::Duck & Cover Wants You! (or at least your pretty words.)::

Duck & Cover is officially soliciting YOU, our readers, to contribute to our content, and have something of a hand in shaping the future of D&C. (Well, perhaps not "shape the future" so much as have the privilege of knowing us "back when", either way, cred such as that is beoming harder and harder to come by these days.)

We would love to see record reviews, show reviews, vile gossip (we LOVE vile/salacious gossip, however, only on the grounds that it may be substantiated. No slander/libel please), book reviews, live music photography, and etc. (As a side note, we would very much appreciate at least ONE photo to accompany live music reviews -- worst case scenario, a shot of the venue, night of the show would suffice, OR, get creative. We love creativity, but remember, creativity stops being clever when it is not RELEVANT; we cannot stress focus enough, really.) We can't promise that we will print/publish everything that we receive, but we will definitely look at it and mull it over, perhaps while enjoying our morning coffee.

Additionally, submission to D&C includes implied consent that we may edit your submission for content or length, but, should significant rewrites be necessary, we will return it to you for such. So, assuming that you've not been turned off by such self important posturing, then you are probably ("possibly" would sound a bit cold, now, wouldn't it?) Duck & Cover material, and we would love to see what you have to say.

We are opening the editorial floodgates, so to speak, and encouraging all interested parties to send their submissions to duckandcovermusic@gmail.com.

Oh, and one last thing? We're terribly sorry, but we'll not be able to pay you. We thought that was inferred, but then decided that we should be a tidge more clear on that point. So no. No payment, just the glory of participating in the great populist movement of "New Media." Huzzah!

May Day Is Lei Day

By
For the past 31 years in Honolulu, the Brothers Cazimero have hosted an annual May Day variety show at the Waikiki Shell Ampitheatre (because May Day is Lei Day!). When living there, I had the privilege of attending twice, the last time being the 30th anniversary, and just after the sad passing of the legendary Don Ho. Both times were, at the risk of allowing my cynical mask slip, magical. The May Day show is great fun, and follows the format of an old time variety show -- there is an aura of glamour interspersed with a decidedly camp sensibility, with hula stars of past and present gracing the stage. Spirits are high, and the banter among the performers is priceless; at times it feels as though you've wandered into a family reunion, and are a long lost cousin -- instantly at home and enveloped in the warmth. It's a time to celebrate the spirit and culture that truly do make the islands such a special place. There's a song that plays before the Sunset On The Beach movies...

The Racoon Wedding :: Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth

By
Download The Paper Boy from The Racoon Wedding's album, Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth Sounds Like : they're gonna rip your ribcage out and find your heart RIYL : White Rabbits, Portugal. The Man, Fanfarlo, Rolling Stones ala Beggar's Banquet From the Press Release : Forming from the ashes of Vermicious Knid, and authoring songs in the basement of the all ages not-for-profit art space they own in a nook of the city’s forgotten downtown, frontman Tim Ford and company boast a sense of loyalty to their community that few other bands share. On their debut LP, Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth , issued this October via their own Ford Plant Recordings Co., the band enlisted the help of engineer Leon Taheny (of the Final Fantasy recording credit) and hammered out a record that teems with the spirit of long-forgotten roots music. It’s indebted to the history of mighty back porch music: unbridled, unedited, beautifully intense.
