Musing on Music: Bethany Heights "Proper Medication"

Proper Medication is the newest single from Phoenix's
own Bethany Heights. Proper Medication is from their
debut EP entitled Paydirt. It was recorded with Craig
Long. The trio consists of Andrew David on vocals and
guitar, John Carter on bass, and Atom Albany on drums.
The single channels Brittany Fox, Warrant, and Poison -
the hair metal kings of the 90s.  Proper Medication is
guitar and drum heavy. They are the driving force in the
song. I could barely hear  John Carter on bass on this
track. I LOVE bass but its absense in this case kinda
works. Proper Medication has grooves within grooves.
The hook is catchy as hell and you'll find yourself singing
the song long after it's done spinning.

Thanks for the review Victoria and of course for showing some love to a local west Phoenix band. Wanted to point out a correction though.. Proper Medication was produced by Greg Norris at Arsenal Studios in Denver, CO. Our other itunes track "Cannonball" was produced by Craig Long in Sacramento, CA. Thanks again and would love to hear your comments on our next Paydirt single "Das Stereo", produced by Otto D'Agnolo at Chaton Studios in Phoenix, AZ.. to be released soon.

Ishi: The Last Yahi

Image
   Ishi (c1861 – March 25, 1916) was the last known member of the Native American Yahi people from the present-day state of California in the United States. The rest of the Yahi (as well as many members of their parent tribe, the Yana) were killed in the California genocide in the 19th century. Ishi, who was widely acclaimed as the "last wild Indian" in the United States, lived most of his life isolated from modern North American culture. In 1911, aged 50, he emerged at a barn and corral, 2 mi (3.2 km) from downtown Oroville, California. Ishi, which means "man" in the Yana language, is an adopted name. The anthropologist Alfred Kroeber gave him this name because, in the Yahi culture, tradition demanded that he not speak his own name until formally introduced by another Yahi. When asked his name, he said: "I have none, because there were no people to name me," meaning that there was no other Yahi to speak his name on his behalf. Ishi was taken in by anthrop
