Heres a post in tribute to Arthur Lee, the late great frontman of one of my all time favorite bands: LOVE. The album this song is off of (Four Sail) was made with a new group after the original LOVE lineup had disbanded. It might not be official LOVE, but its still a really nice song to take you into the weekend.

...yeah, thats a snap of the storied Whisky that I took the other day. It's where bands like Love, Led Zeppelin, the Doors and Janice Joplin niced it up back in the 60s...I've been there once in the ten years that I've lived here as the bands that are regularly on stage never really did anything for me...oddly, when I lived back in NYC I went to CBGBs on the regs but whatever's clever, yo...alt...

In case you're wondering where I got the name "Signed D.C." from, there are two sources. They are my actual intials, and a song from the great 60s band, Love. Signed D.C. is a cut on their first, self-titled Lp (from 1966). It's a stark, acoustic number about a heroin addict. Arthur Lee sings it in an especially anguished, tired voice.I first started listening to Love about fifteen years ag...

So I grew up in California and they played "Little Red Book" alot on K-Earth 101 and I didn't really know too much beyond that . Until high school, which was for me 78-82, when I finally got the Rhino Best of Love lp. I fell in LOVE with that record right away. I realized that this was a secret of rock,these brilliant recordings of such imaginative songs by the forgotten Aurthur Lee. RIP I'm th...

Legend has it that the late Syd Barrett - yes, he actually was alive all these years, up until about a week ago - might have copped some heavy-ass riffage for 1967's "Interstellar Overdrive" from Arthur Lee and Love's punkified version of "My Little Red Book" (off their 1966 debut LP). Listen to them side b' side...decide for thine own self...and God bless the hell outta both those cats. RIP Sy...

..."excuse me, sir. Do you have soul?"...well that all depends...I've always loved that little exchange between Rob Gordon and a young customer in the film adaptation to Nick Hornby's book High Fidelity, it reminds me of some of the conversations I've had on here...hard to believe that we've circled the sun 365 times since I joined this thing but we have...a fekkin' year to the day...I've met a...

Hey Moggers. I don't know how down you are with it but I've been having fun with Skype lately. My bestest bud in LA uses it for all phone now and I had the most lovely chat with The Boy Flood the other night. If I'm on give me a buzz. My user name is fistula_spume. Of course. Love to talk sometime with anybody who is willing. I'm up for it tonight if anyone is connected. Give me a buzz yo!

Back in the pre-internet era, I used to ride my pet dinosaur to a job at a high school where I was the youngest person on the staff by a good ten years.One of the older staff members revealed one day, somewhat sheepishly, that he'd been a member of a one-hit psychedelic band back in the 60's. Needless to say, i thought this was unspeakably cool. I looked at the album cover in the store trying ...

When I was a boy, I thought about the times I'd be a man…I have to admit something- I'm getting rather annoyed at people shouting "fourteen" at me. I brought it upon myself- here in Michigan, anyone with the old white on blue plates had to exchange their plates two years ago and rather than getting stuck a random jumble of letters and numbers on the back of my car for another ten years, I made ...
