Thanks for posting Allan – very cool. Every time I hear the Tiki Men I remember all those times I saw them, especially at Old I – great days. I’ll make sure Micah’s family sees it.

Well damn, BJ, what a bittersweet pleasure that post was. If there is a theme here, its our appreciation of the powerhouse eccentrics who built the California *of the mind* that we know now, as much as Leland Stanford’s and Randolph Hearst’s built the one others knew long before us. Reminds me of our old friend Adam Block. Rock Critic for the Village Voice, the Advocate, Rolling Stone, et al. A force of intellectual detachment colliding with an “in the moment” enthusiasm that no countervailing event (you know, overdue rent, illness or ennui) stood a chance against. Bravo, dude.

I have this record. Micah gave it to me when we worked together. He also lived across the street from me, above Old I, for years. R.I.P. I will remember Micah well!

My favorite Hillsdale release has always been the hard to find Cecilia et ses Ennuis “Avec de Garcons” e.p. Oui!

Not only are The Tiki Men one of my favorite California bands of all time, Hillside records is home to a few of the best records and cds i own.
If anybody is around this weekend, go see Deke Dickerson live, he’s playing all over the place.. Santa Cruz, San Jose, San Francisco, and Sacramento.
