West coast fried braincells

Not to warm up any deadhead jokes -- though we still don't know how many copies of the the Eleven Mrs I-am-not-a-Deadhead Tilton has -- but there is enormous fun to be had here where the vaults of the Bill Graam Organisation are spilling out as mp3 streams.

Here is the playlist for the last half hour or so:

Taj Mahal, Elvin Bishop, Boz Scaggs
Jam Session: We Gonna Rock

06/30/1971 Fillmore West



Tower of Power

Down to the Nightclub (Bump City)

03/23/1975 Kezar Stadium



Elton John

Country Comfort

11/12/1970 Fillmore West



Elvis Costello

Radio, Radio

06/07/1978 Winterland



Jefferson Airplane

White Rabbit

02/04/1967 Fillmore Auditorium



Bob Dylan and The Band

Rainy Day Women #12 & 35

01/30/1974 Madison Square Garden



Cream

Sunshine of Your Love

10/04/1968 Oakland Coliseum Arena

It's all a bit more raucous than my normal morning listening, but there's nothing wrong with stuff that makes you want to jump around the room flapping like an excited dodo. This bulletin on Imminent extinction brought to you via Crooked Timber. The really humiliating game is to see how many of the songs I can recognise without peeking at the playlist.

I suspect it's all becoming fashionable again. I had to venture into a large emporium of popular music to purchase a small token for my young son whose birthday approached apace. He wanted something to do with Eminem, which I had been under the erroneous impression was a form of American multicoloured confectionary. As I struggled through the heaving crowds of young people I was astonished to realise that the ear-drum-rupturingly loud sound was in fact "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream. Goodness me.

Textile formatting works here. Double hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes, quotes are automatically smartened. You can put dashes and asterisks around text to make italics bold and other silly effects easily.
  • Text wrapped in Asterisks which * will be bold. The asterisks must touch each end of the bold text. There must a space before the first and after the last.
  • Text wrapped in underscores - _ - will be italicised. The underscores must touch each end of the italics. There must a space before the first and after the last.
  • Paragraphs starting bq. will be block quoted. There must be no space before the "b" and one space after the full stop.
  • A hyperlink is made by wrapping the link text in double quotes, followed immediately by a colon, then the URL. If there is a question mark in the URL, wrap the whole lot in square brackets.
  • I use two classes to mark up text that deserves it. sane text looks like this. loony text looks like that. The syntax for those is %(sane)[space] sane text %; loony is left as an exercise to the reader.
