Paris Burns and the West Wanes

Open Thread Image.jpg

Seems to me the western system is in absolute collapse. The corrupt deep state has failed to control and rule the world despite their best (and continuing) efforts. The Ukraine grift machine keeps on churning...money in and paybacks out...the big guy gets 10% after all. New evidence of China/ Biden crime family payouts are mounting. Meanwhile Europe is in chaos with protests in many countries besides France. My guess is we'll throw Europe under the bus as we often do our allies.

Macron was actually dancing at an Elton John concert
rather than fiddling while Paris is burning.

Album of the Week 7-8-23

Afternoon folks!

I've cleaned up and digitized a bunch of good stuff in the last couple of weeks. Starting off, there's an early 70's Etta James album on which she does some amazing covers of Randy Newman songs. After that, Art Neville (the elder Neville brother) has a compilation of early New Orleans rock n roll - great stuff!

There's scads of blues-rock this week with The Electric Flag, a Dr. Feelgood album from their early period with Wilko Johnson on guitar and and album from a less-well-known british artist Lord Sutch (sometimes known as "Screaming Lord Sutch") which features people you'll probably recognize - Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, John Bonham, Nicky Hopkins and Noel Redding.

After that, there's what I think is John Prine's best album "Diamonds in the Rough," and we finish up this week with some fun older recordings from Ukulele Ike.

Enjoy!
