Day 11: “The Bridge, we’ll build it now”

My Morning Jacket - The Waterfall

Looks like they've played there three times.

Saw them there in 2016. They played their own set, and then backed up Roger Waters. Both sets had Lucius on backup. Definitely a high point of the shows that year.

Ok, so this selection isn’t about pets or animals, but I couldn’t resist:
Here’s my Ella box and Ella in a box.
She was sitting there when I walked in the room a few minutes ago, so that made the decision easy. (Ella cat, not Ella Fitzgerald)

She’ll be 16 next month, but still playful and very sweet. (Also referring to Ella cat)

Day 14 - I had a dog

I had a dog and her name was Olive, but she passed earlier this year. She was a very sweet Newf. I definitely miss having a dog around - once the baby is less work, we’ll get another.

Here’s David Bowie:


And here’s Olive:

It’s been too long since we’ve had a pet in our home. I’m reminded of this by my children on almost daily basis. Someday.

Day 15: “Got mashed potatoes, ain’t got no T-Bone”

Mashed Potatoes always makes me think of this sample used in "B-Boys Makin' With The Freak Freak", but also the cover taken at a drive-in diner makes me think of food.

Day 15 - food

De Frank Jr - Chicken

I was wondering what to play today when I saw the next disc in my to-play pile is this one. Originals of this singer (not entirely sure if he's from Ghana or Cote d'Ivoire) are some of the rarest and most expensive of west African records. The reissues of his Psychedelic Man is one of my favourites and I just wish more were put out. I think this Mukatsuku label is Juno's own label and it took these songs from a compilation by Oriki on Cote d'Ivoire funk.












And here's the album I wish somebody would reissue - so much

I've had dangerous veal cutlets at the Copper Penny
Well what you get is a breaded Salisbury steak in a Shake 'n Bake
And topped with a provocative sauce of Velveeta and uh, half and half, uhuhuhuh...
Smothered with Campbell's tomato soup

Tom Waits is somehow making this sound good right now...
