1/4 of Otherdays bought two cool pedals in Gijón at Al's music factory. The Asturklon is a Klon copy made by Antonio Martos of Al's own original Klon bought in the 90s before all the hype. But with a switch to choose between silicon and germanium diodes.

Richie Unterberger's 'Do What You Fear The Most' biography suggests that the new Velvet Underground song, titled “I Don’t Care Much for the Things That You Do,” may date back to August 1967. www.pastemagazine.com/music/the-ve...

Julio Ramos (1973-2026). As my uncle, he was the first creative person I knew, someone who wrote stories and poems, painted, drew comics and recorded his own songs. He also introduced me to this Daniel Lanois song, one of our favourites. Endlessly grateful to him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoUr...

I found these CDs in a charity shop in Mechelen a few weeks ago. They introduced me to the work of Pt. Shivkumar Sharma, who plays the Santoor in an Indian style. Sounds like a mix between Indian classical music, Laaraji and Harold Budd. Highly recommended!

"I wanted to replace that 'Hendrix was an alien' narrative with an engineering-driven account that’s inspectable and reproducible—plots, models, and a signal chain from the guitar through the pedals that you can probe stage by stage." Jimi Hendrix Was a Systems Engineer:

Had tickets for the Wolfgang Muthspiel trio, but he was prevented from flying to Brussels by a snowstorm in Vienna. So his trio companions Scott Colley and Brian Blade stepped up and played a great mostly improvised duo concert!

Sorry to hear reports of the passing of audio engineer Richard Alderson. I interviewed him early in the newsletter's run about recording the Second Gaslight Tape and all the famous 1966 shows. You wouldn't know "Judas" without Alderson.

Fantastic concert at the Jazzstation (St Josse Ten-Noode, Brussels) by FUR trio. So many ideas, so beautifully executed. And ventilation was great, with low CO2 levels throughout.

Two great pedals by Comodoro (A Coruña) bought in Vigo (Rockbox). The Bass Rat is great for guitar as well, going from chimey overdrive to fuzz. Sabon, named about a local beach in an industrial suburb, can do amp-style tremolo and spring reverb, but also incredible shoegazey shimmery reverbs.
