I wanted To see what Ed Sheeran was like. I vomited afterWards.
old and new dreams - playing
don cherry, dewey redman, charlie haden, ed blackwell
recorded live in austria 1980
i love me some ecm jazz.




local classic from 1973…. recorded at Track (Silver Spring)… these guys used to play a lot of gigs with the Soul Searchers (Chuck Brown) in the early 70s… but this was their only album..its pretty good….funky…some nice fuzz guitar. the original is hard to track down (found it only recently for $1!) but much like everything these days it was re-released on vinyl……its amazing how much stuff is being re-released on vinyl… even really obscure stuff that hardly sold back in the day…

Reading their autobiographies and going through a major Joy Division/New Order phase… I just hope they come to DC area later this year…

Honestly k-pop is what is going to keep going for awhile
Hell yeah
Seriously, I'm just waiting for some western artist to come in, adopt the whole KPOP schtick, and take it to the top. Grimes is kinda doing it, but she's such a contrary weirdo that I'm wondering if she'll just screw it up.

But I've been saying to anyone who will listen that KPOP is the New Modern Motown.
The Family- The Family


fascinating listening to Nothin Compares 2 U…. there was a great song there to be covered but Sinead got to it first…  the changes she made to it along with getting rid of the sax solo really took the song up a few notches…
Luna- Romantica/Rendezvous



I happen to really like Luna's final two albums….they are criminally underrated…anyways I couldn't help ordering signed copies of their final LPs via pledgemusic but it really was a bit pointless as I already had a bunch of their stuff signed…just wanted to support them..

^again..this time really cranked up.. what a great record…
I am a fan of The Great Rock and Roll Swindle as well.



so I was reading in both Peter Hook and Bernard Sumner's autobiographies about how they came to NYC to record what turned out to be Confusion with Arthur Baker and they both talk about the act Arthur Baker was recording before them ….so of course when I saw it I had to get it….notice Jellybean of Madonna fame working under Arthur Baker…Bernard in particular seems pretty fond of the song so I thought I would check it out…. the production similarities between it and say Confusion or Shellshock are very noticeable…

its a strange bird.. many record stores don't realize its a prince record so i've found copies fairly cheap……..its very much a prince record though…. the lead singer dude was obviously played prince singing the songs the way prince does cause he sounds like he is pretending to be prince….i also like hearing susan melvoin singing on it.. i think my favorite prince unofficial records are probably vanity 6, the first The Time record, and the jill jones (she sings a line on 1999)

the madhouse stuff is hard to find but its not that great..
new The Flaming Lips

its so weird and mellow yellow like floating on a cloud of not wanting to be too crazy

I think about my birthday show coming up at the club almost everyday . . . and of meeting the mighty Julian.

Coincidentally, that experience has also been described as "so weird and mellow yellow like floating on a cloud of not wanting to be too crazy."
