Pseu Pseu Pseudio - Pseudonymous Musical One-Offs at the Amoeblog

Pseu Pseu Pseudio - Pseudonymous Musical One-Offs

Whatever the reason, sometimes artists release music under assumed names. Off the top of my head, I can only think of two: T. Rex who released a single under the name "Big Carrot," and Denim, who released a single as "Supermarket" (which the liner notes claimed were two young boys from Denmark). Who else is there?

Who would float me to my island dream? -- A Channel Islands Primer

I've still only been to one of the Channel Islands -- Santa Catalina. The Channel Islands archipelago is a real treasure with over ten thousand years of human history and amazing biodiversity. Here's my Channel Islands primer. Happy Native American Heritage Month!

Blow some my way -- Exploring Chesterfield Square

Blow some my way -- Exploring Chesterfield Square

Have you heard of Chesterfield Square? It's where Boyz N the Hood was filmed, where Good Fred Hair Oil was invented, and where Ray Harryhausen lived and rented a special effects studio. It also has the highest violent crime rate in the city and county but that shouldn't stop you from visiting... nothing bad is going to happen to you!
