Astroglide, thank you for the good idea and especially using the make-up. This band is awesome, and I can't believe they broke up in 2001. I saw them play a couple of times, the last one being at the Texas Union Ballroom, and I could swear it was more recent than '01, but time flys. !st time I saw them live, I thought the lead singer might be mildly retarded, and I'm still not so sure. He is one of the most riveting performers ever, anywhere. What a great band.

On the remote chance that anyone wants to see some vintage jazz, check out this great video of Art Blakey, with all-star lineup

Birth of a Creature - Shpongle

These guys have been hugely influential to the psychadelic trance movement and music is about the best produced stuff you'll hear. The linked vid is just their stuff over a cool animation, but it beats watchinig them stand behind turntables at a show.

Vigilantes of Love - Resplendant

a little known now defunct Athens, GA band - great songs - lousy label timing -

Emmylou Harris is singing backup on this track - and you'll see the lead singer playing a Gretsch thru a very old Fender Tweed - I ended up snagging those from him when money got tight -

(I might own the Rickenbacker too - I bought one of his Rickie's but I don't think it was that one)

good guy - will ask him about a house concert at some point.
