Friend of the Show: Elephant (A Reunion) + an early Halloween mix



Elephant was the big thing in Albuquerque back when Choke was getting together. Elephant was still the big thing in Albuquerque years later when The Jonny Cats and Waltz Bop Shop were getting together. 'Bout that time I was in Grad school with rock goddess Christina. Now she's an awesome photographer and still writes great songs (I'll post some soon). Elephant reformed for a benefit show last week. Wish I could've been there. Here's the last two songs (more here, and here, and here, and here, and here).



And in Halloween news: the aboombong track Forsaken from asynchronic is the opener on this halloween mix...check it out.

Hey icasto!!! I think you will like this a lot, Kees Meurs (aka Cees Ijzermans) drumming, middle 80's I've seen these guys a lot live back then, he had a drumkit made up of ship-parts, they were from my hometwon Rotterdam and were somehow quiet popular in Italy, they would perform all over Europe bringing magic mushroom wine everywhere they went, crazy stuff...

Sounds right up my alley. I used to haul around a lot of heavy metal junk with my drum set back in the day.

Older I got, the smaller that collection became.
