My introduction to Pere Ubu - admittedly later in life than it should have been - was this absolutely glorious piece of musical history hosted by the late David Sanborn. RIP David Thomas youtu.be/Mn-rwQgk6vE

I love this program and use it to produce my weekly radio show. The fact that something like this is “free and open” is nuts.

"Allen later founded World Domination Recordings and performed with the label’s bands Elastic Purejoy and Low Pop Suicide, and later with the groups King Swamp and Faux Hoax; he also worked with a reformed Gang of Four in the ‘00s." Gang of Four Co-Founder Dave Allen Dies at 69:

Happy 97th birthday to one of my personal favorites Tom Lehrer #music #musicsky

New — ICE will release the mother and children they shackled and unlawfully abducted from Sackets Harbor, NY in late March after relentless pressure from the town. I write how the incredible outcome of this horrifying story should give fuel us to fight back: www.thehandbasket.co/p/sackets-ha...

His drumming on Blondie’s song Dreaming is arguably one of the greatest drumming parts of all time - right up there with Mitch Mitchell’s work on Are You Experienced. RIP…
