Pheonix at Lollapalooza on August 4, 2013. Not much more to say except that I’m a huge fan of both Pheonix and high production values. Lolla delivers in spades – an incredible experience.

I didn’t f%^& it up
…much at least.
Pretty funny video from Katie of Broad Comedy. She has some hilarious songs on her YouTube Channel and also at katiegoodman.com. If you need a warning for strong language in her videos, here it is!
Thanks Lee Camp for the find.
Brothers & Sisters
Stumbled upon this great Ziggy Marley show.
The Butler did it.
And by “it” I mean “learned how to play guitar as well as anyone I’ve seen” … enjoy and definitely see John Butler if you ever have a chance. He is one of the very best musicians on this planet.
I’d take Phoenix the band over Phoenix the city.
One of the best concert videos I’ve seen in a long time. Do yourself a favor and click full screen.
People, Hell and Angels
While looking for a photo to go with this great concert video of Jimi Hendrix I wanted to share, I synchonistically discovered that Jimi apparently has a “new” album that you can listen to right now: People, Hell and Angels.
Reuters explains that the songs on People, Hell and Angels were to be the follow-up to Electric Ladyland:
“After the huge success of the (Jimi Hendrix) Experience and those first albums, he wanted to branch out more, and the blues sound on this is just different from the others,” said Janie Hendrix, Jimi’s step-sister and president and CEO of Experience Hendrix, the company founded by the musician’s father to oversee the star’s estate.
…Feeling constrained by the limitations of the Jimi Hendrix Experience trio (which included drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding), the guitarist had already started working with an eclectic group of musicians.
They included the Buffalo Springfield’s Stephen Stills, drummer Buddy Miles, saxophonist Lonnie Youngblood and bassist Billy Cox, with whom Hendrix had served in the U.S. military.
The resulting sessions, culled from 1968 and 1969, form the basis of “People, Hell and Angels,” co-produced by Janie Hendrix, original engineer and mixer Eddie Kramer and long-time Hendrix historian John McDermott.
Click to listen to the album – it’s a genuine treat. The photo is by Brian T. Colvil and (speaking of treats) here’s the FIFTY-SIX AND-A-HALF MINUTE video of Jimi Hendrix live in Stockholm, 1969.
Wisdom from tramps, beats from sheep
We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
~The Tramp as The Great Dictator (full text by Charlie Chaplan)
John Boswell (melodysheep) is back with a new single, this one of Chaplin’s speech in The Great Dictator. More of John’s excellent work on my blog.
Fistful of Awesome: Guy on a Buffalo edition
What do you get when you take one part Grizzly Adams, one part Flight of the Conchords, one part Mystery Science Theater and one part Buffalo? Four parts of awesome! Watch all 4 parts of this incredibly quirky series starting with part one and get some links below.
You can hear more from The Possum Posse on their website and – if you are so inclined and in which case I’m a bit concerned about you – watch the entire hour-and-a-half saga of Buffalo Jones on YouTube.
Happy Birthday, Neil Young
Flat-out my favorite musician, ever. Watch it through for a Star Wars-ish treat and/or check out the Crazy Horse version.
