East of Eden - From Snafu Live 1970 {Part 2 of 2}.

Here's East of Eden with "Moth" on French TV in 1970. This track is from their first LP, Mercator Projected, which I found a few days ago and have listened to about 100 times since. This was released before King Crimson's "In the Court of the Crimson King." Unfortunately East of Eden changed into a more jazz-rock outfit afterwards, much like what happened to Soft Machine after "Third." Between 1968 and 1970, they did play shows with, amongst others, Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, Van der Graaf Generator, King Crimson, Arthur Brown, Caravan, Amon Duul, and Family.

The Head of an Indian

I found this head in an antiques mall in Alpena, Michigan. It is life-size and weighs about ten pounds.


His new home.

Smokes in the Sky

A little more than a week ago, the Saturday of the U Mich/U Conn game, a plane wrote a big "M" and a big "BLUE" in the sky. There were two "M"s, actually, floating over Ann Arbor and all the college students, football fans, and organically-inclined, irritated-by-the-football-game folks below.

A Big Box of Pennies

A couple days ago, someone left a tremendously heavy box on my porch. First I thought it might be full of nails, or nuts and bolts; but no--it's a box of pennies. I've counted out 5000 or so, so far, and I'm guessing there's still about 15,000 left.

Weird thing is, there isn't one penny newer than 1982, though there are some Canadian pennies from the 90's. And I've only found two wheatbacks...Oh well, I'm taking the first 5000 or so to a Coinstar machine later today.
