🎷RIP to the No wave sax maniac James Chance, seen here performing live in the epochal NYC post-punk film <<Downtown 81>> starring Jean-Michel Basquiat

rec of the day: MATTHEW (DOC) DUNN "fantastic light" (cosmic range LP) great new album from this canadian form-maestro. flashes of everything from michael brown's baroque pop to the sweet excess of gene clark's "no other." a stunner. cosmicrangerecords.bandcamp.com/album/fantasti…

RIP DONALD SUTHERLAND -- so many great goddamn roles, but i always especially dug his work with FTA youtube.com/watch?v=4HlkgP…

rec of the day: THE SHEAVES "a salve for institution" (dot dash/sdz LP) wonderful 2nd LP by this phoenix az gang. i keep finding skin-scrapes of "european son" in their sonic matrix & it makes me wonder why no one else plays ostrich guitar anymore. wtff? sheaves.bandcamp.com/album/a-salve-…

RIP MARTIN MULL. great comedian, actor, painter and singer. provided more yucks for me in the '70s than most anyone. youtube.com/watch?v=JuaGK2…

rec of the day: SACCATA QUARTET "septemdecim" (we jazz LP) 17 year old session finally released. their live set at solid sound yesterday was a fantastic wall of squall -- cline, corsano, ketch, gray -- peak form blow-out. wejazzrecords.bandcamp.com/album/septende…

rec of the day: GOLDBLUM "tears in limbo" (bergpolder LP) finally vinyl on the digital only-2020 album by this swank dutch duo. collage-based avant "rock" with elements of both red brut & lewsberg (from whence they hail). a mad and beautiful sonic swirl. goldblumsounds.bandcamp.com/album/tears-in…

available now from 12XU mail order 12XU.bigcartel.com

rec of the day: IAN ST GEORGE "emergency index" (dead bell LP) solid ear-worm festival by former arcadian. slabs of dino, sy & gbv, tossed w/ thug-pop charm & packed inside art referencing an obscure sonic boom rec, topped w/ an actual gbv cover. classy! ianstgeorge.bandcamp.com/album/emergenc…

rec of the day: KENJI KARIU "rain/water" (bruit direct LP) a soft & strange album of pop that is lightly but thoroughly twisted. like tori kudo or brazil's masters of early '70s freakery, this has a sophisto surface & a bizarre underbelly. sweet stuff. bruitdirectdisques.bandcamp.com/album/kenji-ka…

RIP JOHN THOMPSON AKA JOHNNY DROMETTE will very much miss a super interesting & weird guy, whose store, label, and work with ubu, devo, pagans & many more did a whole hell of a lot to put ohio's sub-underground on the map.

rec of the day: WORKERS COMP s/t (ever/never LP) comp of singles & tapes from this maryland trio whose weird repro-country approach recalls both the gibson bros & some of john hovorka's work. this here album's as homey and solid as a barrel of crackers. evernever-records.bandcamp.com/album/workers-…

bummer of a month RIP SHELLEY DUVALL. there will never be another like her youtube.com/watch?v=I0l9LS…

rec of the day: SANDY BULL "still valentines day 1969" (no quarter 2LP) vinylization of this cool set recorded by this troubled string maestro during the long gap between his third and fourth LPs. messy and great. sandybull.bandcamp.com/album/still-va…
