Back in the mid-aughts, I had a music blog for a year. Finding new (i.e. "fresh") music that I liked turned out to be a lot of work, so I stopped. Every so often I get the itch to write about music. But where? So I created this as a place to write as well as post my old blog entries.

Jarvis Humby - Assume The Position It's...
If you take some sixties garage band sound,
fold in a Hammond organ,
and add a dash of R&B,
you get Britain's
Jarvis Humby.
This album is drenched in the sixties but, somehow,
they make it sound fresh.
I know that doesn't make any sense but there you go.
On their new album,
Assume the Position It's...,
they sound like the house band for an old Peter Sellers movie
with tracks like
We Say Yeah!.
On the other hand,
99 Steps to the Sun
reminds me of early Santana.
Must be the guitar solo over the Hammond.
Fun album and not a bad track on it.
