... I'd want to look like King Tuff's bassist, Magic Jake:
Because he get's the chicks and the MOMs.

But until I'm reincarnated as the next Wooderson the plan remains to review the week in shows and get the rest of these photos up on the ol' flickr. (Because unlike the face-book, flickr allows you to keep the rights to the photos you post.)
Garage and pop melody lovers! Two more bands have been added to the Crystal Stilts show tonight at Luigi's in Sacramento: La Sera and MagicTrick will be joining the current lineup that also includes Sacramento bands Arts & Leisure, SneezeAttack, and Nacho Business (stream the show below to hear their live set on The Triplofonic Sounds!)
La Sera is Katy from Vivian Girls and Magic Trick is Tim Cohen of San Francisco's The Fresh & Onlys (both projects I've played on the TS, so you know I like them.) The last time I saw Crystal Stilts live was last summer at the Sol Collective with the English Singles and Nacho Business shortly after the Hub shut down for business. (That show was actually slated to happen at The Hub and luckily the folks at Sol Collective graciously opened their doors for a fantastic show.)
Also noticed that the showtime at Luigi's has changed from 8 to 7pm and cover is now $8. Get there early and mingle with the bands people. There's only so much networking you can do with a computer and unfortunately having a beer and slice of pie with your friends and favorite music makers ain't one of 'em.

While Theo and Quill are away, Lady Kay comes out to play... records! Quill is in Lampoc and poor Theo is car-less in Sacramento. It's Friday the 13th and I should have eaten more. I was actually shaking from low blood sugar and trying not to scratch the vinyl I was cueing throughout the show. I think during one of my last back-wraps I even started talking about the songs like they were flavors; sweet and savory, buttery french tunes or something. Somebody get me some apple juice and a giant Nation's grilled cheese!

I'd like to point out that while my show page from two weeks ago has a photo of English singer Julie Driscoll on it I completely forgot to play her cover of Donovan's "Season Of The Witch." (Thank you again, Lady, for forgetting to feed yourself properly.) Well, I managed to slip it in the second set of the show this evening and found the original 60s-produced music video to share here. The set design is super simple in concept but just as far-out and (datedly) cool and colorful. And that fur coat! It puts Penny Lane's to shame (Sean are you reading this?! I have to count on another Almost Famous band-aid to understand these layered movie references!) Watch the first minute or two and see what I mean:
