The Spotnicks

I bought today for 1 €, in a vinyl record store in bankruptcy (sniffing and drying my tears), a 45rpm E.P. (released on a french label : President records) of the famous swedish surf band from the 60's The Spotnicks (i thought it was a great found, but i can hear Mr Dantefontana laughing !).
The band is still playing, on tour mainly in Sweden, check their official website

Here is a video of the men in action with the track Rocket Man from 1962:

uploaded by Thundernest
As he pointed out : "The Rocket Man (1962) was addapted from Russian folksong "Polyushka Polye" or "Polyushko-Pole" (Cossack Patrol/Meadowland/Song Of The Plains/Oh My Fields/Cavalry of the Steppes).This song with its inspiring melody, which is restlessly driving on, was created in the years of the Russian revolution 1917-1922. It probably was sung by the white army first, but soon also by the "Reds". First recorded by The Red Army Choir in the 1930s on Melodiya (Lev Knipper/ Viktor Gusev)."

As the band is still playin' nowadays, running a website and making records, i can't share this record here.

Harry Smith

harry smith " was an artist whose activities and interests put him at the center of the mid twentieth-century American avant-garde. Although best known as a filmmaker and musicologist, he frequently described himself as a painter, and his varied projects called on his skills as an anthropologist, linguist, and translator. He had a lifelong interest in the occult and esoteric fields of knowledge, leading him to speak of his art in alchemical and cosmological terms."

Here is the fourth part of his Early Abstractions project (1946-57)

60's asian a go-go beat

Hooray ! This morning i received a package from Japan : 3 CD-Rs samplers generously send to me by Mr Pretty Flamingo. Yes about 100 tracks of original 60's rock garage beats from asia for FREE. All he asks in return is that you do the same with your own favorite music , that's a deal ! His samplers are rips from original LPs and 45rpms , one of the samplers is dedicated to the Honk Kong scene.
I have to confess here that i don't have finish yet to rip my own 60's french a go-go beat records ... i am working on it, don't worry pretty, i will send the CD-Rs as soon as possible !
Now i know what some of you might say : why not simply sharing downloadable .mp3 files samplers ? My answer is because there is no better feeling than to open his mailbox in the morning and to found a little package from the other side of planet earth with unknown music inside !
Thanks again Toshi...

Jim Nollman - playing music with animals

(c.photo: Jim Nollman 2001)

"I play music with animals. I've tried it with ravens, dolphins, bellbirds, frogs, orcas, humpback whales, lobsters, elk, wolves."

Using a wide range of instruments, from the 1000 years old wood "dolphin sticks" and "wales drums" that the Australian aborigines were using to call the whales, to the good ol' electric guitar and even a specialy designed Peavey mandolin to play with high pitched dolphins and many other species...Now listen to these underwater strange and beautiful melodies.
