Feel Good Friday - Last Chance Edition (The Flypaper Theory)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:51:00 GMT

Since I almost never participate in Feel Good Friday, I thought I ought to pick up the slack while the Pesky One is out of town. Now that he's back, if I don't get something posted soon, he's going to beat me to it. This is a 2001 remix of Robert Johnson's Come on in my Kitchen by the Belgian/Dutch duo Gare du Nord, called Pablo's Blues . It's one of my favorite covers.

How Someday Finally Came (The Weight)

BB King back to his best (Business Times Asiaone)

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:00:00 GMT

MAYBE it's his age (approaching 83 in September) or the fact that he has just opened a museum in Mississippi, but it appears that BB King has become reflective of late, looking back into the song book that inspired him for his latest release and 24th studio album, One Kind Favor.

So it's All About Rorschach in this chapter, with a series of illuminating, disturbing, depressing, graphic, and horrifying sessions with the prison-appointed psychiatrist. They talk about Rorchach's childhood -- little Walter Kovacs, slow-ish bully magnet with a whore for a mother -- and his more-incremental-than-we-thought evolution into Rorschach.
