  • Fight Test EP by The Flaming Lips I've listen to this EP several times since I wrote about The Flaming Lips last night... I felt I just had to share it. This EP made such a big impression on me, and since I first heard this EP (received as a gift from Amy Bentley-Smith) I've bought...
  • I Am The Walrus / Goo Goo G' Joob Every day has it's threads. We wake up, move through the day and different ideas come at us from different directions. Sometimes they seem to form a meaningful pattern - sometimes it's just an abstract tapestry. Here's a few threads I'd like to ...

  • Trouble Every Day For Hungry Freaks, Daddy For some odd reason I've chosen a couple of Frank Zappa songs as my Fourth of July/Independence Day posting... Both of these songs are from an album that's still inspiring and relevant 45 years after it was released (1965) - Freak Out! by The Mothe...
