I always liked this song and cameo. So long Burt Bacharach.

Yes, woe ye all the passing of Tom Verlaine. One of my favorite shows from back in the day when I went to them...very thankful to have that memory.

And today, Burt Bacharach! I have been listening to the album he did with Elvis Costello, even got my young dentist into it. (He really liked it.) Truly, a room of This House Is Empty Now...

During my media silence, we lost the great Wayne Shorter. I was fortunate to have seen him with Weather Report twice.

Rejected by SNL, busted by the bluenose police, Paul still stayed true to his inner Pee-wee. I confess to regularly watching his Sat morning show, which seemed especially bizarre when you'd been up all night. RIP

A sad farewell to artist David Le Batard, a Miami-based artist known as LeBo, who died earlier this week. I have been a long time listener of the show hosted by his brother Dan, a former sports journalist. LeBo did the artwork for the studio where the show was recorded, and made a number of funny appearances on the show over the years because he knew nothing about sports and was challenged to give answers to quizzes about basic sports trivia, with predictably disastrous results. Rest in power, as the members of the Le Batard Show are wont to say.

bestclassicbands.com/david-laflamme-obituary-8-8-23/David Iaflamme from It's A Beautiful Day I can't say I am a Big fan just knowing a few songs but I sure liked what I heard and we discussed this on the daily paych thread here. They've been on my list of artists I need to do a deeper dive too. Sad to hear.

I confess to regularly watching his Sat morning show, which seemed especially bizarre when you'd been up all night. RIP This one's not going to be easy for me for a long while. Besides just loving the show is a kid I love the aesthetic of a set design. I can't help with semi seriously wish I could have a playhouse room. Of course in my ideal setting they would also be a Tim Burton Beetlejuice room some of it that German expression isn't crazy angle stuff like the fireplace at the wedding scene and some of it the crazy I think it's called Memphis style furniture in the renovated house. I definitely want a Pee-Wee's Playhouse Charity, magic screen, Clocky, and Jambi and that funky red padded door. John Paragon passed not long ago too. Pee-Wee had a cool blog of silly things found (think Archie McPhee catalog). I know he mentioned John's passing as they were quite close. Not sure if this would interest anyone but I know there's at least one fellow Spud on the board. Mark Mothersbaugh did a number of songs for the show that were rejected but released sort of informally as Pee-weeJects something like that name. Pretty good stuff.

They've been on my list of artists I need to do a deeper dive too. Sad to hear. I saw It's A Beautiful Day as one of the bill on my first concert in 1968 at Winterland. For White Bird the light show had this wonderful animation of a bird, amidst the sloshing oil color projections and slides. I did see later versions of the band, the best in 1976 at the Tribal Stomp, an outdoor concert produced the The Family Dog's Chet Helms. David was unfortunately an egotistical jerk in attitude, which always contrasted with the requisite "groovy" affectations. Still a great band and classic album. Their second has some good tracks too.

A Bay Area legend, Skoop Nisker has died. A staple of KSAN, he reported on the news from a kind of surrealist Buddhist angle. His slogan "If you don't like the news, go out and make some of your own."

That's a good slogan.
