Playing a drone in D Major from the Buchla Easel Command via a long 16s delay from the Boss-DD20 & then via the Microcosm. Small tweaks of timbre and tone slowly morph into each other to create this harmonic dronescape.

The color purple is historically associated with royalty & power because of several species of predatory sea snails in the family Muricidae.
Their mucus made kings look regal.
The Phoenicians built a vast trading empire around trade in snail mucus more precious than silver. Let's talk about it.

"Stop Making Sense" is an entertaining film about David Byrne and his antics with a very gifted band.
But it's far from the most interesting way to see what Talking Heads were capable of.
Rome in 1980 is where you see what Talking Heads were capable of.

Another belated chapter, but the latest Dubstack covers Terry Wogan's entry in the annals of reggae history, and I've done an unsanctioned dub mix of the Joya Landis record he played on Radio 1 back in 1968. Read/listen here rentparty.substack.com/p/chapter-39...
Chapter 39: Blankety Skank
In which I turn to the secret reggae history of Terry Wogan as an antidote to the rotten secrets unearthed in the Epstein files.
