I hope that when I die that people realize that I'm dead
'cause it's a damn long haul of convincing when you're alive.

I say "screw it" and I'm gonna celebrate Newk's 90th birthday today.
He's still around, I know!

I was going to listen to Columbia’s WKCR's birthday broadcast but the station is running archives instead because of Covid.

It really shows a cultural difference that Columbia is closed and down here we currently have a much higher per capita infection rate and they’re playing high school football with fans in the stadiums.

Did they give up on this year's fund drive?
I know Phil Schaap has been in poor health recently.

Idk

The website has info how to donate. Re: Phil Schaap, on one of Coltrane’s birthday broadcasts he was talking, lecturing I should probably say to be correctly respectful, about the importance of familiarizing oneself with Coltrane’s early material. I know it probably sounds really melodramatic but I felt profoundly moved by what he was saying. It helped me put Coltrane’s entire career into a singular perspective.

RIP Venture Bros

Though it may be resurrected somewhere else, they had already started working on a new season.

RIP, it's insane how ahead of his time he was.

I saw him doing a solo Silver Apples tour when he was promoting Clinging to a Dream. He had a stage full of electronics and a laptop (see below), he put a lot more energy into his performance than I expected.



As he was performing You & I for the closer, he started stuttering, took a step back and fainted. It looked like he fell right on his head. The room slowed and after a minute, they turned down the speakers (the equipment was still rolling) and turned on the lights. Staff came onstage to help him and people started leaving. Some of us were shocked as **** and stayed. After a couple of minutes of coming to and drinking some water, he got up as the staff and his wife (I think) led him offstage. He refused and went back up to finish the show like a boss.

A couple of faves:
