Liked on YouTube: Space Invaders Resin Light Board

Today I’m gonna’ build a clear resin LED light board based off of the old arcade game Space Invaders. We’ll cut and shape some jeweler’s wax, do some mold-making, tint, pour, and pressurize some resin, do a little woodworking, and have a lot of fun. My Daddy will also tell you the story of how he scored the most points on Space Invaders ever… only to have been cheated out of being in the Guinness Book of World Records.

First spotted this chair 7 years ago today, at the savage mill antique shop while we were attending the yarn party. They wanted three grand for it, hand carved.

It turned up in 2017 in an auction article with far getter photography and backstory.

Social isolation day #739

Bog safari report –

Saw little miss Katniss on the neighbor’s window, and cooed to her for a few moments, but she had no interest in me, but preferred to watch the squirrels and birds outside. I think that look was “hit the road, beardy… your are interrupting my food tv”

So, I toddled onward, happy to see some bumblebees and springtime daffodils had already started to go about being the local scenery. Aside from Katniss cat, I spotted a number of fuzzy bumblebees, a few squirrels, a male cardinal , a few song sparrows and something large high up, likely a turkey vulture. No sign of the bald eagle or any water critters.

Most noticed was a great number of heavy fallen branches and sideways trees… those winds last nigh must’ve been stronger than I thought. I was surprised that I couldn’t hear any peeper-frogs, but maybe later this evening. Plenty of chirpy birds and the occasional woodpecker percussion kept things from being very quiet.

Sisto, Harold and I noticed that the redbuds are sprouting, as are the cherry and pear trees. It’s a pity those decorative trees don’t have fruit, or maybe it is a good thing. Can’t have a bunch of sloppy drunk deer and birds wobbling all over the place.

Liked on YouTube: Roky Erickson – Bermuda, original 45

This record, released in 1977, comes from the period of time just after Roky’s release from the Texas mental institution. The demons he suffered from as a result of the inhumane treatment there were expressed in a series of recordings that were done at several studios, notably The Church studio in Marin County, California, by producer Bill Steele.

I had the good fortune to be in that studio for a short time when Roky was in session, brought there by a friend who worked there and knew of my interest in his music. My friend also gave me this record as well as the Sponge EP, which contains four tracks familiar to all Roky Erickson fans, which I will post in good time.

See my other posting for the other side of this record (“The Interpreter”).

Liked on YouTube: 13th Floor Elevators – “Slide Machine”, original mono LP

This is the original 1967 mono mix, created by the artists and their producer. This particular copy is a promo copy, of which it has been said, no more than about 30 were made. I picked this one up for one dollar in 1970 at a used record store on 8th Street in New York City.

For the benefit of those who care about such things, I am reproducing the lyrics from the sheet enclosed with the record below.

From the enclosed lyric sheet:

Slide Machine
(Powell St.John alias John St. Powell)

Well I’ve been down south
Where they use the slide machine
Where the gods of gold are heard
But seldom seen
And here I’ve been
Just stuck up in between
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you

Well the slide machine it sweeps stones
Right off the road
For the tandem trucks
And the loads that they towed
And me I just been lookin
For one goin’ slow
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you

My woman here she’s got a dozen names
She’s sought by soldiers
And they try to keep her tame
But her rewards will leave them just the same
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you

Well I’ve been down south
Where they use the slide machine
Where the Gods of gold are heard
But seldom seen
And here I’ve been
Just stuck up in between
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you
(Vocal: Roky)

The vinyl sound track was restored using Cool Edit Pro 2.0 and Adobe Audition 3.0.
