HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the great singer-songwriter, guitarist, and sonic craftsman Lindsey Buckingham. Best known for co-fronting Fleetwood Mac, he also has an amazing catalog of solo material. He can be earthy and trippy in one pass, but he makes it work with his unique production motif and style rooted in classic California pop. Here’s a cover of “Go Your Own Way” I did with peter chauncey + Daniel Berkman, who took the song into a “blue light in the basement” vibe. Meanwhile, God bless LB and his family, and thank you for the joy you’ve given to us with your music.

peter chauncey’s VIDEO OF THE WEEK! “Numbers for Days” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sozmt1q3kn8 With a video riffing heavily on Dr. Who and “The Matrix,” peter writes, “There are so many ways to look at or analyze any given song. My song ‘Numbers for Days’ could be considered through all sorts of lenses or filters, through combinations of political, religious, environmental, cultural, or social experiences that are bound to change each of us over time.” On a cosmic jukebox this would play between Talking Heads and David Bowie’s electronica.

electronic drums/special effects - Daniel Berkman

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Lucille Ball, The Beatles 1965 HELP! Album (UK), Regina Carter, Chubby Checker’s 1960 launch of “The Twist,” Randy DeBarge, Hoot Gibson, Norman Granz, Charlie Haden (glad to have met you), Allan Holdsworth, Geri Horner/Ginger Spice, the nation of Jamaica (declared independence in 1962), Yuki Kajiura, John Kongos, Abbey Lincoln, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Pat MacDonald (Timbuk 3), Robert Mitchum, Leslie Odom, Jr., keyboardist Ton Scherpenzeel, M. Night Shyamalan, Elliott Smith, Grizzly Smith, Lord Alfred Tennyson, the 1947 premier of "Bachianas Brasilieras No 8" by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Vinnie Vincent, Andy Warhol, Michelle Yeoh, and my friend and multi-faceted musical colleague Daniel Berkman: Electronic musician, composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, looper and innovator of the Kora (a 21-stringed harp-lute from West Africa). He’s not just all that, he’s a master of all that—a gift to the San Francisco Bay Area music scene and a national treasure. Playing anything else with a string or a drumhead, he also takes on exotic instruments from around the world (and maybe some not of this world?). Daniel and I have recorded together, and he’s a cinch to work with. Check out his music here https://danielberkman.bandcamp.com Also check out our collaboration on peter chauncey’s “Numbers For Days” w/Daniel in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sozmt1q3kn8 Meanwhile, HB DB and thank you for your awesome and adventurous creativity.

peter chauncey’s SONG OF THE WEEK: “Panic in Detroit (Remix)”https://peterchauncey1.bandcamp.com/track/panic-in-detroit-alternate-mix

 —A cover David Bowie’s song from the iconic album ALADDIN SANE, the bridge between the intimate sci-fi rock’n’roll of ZIGGY STARDUST and the dystopian rock’n’soul of DIAMOND DOGS. ALADDIN contained several Bowie signature works—including “Panic in Detroit,” a song about revolution and Detroit’s civil unrest in July of 1967. peter’s cover fuses Bowie’s original urban hard rock subtext with a pulsating pop-electronica backdrop, paying tribute to Bowie’s OUTSIDE/drum’n’bass era. To listen to peter’s take, please visit the link below--and thanks for tuning in!

Personnel:

peter: arranging, drum program, keyboards, & all vocals

Daniel Berkman: electronic percussion & effects

Johnny J. Blair: bass, guitar, keyboards, & production

Will Mandell: engineering & remixing
