"He's not the kind you have to Wind-Up on Sunday"

*According to the still valid (?) Baltimore Catechism record review section - the blasphemous version of the Roman Catholic Mass performed in Latin and heard here this morning was actually written to be performed in FU Major!

Unfortunately, much about JC's past suffers from bad translation. For example one on-line search finds him listed as the son of a highly-ranked Executive and a well-compensated spokes-god for the Vatican, another reports that his Hollier-than-thou rep is at stake as allegations of illegal uses of bodies and blood may be used to strip him of his super-powers. 

Jesus continues to weep.

Deep Listening Music - Fall Sleeps as Winter Awakens

Billy West & Tom Sandman*
Balmorhea
Nils Frahm
Ryuichi Sakamoto
Wendy Carlos


"Santa Claus forgot that there is no legal parking spot"

*Christmas In Kenmore Square was written, performed and produced by Tom Sandman & Billy West under the employ and encouragement of WBCN, Boston. I was the third member of this production trio in the early Eighties and it was a Masters Course in creativity, ability and friendship, not to mention non-stop fun every day.. Tommy just wrote to me and reverentially referenced the piece as "Billy's Masterpiece" (he's amazing)  - but the equal stars are Tommy's everything-else, the incredible radio station that was at 104.1 FM for decades and the storied crossroads in one of the great cites in the world.

Welcome Winter!
