Volume 13 - Winter 2016

King Bloodstone will make this a quick post. A note about the photo. Somehow, Mancini's Experiment in Terror was included on this volume. Don't know why really. It's not exactly an obscure instro. I kept the cover pic, but removed the tune. The terror remains however. As 2017 inches forward, the end indeed seems nigh, so you'll need a double dose for the month. Monarch's orders.

And twice the meds you'll get! Namely, three pairs of 2-Part songs. There's Drum Twist parts 1 & 2--a rolling and rumbling instro to make Sandy Nelson proud, including the gentlemen at the end telling us what we just heard. We have Image 1 & 2, which is pretty sweet, swanky and swingin'. Hank Levine brought us the utterly fantastic Midnight on V. 1. He shows up later with the jazzy bounce of Swingin' Village. Finally, let's raise our tiny cups and "kampai!" to a double shot of Saki--and pretend it's spelled correctly.

Side-Band-Name of the month prize goes to The Hub Caps. As things fall apart it's expected to lose a few wheel covers along the way. Dorky sounds like they're already driving with a missing gear, or a missing guitar string.

Things descend into Madness as The Blue Lights hypnotically lure us into the dark corners of our skulls. By the time we reach both sides of the 45 from Cacique and his Tribe, we just don't know where they hell we are. Cacique and his pals sound like the beatnik brethren to Nervous Norvus. Spooky Doo b/w Don't Make Waves is some kind of early warning system designed to put goatees on our chins as some kind of totemic protection. We may need it against all the orange faces coming our way.

Enjoy, and as the outgoing Chief told us, "Good luck!"
