Friday Night Beefheart: ‘Ice Cream for Crow’
Video • Views: 2,308
Whoa, Nellie. I never knew that Captain Beefheart had actually made a video for this supremely weird 1982 song from the album Ice Cream for Crow.

Are you sure it's not "I scream", and not 'Ice Cream'?
At first I thought I was going to be treated to some bad ass zydeco. Kind of devolved from there.

What makes them decide to watch the said video.?

I thought I recognized some of the guys in his band but I googled them and it's a pretty obscure bunch. Talented but obscure. I guess those early 80's guys all look the same.

In case anyone has seen Rusty Shackleford's latest at Jawa Report, here's my answer:
No, I am not going to stop.
And there is less than zero chance of a "reconciliation" with Robert Spencer.
It kind of amazes me that anyone could see what that creep has been posting about me, and suggest that I reconcile. Not going to happen. Ever. I have lost every shred of respect I ever had for him.

Arizona, I think. He played with Zappa, & did his own thing, too. Very strange. Makes Tom Waits look like Top 40.
A lot of his stuff sounds like junk, but then randomly some of his music is extraordinarly beautiful and poignant.

He opened up "Uncle Floyd's" at a Holiday Inn in Wayne, NJ (directly across from "Fountains of Wayne", a real store). I spent three weeks at the hotel. Went to his show every night he was open.
Sat in the back of the room and watched.

His Wiki entry is fascinating. The list of bands he had on is incredible -- I remember the Ramones being frequent guests. He still works 300+ nights a year, and two of his brothers are in the Max Weinberg 7. I'd love to see him live.

I hate to leave such a cool thread, but we're about to watch "Iron Man" for the umpteenth time. This time we're watching it with something called a Riff Track. For $3.99, you can download the MST3K crew mocking the film. You just play it along with the DVD. We did "Star Wars" a couple of weeks ago and it was pretty funny. You just have to imagine the robots in the corner and you're all set. Later, gang.

Good evening.
It look's like the bank stress tests will be out late next week.
Bank ‘Stress Test’ Results Due Next Thursday
By ERIC DASH and EDMUND L. ANDREWS
Published: May 1, 2009
Citigroup is locked in negotiations with federal regulators over whether it needs to raise as much as $10 billion in fresh capital as a result of the government’s stress test of its financial health, according to a person briefed on the situation.But the bank may be able to plug that hole with recent and future measures to raise capital — like asset sales and a big stock conversion plan — that could leave it with more than enough funds to satisfy regulators.
The size of any shortfall hinges on how much regulators will let the bank offset its projected capital needs with actual gains in the first three quar
ters of this year. Regulators are planning to let all 19 banks taking the stress test count any gains they make through the third quarter, as they happen, toward the cushion of capital they are required to hold against a worsening recession, according to people with knowledge of the plan.But the calculations may add another layer of murkiness to the highly-anticipated results, and could further undermine confidence in the exams themselves, by triggering a rolling reassessment of the amount of capital the banks must hold, analysts said.
Federal Reserve and Treasury Department officials said Friday they would delay the release of the stress test results until Thursday afternoon, several days later than they had originally expected, in part because some of the banks continue to disagree with the government’s initial conclusions.
Look for the market to get rocky later this next week. Also, details of the failed negotiations with Chrysler are starting to leak out. From what I heard on the Kudlow Report, the government ngotiators wanted the Union which had a $10 billion investment to get a 55% ownership share, the TARP banks that had a $10 billion investment to get a 35% ownership share, and for the bond holders (which are a primary security) who had about a $28 billion investment to be happy with only a 10% ownership. The bond holders told the government to go pound sand and they would take their chances in court.
That resulted in their getting blasted by the CIC and labeled as "speculators".
I will not be surprised to hear them called "money changers" next.
I would not expect the GM negotiations to go any better.

Thanks for the Beefheart. I just finished a musical history lesson with my 19 year old and her friends about Zappa and they delved further into my collection of old vinyl with some Trout Mask Replica and this album. They seem to look at this old goat differently now. Don Van Vliet appeared on Hot Rats "singing" vocals on Willie the Pimp. They recorded it to a hard drive and now have it on mp3. For youngsters, they have very eclectic taste.

I would be surprised if the Chrysler debt holders get completely screwed for their refusal to play ball. The GM debt holders might think twice about pushing for a hard bargain. They might wind up with nothing at all.

I saw Beefheart in Detroit on his Doc at the Radar Station Tour. A few months later I saw Snakefinger at a little dive bar in Detroit. There couldn't have been more than six of us in the audience. Snakefinger and his band still gave it everything they had. Eric Drew Feldman was in both bands.
I can't help thinking that the guys in Beefheart's later bands (like the one in this video) grew up on stuff like Trout Mask, Strictly Personal, and Mirror Man, and probably idolized the guy.

This was his final album.
He appeared on Letterman that year. The oldest 41-year-old I've ever seen. These day's he's reportedly ill with MS. I read an interview with him in Spin several years ago. Beefheart and the interviewer spoke by phone. He asked the interviewer if he minded if he smoked.

1. Bond holders $28B = 10 per cent
2. Union $10B = 55 per cent
3. TARP Banks $10B = 35 per cent.In which universe would this be acceptable? I'm no financial wizard but, even I think this stinks.
Yep, what you see was a major attempt at income redistribution from the bondholders to the union and the government owned banks.
Actually, you have to give them credit for being so creative about it. You also have to take into account that the bond holders were primary creditors (first in line to get paid back, and the union and banks were secondary creditors (farther down the food chain to get paid back).
The message this sends to the market is do not even think of trying to work with the government.

It depends on the bankruptcy court judge. If the judge gets intimidated by the government, it could be a tough go for the bondholders. If the judge holds to established law though, the bond holders should end up much better off than if they had taken the government deal.
If I'm a GM bond holder, I stop even trying to negotiate with the government right now and just go to bankruptcy court on Monday and get it over with.
This also bring so much risk into doing any kind of deal with the government going forward, that you can forget about any cooperation form the private sector going forward.

The bond holders told the government to go pound sand and they would take their chances in court.
That resulted in their getting blasted by the CIC and labeled as "speculators".
I will not be surprised to hear them called "money changers" next.
They're the senior lien holders, ahead of all the other lien holders, including all the parties TOTUS is representing or controlling through TARP threats.
This is why the bankruptcy laws and courts exist. We'll see if they can withstand the Executive pressure.

Not to be lost in all this was the fact that the Cramdown bill was attempted and fortunately defeated. The bill would have allowed a judge to throw out all existing contracts and law and reset mortgage amounts and rates at their whim.
You would have seen mortgage rates go up to 15% or 20% cause banks would have had to discount in the risk, much like they do with credit cards now.
That would have been a great transfer of wealth from the financial sector to the working poor. Go get a mortgage, then run to court and have a judge reduce the amount you owe.

From the Bible, New International Version (NIV)
Proverbs, Chapter 6, verses 16-19"There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to Him:
Haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heat that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
a false witness who pours out lies,
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

"White Supremacist Recruitment of Military Personnel Since 9/11."
"Several white supremacist extremist groups, including the Church of Jesus Christ Christian/Aryan Nations, adhere to Christian Identity teachings, which anticipate the end of the world and the Second Coming of Christ based upon idiosyncratic interpretations of the Bible. One interpretation anticipates God will use the chosen race (white Christians) as a divine weapon against the forces of evil (nonwhites and Jews) in a purifying race war preliminary to Christ's establishing God's kingdom on earth."

By the way, I emailed Rusty at Jawa Report and told him there was no way in the 7th circle of Dante's hell that I will ever stop exposing Spencer and Geller when they sneak off for European meetings with neo-Nazis.
I'm actually very disappointed in him for making light of what's going on here. He's still trying to sit on the fence.
I just read his most recent, very wordy update. This is the nut, I think:
Not that CJ has ever directly called Robert Spencer a fascist, but I'm not comfortable with the guilt-by-association accusations either. Robert Spencer may be a lot of things, but his views on liberty don't seem too much different than my own. I've honestly avoided the subject because I have such deep admiration for both CJ and Robert.
Rusty is avoiding "taking sides" between two people he likes and admires. So he has left himself uninformed. That's the only description for someone who still thinks it's about "guilt by association." Looks to me like if Rusty took a hard look at all the facts, he could not keep avoiding the emotionally difficult answer.

And high was gin
One "Pink Lady" and how it turned 'em on!
Junk meant trash, and speed was swift,

Hey, Mandy-- as a bankruptcy lawyer, I can tell you that it's illegal. The only way Treasury can roll the bondholders is to get "superpriority" treatment for their post-petition financing from the bankruptcy judge. That's probably next on their list-- squeeze out the holdouts by loaning Chrysler a lot more money that "primes", i.e., supersedes, the bondholders' secured positions. If I were the bondholders, I'd litigate this to the U.S. Supreme Court.

I've used cramdown in a different context. It's illegal in the context of residential first mortgages. The rule is that the court can't write the debt down below the value of the collateral. The court can write the debt down to the value of the collateral, however, and treat the balance of the debt as unsecured.

Ever since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Muslim groups such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the American Muslim Task force on Civil Rights and Elections have been working to provide the FBI information about potential terrorist actions on U.S. soil. But after the bureau’s relationship with Monteilh became public, both groups called for Muslim Americans to consider calling off any outreach efforts with the government.
