My kids probably want to keep falling asleep to Eleventy Seven, but I’ll fall asleep to Lullaby Versions of Social Distortion
Social Distortion lullaby album due this month
Twinkle Twinkle Little Rock Star have announced the next collection of covers will be released on June 25th, featuring lullaby renditions of Social Distortion.
I guess, like a many people, I found Country Funk in the $1 stacks at Rasputin’s maybe 20 years ago. I spent a lot of time doing a vinyl rip back when CD-R’s were kind of expensive. The files available from CDBaby are better quality, of course, and well worth $10.
There was a Web site at countryfunk-do-net a few weeks ago, but it looks like they band let the domain expire.
Country Funk on CDBaby
Country Funk opened for many famous act’s in the 1960’s and 70’s. We got a lot of recognition from the boston scene, and the whole east coast for that matter.
We opened for Jethro Tull, Jimi Hendrix, Allman Bros, Van Morrisson, Neil Young, CSNY, Sly and the Family Stone, Ten Years After, Velvet Underground, and many, many others. Somehow we did not get the recognition we deserved. We made 2 albums together, one which was released and one that is just now being released after many years in the dust bin of musical history. It has been digitized and remastered onto a cd format and still sounds as good as ever. Our surviving members are thrilled to make this”new” music finally available to the public.
If you’d like to read about us and our history, please go to www.fantasticexpedition.com where you will find an article detailing those wide open times. We also have a wonderful web site. Please visit us at www.countryfunk.net and enjoy. We took great pleasure in reviving ourselves and remembering what an exciting time it was for us and for all of us. Rock N Roll will never die!
In addition, 2 of us….Hal Paris and Joe Pfeifer have released solo cd’s that are available thru cd baby and through our web site. Have a listen…….let us know, please.
I’m a sucker for any story about the religious approach to knowledge being crushed by science.
David Berreby – The obesity era
Today’s priests of obesity prevention proclaim with confidence and authority that they have the answer. So did Bruno Bettelheim in the 1950s, when he blamed autism on mothers with cold personalities. So, for that matter, did the clerics of 18th-century Lisbon, who blamed earthquakes on people’s sinful ways. History is not kind to authorities whose mistaken dogmas cause unnecessary suffering and pointless effort, while ignoring the real causes of trouble. And the history of the obesity era has yet to be written.
How long until we get a headline like “FBI’s Drone Spying Database Leaked”?
LA Times – FBI uses drones inside U.S. for spying, director says
Outgoing FBI Director Robert Mueller tells lawmakers that the agency uses drones domestically ‘in a very, very minimal way.’ He also says the NSA spy program helps track terrorist plots.
I’m interested to see where this goes. There are groups forming in the Bay Area, but not the East Bay.
The Sunday Assembly
The Sunday Assembly is a godless congregation that meets to hear great talks, sing songs and generally celebrate the wonder of life. It’s a service for anyone who wants to live better, help often and wonder more.
