The First A.I. Thanksgiving

According to Deep Dream Generator, no European colonists were present at The First Thanksgiving  but the locals had plenty of pumpkins and raw quail to eat.

Fiberglass Jungle, The Crossfires (1963) Formerly known as The Nightriders, The Crossfires released one 45rpm record in 1963, then abandoned the surf guitar sound, changed to folk rock and renamed themselves The Tyrtles. Then they changed the spelling and became The Turtles. (See also Flo and Eddie.)

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.
