#MusicSky #NowPlaying It's a helluva collection from a very cool #Nigerian band, released on #SoundwayRecords. Dependable label, and a great collection. #AfricanMusic

Why weren't #TheBooRadleys bigger? Such a great band! Now listening to their final album:

#MusicThreads #Trio really deserved to be more than just a (barely) one-hit wonder with "Da Da Da." This whole collection is full of bangers.

#MusicSky This song. A ballad that is about the closest thing to an anthem that I've written. "Written under the influence of @themagfields.bsky.social recorded under the influence of #therollingstones #songwriting #indierock hoponpop.bandcamp.com/track/we-mad...

#MusicSky #AnalogAfrica rarely fails me when it comes to great #AfricanMusic comps. This one is typically outstanding! #SomalianMusic

#MusicSky Posting this because I feel like it needs to be shared for anybody who is a fan of #LouReed, #BobDylan, or any other street poet. I think #PeterLaughner is right up there with the best of them.

#MusicSky #IndieRock Back in the day, the first 3 #Wipers albums were released and sold directly from the band's website as a 3-disc box set (with a plethora of bonus tracks). And it was only $10 or so, plus shipping! Best deal in the history of the internet. This one is my favorite.

#MusicSky Inspired by a DM conversation I had on here, I had to put this brilliant record on. One of the greatest songwriters of the rock era. Sadly and undeservedly overlooked by most, despite his massive hits with The Byrds. I love me some #GeneClark.

#MusicSky #Jazz #JohnColtrane Words cannot describe A Love Supreme. It is its own message, in its own language. And it is transcendent. Must be experienced on its own terms. And if you get it, you get it with your whole being. If you do not, that is okay, too.

#MusicSky #Music While Nate Reuss found stardom with his next band, fun., The Format's 'Dog Problems' is still his masterpiece. Not a single wasted note on there.

#MusicSky #NowSpinning Their final album was unreleased until about a decade ago when Ian Gomm thankfully made it available. Great record. Includes the original version of "Cruel to be Kind."

Tomorrow, I'll be appearing live on The Razor and Die Show for the first time in a long time! Tune in to WLUW-FM 88.7 (in Chicago) or stream at wluw.org from 4-6pm to hear the conversation and me playing a few tunes.

The genius that was #PeterLaughner needs to be recognized. If he was not quite the equal of, he was certainly on the same level as #BobDylan or #LouReed, lyrically. And, as a guitar player, far superior to either. An unreal talent, gone long before he should have been.

The incredible music Harry left us with was such a gift. And yet, it's hard not to think about how much more he may have had in him were it not for the substances. Addiction is a bitch of a disease.
