Good review of Buckethead @ Summer Camp 2009

Sorry for the lack of attention here, but I'm neck deep in another startup and haven't had time for... just about anything. Yeah, some people never learn. Anyway, I thought I'd pass along a link to a positive review of Buckethead's appearance at Summer Camp 2009. Enjoy.

Relief. Elation! Cautious Optimism...


Okay, this is somewhat, but not entirely, off topic. We have finally rid ourselves of the Worst President Ever. I suppose "worst ever" might be debatable, but I think I can safely say the worst President of the last half a century. In fact I don't think there is any argument possible. It's going to take Obama a long time to clean up this mess both home and abroad, but at least we have a chance. I mean how long will it take to close Guantanamo, get out of Iraq and Afghanistan, establish diplomacy with Iran and/or North Korea, regain the trust of the rest of the world, restore the First Amendment, fend off another Depression, build an almost decent healthcare system... and the list goes on and on and on...

I don't even want to think how much further we would sink with a McBush/Palin administration. More tax breaks for the rich? Even more reckless bailouts for the very people who got us in this mess? Staying in Iraq for a century? A worse healthcare system? A Palin Presidency? And you thought The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was horror.

This isn't as off-topic as you may think. Buckethead is clearly not a Bush supporter; just listen to "Junior" on the Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains album or anything on "Intelligence Failure" with Viggo Mortensen. So, I think it's a safe bet to say Buckethead is pretty happy today.

Buckethead in Doonesbury

Just an FYI: Buckethead is mentioned in today's Doonesbury strip. Strange that he's well-known enough to be mentioned in Doonesbury. I'd really like to see Gary Trudeau draw Buckethead, but I won't hold my breath.

Bucketbots protest Bush

Okay, that's not true but look at this picture:



This is actually a group of protesters in Lima, Peru demanding the closure of Guantanamo. I'm sure Buckethead would approve as he made an entire anti-Bush/war album with Viggo. And don't forget "Junior" by Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains.

Some real news in the New York Times

Buckethead is on the New York Times homepage today. How cool is that?

(I Can't Get No) Science Faxtion



Sorry, I couldn't resist working Satisfaction in. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find the most eagerly awaited disc of the year in the shops around here, so I had to order online. Damn, it's hard to wait! I'll be seeing Buckethead & That One Guy this Thursday in Santa Cruz and Friday in Redwood City, so - if I get it together - I'll write a little about those shows this weekend.

More on Science Faxtion

A new article about Science Faxtion - Buckethead, Bootsy, Brain, & Greg Hampton - on the Rolling Stone website (Rolling Stone is still around?) says that the debut album will be out in September. Check out the article for some good quotes from Bootzilla and more info. I can't wait!
