Happy Arrival Day, Sun Ra!
Musician, poet, composer, bandleader, philosopher, Sun Ra arrived on planet Earth on this day in 1914. As Ra's "birthday" began to approach, it seemed to me that "arrival day" was a better description for when this amazing soul began his journey in this lifetime. That idea was affirmed when I came across this passage in…

All things Henry Rollins.
Couldn't find a thread on this rather worthy dude. This recent episode of his radio show with Ian Mackaye talking about Black Flag's 1981 UK tour is a great listen. https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/henry-rollins/kcrw-broadcast-ian-mackaye

Dunno if this site is well known yet or not, but a buddy of mine showed it to me. It is the be-all end-all for music knowledge. Just thought I would spread the word.

WALKING PAPERS
I went to see Walking Papers on Wednesday night in Grimsby UK - they played a little rock club called Yardbirds. They were amazing, Jeff Angell sounds better on stage than on the cd. They all played with such energy and very kindly stayed back for a chat with us and signed cds etc. I got Barrett Martin to sign me Mad…

What songs have you used at weddings, special events, etc.
At our wedding (almost 10 years ago), my wife walked down the aisle to "Maybe I'm Amazed" instrumental (P. McCartney). I walked down to "Handbags & Gladrags" instrumental (Rod Stewart). Our entrance song was Baba O'Reilly, and our first dance was "And I love Her" (Beatles).

Levellers
Oh, my very first post after years of passive reading... One of my favorite bands - LEVELLERS from Brighton, UK -
have just released their new album. Title: PEACE Perhaps interesting for PJ fans, as both bands are very
similar in terms of content, politics and attitude. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp6rfBLp-5w

Your top five (or ten) favorite music books.
Kind of an updated version of an earlier thread because times and tastes change. What are your all-time top 5 (or 10) favorite music books and/or biographies?

Bush and Gavin Rossdale's love of grunge
So it seems although Sixteen Stone is classic, Bush and Gavin are and always have been much misaligned and made fun of. I think part of that stems from the fact that whether its bore out or not, that they, Bush, were a 2nd rate grunge band, that they only became a band to capitalize on the grunge scene that was exploding.…

Knock-off vinyl LP labels you might want to avoid.
Last week, I did some research to root out as many records labels as possible that I want to avoid. With vinyl having become a still on-going fad (not to me- I buy vinyl because like getting as close to analog sound as possible), I came up with a list of labels that, to the best of my knowledge, are ones that produce vinyl…
