A merry Sun Ra's Birthday to all who celebrate. Space is the Place

This sounded good on the way back from the grocery, but also a bit too real. #mutants

I wanted to post the very Fall influenced "Bigot Sponger Haircut Policy" but it's not on YT. Take this as a consolation prize. #BeatnikFilmstars

For reasons of its own my back brain dredged this up from deep in the bowels of my teenage memories this morning and it's been haunting the inside of my skull. #lenelovich

It's Brian Eno's 78th Birthday Salutations to all who celebrate! #Eno

This is church. #Low

I needed this today. #low

They've put out a ton of albums since this, but I don't think they ever really topped this. #stereolab

Perhaps what you really need today is to see the Music Machine lip sync their way through "Talk Talk". (Sean Bonniwell is "playing" a Martin GT-75 which makes it even more special) You're welcome. #musicmachine

Veronica Falls are a band I go back to frequently and one badly in need of a box set and a (re)discovery by a larger audience. I found them by accident when I came across this cover of the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. #VeronicaFalls

This sounded kinda good this morning. #DannyPolo

There are just some songs you need to listen to more than once in a sitting. This is one of them.

On this day 127 years ago the Duke was born. Have an earworm. #DukeEllington

This came up in today's listening and if I'm going to have this stuck in my head for the next week I'm taking you along for the ride.

The Pink Floyd at the BBC 1967 - The Scarecrow youtu.be/QQ_JKcPdH6w ‘This alternate version of the Syd Barrett penned tune "The Scarecrow" was recorded at the BBC Playhouse Theatre on September 25, 1967. This recording was made for the BBC radio program "Top Gear"...’

The inside of my skull sounds like this #christmas

You pull your weight or die... I want a Christmas box set. #christmas

You didn't realize your day was lacking in jazz harp. Allow me to remedy that. #jackteagarden

The question as always remains. What exactly is the Rubicon that he has to pass before the spineless pedo protecting twats do something?

Take this with you. You may need it. #3ds

This song today. Well most days... "...And I hope whoever it is Holds their breath around you 'Cause I know I did..." #snailmail

Was reminded about this just now. A hell of a 1999 album by a short lived Minneapolis band, Grotto. This is one that needs (re)discovery.

R.I.P. Chip Taylor I will forgive "Angel of the Morning" because you wrote "Wild Thing" and this brilliant song.

Made a giant playlist of albums I listened to and lived with the most over the years. This morning it's Alice Cooper's sophomore effort "Easy Action". More focused than "Pretties for You" it's still weirder than anything else they did after. Here's a neat little pop song about heroin.

Tonight this hits hard. Back when I was first listening to it the Modern World wasn't actually so bad. Now it needs to get off my fucking lawn.

Someone tell me why... This should have been huge.

I look forward to a day when I can wake up and my first thought is to check the news to see if he's dead yet.

One of the best $20 I ever spent was in the mid-80s after someone discovered a NOS box of these singles in a warehouse.

Apropos of the day and one of my favorite fuzz sounds on record.

This whole record lives in my head

This came up on my way to grocery shop. Still one of my favorite double sided New England garage singles that I never found.

A theme song for the current worldwide state of affairs R.I.P. Phil Campbell. It was an honor, sir. #motorhead

"Your Future, Our Clutter" is my pick for the last truly great Fall album. It's back to back bangers for #FallFriday "One last cigarette's gonna do it..."

Del Shannon's 1968 pop psych lp "The Further Adventures of Charles Westover" has popped up more than once into my consciousness. It's really rather good.

Yesterday was Arthur Lee's birthday. Today, like most days, is a good day to listen to Love

A Happy Mark E. Smith's Birthday to all who celebrate. #FallFriday

If nothing else the cat has figured out that if she lies down beside me while I play Fallout she can get pets during loading screens.

This insidious 1981 earworm popped into my consciousness today. Today I also noticed that the band were playing Burns guitars from Jim Burns' final venture, Burns Acutalizers Guitars. That's a Scorpio Bass and a Magpie II guitar. I'll take one of each. #Burnsguitars

This sounded especially good today. I mean, it sounds good every day, but today especially so. Best song about a near car crash you'll hear today.

Nobody in the house is suitably impressed but today I upgraded the volume pot on the Vista Jagmaster and it not only works like it should, but the soldering is not a big mess. (I also swapped out the white witch hat knobs for black Jaguar skirted ones. Big improvement.)

It's National Guitar Day. Here's a family portrait.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche talking about yesterday's Epstein Files drop said that "anything that depicts or contain images of death, physical abuse or injury also not produced" Which means that there are pictures of death and torture in those files. Let that sink in.

A mag dump is an execution.

This. Today. This. #DukeElllington

It will never cease to astound me that the very same people who always warned against trusting the government and were always railing against it, stockpiling weapons, and preparing for it to send jack booted thugs against its own citizens are now the ones whose breath most reeks of boot polish.

She backed up, turned the wheel away from the perso blocking her and was driving away when she was shot multiple times point blank through the driver's side window. That's just murder.

Random play decided that this would be the first song I heard in 2026. What it portends I can't say, but it's from a really interesting disc...

A Happy Birthday to Mike Nesmith and Davy Jones wherever in the Aether they now reside. (sensitive viewers may want to close their eyes for a few seconds around the 1:50 mark)

I miss those long ago days when I didn't think about the President every day. And I especially miss that long lost time when for some reason I did think of them my only thought wasn't what a terrible POS they are.

It's that magical time of year when this work of absolute genius is relevant once again.
