The Wighnomy Brothers show last weekend was……late. They went on at 2am and played until 6am. We left about an hour, or so into the set which was building and building, but we were tumbling and stumbling.

We have some good news which is still in the planning stage, but after a 2year break, we might be playing in front of real people once again.  Well, we would be playing surrounded by fish, water….and people.  The perfect environment to provide a soundtrack for.

- Are you Happy ?

- Have you seen UP, a good film, but not as good as Wall-E. Squirrel? Here are some other Nail Homes.

- I love how we live in one of the healthiest cities, in terms of access to organic and healthy foods, but this city is fast becoming a mecca of decadent foods, the creme brulee man, bi-rite creamery, humpry slocombe, and now…. Anthony’s Cookies ( the Cookies and Cream is probably the best cookie I have ever tasted).

Ra Ra Riot – Each Year – Compared often to the Weekend filled with Vampires, sweet melodies in pop form is not such a bad thing.  Sad lyrics disguised in happy music ?

Harry Belafonte – Sweetheart From Venezuela – From the excellent 1961 release, Jump Up Calypso. I always thought this guy and his daughter were just regular guests on the Love Boat. Who knew?

Jeff Buckley – Grace (Live @ King Theater, Seattle, 1995) – This track is part of the bonus bonus thing from Jeff Buckley’s Grace Around The World release. I have yet to see the documentary or the other DVD, but the CD release of the DVD is not anything special.  What makes this set worth it, is a live Seattle bonus disc which covers a whole concert because with only a finite number of songs that Buckley wrote, or covered, it’s his unique live take on these songs that fans are waiting for.

Rist – Slush – Morning harvest, everything is starting to wake up, you start to notice the light reflecting on the dew…and then you roll over and go back to sleep hoping to return to that dream. I see fishies in my future.
