😆 It could be a problem with the actual printing of the booklet, too

I'm listening to these guys for the first time in a LONG time. I forgot how great their song are. On one hand they're LA Punk 80s-90s, but on the other they're talented musicians with extremely well rehearsed vocal harmonies. On top of that, their singer, Greg Gaffin has a (copied from Wikipedia): "BA Biology, BS Geology and master's in Geology at UCLA. In 2003 he went on to earn his PhD in Zoology from Cornell University" Now playing:

We finally cut the cable (Xfinity) early this year and switched to YouTubeTV for a fraction of the cost. Not only that, they carry more channels that we actually watch than the cable company (who BTW kept raising prices and taking away channels). I actually think the picture is better, too.

I'm happy to have all these Pacific Jazz sides

Loud Family "Interbabe Concern"

Saw her about a year and a half ago at Big Ears. Really good show!

McLaughlin and Cobham afternoon jam on the terrace at Montreux Jazz 1978

Tyshawn is the BEST. I've been able to see him quite a few times in the last several years.

Nice photo! Perfect ... actually 👏 I think Beat is playing in San Jose or somewhere like that later this year. Probably won't make that show.

Watched this interview with the members of Beat - a band that's playing mid-80s King Crimson albums. With Belew and Levin (who were in that version of KC) plus Steve Vai and Danny Carey from the band, Tool. Very interesting conversation about the current band and also Belew/Levin's experiences in the original band with Fripp and Bruford. I need to listen to Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair

Just discovered this album (I know - I'm probably late to the party). What a trio - fantastic!

The recent Bobby Hutcherson Mosaic box is tremendous!

Pyroclastic released one track from this forthcoming album. Interesting combination of musicians and the track makes me want to hear more.

He started posting a lot on Substack recently. Mostly about albums he listened to each day. Kind of out of the blue, since he's been kind of 'invisible' for many years. https://substack.com/@martywillsonpiper

The Arkestra at Big Ears in March

He was just here in the Bay Area. I should have gone, but I have seen him quite a few times. He's always good.

Excellent new album, produced by Don Dixon (drawing of a young James by Ken Kesey)

Bees And Seas (The Best Of Slobberbone)

Oh - OK, I'll check it out! Not sure that after 40+ years it will "ring any bells", but worth watching anyway!

Thanks, David. That video says it's from 1985. The show I saw was 4/12/81.

Thanks for the suggestions. I figured there would be few options. I'll keep my eyes open and try to find a good donation source. Nauck's look intriguing, too

"Live" is pretty excellent, too. I was at the Great American Music Hall in SF for the April 12 show, too
