Sorry to hear of the passing of Badfinger’s Joey Molland. Last surviving member of their classic lineup. Interviewed him in 2003. I remember shaking his hand and thinking “that hand played on Harrison’s All Things Must Pass”

Gary Wright had this early 80s hit nobody remembers called “Really Want to Know You,” and it’s that same analog spaciness of “Love is Alive” but still not quite smooshed by CD-era production polish

“Walking in Rhythm” is such a dynamite fucking single by the Blackbyrds. It’s a 1974 moment that presages late 70s disco and yacht rock but doesn’t really get the credit

I saw Adam Franklin of Swervedriver long before I knew anything about shoegaze outside of MBV, he opened for The Church in 2009. Marty Willson-Piper was still in The Church, that ship sailed shortly thereafter

Soft Machine co-founder Mike Ratledge has passed away today. He had such a distinctive and inventive voice as a soloist. I count myself lucky to have seen him play several times. A brilliant composer, he was also cool as fuck.

As a neurodivergent person, I have never once felt the need to give the nazi salute. Let’s call Elon what he is, a nazi.

I am all too entrenched on IG and haven’t decided if dumping it is The Move, but I started a Pixelfed account just incase. Probably won’t be all that active to start but same username if you’re so inclined
