When I was 19 I dropped acid for the first time and while waiting for it to kick in drank Bacardi Golden Reserve and smoked pot. About 4 hours in as things were really humming along, I went for a quick ride with a friend, who popped a cassette in. The most incredibly weird music with spooky voices started to assault me from the speakers. I asked my fiend who this was and he told me it was "Whole Lotta Love", but it didn't sound like that to me. After listening further I started to become concerned and told myself, "concentrate, and when you listen again, it will be 'Whole Lotta Love'". Nope! By this point I thought I had done something very bad to my brain. I (desperately) asked my friend again who it was. Anyway, this is the story of why ". . . And the Gods Made Love" will be very high on my ballot.

Do I even need to bother campaigning for Emmylou's stunning take on "May This Be Love" for the covers ballot? Just in case, then:

Forgot Prince did "Purple House" (a cover of "Red House") with Larry Graham on bass. Released in 2004 on a Hendrix tribute album but speculated to have been recorded in 1999.
He's done it live as well, but here's that studio recording:

Was just listening to the Burbank loss leader album, which for a long time was the only way to get the original 45 mix of "The Stars That Play With Laughing Sam's Dice" on an album. I wanted to share it, but...NOT ON YOUTUBE (and the version on South Saturn Delta is a cleaned-up remix).

― in twelve parts (lamonti), Monday, 6 April 2020 07:07 (three years ago) link
Has everyone checked out http://www.rockprophecy.com/ before? I've been checking it every couple years for 20 years ever since I saw an ad for it in the back of a Village Voice. It's a grand conspiracy about how Hendrix was an alien prophet come to warn humans about an asteroid that is going to wipe out the Earth and love (and a spaceship?) will somehow save us. The guy used to work for Hendrix rights holder putting together releases before he was fired when the Hendrix Estate reacquired the rights in the late 1990s, so he mixes in the whole thing with a weird, paranoid hatred of Paul Allen (who funded the Experience Hendrix Museum) and has a very strong whiff of disgruntled employee. The final cherry on top is he plays in a Hendrix cover band and uses a left-hand Strat upside down or whatever like Hendrix. This is fun stuff.
― Why, I would make a fantastic Nero! (PBKR), Monday, 6 April 2020 12:49 (three years ago) link
imi Hendrix sang, wrote, and spoke about his remote view of Rock. Government sponsored scientific studies prove that the ability to remote view is an inborn trait in some people. Jimi named what he saw Electric Love - the asteroid aimed to impact our planet. At 10 pm (London Time) on Friday the 13th in April of the year 2029 Common Era (Year 86 Uncommon Era) asteroid 2004 MN4 will arrive.In July "2005" NASA re-named asteroid 2004 MN4 as the "Apophis" (the Greek word for "Evil Destruction"). NASA'a official number for Apophis is "999-42" - which is 666-6 ("4+2"=6) - sign of the devil - upside down and backwards.

Okay, I've got 29 ballots in. If you've received an email saying "Received!", your votes have been counted. I have one ballot that the ranks need to be adjusted on, and I've got one yet to be counted that has a minor issue to be addressed with the voter. I'll keep this open for another couple days in case anyone else wants to vote.
In other business, is there anyone open to doing images for the main rollout?

To be nice, I'm keeping the beach polls open through the weekend, after which they'll be closed. I've come up with an idea for the tracks images that I'll work on over the weekend. On Monday we'll get into the side polls and hopefully on Tuesday the tracks rollout will begin!
