Automatic man



This album took me about two weeks to realize how good it was. Lots of late nights,,,but now i love it.

The drummer from automatic man, Michael Shrieve is best known as the drummer in an early line-up of Carlos Santana's band Santana and for his performance at the 1969 Woodstock festival when he was 20 years old (Turning 20 on July 6th). He was the youngest musician to perform at The Woodstock Festival. He left the original Santana Band to pursue solo projects. One little known but worthy effort was his drumming in the 1976 release of Automatic Man with guitarist Pat Thrall.

He also played in the band Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve (with Sammy Hagar, Neal Schon, and Kenny Aaronson).

He also played drums on former Supertramp member Roger Hodgson's first solo album In the Eye of the Storm.

From 1979 to 1984, he collaborated as a percussionist in Richard Wahnfried, a side project of Klaus Schulze (another drummer turned electronic composer) while recording with Schulze his own first "solo" album of electronic music, Transfer Station Blue in 1984.

He has also collaborated with David Beal, Andy Summers, Steve Roach, Stomu Yamash'ta, Jonas Hellborg, Buckethead, and others.

In 2001, he appeared on the Revolution Void album Increase the Dosage.

He currently lives in Seattle, Washington and plays in Fusion Jazz group at ToST in Fremont, Seattle with Danny Godinez, Joe Doria, John Fricke, and Farko Dosumov.

Förra veckan blev Parlour #1 "record of the week" på picadilly records. Och vi är så stolta. Det e fina grejer i vår värld. Dessutom vet vi ju vilken låt de har gjort editen på. Svenskt och otroligt smörigt....

The Swedes bring us another lovely piece of Balearica on this new 7" from Parlour No1. I have tried to ID the tracks, but no one has a clue what they are. However, judging by the speed this has flown out, you lot aren't that bothered to know. I would urge you to be quick, I think there are more on order, but it may be gone by Friday...

Another mysterious Swedish package turned up out of the blue! Remember the Cos / Mes 7"? Well, this is a similar thing, in style at least. Allegedly, these are two edits though I don't know either of 'em (cue emails). Side-A "Amor" is no doubt a humongous Balearic rock number, puts me in mind of Chris Rea, Simple Minds and A Mountain Of One. Side-B has "Capriccio" this time on an oddball disco tip, wonky funky bassline, Linn drums, spangly guitars in there too, it's got it all. Really cute little 7" and I doubt it'll be round for long.

TGIF



My mother hates the Monkees. She thinks they are super fake. And yes, I can understand her. She liked the kinks, beatles, stones and the who, and the monkees were just a 60's backstreet boys, or hannah montana who ever that is. Me on the other hand weren't alive in the 60's so I don't care as much. Anyhow. Their film "Head" is awesome, and today we give you the intro and theme song. I do love this part of the film. And the film Head is actually really nice. Directed by a young Jack nicolson, cameos by, frank zappa among others.

Time



I've wasted a lot of money and I've wasted a lot of time. This one is no waste of time. A Chamber brothers classic, that you can hear both in a fancy department store or at the coolest clubs.

Electric



Eddy grant seriously have some nice beats. Most of the time he fucks it up with melody and song. In this case I do think it works. Just some good old plastic reggae for the summer.

Hippies

We do like hippies. They both look funny and have geat taste in music. So here is a torrent for download. Here is some info about the documentary:

“The Hippie movement was the most controversial and influential of modern times. Free love, the peace movement, drugs, Eastern religions and communes are explored. Meet the figures whose words and actions inspired it and destroyed it. See how the vibrations from that era are still resonating today in almost every aspect of American life, from the clothes we wear, to the Personal Computer and the Internet. Finally, historic footage, stills and period graphics are interwoven with expert commentary and eyewitness testimony.”

Have a nice weekend!
