I had this go-to gesture back then of putting a peace sign over my heart that was meant to be friendly - I didn’t know back then that a backhanded peace sign was the British bird.
Good to know. I loves throwin' the deuces.

Chubby Wolf is in the 27 Club despite dying 23 days too soon. I found one interview with her lover and bandmate from Celer where he talks about her disease being related to mental disorders. Wiki and other sources list her cause of death as heart failure. My guess is it was heart failure brought on by heroin and likely intentional but I don’t know that for a fact.

Ornitheology

This is music specifically designed for people whose life opened up a certain way. Her death, the album cover, who can say why I’ve stopped to listen to it when it pops up on Spotify so many times. Chubby Wolf. There she is. Ambient that could almost be meaningless and unspectacular but instead there it is like a tiny thread in a giant void expressing your sorrow and your pain for you. Great art. And unlike other genres it’s so hard to understand why this soars or even maybe orbits is the word while similar attempts can barely swim. This is music that takes you by the hand and deserves to float or orbit in our descendants’ consciousness.

Originally released in 83 Vibrating Air is timeless unassailable and should be a well-known drone classic. It focuses relentlessly on singular tones with various swells of sound swirling in the mix. More stripped and less forgiving than Klaus Schulze this falls somewhere between KS and La Monte Young.

Absolutely a must listen for innerspaceboy.

Cool af unassailable electroacoustic music centered around the sounds of the sea and spoken word. Ros probably knows why I’m wrong but I hear Stockhausen all over this. This being a 21C piece however as expected it has more directional focus as is usually the case with rebuilding on what the giants so brilliantly deconstructed. This is a blast to listen to. I love when the sound of water is used effectively in music and this is right up there with the best of best.

This album is a forgotten gem of Pioneering free jazz improv punk rock fusion. Even though Greg Ginn is Greg Ginn I still think he’s a seriously underrated guitarist, especially by jazz fans. The instrumental tracks on the seemingly almost forgotten Black Flag’s Family Man attest to the brilliance of Ginn’s improv chops. Joe Baiza who more so than Greg Ginn bridges the gap between punk rock and free jazz is great. If you’re at all partial to this type of music his discography is essential. This is music that was highly influenced by Ornette and weed and probably most importantly 1980’s LSD. Somebody has to come to this record’s defense. It’s under appreciated because it doesn’t pay deference to punk or jazz. It’s irreverent music but the spirit and talent shine through. Some day this will be universally heralded as a cult classic masterpiece and you can tell all your friends you heard it here first.
