Wow. That's sad.

He's still sounding great. Happy Birthday!

All of his music is pretty bluesy, really. But I haven't listened to the Venus albums.

From the same session as "Black Gypsy" but originally issued on the LP "Ptichin' Can."

That Mor Thiam record is excellent.

Yeah, I only have the LP version. I was listening on headphones through a preamp but damn, sounded extraordinary.

yeah, great record!

wow, sad news.

Agreed. You feel like you're actually in the room. It's wild.

yeah, got the Pauer -- great -- but not the Pony. Will have to seek this music out.

Phil Diaz is listed as the vibraphonist on Mucho, Mucho (according to the back cover). Can't speak for Scottie Plays the Duke, however.

yeah, surely the signs were there but it's hard to see when in the middle of things, even from the outside. I suppose it wasn't an autoerotic mistake? Anyway, this is an excellent primer and eulogy: http://pitchfork.com/features/afterword/10080-why-soundgardens-chris-cornell-was-more-than-just-a-grunge-frontman/

Never bothered w/ Audioslave myself -- guess Cornell committed suicide and that is especially sad.

This exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum looks cool -- hope to get over there soon: https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/we_wanted_a_revolution and a +1 for the NYC Jazz Record, which has been keeping my words in print for some reason or another for quite a few years now...

Sad news -- early Soundgarden was pretty tight and he was a hell of a vocalist. RIP. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/18/arts/music/chris-cornell-dead-soundgarden.html

yeah, I think I've had a couple ORTF-stamped records like that. I've definitely had deletion punches through the label/record as well. Probably a very quick and direct process!

He does look like a kid there, and a bit like a member of Big Star or The Replacements!

It's a great set. The music is sublime.
