Featuring members of Fugazi

I'm sure that's interesting. In the 70s, RE-Search was a very hip, edgy SF magazine.

Finally got past the smoke week from hell. AQI <10 all day today which is about as low as it will ever get.

New album from Lydia coming out next week.

Today it looked better than it was. The AQI was about 150-160, which is moderately bad. We need to cut that by 1/3 at least!

Yes. Ironic for sure. I'd take the orange sky over the toxic air we have now. I hope it blows away soon! Pic from Wednesday around 10am

One of my favorite bands. They streamed a live show from the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto last night. Made me happy.

I streamed 3 tracks that were available and was disappointed. She's a great drummer, but the tunes sounded like generic fusion (w/vocals), even the one with Carlos on guitar.

Should be pretty interesting!

Sadly, that's all very true. So many obstacles to getting live music back.

Got that email yesterday. Had no idea it was being released. I have an ancient bootleg on yellow vinyl of mediocre quality (as most were in the early 70s) that I haven't listened to in decades. A lot of jamming, IIRC. The only footage I've seen was tacked on to the end of the Rainbow Bridge film. At $30 this was a no-brainer to pre-order. Looking forward to it!

Out today. Could be interesting. Willner's last project.

Small venues of all types are in real danger. They're obviously going to be the LAST places to be allowed to open. Issues with close crowds, questionable ventilation, thorough dish cleaning and bar hygiene - plus how do you isolate singers, especially in a rock venue. It's going to be VERY complicated until there is a trusted vaccine.

I thought about getting this. I liked that era of FM and saw them a couple of times with Welch. But when I thought about it, I probably wouldn't listen to these albums more than a couple of times now. Would really like to hear the live disk, though.

Live At The Fillmore East

A 2009 album led by Bernard Sumner of New Order. Sounds like a more commersh version of that band. Some good pop tunes.

Alright! I'll start with disk 2.

I have that, but never got around to listening to it much. Maybe this weekend.

Here's a FB post from 6 hours ago by Annette: "Now it appears the reports on Gary's death are a hoax, which indeed would be good news!"
