Vesuvius denialism getting its day - Big Lava doesn’t want you to know the truth!

@bourgwick.bsky.social all online sources for the “Ladies and Gentlemen... the Grateful Dead” release say it is drawn from shows on April 25-29, 1971 at the Fillmore East, but also all online sources say the Fillmore East closed on April 27th, 1971 and the Dead last played there in March!

Will freely admit the band name had me a little unsure what to expect but this is good! Kind of a Tall Dwarfs feel.

I generally regard Braxton as fairly cerebral - he really shreds on a lot of this.

Would have been great if I found about this when it came out, instead of 15 years later - at the 40+ mark, still fascinating.

Tempting to use some cliché like “this flew under the radar” - not even sure what radar we’d be talking about. Anyway it’s from 2021 and it’s good!

Finnish garage-rock trio with a “going straight on the mix-tape” stroke of genius. Pronouncing “cello” as “sello” compounds the whimsy: youtu.be/5_lHLVzU88I

The kitchen is getting the kind of cleaning it is lucky to get once a year. Thought I was being brave getting through a 4-CD ZZ Top comp in one go, but the 13-CD Ya Ho Wha box is what’s on as I finish the cabinets and brace for the floor - “Now Flexing”!

Listening to Zoot Horn Rollo’s 2001 “We Saw A Bozo Under The Sea.” Were I blindfolded and told it was a late 70s Allan Holdsworth record, I don’t think I’d have doubted.

William S. Fischer - “enigmatic” is easy to overuse but he’s been on 200 albums with no easy career summary. Lived in Europe for a year or so mid-60s but I’m not sure how this Basque folk song-inspired 1972 LP (with almost no credits) fits in. Library music vibe. Also NYC Public school teacher!

thesceneisnow.bandcamp.com/album/whirly... You can just click one button and listen to six excellent songs! Plus, they keep playing on your phone even if you pop over here to BlueSky. Vinyl coming sooner or later.

Kuupuu - Yökehrä (Dekorder, 2006) LP compilation drawn from some of Jonna Karanka’s many self-released CDrs - beautifully abstract home made electronic sound.

"Spider" John Koerner & Willie Murphy - Running, Jumping, Standing Still (Elektra, 1969) Elektra edging into the “anything goes” era on the strength of the Doors income. I’ve always thought of Koerner as sort of a midwestern Peter Stampfel - steeped in the folk revival but with a lot of twists.

Listening to Gary Peacock's "Tales of Another" - did anyone ever invite Keith Jarrett for a session and say "I love your playing but could you not do that weird singing along with your solos thing?"

Are you really playing bluegrass if you're doing "Way Downtown" and get to the "It was late last night when Willie came home \ I heard him a-rapping on the door" line and the bass player doesn't do three quick knocks on the body of the instrument?

Doing kind of a Tim Buckley “deep dive” (15 albums in 3 days, NBD) but a new takeaway - significant Richie Havens influence that I never thought of before. Also entirely 12-string on those “Live In London” recordings?

Have spent little time with Yule V.U. - has its moments but distractedly listening on headphones at the grocery checkout this evening, I had a moment of “wait, am I listening to Leon Russell?”

Always intrigued by bands whose members have no Discogs credits besides their sole LP, in this case Philadelphia's Thunder And Roses. The closing track on their 1969 LP "King Of The Black Sunrise" is top-notch Jimi worship.

James Moody killing it on flute: youtu.be/OTWjxy0n_is?...

1970 sessions not released until 1974 and then the late 90s CD added three tracks with mostly different personnel - Andrew White switches to oboe, Hubert Laws and Gary Bartz step in on flute and sax - overall brilliant, a bit orchestral at moments with all the winds.
