John Lennon drunk again

One of the scuzziest records to come out of the early nineties was the 'drunk john lennon' 45 on shitsville. The DJL project yielded just this single, a truly inspired document of bored twentysomethings before the internet or grand theft auto or cellphones. Check out a boredom few have ever dared commit to vinyl.

Vodoo Vibe

Hey John - Beverage Concepts is coming out to NY from California on March 22nd & 23rd (Thurs/Friday) on media tour, and I wanted to see if you had 20mins or so for us to stop by and show you early samples of the new Jimi Hendrix energy drink line that rolls out to consumers this summer. We'll be there Thurs/Friday March 22/23 and I'll have Press Samples to leave with you. The first energy drink, called Vodoo Vibe: The Liquid Experience rolls will be followed by holistic teas later this year and vitamin waters early in '08. We're partnering with MusiCares to give a portion of the proceeds to this well-known charitable foundation to help promote music and the Jim Hendrix legacy.

We can keep it short if you're swamped that day ... we have a few slots open still
... you free?

Eric Von Schmidt 1931-2007

BOB DYLAN:
Of course we had heard about Eric Von Schmidt for many years. The name itself had become a password. Eventually, after standing in line to meet him, there it was -- his doorstep, a rainy day, and he greeted his visitors, inviting them in. He was told how much they liked Grizzly Bear and he then invited the whole bunch to the club, where he was about to perform the thing live. "C'mon down to the club" he said -- "I'm about to perform it live."

We accepted the invitation. And that is what his record is. An invitation. An invitation to the glad, mad, sad, biting, exciting, frightening, crabby, happy, enlightening, hugging, chugging world of Eric Von Schmidt. For here is a man who can sing the bird off the wire and the rubber off the tire. He can separate the men from the boys and the note from the noises. The bridle from the saddle and the cow from the cattle. He can play the tune of the moon. The why of the sky and the commotion from the ocean. Yes he can.
