BJ the DJ

It's an Accident song, so not nearly what you're thinking...


Now here's some DJs that have proved memorable for me for a variety of reasons, and also have me conjecturing that they have had the pleasure at one point or another in their lives, and have also judiciously avoided an early demise unlike the subject of the song...:

Cousin Brucie, one of the 35 "5th Beatles"


Michael Tierson (center) who always seemed to catch the correct vibe of what was on the menu - an affable chap., sounded like he was laying down...


Jimmy Saville, straight from the pages of the Beano, knighted and beknighted (for his looks)


...and Soupy Sales, sire of Tony and Hunt friend to Pookie and White Fang, but who got his start in radio.

Decay


I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and laws they could not live by; I let them become defiled through their gifts—the sacrifice of every firstborn—that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the LORD.Ezekiel 20:25-26


God did tempt Abraham, ... And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest ... and offer him there for a burnt offering...
Genesis 22:1-2


Some small boys came out of the city and jeered at [the prophet Elisha], saying, "Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!" And ... he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys.
II Kings 2:23-24


....in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. Deuteronomy 20:10-17


If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death.Leviticus 20:9

Music for Blue Bloggers


For Goof, Lellebelle, Tom Sutpen, Sebastian and everybody who's been there & done that. Gavin Bryars did this 30 years ago and then about ~>decade or so ago again where he admittedly took advantage of the new CD format to allow him to make thet piece as long as possible. Plus his added cachet as a more prominent composer got him a great venue - a giant empty water tank, and it's commensurate sonic-sinking-ship ambience (in France) which, in fact, adds je ne sais quoi .



Frig- listen to it - it's heavenly - despite it's mournful subject matter.

Go buy it - own it - support the quintessential oddball artist.
