hutch's favorite Kurt Vile on "Passenger Side" wasn't too bad either.

can confirm

Mavis stuff was nice as well

and Neil Francis on "Theologians" !

What I find confusing is there is also a Neil Frances. Playing within nine days of Neil Francis at Union Stage.

I *think* I posted a meme about that, but someone with better search capabilities would have to dig that up.

VERY memeable!!

Personal clapton tangent
Was quite enjoying Cornershop's 'everywhere that wog army roam" (killer tune with a very jimmy cliff harder they fall feeling)
really had no idea what Wog meant, but then I heard about some racist rant Clapton had in the 70's where he was calling people Wog's and connected the dots

Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands… So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country … I don’t want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white …

arsehole

Welp say a little pray for those who run Damon Albran\Blur’s social media  as he just ticked off the Swifties

I posted the thing about clapton and didn't realize he was taking it up a notch on crazy

Eric Clapton claims people vaccinated against COVID-19 are under 'hypnosis'

Guy is 76 I think

speaking of musicians in their late 70s
not the biggest Brian W/Beach Boi fan, but this made me smile

While in high school, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys got an 'F' in his music class for writing the song Surfin; a song which went on to be the Beach Boys' breakout hit.
In 2018, his grade was changed from an 'F' to an 'A.'

Damon has apologized to Taylor, hopefully the news reached the JA before any Blur, etc releases were harmed… and the LA Times really went full click bait on that quote

Now on to OMG where are my clutching pearls… the president called someone a stupid son of a bitch… which of course shifts attention from the M&Ms characters being woke… is the Carhartt boycott still a thing?

<rant off>

Just when the “feud” had generated all the needed amount of clickbait, the president of Chile weighs in

“They can have [Joe] Rogan or Young,” Neil Young wrote in a letter to his manager and label, “Not both." Young demands Spotify remove his music over "false information about vaccines" https://rol.st/3nXPaML

Neil Young:

“I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them,” he writes. “Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule.”

I just stumbled across Vas' setlist account. Whoa.

Spotify removing Neil Young’s catalog at his request.

Team Neil or get off my planet.

Damn straight!

Goddamn, I’m going to have to switch from Spotify to AppleMusic now, aren’t I?

Or check out Qobuz!!!!

If you listen to primary to albums Qobuz is a fantastic service.  It streams at CD quality or better.  They create decent playlists and don’t have a great random feature, but none of that really matters to be.  Being able to download albums at CD quality to listen to via CarPlay is one it’s best features.  I haven’t dived into the Hi-Rez capabilities as the equipment is a bit pricey

Also be sure to sign up for the service on their website first… not sure if it’s changed or not but when I first downloaded the app from Apple and signed up through the install process it ended up costing more as Apple added an extra cost since they managed the subscription… they have the obligatory free trial available

Also, sometimes Qobuz has the best price on 16/44.1 lossless downloads.

Tidal is free although if you want the higher quality audio, you can pay for those versions.
