alleyone music: News

I really enjoyed your opus. It was a totally eclectic...non-cohesive...jaunt through the musical psyche of Michael and his tremolo unit.

two songs from the baxter brothers, circa 1986, are up. there is a band photo as well.

Last week, I played 'Whirling' on my show. What a great song. I talked about it with one of the other DJs who was hanging out at the station while 'Whirling' was playing. She liked it a lot and called it "atmospheric" and said that she really likes how it "sets a certain mood for a mental journey." I'll just agree with her!

Two weeks ago, I played 'Endless Sleep.' I've already told you how much I like this song. Your voice is very clear on this song. So, the story is conveyed easily. I think that, in the original by Jody Reynolds, a lot of people miss the ending where he grabs his baby from the endless sleep. What a great song.

On Aug. 3, I played '96 Blues Per Minute.' You really settle into a nice groove with this song. I like it a lot. The keyboard adds a bit of a Stax-Volt Booker T. groove, which is definitely a compliment!

Then, on July 27, I played 'Little Red Book.' I love the driving beat on this song. You really add something to it. Perhaps because you don't do
it as primitive as the Love version that I remember. This is a great start to a great album!

This week, I'm going to play 'Party Doll,' mostly because it's my favorite song on the CD! I'll eventually play all of the songs, because
they're all great. It's funny how they are all so diverse, yet they all fit my show's format. I don't know if that says something about the CD
or about my show. Hopefully both!

Michael Lindner has been rockin’ the Bay since the mid-’60s in bands like Mojo, Those Darn Accordions and the surf noir band The Aqua Velvets. His latest offering is “Cocktail Napkin,” a mostly instrumental album of widely divergent styles.
Faux marimba and shimmering surf guitar give “Martin Dennis,” a tribute to Martin Denny’s exotica, just the right touches of Far Eastern mystery. “Tremulux” is a dark, bass-heavy, spaghetti-western-meets-’60s, spy-movie piece of reverb-drenched nostalgia, while “8 Strings” blends thick, atmospheric drum’n’bass textures with wistful bouzouki-like guitar meditations.

my new cd cocktail napkin has arrived on my doorstep in 12 large boxes. anyone want to but a cd?
it is a collection of 12 songs; 4 of my favorite rock and roll vocal tunes from the 60’s and 8 original instrumentals. the cover design i’ve had in mind for many years. it was the beginning of the end for album art when cds came out. the format was reduced to the size of a cocktail napkin.

Hey Micheal, Great to hear from you! I'm so pleased that you like the
amp....they really are alot of fun! My latest Valve JR mod was a combo
that
I did a scratch point to point voxy turretboard for and it turned out
very
nice indeed. I don't have a website set up for this stuff...just some
you
tube posts because guys wanted to hear some quicky clips. Here are
some of
the voxy combo(it's driving 1x12 vintage 30 also).
