Thru the "Sawtuha" project and Blitz The Ambassador playing quite some shows in Morocco I've had the pleasure to travel North Africa quite frequently lately and whenever possible I did some record shopping. This is a selection of some of the finds, music from the 60s and 70s from Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. Some known some not yet. 

This is also a kick off to a new loose series of mixes by us, people we work with or people we are just friends with. Enjoy.

Heart, heart in your mouth, hand on the paper
The new work that you found
The gift of your depression weighs you down, down, down, down
Then, when you wake for the sixth straight day with a Tanqueray
You will rise, rise again, and drink again
Hurtle hurtle over the breach
Let your body fall out of reach

On the day that you find your thirties have left you childless
Remember when you meet your coupled friends with unease:
The world will forget all the good they have done
And the world will forget all the good you have done
Hurtle hurtle over the breach
Let your body fall out of reach

Out of house, out of thought, out of your mind
Lay your head, lay your heart next to mine
And try to admit that you might have it wrong
And when you admit that you might have it wrong
Thunderhead, thunderhead
I will be your riverbed

Mix of the Week #57: Chee Shimizu - Zwakala

Summer Camp 2011. Three Sisters Park Chillicothe, Illinois Memorial Day weekend.  This was the 11th year, I think.  I've only missed a few.  This festival is the brainchild of the band MOE. after we were all there in 1999 for the summer sessions tour with Galactic, MOE., Govt Mule, The String Cheese Incident with Kevin Kenny, Radio Active, Gibb, Droll, and myself doing the tweeners. A handful of years ago, MOE. brought in Umphrey’s McGee as a partner in the festival along with Jam and Ian/Jay Goldberg Events who's been there from the start or at least close to the start. Each band has its own stage and does multiple sets over the weekend. There's also an electronica stage that brings serious energy. In the middle of it all is a big chunk of woods where all the early freeks camp.  It’s truly a trip to walk the path in the woods at night.  I try and make a point of it every year if I have time.  This year I was lucky to be able to bring K-Dubalicious which is my reggae/dub/funk trio featuring Jay Starling on keys, Mark D on drums, and myself on the bass. It’s an open airy type of music that flourishes in simplicity. We were on the MOE. stage so I took advantage of the fact that the band had their gear on stage and invited the MOE. guitarists to sit in. They accepted. The first one is 3 songs in one.  The unreleased (other than a trippy YouTube video I posted a while back) “Thinking Out Loud”. At the end of the song, when I start actually thinking out loud, I slide into “More Than a Little,” which slides into “Feel Like A Stranger” featuring Al Schnier.

The Growlers - Living in a Memory

I know a couple of things about Colleen Green.

One thing that's for sure: she's a songwriting phenomenon. She sings lovely, catchy, fuzzy songs that range from 80s pop goulash to psychedelic drone; from 90s power punk to homemade Sebadoh-style songs of heartache. Think of her as a sort of female Daniel Johnston, with her at home making comics, armed with a seemingly unlimited amount of well-composed songs, her lamentations on out-of-reach love, her self-medication, her bedroom recordings. She proudly displays her musical heroes' influences on her sleeve. She plays live shows alone on stage with only an electric guitar and a drum machine to accompany her.

Is she a genius? Who knows.

So let’s get down to the bare bone facts. These are the things I know about Colleen Green to be true: Colleen Green sprouted up some years ago in Massachusetts, deep within the forests of the Merrimack Valley. She was raised by a loving family that brought her up on a steady diet of delicious oldies and sugary cereals. Colleen Green went to school, learned how to speak the language of the streets, and by second grade was rapping on school grounds. By the age of 11 she had discovered punk rock and never looked back. From that point on she was obsessed with music.

Green moved to Oakland, California in 2008 in search of hot sun, good bud, good buds, and nice boys. Fortunately, five of her best friends decided to join her, the best of which being Kayla. Along with their friend Steve O, Green and Kayla created the Full House House in West Oakland and invited countless great bands from across the nation and world to play in their living room. Kayla can be seen on the front cover of the “Green One” 7”, and is also one of two main characters in Green’s comic strip, "Real Shit Daily".

Recently, Green retreated to a cave in Los Angeles, where she can now be found sleeping, smoking, baking magical treats, and staring at the wall.  Within two lonely months, Colleen had written and recorded Milo Goes to Compton; within five she had released both that tape and the 4 Loko 2 Kayla CD-R EP as well. Both of these albums have been in heavy rotation since the day they arrived in my mailbox.

Anyway, that is just the beginning of the Colleen Green story.  If you can, get to know her.  And text her.  You will love her
