A nice posting this week about Lulu on "Funky 16 Corners", featuring a couple cuts from her 1970 LP New Routes, which was her attempt at a Dusty in Memphis type thing (it's the album with "Oh Me Oh My").  Great pic of Lulu too

The Dirty Old Man tune has a particularly spicy guitar part!

Needed a new forum for stuff like this: Rock Fonts!

http://www.rockrage.com/media/fonts/musicfonts.html

Just testing one of the general access boards. Things are looking to be normal, at least at first glance. Carry on.

From Memorial Day weekend: Sly Stone in an interview (!) with Chris Douridas on KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic."  I disagree with Chris on some matters - I think Sly botched the production of There's a Riot Goin' On in his PCP haze - but it's nice to hear Sly is lucid.  Tidbit: he thinks Terry Melcher knew all the way back when that Charlie Manson wanted to kill him.

TANC: the Morning Show crew were reading emails from Fogheads who were complaining because they played "Peaches en Regalia" yesterday; more than one person said they "hate" it because it's "boring and repetitive". But hearing "You Found Me" 8 times a day *isn't*??

A good if short interview with the most humble musician I've ever encountered, Bill Withers:

This is the most unbelievable optical illusion you have ever seen. 

You literally cannot believe what your eyes tell you.

I couldn't see this earlier in our motel, bad internet, but it turns out the same image has been making the rounds in a physics teacher newsletter I subscribe to:

http://richardwiseman.wordpress.com/2009/06/23/possibly-the-best-optical-ilusion-i-have-seen-all-year/

it deals with the way the colors and after-images screw with your perceptions.  Definitely something for me to hold on to for next year's classes!

Something of a TANC: KFOG played Leonard Cohen's version of "Hallelujah" this morning (a leftover from yesterday's request show); now Cohen says-- NO MORE COVERS OF THIS SONG, PLEASE!

By the same guy who does Funky16Corners, this music blog one is more pop-oriented:

http://ironleg.wordpress.com

he does podcasts, too:

straight from vinyl it seems, lots of hiss and crax
