Looney dust cloud spotting after the drop. Falling into ice water with the microphone still plugged in generates shock. This gulch ain’t dry. Where’d that stray cat go? One second it’s a-shimmying and a-shaking on some big rock, and the next second it’s over down a-ways making wet stray sounds. It doesn’t give us much of a chance. The mindless breeze sort of tosses the stray fur around. The stray fur sort of gets lumped into little furballs every once in awhile, but not for long. If anyone actually saw you in the thick of that dust cloud splashing in the gulch chasing furballs they’d probably think you were crazy, I reckon. Especially if they knew how much lotion you had put on ahead of time.

THE STRANGE PLACES
“Happy Camp” C49
(Hem & Lock Tapes)
A
lot like the “Paisley Estrange” tape I also reviewed on this label- same one
dude playing every goddamn instrument (and doing it with aplomb!)- but a li’l
more psyechedelic. Every tapedeck-havin’ pickup truck in the dust bowl oughta
be blasting this puppy on Friday night! Give them tumbleweeds somethin’ to
swagger to! They really need to clone this guy 5 times…or 500 times…so he/they
can be the weekend/holiday bar band.

PAISLEY ESTRANGE
“Ghost Town Lounge” C40
(Hem & Lock Tapes)
This
tape should have been titled “Bar Fight of One”. The Information Superhighway
says that pretty much just one “Kristo” played all the honky-tonkin’
instruments on this album. Recording them at home. In just one month. Hot damn!
Expertly played whiskey-drenched guitar solos, classic ivory-ticklin’,
tongue-in-cheek sentiments and clever lyrics. If you’re still pissed about
Silver Jews breaking up or Michael Hurley not making it to your town, this
might cheer ya up.
