Taking Care

Before I take care (o b) I have a couple things to mention.

First, need to apologize to anyone whose re-upload request I have shirked or anyone to whose comments I have been vague in replying. 

 

About ten days ago some nefarious cold/flu mutation invaded Casa Nada del Este. First Black Dahlia fell under its grip, then Lao Elanya. Being the stubborn bull-headed Taurus that I am. I refused to give in & so for about five days I walked the quavering tightrope between sick & well. Finally I took a KO punch to the head & tumbled hard. I am just now coming out of the fog. 

 

It is such a weird sickness that we all took COVID tests just to see, but they all registered negative (the only good thing about this whole disease). It's been like the worst imaginable cold with heavy doses of influenza weirdness, chills & aches (but no fever).

So just wanted to say sorry for any vaguery. Should be back to form soon.

Second, for anyone interested in the machinations of the whole Interweb/Blogger bullshit that I have to endure, you might want to go back to Sound Systember. You might notice that Sound Systember 24 is no longer to be found. It suffered the rage of a Blogger take-down...a simple share of Roots Garden Sound System/Manasseh that was deemed by Blogger Cummunity Guidelines to be SPAM.

WTF! 

 

The Spam section of the guidlines seems plenty succinct:
     SPAM - Do not spam. This may include unwanted promotional or commercial content, unwanted content that is created by an automated program, unwanted repetitive content, nonsensical content, or anything that appears to be a mass solicitation.

Well it was none of those (no more nonsensical than usual), but nothing I can do but comply. I added an addendum on Sound Systember 25 to replace some of the missing material & explain what's up. But enough...

On with the show... 

 

Prompted by the previous Burial conversation, I shared several releases from Leyland James Kirby using the moniker The Caretaker. Got a lot of favorable response, so here are some more. The first two are from the Stranger, another nom de musique of Kirby's.
