Tuesday Night Music
I stumbled on to a treasure trove of B-sides from Jamie Woolford and The Stereo (and Let Go). Start with this cover of “All My Lovin'” — if you like it, go here and let the 10-song playlist play.
You may be hearing more from Jamie Woolford on this blog in coming days.

Fun fact Anson Williams uncle was a famous doctor. Dr. Henry Heimlich, namesake of the Heimlich maneuver.
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/22/2017 @ 4:44 pmI just bought the book yesterday, “Heimlich’s Manuevers: My Seventy Years in Lifesaving Innovations” by Henry J. Heimlich, MD (Prometheus Books, 2014) for $1.00 (plus tax = approximatelay $1.09)
It’s got a lot of interesting stories in it. You learn how he cured trachoma with a makeshift sulfa preparation in 1945, before it was even published. Doctors used to be innovative. He apologizes in the front of the book for experimenting so much on dogs (the issue of animal rights had not been fully recognized by the medical community yet, he writes) He shouldn’t. Maybe they’re wrong now, although maybe a lot of it would now be unnecessary. What’s really unnecessary is duplicating other work, or stretching things out with many many studies – splitting an advance into many, many, tiny parts..
I also printed out from the New York Times the story about him using it (maybe for the first time) at the age of 96 in 2016, and his obituary, and am going to try to get it into the book. I may need to copy it to a smaller size.
He got into controversy because he started trying to cure cancer by giving people malaria, and also how they argued the Heimlich manuever it was not good for drowning victims – he said it was and slapping people in the back was almost the worst thing to do. The Red Cross claimed they were not doctors and only following medical guidelines. They changed guidelines twice, first to mention him and then not to. Maybe the slapping was a way of pausing to make sure there’s really a problem.
Anson Williams is not in the index. His late wife, Jane, also wrote a book called “Out of step” published in 2010. She was the daughter of Arthur Murray of the Arthur Murray Dance studio. That was not his original name.

Nah – I’m just kidding.

Two more paragraphs down on that page, if you’re interested Sammy.
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/22/2017 @ 6:57 pmHad a dig a bit, but found their treatment of El Scorcho, from the unsung Weezer 2nd album. At least it’s more pleasant than the covers of Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.
