STEVE TERRELL, TRUE AMERICAN CITIZEN

I took this "American Citizenship Test" and passed with flying colors. (No, the flying colors weren't from an LSD flashback.)

I think in real life thought the citizenship test is a lot harder.

You Passed the US Citizenship Test

Congratulations - you got 10 out of 10 correct!

Could You Pass the US Citizenship Test?

MORE BOOTLEG DEBATE VIDEO!

I haven't really been keeping up with the District 2 Congressional race in southern New Mexico. About all I know is that incumbent Republican Steve Pearce is taking a page out of the Bill Richardson playbook by resfusing to debate his lesser-known, under-funded underdog opponent on television.

I didn't realize until now that, according to Heath Haussamen, a debate between Pearce and Democrat Al Kissling actually was recorded by a Las Cruces TV station in late August, but "was never broadcast because Pearce, a debate ducker, wouldn’t allow it, and FCC rules require the approval of both candidates, according to the station."

But Heath has obtained a copy of the debate and posted it on his blog. CHECK IT OUT.

eMUSIC OCTOBER

* Indian War Whoop by The Holy Modal Rounders. Imagine a full-color remake of Li'l Abner where everyone in Dogpatch is tripping on acid ...



* Dreams Come True - Hi - I Love You Right Heartily Here - New Songs by Judee Sill Most of these are outtakes from the long-lost third abum by the troubled Judee, who died before it ever saw the light of day. This doesn't match up to Heartfood, but it's a welcome addition to the works of a tragically overlooked singer and songwriter.

* Ray Sings, Basie Swings by Ray Charles & The Count Basie Orchestra. This album features live Charles vocals backed up by the Basie band later in the studio. Artificial? Maybe. But it sounds terrific. I couldn't resist when I saw it had "O What a Beautiful Morning." And it didn't disappoint. It was almost as good as the time I saw Ray live.


* RE-Search: Incredibly Strange Music Volume 2 Some cocktail exotica. Some "outsider" music. Some bad novelty tunes. Some Ken Nordine "word jazz." A bad raga-rock version of "The Letter." And, of course, Little Marcy, a singing Christian puppet. I was playing some selections from this album in the office Friday. "Where do you find this stuff?" a co-worker asked. "I don't," I replied. "It finds ME."


" Delusion of the Fury by Harry Partch. I'm just wild about Harry. He's a true musical iconoclast who not only invented his own scales but inveneted his own strange instruments on which to play his otherworldy wonder works. He hated synthesizers. He hated academia. He was a hobo as well as a homo. Check here for his bio and seek out his music. This one's a good place to start.


America's Most Colorful Hillbilly Band by The Maddox Brothers & Rose . I heard "The Meanest Man in Town" on Home of Happy Feet Tuesday night, I knew I had to have more Maddox Brothers & Rose into my life. This California family band was loud and rowdy and sister Rose was pure hillbilly sex appeal. I only had enought left on eMusic this month to download 15 tracks, but I'll be back next month to nab the rest of this -- and possibly the second volume also.

PAIGE McKENZIE RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL

This just in from Tom Garrity:

Following several surgeries, Paige McKenzie was released today from University Hospital. While she has made a remarkable recovery to this point, Paige still has a long road of recovery ahead. Paige and her family are grateful to the medical staff at University Hospital.

Paige is with her parents, the three will be staying at an undisclosed location as she continues the healing process.

Paige is very encouraged by all of the cards, letters and word of support from her friends and colleagues in New Mexico and around the country.

Those who want to show their support of Paige during this time are encouraged to make a donation to the "Paige McKenzie Fund" at First Community Bank, formerly First State Bank. Donations can be made to the teller or mailed to First Community Bank, Post Office Box 3686 Albuquerque, New Mexico 87190. Donations will go to offset medical costs associated with her assault.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?

The John Dendahl campaign has yet to run any television ads, but his friends at the Republican Governors Association are buying one for him. VIEW IT HERE

It shows an bobble-head version of Richardson bouncing from one state to another. He mumbles and shouts "Whee!" I'll leave it to your own interpretation of what it looks like he's doing in front of The White House.

I'm sure Richardson doesn't like the ad, but he might be grateful that it makes him look so thin.

In case you haven't been near a t.v. set in the past three months, here's where you can find all of Richardson's campaign commericals. CLICK HERE

And here's something I stumbled across while looking for the RGA ad on YouTube:
