Earliest known olive oil factory

This reconstruction of the earliest known olive oil factory demonstrates a simple yet ingenious process to extract olive oil from olives using pulleys, levers, and gravity decanting. This was much more effective than using mortar and pestle to make olive oil, typically used for small scale production. Dating back to the 6th century BC, this factory was located in the Ionian city of Clazomenae, on what is now the coast of western Turkey. This photo shows the press used to squeeze the olive oil out from burlap sacks filled with a paste of ground up olives.
I’m guessing part of the key to the Mediterranean Diet is the exercise you get pushing this olive press around. ;)

Influences
If YOU LOVE JOHNNY HICKMAN SINGING and GUITARING, and CHRIS LEROYS Melodic invention

GAROD!
AND FROM GAROD...
Dedication - The Dangers

Again, I'm too biased to accurately assess this album, but the duo of Johnny Hickman and Chris LeRoy bring together influences from all over the map. You get a little rock-a-billy, country punk, and roots rock all rolled into one. Fans of music of all genres will probably enjoy this the most. Front Door and Sunday Morning are going in high rotation on the Ipod. Those are two good ones to try out...

MORST: PICK OF THE WEEK


Forward, into the past!


Less than a month after playing at Madison's High Noon Saloon, Toronto's Rock Plaza Central returned to Wisconsin to perform a set on July Fourth. The stage was set up on a roped-off street, and audio and crew were provided by the Pabst/Riverside Theatre. Steven Malkmus of Pavement was the headliner, but I was there to see RPC.

This is the third time I’ve picked a Rock Plaza Central track for my Pick Of The Week, and the last time was just two weeks ago. The first time I picked RPC, I chose I Am An Excellent Steel Horse, a track from their album Are We Not Horses. The pick a couple weeks ago was Oh I Can from the new album, whose title is abbreviated “. . . In The Moment Of Our Most Needing.”

My pick this week is another song on the new album, this time it’s “How Shall I To Heaven Aspire?” Rock Plaza Central has a way of getting stuck in my head that I really enjoy. I just found out they’ll be returning to Wisconsin in September for the 2nd annual Forward Music Festival so it’s FORWARD INTO THE PAST!

Polka anybody?
This week we have the last rock band on the planet "CRACKER" with a very rare Polka song, featuring kenny Margolis.---> "The Shiner Song" from Erinstock" I have included the lyrics to this classic polka tune, so you can sing along with David and Johnny.
"The Shiner Song"
Kdyz jsme opustili Shiner, slunce svitilo
Kdyz jsme opustili Shiner, slunce svitilo
Piva bylo dosti, a jidla do citosti
Piva bylo dosti, a jidla do citosti
Kdyz jsme opustili Shiner, slunce svitilo

Kdyz jsme opustili pivovar, becka byla prazdna
Kdyz jsme opustili pivovar, becka byla prazdna
A my jsme popijeli, a dobre jsme se neili
A my jsme popijeli, a dobre jsme se neili
Kdyz jsme opustili pivovar, becka byla prazdna

Kdyz jsme opustili prahu, slunce svitilo
Kdyz jsme opustili prahu, slunce svitilo
Piva bylo dosti, a jidla do citosti
Piva bylo dosti, a jidla do citosti
Kdyz jsme opustili prahu, slunce svitilo
