Wonder Valley

De Anza College, one of 108 California Community Colleges, is located in the Silicon Valley/San Francisco Bay Area. The Distance Learning Center offers students an alternative to traditional classroom studies with courses available through a variety media including, cable TV, online, videoconferencing and mixed media. Courses are designed to accommodate both students who prefer courses that do not require on-campus meetings and students who want some face-to-face contact with instructors and classmates. De Anza courses parallel the first two years of four-year degree program requirements of the University of California, California State University, and private colleges and universities.

The next KFJC Psychotronix Film Festival will occur on Saturday, April 18th, from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM, in Forum 1 on the De Anza College Campus. See map. There will be a $5.00 donation which benefits KFJC, and you’ll need 8 quarters for a parking permit.
The Psychotronix Film Festival shows only 16mm films, the vinyl of visuals, an archaic medium that brings us wondrous images of a near forgotten time. Antiquated commercials, neglected cartoons, previews from old movies, various short subjects which may have been intentionally educational then that are now just unintentionally funny.

These films are the vox populi, not the master’s voice, made by people looking for a paycheck, not immortality. The Psychotronix wants you to experience something not old enough to be precious nor young enough to be contemporary. A black and white world of irradiated, enormous insects, big hair, large cars, and happy people satisfied by the mild, mild, mild taste of tobacco. When the only worrisome foreign ownership was the prevalence of Canada Dry soft drinks.

An invisible art, this collection of films would never be celebrated by the academy. Monsters and clowns, the goofs and the gallants, products long gone and quaint notions of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. All this and more at the Psychotronix. Door prizes. There will also be surprise guests as well as a roomful of people who like the same things you do- and how often does that happen?
These are films with never-weres not has-beens, though that doesn’t mean that they are without talent, even if only a talent to amuse, at this point. You will want to see the Psychotronix- for the history, for the hysteria, for the histrionics. You’ll laugh and wonder how it was that this corner of culture could ever have escaped your attention. See the shocking, eye-staggering truth, the follies and foibles, the catchy tunes, and the tidal waves of terror that are all part of the Psychotronix Film Festival.
Before you get too smug, remember that the distance of time allows us to see a culture’s conceits. How will the future look at you, look at us? The future is now and the Psychotronix Film Festival is just weeks away. Previous Psychotronix have sold-out, so for best seating, get there early. Doors open at 6:00 PM.

The Sibleys at The Palms

I liked a review of the place I read somewhere it where it mentioned local color like a couple of fights and a guy with an oxygen tank smoking cigarettes. Anyhoo, the bar’s remoteness makes it a bona fide dive bar. The wild west, and as close as you would get to that ambience today. The Sibley’s deserve praise for that more than their music.

Some footage of me singing live with my back-up music at a freind’s church. Check out my other video of this song with the slideshow.

Lyrics:

I Know You Believe In Me

I still remember when I used to dance
Those were the days I felt so free
Sometimes I feel I missed out on the chance
To be who I was meant to be

No more foolish pride
To hide the fear inside

CHORUS
I look around this world of wonder
And I know theres a plan that I just cant see
Stormy seas wont pull me under
I just need to know you believe in me

Like faded flowers wrapped in autumns chill
I know that time will take its toll
But Ive so many dreams left to fulfill
And its not time thats in control

With eyes open wide
I will not break my stride

CHORUS
I look around this world of wonder
And I know theres a plan that I just cant see
Stormy seas wont pull me under
I just need to know you believe in me

When Ive had enough
And I cant seem to stand on my own two feet
Times dont seem as tough
When I fall to my knees and I pray

Through all the tears Ive cried
You were by my side

CHORUS
I look around this world of wonder
And I know theres a plan that I just cant see
Stormy seas wont pull me under
All because I know you believe in me

I look around this world of wonder
And I know theres a plan that I just cant see
Stormy seas wont pull me under
All because I know you believe in me

All because I know you believe in me

This is my Rendition/COVER of JIMI HENDRIX – VALLEYS OF NEPTUNE

I have figured this one out by ear.
The chords and notes (and even tuning of my guitar) could be wrong.

This month Februari 2010, The Jimi Hendrix Single: Valleys Of Neptune was officially released.

Sorry for the Lighting. Something went wrong with the upload.

Great rework of a classic. Fantastic. The bass line is wicked. Very cool peak time track. Big room killer. This is massive. I am 100% sure that it will rock. Wow!

When DJs start making comments like these, you know theres something very special going on, and its no wonder, because UMEK has taken a true classic and worked his magic to create a remix with a very modern twist and bundles of energy.

Hablando always was, and always will be, a great peak-time party track, and the Slovenian master producer has kept the essential essence of the original and given it that new punch and power to suit todays dancefloors, which is all it ever needed.

Samims squeezebox-tastic Heater on Get Physical may have been a massive stand out tune during the summer of 2007, but it was Ramirez who created the first accordion techno track way back in 1991 when Hablando first appeared. Since those early days it has become a staple of any self-respecting DJs box.

The Ramirez project was created by the legendary Italian DFC (Dance Floor Corporation) label, and featured members of their in-house production team alongside main member Ramirez. Davide Rizzatti, Elvio Moratto and Ricki Persi were the musicians, while Alex Quiroz Buelvas was the singer and front man for videos and performances. What made Ramirez stand out from the crowd was the use of fresh sounds, great melodies and uplifting lyrics. Songs like Baraonda, La Musica Tremenda and Terapia, still sound fresh and full of energy today. Maybe this is a lesson for the young producers everywhere?

Now in 2009, UMEK has done a masterful job with Hablando by refreshing peoples ears with his modern twist on an all time classic. Enjoy!
