Rambin' Ambassadors - Live at the Marquee Room

Here's some more video from Coyote Will, this time of the mighty Ramblin' Ambassadors, accompanied by what we think is the Kabuki Guns Burlesque. He didn't tell us what year this was taken, but we're pretty sure this is from some time around 2008 - the Golden Age of Burlesque in this fine city of ours, before the Government outlawed such horrible displays of fun.

This video reminds us of two things. First, how much fun it is to watch Brent Cooper play guitar. And, second, what a great venue the Marquee Room was.

Chad VanGaalen - Cassette Series (2011)

Now, we at the CCPS aren't the most "with it" or "on top of things" (as you can tell by the lack of posts from the past few weeks, as well as by Gene's choices in clothing), so maybe you can excuse us for having completely slept on the cassette series that local wunderkind Chad VanGaalen put out, uh, three years ago. We're pretty sure that every blog and music zine has already written about this ad nauseum, but for the official CCPS record, we'll quickly restate that this was a series of eight tapes of home recordings that VanGaalen put out as a charity thang.

Amazingly, there are still a few in the Flemish Eye webstore, so we snagged some. We're also going to buy Gene a pair of skinny jeans and a new haircut, to further catch up.
