The Paleface Parabola - 01-05-2024
Well, it’s said to seek and ye shall find. And it’s also said that the Emerald Isle, where my people emerged from, is the land of 1,000 welcomes. You’ll have to settle for 998 less as it pertains to caper 125 of our Parabola. That would be from the Mystery Man and me. You’ll hear the mosaic of our messy quest. News, noise and music. Music such as for the second week in a row because one wasn’t enough, 3 Mustaphas 3 and also Jaerv from the Mystery Man’s wall of sounds. From my pile of pulls, The Specials, Rickie Lee Jones, Wally Pleasant, The Charles River Valley Boys, and Zen for Primates. You’ve never heard of these people you say? Easy fix. Put ears on our noise for the next two hours of your lives and music’s rich blessings will be yours to have, and sample, and hold.
