Oh boy, more sanctions...how has that worked out? It is obvious they can't learn. Well here they go again against China and India...what is that, about half the world's human population? You think it might come back and bite us in the ass? I do. But it's not just sanctions against other nations, no, they are sanctioning the students peacefully protesting the genocide in Gaza. Expelling them, locking them out of their dorms, targeting them as they develop their careers. It is the empire come home to roost.

Album of the Week - 5-18-24

Afternoon folks!

Here's a bunch of good stuff for you. Starting out there's a compilation of harmonica player Junior Wells' early Chicago recordings and a compilation of songwriter Percy Mayfield's recordings for Ray Charles' label. Following that there are albums by John Hammond, Johnny Winter, monster guitarist Bob Brozman and we finish up with an album by country rock artist, Chris Hillman.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Saturday Open Thread - 5/18/24 - Odds and Ends

I managed to wipe out from the face of the cyber space my planned OT, so this is a second try, reasonable facsimile of my masterpiece in my head and the ether net world.

First, a busy week. Weekend will be relaxing, and if I get to go see the zydeco band Sunday, I will post a video next week.

Cops, and you, can use viewfind app on your Iphone, see thru heavily tinted car windows. That tint that makes you feel safe is just to keep the sun out, not necessarily cops, but screw the 4th Am.
