The warm-not-hot low autumn sun, the crisp breeze, cloud formations like God's parade floats & Rorschach tests, the wistful, cozy feeling of a season ending and another beginning, the sound of it getting dark earlier - I hope you can hear it as clearly as I felt it that afternoon of November 2, 2014.

Part 4 of a long winter's nappy-haired set recorded live at Wurstkuche Venice, complete with a customer appreciation caricature drawn on the place mat (thanks Evan with the Bun E. Carlos 'tache.) We start with Rocco Raimundo's blissed-out bass drawl of a house remix of "Walk on the Wild Side" into Kastle's take on Elle Goulding's "My Blood," into that insane Dent May disco version of the Dead's "Shakedown Street." That's followed by Jolie Tan's flowers-in-the-attic-y cover of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy." Daniel Avery - dude who, like, does two insanely great remixes of obscure Primal Scream tracks just for the 3am helluvit, is next with "The Eagle," (that bassline, tho) followed by LDR's "West Coast," ("if you're not drinkin', then you're not playin'") in its Grades Icon mix, into Ursula1000's fun-ass Eagles jam, "One of These Nights." We get to the after dinner drinks with the sweetly sad yes somehow (sigh) anthemic Filous mix of James Hersey's "Coming Over," and end on Devendra Banhart's "I Feel Just Like A Child." Feel, indeed. Enjoy, please. And thank you. Inquiries/etc.: hechlin8@gmail.com. Thanks Wurstkuche, thanks #Exxxplosivo. And thanks for the drawing Evan.

sausagefreshtpt4 live at Wurstkuche Venice

HIGH atop Venice's Hotel Erwin, serenading the most spectacular sunset, with what can only be described as white gold cloud braids spiraling perfectly into the cooling horizon. Sigh. "Going Down," indeed. 

Sunset Funset: I feel a lotta room in this love tonight

the last night of the season at Hotel Erwin's High Bar in Venice - also Halloween. Costumes like Tadia's Purple Rain-era Prince inspired the last half-hour's retro-thumpin' set of high school mixtape classics with a thick, bumpy undercarriage, which made for 30 or so minutes of moody mellow and the first cool crisp winter bite of melancholia as we'd be saying goodbye til next summer. Grab a blanket and something (preferably someone) warm and enjoy. Thanks for listening.
