired.  Thanks to Davey-Boy for notifying me.

     

     

  4. Wed/Thurs/Fri for sure.

    I'm not going to make it for Earle but will be there for TTB.  Definitely Byrne, but also will do a quick pop-in at Trampled by Turtles.  Going friday for stuff.  Chet Faker seems interesting enough, yeah?

    54-40 unplugged though?

    "What it was," he explains after I have prompted him, "was over at John's house, and it was just a group of us. And instead of just getting roaring drunk and partying—I don't even know if we were staying over or anything—we were all just in these chairs, and the lights were out, and somebody started masturbating, so we all did."

    There would be about five of them: McCartney, Lennon, and maybe three of Lennon's friends. As they each concentrated on their mission, anyone in the group was encouraged to shout out a name that would offer relevant inspiration.

    "We were just, 'Brigitte Bardot!' 'Whoo!'" McCartney says, "and then everyone would thrash a bit more."

    At least until one of them—the one you would perhaps expect—opted for disruption over stimulation.

    "I think it was John sort of said, 'Winston Churchill!'" McCartney remembers, and acts out the aghast, stymied reactions.
