Worst to Best Episodes of Fishing With John

Image
 Recently, I've been working my way through John Lurie's Fishing With John . The best way to describe it is that it's kind of lamely cool. You get to experience these fascinating personalities at the most real you'll get them. Have you ever wondered if Tom Waits is a seasoned fisherman? Well, you won't after watching this. The show's pretty good and can be found online (In fairly poor quality) on YouTube if you're interested in watching it. I've been watching them non-consecutively. Every now and then, when I have an hour or so free and don't want to watch something too meaty, no Pasolini for me in those shallow hours.  As I've been watching it in this way I've been reflecting on the episodes and what ones I think are the best. They all have their own benefits and of course your interest in the personalities with impact your interest in an episode.  It helps if you are familiar with The Lounge Lizards , John Lurie's music group, and are ...

The 1960s Lost Psychedelic Band: Gandalf

Image
Gandalf is the sort of record the 60s loving hipster you know references to try to seem knowledgable about psychedelic music, it's a pretty obscure record. However since it's release in the late 1960s it has built a large cult following and the band Gandalf is now considered one of the best little known secrets of the psychedelic era.  Gandalf were together for four years from 1965 until 1968 and despite their cult status not much is popularly known of the band. One person hoping to rectify that is Peter Sando, the guitarist for Gandalf. Perhaps the most overt Psychedelic album artwork in existence “ I met Bob Muller in detention hall in the 7th grade. He had a band [the Thunderbirds] and they were in the process of dumping their guitarist, Michel Nouri, later to become a successful actor. I joined the Thunderbirds, later to become the Rahgoos.” Peter Sando recalled of the band's origin. Sando's earliest musical influences are common for many his ...
