Orcutt Shelley Miller add one more legendary name to the fold, paring up with The Jesus Lizard’s David Yow for a cover of the Beefheart classic “Hot Head.” As broiled & barbed as one might expect, a fastball of hot wax and thumbtacks that comes at the listener from all directions. bit.ly/4sBthRQ

Very sad that my alma mater is closing. Bad tidings for higher ed, liberal arts & free thinking. It was the only college that accepted me, a troubled student with promise, which they recognized & nurtured. My DIV III was on Sun Ra, Debussy, & exotica, the first stirrings of my dissertation & book.

My sense is that, in addition to genre, the series has moved away from showcasing relatively unknown artists to very well known, I think to its detriment

Thanks, Heathen Disco! "She carves a sizable swath of song out of an instrument that sounds as if it's 16 feet long, weighs 300 pounds,... and requires the blade of a hatchet for a pick. ...The bicoastal bliss of somebody who's seen something instills this whole record with a peaceful confidence."
