No Drugs Were Used in the Making of This Recording

From sometime after Altamont (1969) but before Randall's Island (1970), please enjoy the loveable youngsters from suburban North Jersey who would later become internet sensations The Weasels -- featuring some dweeb whose name rhymes with Sleeve Nimels on both bass and lead guitar(!) -- and their surprisingly atmospheric rendition of the Jefferson Airplane classic "Today."

Seriously, although an appropriately cannabis-influenced haze seems to hover over the above -- I mean, if you don't listen too closely it could pass for some low-fi bootleg taped at the Fillmore West on a slow night -- the aforementioned loveable youngsters were imbibing nothing more mood enhancing than Yoo-Hoo at the time that was taped. Scout's honor.

I should add that the rest of those responsible for the track include Linda Katz (vocals), Glenn Leeds (flute and psychedlic organ), David Hawxwell (guitar and vocals) and Zoltan Makocy (drums).

Coming tomorrow: an absolutely killer new remake of a British power pop classic performed by musicians I do not know personally.
