RIP Mark Volman, founding member of The Turtles and one half of Flo & Eddie (pictured here - Mark is on the left, Howard Kaylan on the right). I was fortunate enough to do some of my very first live performances as an opening act for Flo & Eddie in 1983 at the Bottom Line in NYC.

Al, wearing an accordion, poses backstage with Flo & Eddie, who are blowing party horns.

Wire: I Should Have Known Better (1979)

I just adore the haunting, minimalist atmosphere of this track. Postpunk hall of fame stuff.

Sad to hear Alfred Hilsberg has died. He was a great record label Whats So Funny About? Put out the Gun Club and Jeffrey Lee Pierce Lp's in Germany/Europe . We were lucky to have him on our side . R.I.P. Alfred

I know the first 3 of that list, didn't know about the later ones. So new things to look for here too 👍

I have five albums of Paul Burch and Blue Notes is my favorite. If it's "PB & the WPA Ballclub" it's (mostly?) with Paul Niehaus in Steel Guitar so a good reason to try these.

Great to see this Paul Burch record mentioned! I love the first song "Willpower", put it on a lot of mixtapes for a couple of years.
