5 years gone. Peter’s music saved my life. I’m forever in his debt

Listen to this live performance and see why BB King once said, ‘He’s the only one that gave me the shivers’

I’m really glad to hear she’s still performing. I, like many of my age, came across her talents via ‘Sweet 75’. I bought the CD again recently and it still rocks.

I know it’s pie in the sky bullshit, but we could have had the best grunge mini-festival in 1991 with bands releasing records that year:

Tad - 8 Way Santa
Nirvana - Nevermind
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
Screaming Trees - Uncle Anesthesia
Mudhoney - EGBDF
Melvins - Bullhead

Have the best gig, Selena. I would have loved to have seen your band and Capping Day share a stage; alas, several thousand miles stops me! 😟

30 years of Fugazi’s ‘Red Medicine’

One of many leaps forward for the band, RM saw Fugazi turn down the volume and dial up the experimentation. Despite its challenging nature, it remains their most commercially successful release. A testament to the perfect execution of their vision.

Fellow Piscean here. I too get that creeping jaded feeling. But I’m romantically optimistic and it makes me want to double down on that outlook.

New EP of unreleased material from Seattle band Capping Day, ‘Who Does Anyway’

Harmonising vocals, askew sense of melody, dark & literary lyrics

It’s glorious
