I fine way to spend any day. <a href="http://www.steinbeck.org/Bio.html">Steinbeck's</a> description of Cannery Row in Monterey also describes the book itself, and fuck it, while we're at it, life," a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream" It is full of, "as the man once said, whores, pimps, gamblers, and sons of bitches, by which he meant Everybody. Had the man looked through another peephole he might have said, saints and angels and martyrs and holy men, and he would have meant the same thing." So, anyway it put me in a mood. Reflective as all get out. I needed some music to ease the burden of all that struggling for purchase and to try to channel Mack and the Boys, as well as Doc. Of course, let's face it, I needed another bottle of beer for existentialism in a hammock on a sunny afternoon. What called to me, what siren of true fine debauchery, you ask? <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/Snd9Fr8yCPI/AAAAAAAAALg/wZTa7GUcU2k/s1600-h/200px-Littlefeatalbum.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/Snd9Fr8yCPI/AAAAAAAAALg/wZTa7GUcU2k/s320/200px-Littlefeatalbum.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365895017685715186" /></a><br />LITTLE FEAT's first album, released in January 1971. The tracks HAMBURGER MIDNIGHT and CRACK IN YOUR DOOR did the trick. Lowell George's nasty ass slide guitar an scratchy vocals with Roy Estrada on sloppy bass and shrill backing vocals, both fresh from leaving ZAPPA and THE MOTHERS. Add Bill Paine tinkling the ivories and Richard Hayward bangin' the skins and it's blissfully obscene. The record was a complete failure, selling only 11,000 copies. They never attempted recorded anything so bizarre again. Too bad. <br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SneFpF7BANI/AAAAAAAAAMA/Zz3YFxInMUs/s1600-h/YearbookBookFront-med.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 144px; height: 145px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SneFpF7BANI/AAAAAAAAAMA/Zz3YFxInMUs/s200/YearbookBookFront-med.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365904422046073042" /></a><br />Next cut was LEAVE ME ALONE, some <a href="http://www.incrediblecasuals.com/">INCREDIBLE CASUALS</a> from <a href="http://www.incrediblecasuals.com/discography/Yearbook04.html">LIVE AT DA 'COMA: YEARBOOK '04</a>.

There is an edge to these recordings, like any minute they could totally fuck it all up. <a href="http://www.micktaylor.net/">Mick Taylor</a> was more of a Pagan then he was ever given credit for. <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2087723/">Lester Bangs</a> said, " I have no doubt that it's the best rock concert ever put on record." Right on. <br /><br />After all this I felt inspired to share with others, so headed the Hoopdy up to the <a href="http://www.womr.org/">WOMR</a> studios to sit in with Dave Cole on his show, <a href="http://www.womr.org/djdavecole_.html">THE OLD COUNTRY BLUES BUFFET</a>, and see if he would let me peddle some sonic snake oil to the masses. I got to the station a few minutes before the show was to start and no Dave Cole, no anyone for that matter. An open mic, a few songs about the wonders of being alive at the near end of civilization and I was off and running. As I finished my set, Dave showed up after a long ride stuck in traffic and resumed his show already in progress. Feeling that I had accomplished something of importance, a job well done, I headed off for a swim in a Wellfleet kettle pond and then back to my hammock, drinking cold beer and reading <a href="http://www.powells.com/biblio/1-9780142000687-2">CANNERY ROW</a> again.

They have been friends since High School. Both are aging punk rockers who have been in several loud and naughty bands over the years, like PHILTH SHACK, STUDLORDS, SPEEDBUGGY and OVERNITE SENSATION, but have now gone the way of aging punkers, acoustic. However, age and lack of amplification has not lessened their punk rock sensibilities. They are from Orleans.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/hobovillage">HOBO VILLAGE</a> are some Wellfleet local color consisting of Grateful Ted Lucas on mandolin, vocals and indoor plumbing, Chris Manulla, guitars, vocals and bivalves (deputy Shellfish Constable of Wellfleet) and Jack Ravenshield on guitar, bass and vocals and are a transcendental proto punk psychedelic folk rock trio. They have been picking and strumming across clam flats, dunes and bars in various incarnations and groups through out the outer Cape, including DIRTY PEARL, SUPERSOUL, ATOM OF LOVE and TERRADACTLE.<br /><br /><a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/maryjmartin">Mary J Martin</a> is of course the Outer Cape's high priestess of Uke, a known piker (who owes me $20) and all around bon vivant. MJM started playing Ukulele in Nova Scotia, were she was part of <a href="http://www.chalmersdoane.com/">J. CHALMERS DOANE'S</a> group of young Uke players who toured eastern and central Canada eh, and Vermont, made albums and appeared on national radio and television. Sasha Von BonBon, founder and leader of the Toronto burlesque group, <a href="http://www.thescandelles.com/">SCANDELLES</a> says MJM is their "Uke Diva at large, notorious for blistering LED ZEP solos. She frequently jams with New York's <a href="http://ukulelecabaret.com/">UKULELE-CABARET</a> and Boston's <a href="http://www.ukulelenoir.com/">UKULELE NOIR</a>. She is a STRONG believer in the ukulele's versatility in relation to karmic re-alignment.

The phrase is evocative of the metaphors and euphemisms often used to avoid speaking openly and technically about the subject. According to tradition, the birds and the bees is a metaphorical story sometimes told to children in an attempt to explain the mechanics and consequence of sexual intercourse through reference to easily observed natural events such as plant pollination. Yeah baby. Hopefully, you all learned a little something. Also, feel free to use it again. Put all your little chillen' down in front of the radio and play the set list and they will be all set. Simpatico, you dig? Again, no thanks is needed, it's a community service we aim to provide. <br />Spring has sprung. You feel it? A dip in your hip and that glide in your stride? In spring, the axis of the Earth is increasing its tilt toward the Sun and the length of daylight rapidly increases for the relevant hemisphere. The hemisphere begins to warm significantly causing new plant growth to spring forth. Spring is seen as a time of growth, renewal, of new life (both plant and animal) being born. The term is also used more generally as a metaphor for the start of better times. Yeah baby, so dig yourself and be groovy. Go out and do something nice for someone.<br />Also, we paid some tribute to the late <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-me-lux-interior5-2009feb05,0,5401736.story">LUX INTERIOR</a> of <a href="http://www.thecramps.com/">THE CRAMPS</a>.

It seems pretty self explanatory.<br /><br />Also, we had given up some props to the folks over at <a href="http://ironleg.wordpress.com/">IRON LEG</a> for all the great and always entertaining posts. He wrote an amazing description of <a href="http://surf.to/sonics">THE SONICS</a> that summed up THAT band completely. It goes as follows:<br />If’n you aren’t hep to the Sonics, you mi amigo ought to climb out of your bomb shelter and back into the sunlight, on account of the fact that Gerry Roslie and his gang of thugs tore a hole in the Pacific Northwest during the 60s that shall not soon be mended by either time or anyone’s good intentions. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SduxnIJ4eKI/AAAAAAAAAIs/-sabVW9iJi4/s1600-h/thesonics3.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 139px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SduxnIJ4eKI/AAAAAAAAAIs/-sabVW9iJi4/s400/thesonics3.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322042670430320802" /></a><br />It was as if Satan himself pulled up to a mental hospital, handed out a truckload of geetars, organs and drums, plugged it all in and sat back and laughed as his creation ran amok. The Sonics were – to borrow an unfortunate but entirely apt phrase – the musical equivalent of “retard strength” – in which pure, unbridled animal energy, mixed with an electrified libido and marinated in grain alcohol is reduced to a serum, injected into Little Richard, who then went to the zoo, mated with a hyena in a swimming pool during an electrical storm then took their unholy spawn into a recording studio (during a tornado) and whipped up something very, very heavy. One of the heaviest products of this union is the song ‘Psycho’, which opens with a drummer who sounds like he’s playing with his feet, followed soon by Roslie’s howling and the rumblings of the frat band from hell. Honestly, there were moments when the Sonics made <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screaming_Jay_Hawkins">Screaming Jay Hawkins</a> sound like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Short">Bobby Short</a> (look it up…). It’s powerful stuff and shouldn’t be taken on an empty stomach, lest you burn a hole in your feedbag and end up attached to a series of tubes somewhere. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, because I just did.<br />Brilliant, and to help illustrate that point, I found this here Mondo Video a-go-go:<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Dw6Fjo6VXTg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Dw6Fjo6VXTg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />The SJB aloso recently got HEP to an obscure garage band from days of yore called KIT and THE OUTLAWS.

We at the SJB were reeling and swooning with a love hangover. The Set list is up and grooving, so check it out, follow the links, listen to the now sounds and have a ball, baby: <a href="http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/womr/guide.guidemain?action=viewPlaylist&playlistID=488405&eventID=28309">THE SQUID JIGGER'S BALL 15 February 2009</a>. <br /><br />If your Valentine wasn't happening, perhaps you need some guidance? Sure, it's a community service we aim to provide. And way we go. What is Love? Well now then there, a good question to seriously consider if you botched or had a lame Valentine's Day. According to Wikipedia by way of the the Oxford Illustrated American Dictionary, "Love is any number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction. The word Love is both a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noun">noun</a> and a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verb">verb</a>. Love is not a single feeling but an emotion built from two or more feelings. Anything vital to us creates more than one feeling, and we also have feelings and thoughts about our feelings. This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes Love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states." What kind of Valentine do you give for that? According to Anthropologist, <a href="http://www.helenfisher.com/">Helen Fisher</a>, in her book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Love-Chemistry-Romantic/dp/0805077960">WHY WE LOVE, THE NATURE AND CHEMISTRY OF ROMANTIC LOVE</a>, we have three core overlapping stages for Love, and they are lust, attraction and attachment. OK fine, so there is a start. When we fall in Love, the brain releases chemicals, which include pheromones, dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin, that stimulate the brain's pleasure center. So there you have it the perfect Valentine's day gift, stimulation of the brain's pleasure center. And hopefully that is what last Sunday's SQUID JIGGER'S BALL did for you? <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SZ24HuYK-8I/AAAAAAAAAGk/EqYywicq92Q/s1600-h/sutch-69.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SZ24HuYK-8I/AAAAAAAAAGk/EqYywicq92Q/s400/sutch-69.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304598378960321474" /></a><br />C'mon with some <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screaming_Lord_Sutch">Screaming Lord Sutch</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_and_cher">Sonny and Cher</a> how can you go wrong? <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SZ3EnAA3C0I/AAAAAAAAAG0/f62SIYnsJwY/s1600-h/SConstage-10.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 311px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SZ3EnAA3C0I/AAAAAAAAAG0/f62SIYnsJwY/s400/SConstage-10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304612110409861954" /></a><br /><br />OK, maybe you need a bit of help? A pep in your step, perhaps? <br />The word aphrodisiac comes from the ever naughty Greek goddess of sensuality, Aphrodite. Aphrodisiacs are believed to increase potent sexual desire when ingested or applied to the body, hubba hubba. We can start getting jiggy with ambergris or Spanish Fly or Yohimbine (see our ad in Golf Digest) or epimedium grandiflorum (better known around the Satyricon as horny goat weed). But also included in that category, certain foods have the reputation for enhancing sex and pleasure. Almonds, pine nuts, avocado, onions, eggs, mussels, tomatoes, arugula, truffles, strawberries, garlic (for those of <a href="http://www.deanmartinfancenter.com/">Italian extraction</a>), asparagus, pumpkin, bananas, honey, <a href="http://www.wellfleetshellfishdepartment.org/Wellfleet Oysters.htm">oysters</a> and, of course, chocolate, to name a few. It is purported that chocolate's sweet and fat may stimulate the hypothalamus (and who isn't down with getting their hypothalamus stimulated?), which affects levels of serotonin, so get down with your bad self. For the record, medical science has no substantial proof that any particular food increases sexual desire or performance, but those buzz kills can take a walk and go play with their pocket protectors. Many cultures believe in sympathetic magic, which is based on imitation and the belief that one object can cause an analogous effect on another object. So what the hell does this have to do with chocolate, you ask? Head on over to <a href="http://www.wellfleetcandycompany.com/cart/">Wellfleet Candy Company</a> and Jade Huber, Chocolatier, will lay a little righteousness on you with an assortment of her Chocolate Oysters. So why not give her a holler at 508 246 3370? Exactly.<br />Hopefully you had a groovy evening. Still need help, all that rock 'em sock 'em libido and no where to go?

There was that so difficult? It could be worse. There is a story from Belarus, that says Valentine's Day originated from the story of Saint Valentine. After his mistress rejected him, he was so low down-hearted that he cut open his own chest and sent her his still beating heart as a testament to his undying love. When you care enough to send the very best, I guess? Up yours Hallmark. Well, it's obvious why she dumped him.SQUID JIGGERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05461151674861932696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143867975271270458.post-55146349652756679692009-02-05T12:46:00.011-05:002009-02-05T14:51:55.908-05:00Hail to the ChiefWell now then there, The SQUID JIGGER'S BALL is back on track after a brief hiatus.

Although he was beset on all sides by the squares who now believed that popular music "has reached its lowest depths in the 'grunt and groin' antics of one Elvis Presley. His actions and motions were called "a strip-tease with clothes on" or "sexual self-gratification on stage." They were compared with "masturbation or riding a microphone." Some saw the singer as a sexual pervert, and psychologists feared that teenaged girls and boys could easily be "aroused to sexual indulgence and perversion by certain types of motions and hysteria—the type that was exhibited at the Presley show.ELVIS maintained in a pure true fine homily that there was nothing vulgar about his stage act, saying: "Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do ‘em all together, I guess." Amen, Brother, Amen.<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mTlLH4WbWlU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mTlLH4WbWlU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />Even big squares like Frank Sinatra did some dumping: "His kind of music is deplorable, a rancid smelling aphrodisiac.

"He wants to keep it very private," Richards' spokesman said of his birthday.<br />Named by <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/keithrichards">ROLLING STONE</a> magazine as the 10th best guitarist in the world, the shaggy-haired star has proved remarkably resilient to a lifetime of drugs, explained by his view that his body was a "laboratory".<br />Richards toured the world with the Stones last year, and continues to release music, although his image as a hell-raiser was nuanced by his recent appearance in an advertisement for upmarket luggage maker Louis Vuitton. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SVEuFPiSDYI/AAAAAAAAAEU/eZPDMAUV0Q8/s1600-h/Keith-Richards-Louis-Vuitto.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SVEuFPiSDYI/AAAAAAAAAEU/eZPDMAUV0Q8/s400/Keith-Richards-Louis-Vuitto.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283054505486847362" /></a><br />But the myth surrounding him remains strong, reinforced by tales of him falling out of a coconut tree in Fiji in 2006, reports that he snorted his father's ashes with cocaine and, for younger fans, his reincarnation as Johnny Depp's character Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean films.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SVFRL7mEOuI/AAAAAAAAAFE/BWOskjEWo10/s1600-h/keithrichardspirates1small.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SVFRL7mEOuI/AAAAAAAAAFE/BWOskjEWo10/s400/keithrichardspirates1small.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283093103300066018" /></a><br /><br /><br />Born on December 18, 1943 in Dartford, east of London, the young Richards was initiated into the world of the blues by his mother.<br />In 1960 he caught up with Jagger, an old primary school classmate, and with Brian Jones they formed Rolling Stones, named after the <a href="http://www.muddywaters.com/">Muddy Waters</a> song. Having built up a dedicated following, the band swept to international prominence with the release of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU2cQUgOpGQ">(I can't get no) Satisfaction</a>. Richards, who wrote the track, said the song's signature guitar riff came to him in the middle of the night. With the talent came turmoil. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SVEu6o_Gy_I/AAAAAAAAAEk/q1-euBdXP9c/s1600-h/Stones1960s.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 321px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SVEu6o_Gy_I/AAAAAAAAAEk/q1-euBdXP9c/s400/Stones1960s.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283055422851697650" /></a><br />As the Stones' success grew, so did their reputation as hell-raisers, with riots breaking out at many gigs as well as numerous drugs episodes involving Richards and Jones, who drowned in his swimming pool in 1969.<br />Speaking to Esquire magazine this year, Richards was asked about his intake of cocaine, to which he replied: "After the first maniac year of taking it, my intake of cocaine was, yeah, once after a meal."<br /> In 1967, a now legendary drugs bust at Richards' London home saw both him and Jagger given jail terms, although the guitarist's sentence was quashed on appeal and Jagger's was reduced to a conditional discharge. For Richards, this marked only the beginning of his close relationship with drugs, epitomized by his remark:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SVFOeHFKprI/AAAAAAAAAE8/OK7yymdLpaQ/s1600-h/GQfeature5v.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SVFOeHFKprI/AAAAAAAAAE8/OK7yymdLpaQ/s400/GQfeature5v.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283090117086062258" /></a> "<a href="http://www.esquire.com/features/ask-dr-oz/droz1207?click=main_sr">My body was sort of a laboratory. I wanted to see what I could do with it."</a> His partner in much of this was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Pallenberg">Anita Pallenberg</a>, the ex-girlfriend of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Jones_(musician)">Brian Jones</a> with whom he had three children, although one died as an infant. He had two others with Patti Hansen, whom he married on his 40th birthday in 1983.<br /><br /> In 1977, Richards was arrested for possession of heroin in Canada and in return for clemency, he and Pallenberg entered rehabilitation. Part of the deal was a free Stones concert. But the respite from drugs was brief, with Richards later remarking: "I've never had a problem with drugs. I've had problems with the police." After the Canadian episode, the Stones returned to prominence in 1978 with what many considered their best album so far, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some_Girls">SOME GIRLS</a>.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SVEwTKP3djI/AAAAAAAAAE0/pB4vUJAXzuU/s1600-h/296968_large.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 349px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SVEwTKP3djI/AAAAAAAAAE0/pB4vUJAXzuU/s400/296968_large.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283056943608854066" /></a><br />But in the early 1980s, Jagger moved the group towards a more modern pop sound, which Richards opposed. The future of the Stones seemed rocky when, in 1985, Jagger launched a solo career. Three years later Richards released his own solo album, the well-received <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Talk-Cheap-Keith-Richards/dp/B000000WGL/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1230064965&sr=1-1">TALK IS CHEAP</a>, although this was not his first venture on his own - he had released a version of Chuck Berry's Run Rudolph Run in 1978. But talk of a break-up proved premature, and the Stones returned with a new album, Steel Wheels, in 1989, which kicked off a massive world tour. Through to the mid-2000s they have continued to produce new music and kept playing live. Richards has since released several songs from his back catalogue and it has even been suggested, perhaps mischievously, that he is planning an easy listening album. Asked in <a href="http://men.style.com/gq/features/landing?id=content_6699">an interview with GQ magazine</a> this year about his dances with death, Richards noted: "There were plenty of times I could've given up the ghost. But it just seemed like such a cheap way out." <br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NH5gfO5UFEE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NH5gfO5UFEE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />Happy Happy Birfday, KeefSQUID JIGGERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05461151674861932696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143867975271270458.post-41982054161473510392008-12-17T16:49:00.007-05:002008-12-24T10:00:31.635-05:00THE 5th or 6th ANNUAL CAPE COD CHRISTMAS CAVALCADE FOR THE HOMELESS<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SUl1HMksViI/AAAAAAAAAD0/44MOyIRvpTQ/s1600-h/Chandler+x-mas.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 388px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/SUl1HMksViI/AAAAAAAAAD0/44MOyIRvpTQ/s400/Chandler+x-mas.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280880804563277346" /></a><br />Well now <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/new-england-christmas-pudding-recipe/index.html">Sweet Christmas Pudding</a>, it is that time of year again, <a href="http://www.sonictrout.com/bands/chandler/posters/Xmas2008CapeCod.html">THE 5th or 6th ANNUAL CAPE COD CHRISTMAS CAVALCADE FOR THE HOMELESS</a> is a happening this Sunday, December 21 at the Jailhouse Tavern, 28 West Road in beautiful scenic <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=orleans+ma&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1">Orleans</a>.SQUID JIGGERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05461151674861932696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143867975271270458.post-24187455169293603812008-12-14T10:50:00.008-05:002008-12-18T08:56:33.862-05:00RIP Queen of the Pin-ups<a href="http://www.bettiepage.com/obit/index.html">Bettie Page</a>, the Queen of Pin-ups, passed away on 11 December 2008.

At the season opener, in November, the hosts, <a href="http://www.sonicuke.com/stoop.php">Sonic Uke</a> (a.k.a. Jason Tagg and Ted Gottfried), welcomed back many of the regulars, some twenty-four acts, itching to take the stage after a five-month hiatus. They’ll no doubt be back at the next installment of the Cabaret, on Saturday. There’s D’yan Forest, a seventy-four-year-old stand-up comedian, whose standard is “Thank Heaven for Senior Sex” (after <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/96/Maurice_chevalier001.JPG">Maurice Chevalier</a>) and whose act sometimes includes penis puppets. <a href="http://ukuleledisco.com/clips">Moose Karloff</a>, a performing musicologist, continues his homage to pre-British-invasion American songwriters. Last month, Gio Gaynor did an awe-inspiring heavy-metal uke version of Jimi Hendrix’s electric-guitar version of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” in honor of the election. Of the many women who come out for the cabaret (Dana McCoy, Sweet Soubrette, and this weekend <a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/maryjmartin">Mary J. Martin-Schaefer</a>, a.k.a. the Uke Diva—she has played her ukulele for the Queen of England), one of the most anticipated is always <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9tlA9KUShc">Jamie Scandal</a>, whose act owes a lot to Mae West. (Last month, she got a request from the balcony: “Could you hold your ukulele a little lower, please?”) Also on the bill this weekend is the excellent <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWAMtlVxY6U">Patsy Monteleone</a>, whom all the other players idolize. Last month, it was almost 2 A.M. before Jason and Ted took the stage and invited all the performers up for the finale, their ukulele anthem, “<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emh525bOt4s">Four Strings or Fight</a>.” This time, for variety, maybe they’ll finish with “<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO8wW8ebnIQ">Ukuleles of Love</a>.”SQUID JIGGERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05461151674861932696noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143867975271270458.post-60590495920327762672008-12-03T20:04:00.017-05:002008-12-18T08:57:53.323-05:00The SJB 11.23.08 Playlist<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/STcuZf9FLtI/AAAAAAAAACM/MYU2-ztFFK8/s1600-h/800px-Loligo_vulgaris.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KpPt21a1hj0/STcuZf9FLtI/AAAAAAAAACM/MYU2-ztFFK8/s400/800px-Loligo_vulgaris.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275736504097124050" /></a><br /><br />Well now then there Squid Jigger's, the playlist for The SJB from Sunday November 23, 2008 is now available for your dining and dancing pleasure.
