“To the person who left a painted rock that looks like a severed finger on the Arroyo Verde hiking trail, you’re my kinda people! I put the rock back to freak out the next passerby.”

Antiquarians
“Collectors like Hollister, left, and Porter Hovey, sisters with an appetite for late 19th-century relics like apothecary cabinets and dressmakers dummies, are turning their homes into pastiches of the past.”

Saturday Matinee – The Black Hole, Carolyn Wonderland, The Henrik Freischlader Trio & The Gary Hoey Band
The Black Hole (UK, 2008) is a short film starring Napoleon Ryan and a hole, directed by Phil Sampson and Olly Williams (Phil and Olly) who may or may not have been fans of Warner Bros. cartoons.
“Carolyn Wonderland describes herself as ‘a guitarist in a roomful of singers and a singer in a roomful of guitarists,’ was recently called ‘one of Texas’ finest Americana guitar-slingers’ by her hometown newspaper, The Austin American-Statesman.” – Alligator Records
The Henrik Freischlader Trio plays some damn good funkified blues. Freischlader is a German blues guitarist, singer-songwriter, producer, and self-taught multi-instrumentalist from Wuppertal, Germany.
Gary Hoey was in diapers when the Chantays recorded their 1962 classic, and he rips it up with respect.
Way too much happened this past week. I think some of the sensory overload is intentional and unnecessary, but we’ll cope.
