Archie (Wednesday 26th March 2025)

I was in Chippenham this morning for a hearing test so on the way back I made a second attempt at the first car hand-wash place I had tried to get Archie's pigeon bird lime removed. It took fifty minutes including the wait but I was impressed with their thoroughness, and Archie now looks clean again. Buzz will be due there shortly.

The theme for this week's Wide Wednesday is "a natural frame" which I think the car provides. With thanks to BobsBlips for hosting.

Lozarithm's Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Moby Grape - Omaha (recorded 23 April 1967, Hollywood CA)
I realized last year that there was far too little Moby Grape in my collection, in particular their single Omaha. I bought a 2CD "Best Of" to correct that and replayed it today. Omaha was written by Skip Spence, fresh from his role as drummer in the Jefferson Airplane.
In 2008, Skip Spence's song Omaha was listed as number 95 in Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time. The song was described there as follows: "On their best single, Jerry Miller, Peter Lewis and Skip Spence compete in a three-way guitar battle for two and a quarter red-hot minutes, each of them charging at Spence's song from different angles, no one yielding to anyone else." Writing in 1967, shortly after the album's release, Crawdaddy! creator Paul Williams described  Omaha as "the toughest cut on the album (and) one of the finest recorded examples of the wall-of-sound approach in rock. It surges and roars like a tidal wave restrained by a seawall." - Wikipedia.
