It’s a promo copy sent out in advance.

Out tomorrow: Holy Ghost Amazon link

So much love for that, one of the first jazz box sets I ever bought. My copy is beat to hell around the edges because I’ve carried it to work so often in a bag. Same with the Monk Blue Note set that came out around the same time. Right now:

Called it! Now can Houston become the first team to repeat as WS champions, a feat that hasn’t occurred in 22 years? Fire up that hot stove, friends, and settle in for winter.

Great set! Just hauled it out on Monday and played “Jack, You’re Dead” on my Halloween show. Right now:

Going to see the movie Friday night, actually, which is why I pulled the soundtrack off the shelf. A local pop-up arthouse film collective is showing it along with Lee Marvin’s Point Blank as part of a 60s noir series.

Up for a happy 96th!

Revisiting this because a local art cinema collective is screening the film this weekend. Nicely annotated by Doug Ramsey for the late-1990s Verve reissue.

Congratulations, Dan! Way to spread the word about Percy!

We re-aired Jazz Haunts For Halloween: Ghostly Songs And Mysterious Ends this past week, and it remains archived for online listening. Happy Halloween and all that jazz.

I watched the 2003 Glastonbury concert on YouTube the other night and was blown away by both how good he still sounded and how amazing it was to hear that album performed live. Right now:

It’s such a great collection—almost all of the good stuff from the first two albums and Forever Changes in its entirety, plus a nice selection of post-1968 material. Love’s a band that just sounds better and better to me as time goes on.

Looks like it’s the second track on the second disc of this new box set.

Really enjoying this previously-unreleased, stripped-down (demo?) version of "Got To Get You Into My Life." Still prefer the final horns-added mix, but hearing this makes me wonder why they didn't introduce it into their live 1966 sets (which included nothing from Revolver, ostensibly because it was impossible to replicate the music onstage).

No wonder it had that "vibe"! I read the original post too hurriedly and thought I was seeing a photo of a modern-day group attempting to emulate a late-1960s rock Americana look. Thanks for the clarification!

Having just watched Paul Thomas Anderson's Licorice PIzza last night, I'm feeling especially attuned to the early-70s aesthetic today. And that last picture looks right out of a photoshoot for the Band or end-of-60s Byrds... very Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Yep--may have already told the story here about my 13-year-old niece at a holiday gathering last winter, telling me how much she loves flip phones and CDs.
