Saturday Matinee – Docteur Legume et Les Surfwerks, Marcus King w/ MonoNeon & Chris “Daddy” Dave, and The BluesBones

“This is a fine set of slightly disturbed surf-space-euro instrumentals. The writing is excellent, and the tone quite intense. Spaghetti, surf, sci-fi, and creativity!” -Phil Dirt, Reverb Central

News of the Week: Iran is still being dickish. CNN, MS NOW and Politico threw tantrums for being told to stand in the corner. NBC released a report recommending that we keep refrigerator doors closed, and Xi Jinping chuckled at a picture of an autopen. A big nor’easter is pounding the northeast, while Hurricane Polo is headed for the Baja peninsula and Hurricane Nolo is about to whack Hawaii.

I probably missed some things, but we can cover those and more at Porch Time tomorrow. Be there or be equilateral rectangle.
