It has been awhile since I have been to the Daytrotter site and then I find myself listening to their sessions incessantly now … It started with the Male Bonding session and led to the Vivian Girls, the Local Natives and then the Dodos. This will make a fine soundtrack to my next road trip, especially those Barnstormer sessions!

Starting today, I will be reading a book a day until September. It may be a children’s book, or a graphic novel, or a collection of poetry, or perhaps even a wordless book of images like this one by Jim Woodring called Trosper. Jim Woodring is an incredible creator of disturbing surreal comics and art. Trosper is a short surreal masterpiece. It’s the story of a small elephant and his ball.

YES, it’s true, I have finally decided to unload some of my belongings and sell them on eBay ~ Like most people in America, I have too much STUFF, and I would like to redistribute these objects to others as well as raise some much needed money for my latest pipe dream – ROAD TRIP USA! Please visit MY STORE on eBay and help support my fund raising effort to save some money for an All American Road Trip to see some National Parks, camp under the stars, visit Seattle and travel this great nation in a Prius! My ultimate goal was to drive out to Michigan for a family reunion in August, but I’m already realizing how crazy that sounds.
And so we end our week of 60s classics with one of the most powerful songs of all time …
I love the way this song builds up and plateaus ~ “Beatniks out to make it rich!”
