Wayward - Netflix

Not familiar with him, will need to check it out, thanks!

Speaking of northern soul, I loved EMusic's rereleases of the two Nolan Porter albums with gobs and gobs of bonus tracks. I see that his wife Candy Zappa wrote a bio in 2021.

I have begun reading this timely-published book and find it excellent in many ways: accurate in its factual presentation (I know more than a bit about the subject matter) and entertaining as it educates and explains. s-l1600994×1500 90.5 KB

Duke Ellington and his Orchestra "The Centennial Edition: Complete RCA Victor Recordings" disc 5 of 24 It's time for some Duke. 1930 to 1931 recordings on this disc. Sonically rich and great music.

The BBC talks to James Marriott about the post-literate age or the death of reading... https://www.bbc.com/audio/play/w3ct71cy

I will consult my Stabilität dictionary when back home.

Another gem from Resonance Records...

Looks great. I also see an appealing-looking 1977 Tony Coe performance. Being out of space by a mile, I may go digital for these, but will listen one way or another.

yes, the whole operation is in different hands now. Maybe that was a poor choice of words, but you get my drift.

Long since. Completely different operation for all intents & purposes.

Yes, I was going to ask - is the Cadence Building (if there really is such a building) now a pedophile-free zone?

I've got quite a number of Cadence LPs and CDs (as well as CIMP discs). Pretty interesting and important label and distribution pathway (Cadence/North Country Distribution = Cadnor), not to mention the magazine. Too bad the founder turned out to be such a sicko. Live in Europe is great, and Melvin Smith, the guitarist, is cool. He has a solo guitar LP that is pretty neat (albeit perhaps for completists only). https://www.discogs.com/release/4853227-Abdul-Malik-Muhammad-Songs-For-Our-Children?srsltid=AfmBOopaEVHsk64bQx5ZKoi1zhnfWjHCmOodca_Y1C7LBLEcF227BG6h

Forgot about YouTube - duh. I like the instrumental tracks. The vocal tracks are weird. The first sounds like a nod to Dylan, but the second is more a nod to Jim Pepper. The whole YouTube thing makes me wonder - do I still need to collect CDs? I have definitely been winding down as I approach retirement. Doing a lot more downloads. So I will skip this one but still looking at Live in Europe. Anything else on the Cadnor site worth picking up? You know my tastes

Bandcamp Friday coming up. I'll pre-order this then and a few other things off my wishlist.

👍

Such a perfect record.

Amazing news.
