The show got canceled anyway because bands were taking too long to respond

“Hey sorry to keep yall hanging for nothing, but we're not able to make the gig

Thanks again for inviting us on though”

Now I’m listening to Unwound’s glorious final album “Leaves Turn Inside You,” because it has been a while, and I admittedly don’t jam this album as much as I should

Because tomorrow’s a teacher workday, my sons are having a long weekend with me, and you already know how we’re kicking it off A TURNTABLE PARTY Tonight’s will begin with Prince’s “👁️ Wish U Heaven” single, which I can’t believe I found for five bucks in solid condition

Now I’m listening to Blonde Redhead’s “La Mia Vita Violenta” I’ve grown to appreciate their later work, but I still liked them most when they sounded like Sonic Youth 🤣

Now I’m listening to Boards of Canada’s “Tomorrow’s Harvest,” which in retrospect feels like the perfect bridge between “Geogaddi” and “Inferno” (my overall faves of theirs)

Now I’m listening to “Scis,” a recent album by Oval, one of my favorite electronic musicians This is A LOT more beat-driven than his 1990s work, and I’m here for it!

I’ve got time for one more album before my sons’ bedtime routine begins, so I’ve chosen Pere Ubu’s “Cloudland” I know this was supposed to be their “pop” album, but uhhh Pere Ubu’s idea of pop is still some pretty weird shit This one and “Dub Housing” are tied as my favorites

Now I’m listening to Daniel Johnston’s “Fun,” an album I loved when I was 13 years old, but have conflicted feelings about now that I know as much about his life and career as I do I can’t believe a major label ever thought this was gonna be any kinda hit 🤣

@solomonrmissouri.com’s recent thread about Prince and Patrice Rushen motivated me to put on “Straight from the Heart,” arguably her most popular album My younger son started dancing not even a minute into “Forget Me Nots”

My sons don’t feel well enough to run the streets but, somehow, they feel well enough to (playfully) wrestle each other in their bedroom, so it’s TURNTABLE PARTY time Tonight’s will begin w/ Sunny Day Real Estate’s 2nd album, which is my favorite of theirs depending on what day you ask me about it

I took a brief break to sleep off a tension headache, but I’m back at it now, this time with something comparatively mellower: Kali Malone’s “Does Spring Hide Its Joy,” a drone composition for guitar, cello, and sine waves

I’ve got a few last-minute cancelations to deal with (surprise!) so I’m starting tonight’s TURNTABLE PARTY earlier than usual I’m starting it with Prince’s “Planet Earth,” one of the few albums of his on which the religious/political songs are better than the erotic ones (IMO)

Now I’m listening to the Lees of Memory’s “Moon Shot” Superdrag fans may know that this is another of John Davis’ bands I’ve always like Superdrag most when they lean closer to space-rock than power-pop; the Lees of Memory does more of that, IMO

After a long and chaotic (though not necessarily bad) Monday, I’m decompressing with a solo TURNTABLE PARTY Tonight’s begins with His Name Is Alive’s “Mouth by Mouth,” which I can only describe as “what if Cocteau Twins got REALLY into dub”

We’ve got time for one more album before I have to begin the boys’ bedtime routine, so we’ll probably get through about a third of Cecil Taylor’s “One Too Many Salty Swift and Not Goodbye” 🤣

It’s a rainy evening, and it seems like my sons are taking turns getting sick, so we’re staying indoors tonight and having a TURNTABLE PARTY We’re kicking tonight’s off with Shabazz Palaces’ “The Don of Diamond Dreams,” which immediately motivated my sons to get out their journals and start drawing

Now I’m listening to Todd Rundgren’s “A Cappella,” an album I avoided for a while because it reminded me of someone who ghosted me I’m over it, though, and this album still rules so I’m jamming pretty hard right now
