Stuff I Do When I’m Bored

Saturday Matinee – Cyriak, R.L. Boyce, The Delta Saints & The Lachy Doley Group

CYRIAK dropped a new one. Turn it up and annoy the neighbors.

Born in Como Mississippi in 1955, R.L. Boyce was a protégé of Mississippi Fred McDowell, R.L. Burnside and others who played at his parents’ weekend-long  house parties. Boyce says his initials stand for “R.L.”

The Delta Saints gots the bourbon-fueled bayou-rock swamp smokes.

Lachy Doley is the Jerry Lee Lewis of the Hammond C3. Lazy Onions is a mashup of  Deep Purple’s Lazy with Booker T. & The M.G.s’ Green Onions. Free download of Best Of The Lachy Doley Group album is available at his website. (Side note: The Hammond C3 organ is the same as a Hammond B3 but has a case instead of legs for support.)

Have a great weekend, and tomorrow maybe we’ll do something.
See you then.

Spiny Stuff

Bunkessa had an x-ray recently. I messed with it.

Colorized with Palette, sharpened with an old PhotoSuite 4.0 program, then ran it through Deep Dream Generator.

Brown Acid

So I was looking for an illustration to go with a story about the Little League World Series for posting on another website, and started with Charlie Brown. The pic was kind of boring by itself, and I wondered what the AI Deep Dreams Generator might come up with. Lower right is the cumulative result. Trip city.

Saturday Matinee – A.I. – The Carnival of the Ages, LA Priest, The Growlers & Sturgill Simpson’s Sunday Valley

“Where past and future collide in a retro-futuristic spectacle.”
[via Nag On The Lake]

LA Priest (aka Sam Dust, aka Sam Eastgate) found some electrical outlets in the Mexican jungle to play Carribean techno space lounge music.

The Growlers had some fun with a dark subject.

Enough of that oddness. Time for some jaw-dropping high speed electric bluegrass hollerin’ cowpunk, and Sunday Valley fits the bill. The band is defunct, but Sturgill Simpson is still kicking it… somewhere.

Well looky here. It’s the weekend again, so have a great one and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.

[Found here and there.]


This is the 800th edition of the .Gif Friday Post, and that means there are approximately 2.4K embedded .gif animations in The Archives. It all began with this:

Some of the old .gifs stutter or freeze and no longer animate properly and I blame WordPress. Perhaps I’ll suss out the problem some day.
Or not.

Saturday Matinee – A.I. Family Guy Pizza, Hot Club de Piracicaba, Jimmie Vaughan, and Robert Randolph & The Family Band

When you ask A.I. to create a Family Guy pizza commercial you get this.

Hot Club de Piracicaba performs Paganini in Django style.

Guitar great Jimmie Vaughan is still pickin’ the blues at 72.
At 04:12 he says it’s an Eddie Taylor song, but a 1952 Meteor Records 78rpm issue credits Elmore James & James Taub as the writers.

Robert Randolph and The Family Band
“In his adolescent years before being discovered by the secular community, [Randolph] was almost completely unaware of non-religious music. He went on exclaim in an interview that ‘I grew up and saw a lot of older guys playing lap steels and pedal-steel guitars in my church. I had never heard of the Allman Brothers, or even Buddy Guy or Muddy Waters.’ “ [Wiki}

And I had never heard the term sacred steel before today. Have a great weekend, see you back here tomorrow. Bring your laundry.
