FROM THE BASEMENT #249“ NEVER FIGHT UPHILL, ME BOYS!”

​It’s anyone’s guess at this point but if we are really at the Self-immolation stage in our society, especially regarding an individual so clearly on the brink of breakdown at the possibility of finally being held to account, perhaps it’s already over and we just don’t know it. I am completely flummoxed, more about who the object of adoration is more than anything else. All I can do is turn the music up and continue to hope for the best. 

Episode #249 is jam packed with new music from Steve Conte, Andrew Bird Trio,  Amy Winehouse, Nick Cave; Warren Ellis, Stanton Moore, Black Country Communion, Will Hoge, James Mastro, Alejandro Escovedo, The Pineapple Thief, Trifecta, Meshell Ndegeocello, Manic Street Preachers, José James, Melody Gardot, Nathaniel Rateliff, T Bone Burnett and The Black Keys. Along with contributions that run the gamut from Duke Ellington and John Coltrane to Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart. We lit 80 candles for Dave Edmunds’ cake and offered a fond farewell to Brother Dickie Betts. Once I figure out how Robert E. Lee had an Irish accent, I let you know. Until then, stay safe, thanks for listening and turn the music up. Love to all.
