hi there - long time no talk.
who? that's right...jack nitzsche. what made me think of him was this weekend i was at the goodwill near my house and i found or i thought i found one of the few christmas records i'd ever want to own, the phil spector christmas record. well, what i thought was a super rare record turned out to be the wrong record in the most pristine of sleeves. well, enough about that squirrel disappointment and onto the man, jack. he was spector's right hand man and he also played with those guys the rolling stones, fucked around with captain beefheart and just seemed to be all over the place in the sixties and seventies. hell, he is still around and just last year, that bastard quentin tarantino used one of his songs "the last race" in his "deathproof" movie. god, i LOVE that song but how i first came to know it was from the AIP movie, "village of the giants". i can still recall watching this insane movie on channel five in southern california as a kid and thanks to you tube, you can see one of the most absurd scenes with the nitzsche song! here you go and all i can say is WAIL, WAIL!!!
Living up to the hype
