“Love Me From A Distance” with Jane Wiedlin’s Elettrodomestico

Love Me From A Distance” a live version of a song from the Elettrodomestico album If You’re a Boy or a Girl.

Shortly before the Hemlock Tavern shut down for good in San Francisco, I was privileged enough to attend an evening’s show where Jane Wiedlin (formerly of the Go-Go’s) was giving her latest musical project a chance to test it’s club rock legs. Featuring her latest songwriting collaborator, Pietro Straccia on guitar, plus some local pedigreed rockers like Dawn Richardson of 4 Non-Blondes on percussion and and longtime Tom Waits’ guitarist Joe Gore playing bass, they put a great intimate show in a tiny sweaty club that has since been torn down.

Jane Wiedlin is still an energetic vital musical force and her talented backing band Elettrodomestico is living proof she’s still got it going on decades after the music industry certified her platinum!

Enorchestra – Golden Hours (Live Eno Tribute)

Caroleen Beatty & Doug Hilsinger’s Enorchestra – Golden Hours (live @MakeOutRoomSF) from LilMikeSF on Vimeo.

This song from Brian Eno’s Another Green World album was reinterpreted musically live at The Make-Out Room in San Francisco 4 /6 / 2019, Doug Hilsinger & Caroleen Beatty are backed by Bruce Ducheneaux on drums, Dusty Jermier on bass, Steve Perrone & Sunny Haire on additional guitars.

Doug, Caroleen, Sunny, Steve, Bruce and Dustin dusted off their unique guitar centric take on the 70’s era Brian Eno classics live at The Make-Out Room for a sold out Enorchestra + Mayya & the Revolutionary Hell Yeah! concert held Saturday April 6th 2019. This is but one of their many Enorchestra takes Brian Eno’s rock classics.

in 2004, Doug Hilsinger and Caroleen Beatty lovingly made a homemade cover version of Brian Eno’s second solo album, “Taking Tiger Mountain (by strategy)”, a wonderful record originally released in 1974 on the EG label. Brian Eno happened to hear the new versions of his old songs and was joyous, proclaiming “I like it very, VERY much!”.

And so it was released on cd by DBK Works label, with Brian Eno writing the liner notes. Two years later DBK went out of business and the cd is now out of print. if you want a CD with all the artwork, get in touch with Doug Hilsinger thru saucefaucet.com

Cyrano de Bergerac is a character in a play written in 1897 by Edmond Rostand, here he is as Cyrano de Berger is a lovelorn stalker, a feral figment of writer John Doe’s fertile imagination, as sung by Flesh Eaters frontman and punk poet Chris D live at a reunion show in San Francisco.

I got a couple of words to say
For all strong and silent types
Who don’t talk to the girls they wanna love
Though it means their lives, I say this, “It’s time to get stark”
Yet the words don’t come
Your eyes are blue as the coals that burn
In your black desire I’ll talk for you
Under the balcony in blue
I’ll talk for you, I’ll talk for you
For Cyrano de Bergers’ Back

I’ll have sympathetic years
To hear what your Roxanne will say
Though I love her 20 times more
I never say I should be the erosion
Of color on your cheek
Instead I make your man a girl
In between your sheets

I’ll talk for you
Ten hearts are beating true
This ain’t a lie, this ain’t behind
Cyrano de Berger’s Back

I got a couple of words to say
For all you strong and silent types
Who don’t talk to the girls they wanna love
Though it means their life

I should be the erosion
Of color on your cheek
Instead I’ll make your man a girl
In between your sheets

I’ve got ten arms for you
Ten hearts are beating true
This ain’t a lie

Jerry Rubin Did It! with author Pat Thomas

Author Pat Thomas discusses his book “DID IT! JERRY RUBIN – AN AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY” in two separate videos

My longtime friend and underground culture historian Pat Thomas is seen in these video clips telling interesting anecdotes as he promotes his latest project, an expansive coffee table book for Fantagraphics Books about Yippie activist Jerry Rubin. Entitled ” DID IT! FROM YIPPIE TO YUPPIE: JERRY RUBIN, AN AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY “, over 5 years Thomas combed through Rubin’s own archives and interviewed many of Jerry’s co-conspirators and even some of his enemies as he attempted to paint the fullest available portrait of an oft forgotten and misunderstood rebel icon.

Pat’s book explores Rubin’s early years as a working class Jewish kid in Ohio, through his wild adventures meeting Che Guevara and Abbie Hoffman as he morphs into a long haired 1960’s protest radical who ends up high on Nixon’s enemies list. As the decade fades, Rubin transforms in the 70’s from a man openly fomenting an antiwar revolution to pursuing capitalism on Wall Street and uses Studio 54 as a platform while trademarking the term “Social Networking” long before Mark Zuckerberg is born. All in all, I bet these videos will reveal something you likely did not know.

These two videos shot were shot by me in San Francisco and Berkeley CA, at speaking enagement to promote the Fantagraphics biography ” DID IT! FROM YIPPIE TO YUPPIE: JERRY RUBIN, AN AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY by Pat Thomas. The locations were at both Green Apple Books near Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and Pegasus Books in Berkeley (the one at Pegasus Books is shot in with a 360° Camera and features guest Yippies).

While a graduate student briefly at UC Berkeley as the Free Speech movement took off in 1964, by 1965 Rubin dropped out and was enrolled on a path of revolutionary political struggle that would take him to Manhattan where co-conspirator Abbie Hoffman would enter his life in early 1967. They levitated the Pentagon together, formed the Yippies, and made headlines across the world as members of the Chicago 8, earning the ire of Nixon and the FBI, as well as many in the media, and even on the left. While admiration came initially from the counter culture press, and folks like John & Yoko, Rubin’s abrasive approach and methods often alienated people he’d perhaps prefer as allies. With the 70’s came sweeping cultural shifts, and Rubin eventually broke from his agitprop antics as the movement’s momentum waned, and when forced to confront himself and the times’ turning tides, he largely withdrew from public life and became a businessman and part of the ‘me generation’. A complex character, Rubin’s approach to life is illuminated in the book via the author’s access to his personal archives granted graciously by his ex-wife Mimi. Pat Thomas, a longtime fan of 60’s radical political figures from afar, zeroed in on Rubin’s friends and foes as he strove to create the most definitive look at this off misunderstood figure of the 60’s Revolutionary era. In this video Pat shares excerpts of Rubin making fun of his past on Saturday Night Live, excerpts of his infamous mid 1980’s Regan era Yippie vs Yuppie debates with Abbie Hoffman. Near the end of the clip, several former compatriots of Rubin’s step up for Q & A and speak to their experience s with him, both good and bad, political and often extremely personal. Guest speakers include old Rubin compatriots like Judy Gumbo, Lawrence Schechtman, and Kate Coleman. This excerpt video of a longer talk is shot with a 360 degree camera so will move viewpoint at viewer discretion.
