me too, bought that on your recommendation, Larry.

lol at "grunge Monkees.' Albini with the wit.

killer album.

I watched that show in syndication religiously as a kid. Had a couple of their albums as well. Peter seemed cool. RIP. I love that part of Head that's basically Brian Auger, Julie Driscoll & The Trinity going off like Septober Energy. Bananas.

First couple-few Green On Red albums are swell. I tried with the Long Ryders but felt that a good band was marred by overstuffed production and slickness.

nice! I would see a Dream Syndicate/Eleventh Dream Day bill in a heartbeat.

AFAIK Eleventh Dream Day is a Chicago outfit. Caught them at SXSW for that show, quite fun. McNew was subbing for Doug McCombs.

bought a mono copy for fairly cheap years ago; little groove wear on the end of side two (last cut) but most of the record is unharmed. Fine date though I guess my fascination with Hill heads in other directions.

Yeah, he's fantastic, and for the vinyl hunters out there, his records are often overlooked and cheap. In addition to the Bee Hive dates, titles on Interplay and Sea Breeze are excellent. That private press date on Priam is cool too.

The Dyani LP is killer. The Franco D'Andrea LPs with Helias and Altschul are great too.

if you are using google chrome, you can open the article in a new "incognito" window and read freely. great piece.

is there an LP of that? sick.

"The Rain" is a killer cut. It will be a nice set. Got everything but the Ilori on LP.

single LP reissues are forthcoming as well, for those who missed the boxed set.

I remember Margulis from Cook's book.

I got into them in a big way about 15 years ago, still like them quite a bit though often I wish George Harrison was the guitarist instead.

Amazing life. RIP.

Oh sure, I know what you're saying. But given the history post-57 it's pretty fun to see.

Porter was going to do it but that label is no more; haven't heard anything since. It's a shame and a bit of a shock that that music hasn't made it to CD. Hold tight on the prospect of a Braufman CD. It may be happening.

NoBusiness have a program going that will see a lot more nice stuff issued over the next few years. Hope people continue to buy it. There's a sweet Frank Lowe 2LP on Triple Point that is well worth hearing, although it is expensive. Alan Braufman's "Valley of Search" was recently reissued and is a fabulous listen. All of the above are legit reissues/first issues, too, which helps.

Wild, even if it was just a gig.

She was calmly cuddled and enjoying the sound of my voice.

I read poems about cats to Noodles sometimes; this was last night's choice: https://verseando.com/lawrence-ferlinghetti-the-cat/

our Noodles is an indoor cat, about 4 years old, and the love of my life. Though I'd had roommates with cats before and a girlfriend long ago who had a pair, as an adult I hadn't had a pet until a couple years ago when we got her from a shelter. She's changed my life in every way. and she's a sweetheart of sweethearts.
