Savasana

My yoga teacher Firat and I recorded this meditation after yoga class. I like the sound of it. Lay on the ground, close your eyes and follow along. Namaste.

Honolulu March

For some time now I’ve been involved with a sea of dedicated volunteers at a magical little community radio station on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai. It’sKKCR - delicious Hawaiian in the mornings, Electic and Political as heck as the week goes by. Then Friday is a stream of madness starting at 3 pm PT. It’s a great way to spend a Friday evening. My recommendation - get hooked on the island vibe and become a member. Mahalo Nui Loa

The Halloween edition of The Ronkatdelic Show! commences with a new un-named cut with lots of uh huh’s in it.

Tim-Tom returns and we find him at the Mystery House instead of his scheduled exclusive interview with Bootsy Collins. After a false start Tim-Tom gets more spooked than he planned on when his travels turn up a ghostly group of candidates for rehab rather than the spirits he was expecting.

The show concludes with Tears of a Ghost a from the Little Monsters CD, featuring George Clinton and Gary Scheider.

The show is produced by RKS and GH at Katland Studio, San Francisco.

2 Future Hits Now!

The Power of Podcasting! Marc who manages bands and a label is creating a niche in a niche by getting a waive of the copyrights to some songs on the smaller labels. He exposed me to two great examples.

Mocean (pronounced Motion) Worker is a jazzy cat tutored from a fine lineage of some of jazz & r&b’s best producers. It shows. His infectious hit “Chick a Boom Boom Boom” on his new album “Enter the MOWO” will get you up from your seat. This is out on his own label (In the show I note that it’s out on the Palm label - that was his previous album.) You can find out more about him on his website and be sure to catch the yuck-a-minute video for “Chick a Boom Boom Boom".

Then we have a new band right off of Melrose Avenue circa 1980 - Manda and the Marbles. They could have opened for the GoGo’s. This hit is “Ode to Rock” from their album “Angels with Dirty Faces” Ha! It’s a blast. Their album launches February 22 and you can find out all about them on their website.

Many thanks Marc. He promises more to come.

He’s been exposing me to new music since I was a pesky teen, but in this interview he rises to the challenge of songs from his past that inspired him in his art and love for music.

Steve and I once got chased out of a bar in LA in the early 80’s called the Double Zero club, lots of post punk types, but not before we loaded up our pockets with the cheap beer from the broken down refrigerators in the club.

Be My Guest 2004-11-13 Pearl Harbour Part I

To launch this podcast I reach into the vaults of the Be My Guest archives. You’ll hear the first segment of an interview with Pearl Harbour, a breath of raw rock and roll fresh air. From her early days with the arty and highly theatrical Tubes, to Ian Drury and the Blockheads, Elvis Costello and the Clash - Pearl continues to rock Hollywood with whack Japanese tours and stand up schtick with Selena (4′ tall and a beehive). We’ll def get Pearl on for more fun.

Songs you’ll hear on this podcast:

Fist City - Loretta Lynn
Don’t Touch Me There - The Tubes
Trouble - Pearl Harbour and the Explosions
Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll - Ian Drury and the Blockheads
