Blah blah blah
No blah blah blah blog for ya. Will let you know if something comes up that don’t fit into the other crannies here. Only thing to educate you on is that, if you don’t know already, in order to download any audio (instead of just streaming), just right click the “Download” button or anywhere on the subsequent Download page or player, and “save/ save as/ save page as”. And then you’ll have yourself a charming souvenir of this whole venture!
Happy Goddarned XMas, then!
Happy/ Merry, Team! It must be a good sign that I found the time to re-post my seasonal hits, right? Well, here they are in all their ancient, weirdly mixed and overstuffed glory. Are all begging for quality re-recording? Sure, but such are the fruits of my earlier and less well-formed musical efforts. Enjoy every…
“He’d Be a Diamond” b/w “Lights Are Changing” (The Bevis Frond)
Boy do I not know much about the Bevis Frond: English band; going for bout 30 years; run and sometimes solely consisting of Nick Saloman (who seems like an affable, shambling dude); sort of in a fuzzy, psychedelic Dino Jr vein.

Son Volt covers: “Straightaways” here we come
I love the first Son Volt record but something about the 1997 follow-up, “Straightaways” connected with me even more. It was anticipated in our (very) little circle for so long, with a live “Cemetery Savior” here and “Caryatid Easy” there. And it landed with me just a tad brighter and varied and a bit out…
