I saw some bluegrass band do a cover of You Got Lucky & it was really damn good.

that Khruangbin on sale for Boulder was weird…I seemingly had to grab the last balcony spot available, but then I refreshed afterwards & all of a sudden the GA floor tickets were available AND they were cheaper! 😖 So, now I have an extra single in the balcony to unload. 😕🤷‍♂️

My personal favorite tape of 71 + easily among the best of the electric era.

Ndugu wasn’t a great fit for this tour - Jarrett steamrolled him and he frequently missed Miles’ cues - but everything falls into place here for 90 glorious minutes. A magical gig.

Recorded this day, 1971: The Miles band's European tour arrives in Dietikon for two concerts. The late show finds the band completely transformed, hitting its stride magnificently. How this one was passed over for release is baffling- it's one of the great Miles shows!

Uncanny.
I will never for a moment wonder again how it could have happened. I see exactly how it happened. You just need one malignant narcissist and then a whole lot of ordinary, stupid people to give themselves over to either raw hate or determined indifference. It rides again.

It is, as they say, fire.
The fellow is a catastrophe. But that is no reason why we should not find him interesting, as a character and as an event. Consider the circumstances. Here is a man possessed of a bottomless resentment and a festering desire for revenge; a man ten times a failure, extremely lazy, incapable of steady work; a man who has spent long periods in institutions; a disappointed bohemian artist; a total good-for-nothing. And here is a people obsessed with powerful though far less justifiable feelings of defeat and inferiority, and unable to think of anything save how to retrieve its lost "honor." And then he— who had learned nothing, and in his dreamy, obstinate arrogance never would learn anything; who had neither technical nor physical discipline, could not sit a horse, or drive a car, or fly a plane, or do aught that men do, even to begetting a child—he develops the one thing needful to establish a connection between him and the people: a gift of oratory. It is oratory unspeakably inferior in kind, but magnetic in its effect on the masses: a weapon of definitely histrionic, even hysterical power, which he thrusts into the nation's wound and turns round. He rouses the populace with images of his own insulted grandeur, deafens it with promises, makes out of the people's sufferings a vehicle for his own greatness, his ascent to fantastic heights, to unlimited power, to incredible compensations and over-compensations. He rises to such a

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.
STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough. VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing. https://www.stereogum.com/2083804/icp-interview-juggalos/interviews/weve-got-a-file-on-you/

I’ve never seen this Ween interview before. It’s from thirty years ago, and just six months before Jerry passed. 😯

The Slammer. It’s the old jailhouse that’s a bar now. I play open mic there all the time.

I just walked by there about 1/2hr ago on my way to Deerhammer. Did you go through the back of the playground & visit the Slammer?
