Yessum

Say what you will, but ‘90’s Dead was my Dead. Now, 4 of the 6 members I saw (Jerry, Bob, Phil, and Vince) are gone.

I got caught up in the Deadhead thing a bit in the 70s. Saw them several times, but started losing interest later in the decade.

A bird in one hand and bird shit in the other? Birds are sneaky that way...

Listen here.

A Teenage Suicide Note To God

Dusty Groove is currently offering a Japanese pressing of the vinyl It's About Time for $35. I don't know if that's a good price or not.

Perhaps the best best-of by any 1980s indie band.

I don’t like those trades either, but I’ll save the profanity for someone who truly deserves it 🎺 Say Dan, what do you have there, and why do you have it on one hand and then the other?

More like, one the one hand and on the other.

A good one and my favorite of their collaborations (all of which I enjoy).

Palm Royale - season 2 (Apple+)

Imagine the (justifiably) insane prices they could get for a vinyl reissue program that replicated the original packaging!!!

Volume 4

yeah, that Don Ayler is one I'd like to hear as well (if it survived).

So Hat Hut is no longer Werner. That's news indeed. I reached out to Melanie Imhof (the new owner of Hat), and she promptly wrote me back. It sounds like she and her husband (co-owner) are figuring out how they're going to move forward with the catalogue they've inherited. My impression was that they're going to focus on new recordings for the immediate future, and address their back catalogue after they've come up with a reissue plan. In the meantime, it looks like Werner—via AlAy—is going to issue Ayler concerts on compact disc. It'd be cool if he could find/issue the Don Ayler session made for Amiri Baraka's Jihad label: Donald Ayler (t), Noah Howard (as), Don Pullen (p), Reggie Workman, Sirone (b), Muhammad Ali (d) [unknown titles] • New Jersey, March [1968 or 1969]

Mixes emotions much? 🧲
