http://www.fundrace.org/neighbors Lets ya know what all your neighbors have contributed and to which political campaigns. I got some Best Buy exec near me sending love down the line to the ol' incumbent. It kinda makes me feel like not smiling to my neighbors when they walk by anymore. So, anybody hear Linda Rondstadt got booed off the stage for dedicating a version of Desperado to Michael Moore? (sorry, I am just trying to start another fight.. muahahahaha). Is wierd story tho. The worm turns, the wind shifts one-eighty, and the firestorm turns back on the arsonists, who had been operating with impunity for so long that they'd forgotten the feeling of Heat. -From the book Songs of the Doomed by Hunter S. Thompson
So anyways, I been lookin for some new tunes so I start downloading some "B-Prog." I pretty much have heard everything by the big prog bands....genesis, yes, king crimson, etc., and I also listen to bands like gong, soft machine and can. Do any of you guys listen to the more obscure stuff? Some of it seems obscure to me, but from what I read some of these bands were big in their home countries. So far I have liked: Gentle Giant - it kinda rocks out at times, particularly the Power and the Glory stuff... Camel - Mirage: seems like the best overall album so far. slowly getting into it. Caravan - not sure if I like all of it....kinda cheesy. liked some of the tunes on the Gray & Pink album Van Der Graaf Generator - kinda turned off by it all together. Something really gei about it. Amon Duul. Only heard a few old tunes, but pretty cool...pretty rockin so far. I've also heard some Hawkwind which was pretty cool too. I do like early 70's metal like deep purple and thin lizzy. Has anyone heard the Thrid Ear Band? I recall they did the soundtrack for the 1971 version of macBeth, but I cant find their shit online. They sound kinda ambient. If anyone can reccommend some good 70's ambient or electronic music, that would be cool too...my friend played me something by a group called "Mother Mallard" and it was really awesome....I mean sure I was shroomin' my balls off, but...i dont have a point. And just to make this topic Orb-related, I want everyone to know that I would like to open up for the Orb when they come to washington DC (any other time is fine too), so if you have any special magic powers that might make this a reality let me know. I dont think it would be too ridiculous to have a well-mannered gentleman such as myself help the get the night started right. Seriously, this is yer pal Gel-Sol...help a brother out.

Now, I wanna go smack some of my neighbors around. I live a part of LA that went to seed perhaps 20 years ago. It keeps wavering back and forth across the "shitty neighborhood" line...it's mostly apartments, with some older houses, but some schmucks a couple blocks from me gave $4,000 to the incumbent. Why is it that *everyone* who gave to Bush gave $2,000? Hmmm... Some interesting buildings on the LA maps...interesting to see the concentrations of recognizable names who live in a particular place.
