This is the ultimate slow build jam. I remember having my mind blow first time hearing Prince cover Radiohead. Wonder what Thom Yorke’s reaction was to hearing it? From Coachella 2008 to #838 on the 885 Greatest Covers #XPNCountdown youtu.be/NFXZNt4oLkE?...

Saddened to learn of the passing of Badfinger’s Joey Molland over the weekend. A few years ago for fun I cut a synth (?!?) version of their power pop classic - posted it last night - thepeoplebetween.bandcamp.com/track/no-mat...

Sad news from MN today with my heart going out to all in the #millcitysound family. Mill City is my favorite record store and it starts with Rob Sheeley, his love for the music, people that worked and shopped there. He will be greatly missed and live in our hearts (and album collections) forever.

Thank you #DavidLynch - spending tonight Re-watching the Twin Peaks TV series for the first time in nearly 35 years and loving it as it comes flooding back into my brain, remembering how cool and trippy it was to see this on network TV in 1990.

I love a little FA Cup weirdness and always cheer for the David’s vs the Goliaths. www.nytimes.com/athletic/605... The worst nearly happened for Tottenham and Postecoglou… but it didn’t

There was very little Postecoglou could take from this FA Cup victory. Spurs got through it. And Mikey Moore returned.
