Rebel Monday June 8th - New Frontier Lounge

DJ Slow is back at the New Frontier Lounge, Tacoma, with house DJ Jason Diamond this Monday the 8th for Roots Rock Reggae Rebel Monday from 9pm on. $2 Red Stripes!

Music to Cruise in the Boat By

DJ Slow meets DJ P and his Unicorns on the shores of Lake St. Clair over the 2008 4th of July weekend in cloudy Oly, WA. Despite the gray weather, oysters and white wine were consumed on the water which inspired this mellow sunny mix that's BBQ-ready. As you can see, visiting LSC turns any hard Brooklynite into a freshwater-swimming, oyster-slurping, west coast-loving dude.

Please enjoy the mix, and I apologise for the omissions in the tracklisting as supplied by DJ P. Anyone who can name the missing tracks will have my respect, and I might even buy you a beer.

Mekons' Rocketband

Check out a recent episode of This American Life that centers around the Classifieds in two Chicago papers. Particularly enjoyable (and relevant to this blog?) is an assemblage of a band of unfamiliar musicians by Jon of Mekons fame to record Bernie Taupin / Elton Johns' "Rocketman".

"Everybody likes Elton John a little bit".

WTF has re-located to Wrath66.com. While I could pretend to discuss the change in address and fresh approach with particular insight, I think it best for the curious reader to do his or her own investigation.

Enjoy - I sure do.
