Mills Randollo - Road Songs

Samara Joy tickets are going for a bit pricey for the Majestic show...

Have fun with that!

Forgot to mention that Bandcamp generally offers WAV file for the same price as anything else. So if you got the hard drive space (and you really should, everybody should these days) , hey...some artists on Bandcamp aren't even offering CDs these days. Mostly young composers in the classical/classical-adjacent world, but a trend's a trend.

What, you don't like opium with your Seconal? 🤩🤩🤩🤩👁️‍🗨️

Trying to keep my buttons away from the button pushers. Some days are better than others, but it's worth the effort anyway.

I have the book on tap to get to here shortly. Looking forward to it!

It will always happen. No way to stop it. So why expend energy on it? Button pushing or buttons pushed?

Deep masters of the dirge

Directdtep and Flood are excellent Headhunters-band albums and Dedication has "Nobu", which was WAAAAAY ahead of its time:

Herbie was making good-selling poppies records then. Columbia had no interest in a solo piano record. They got Sunlight instead.

That's enough! But it's worth doing a deep dive just to be sure

Great! There's a lot of good music there! Does anybody keep in touch with Jeff Crompton? IIRC, he was the first centralized administrator. He might have kept the ones he got?

If any record deserves the vault excavation treatment to bring out alternate takes, it's this one. What I've heard has been levitational.

"Flute" is a thing that is so ancient and universal that using it to tap into SOME kind of "vibe" shouldn't be too difficult with a little bit of purpose. Keyboard in general, and piano specifically...not so much.

Quite. But he owned it.

Not sure the musical number was called for, but otherwise, yeah

On many Best-Of lists!
