Bad take on Sco. So he uses a chorus pedal. He's a terrific player. I don't care for the chorus that much but it doesn't mar my appreciation for his work.

RIP.

Just awful. RIP, sir.

Starebaby night one is a must for my crew. But as always, TOUGH decisions.

Ain't it true? My friends and I have taken to calling it FOMO Fest.

Just signing on to agree how demoralizing it is to still be having some version of this conversation after nearly two freaking years. As I tell my students on the first day of the semester (in a purple state, at a university with no vax mandate), you have approximately 12 mandatory vaccines in your body right now just to attend this school, and you're gonna raise questions about the efficacy of science mid-stream? Social media and lying politicians are doing a fine job at undermining trust in everything.

Devastated. The funkiest critic ever, and a major source of inspiration. Rest easy, sir, and thanks.

Damn. RIP, sir.

Great topic! I'd add: Silke Eberhard Liz Albee Jen Shyu

Amazing! Looks like those of us who missed out on the Blue Notes box in 2008 can now score the individual albums.

Same with my wife. She even had some taste and breathing issues. We're quarantining. I'm pretty positive I brought it home from campus last week, since my wife basically doesn't go anywhere (immunocompromised). Thankfully she's feeling okay today.

So sorry for your loss, Larry. It's the worst.

RIP.

Very sad news. Got to know him a bit over the years too, though not nearly to Cliff's extent, and always really dug our interactions. Not to mention his terrific music. Rest easy, sir.

Hoping for the best of all outcomes, John.

RIP.

RIP.

I saw FZ in Cleveland on this tour and I'm pretty sure he didn't play a note of guitar all night. Was an amazing gig though.

We're making good progress nationally in general, but there is disparity among the states. Also, we're dealing with a robust population of deniers and skeptics, so that's also a factor.

Our library has the same dates as Dub Modal's, alas. I wonder if that reflects a gap in what the PC has made available. Perhaps there was even a fire or something similar at some point? Sorry, Dan.

I love the MOI stuff for sure, and have a soft spot for Flo and Eddie ("Billy the Mountain"!). But for me the greatest FZ band is the Roxy band.

Damn, RIP.

Same, Cliff. I'm gonna pick up some stuff this evening, maybe fill in some holes in 1970s FMP, some recent Room40, a few metal records.

I live in the kingdom of vinegar-based 'cue and I have seen the light. Also, Wickles Pickles makes for a delicious garnish.

RIP.
