Spent part of the day listening to Rodney Crowell’s “Shame on the Moon” over and over again. Sometimes I just get stuck on it.

The Seger version that was a monster hit somehow lacks the weird tension in Crowell’s own version though. Seger sounds resigned. Crowell sounds . . . I dunno maybe that’s why I keep listening.

Baltimore/DC: you MUST see Jordan Perry! As original a guitarist as he is nice of a guy.

In the late 60s, Doug McKechnie was among the first to experiment with the original Moog. He recorded with the Grateful Dead, crossed paths with Terry Riley, and even performed at Altamont. I had the honor of speaking with this unsung pioneer for Reverb: reverb.com/news/moogs-missin…

We’re catching up on the second night of Eurovision, and so far there are too many deadly earnest pop wannabes and not enough dudes dressed like Wario.

Happy @Bandcamp Friday. I’ve been talking up @SFSYNTH’s LPs lately, but I’m proud of all my babies. There’s also amazing music from Picks & Lighters, Susan Alcorn, and Phillip Greenlief on sale at vgplusrecords.com. (I’m sold out of @tarotplane_.)

Looking for the sublime, one record at a time.

Here’s something I found today that Mim wrote down not long ago. Maybe it’s notes from something she heard or read, but it’s the way she saw things, for sure.
