Phil Lynott Devolved!
Scored tix to Blondie and Devo in September. Nice double billing! Gotta show the kids the greats while I can. I wish we were going to Thin Lizzy instead…
shake your rump to the funk!
Probably the best record I’ve ever found in a dollar record box. This record will blow minds and make you do exactly what it says… shake your rump! If you see a copy, pick it up! If you hate it, you have serious issues, like not knowing how to funk it up! The perfect fix to a sagging party.
patti smith, the godmother of punk.

Malvina Reynolds
Just picked up a nice used record called “Malvina”. I was browsing the stacks at End Of An Ear and came across a peculiar looking record with an old lady on it. I flipped it over and read the songs. One caught my eye, “Little Boxes”. I’m an avid Weeds fan and have the DVR set to “tape” each episode. The opening theme is “Little Boxes”. I always liked it because it sums up every planned community in any city. I slapped it on one of the demo tables to make sure it was the same and it was. SCORE! The rest of the album is excellent, almost rockin’! Malvina was from San Francisco and hung with the likes of Pete Seeger. She even did some guest appearances on Sesame Street as “Kate”. Her voice oddly reminds me of Victoria Williams. Malvina passed on in 1978.
New T-Shirt Coming by Jad Fair!
I contacted Jad Fair from Half Japanese about doing a T-Shirt for me. This is the one I decided on. Keeping up with the original Jim Flora “trumpet man” theme. These should be available in a few weeks!
