Could this version of Amelia be Joni’s best 70s era performance?

I have to comment on the VW ads featuring Elaine Stritch singing “Are You Having Any Fun?” that I’ve been seeing on almost every ad break on every streaming app. I’m a little conflicted because on one hand I love Elaine Stritch and it’s a fun song, but it does seem slightly unwoke. Still great!

RIP Bill Fay. Love this tune.

This is sooo good

This is like some dudes pounding on your door at 3am saying “we wanna give you a new tv and microwave and fridge, let us in”

As those who know me are well-aware, I’m a Beefheart freak and so I was beyond delighted to get the opportunity to sing “Sugar ‘n Spikes” off Trout Mask Replica (apparently David Lynch’s favorite album) with The Jonnie Moondogz Collective a couple months ago. Here’s the result!

Show alert! Psychic Lines is returning to the Young Ethel’s stage on Sunday, January 26 at 3PM opening for the formidable Les Sans Culottes!

A few people have told me that Dylan’s rendition of It’s All Over Now from Dont Look Back is a slight against Donovan. I keep pointing out that Donovan requested that Dylan play that song. Here’s the proof.

Why is it that no matter how many takes I do, I’m still barely able to stitch together a passable comp?

This episode of Midnight Special is pretty cute. There’s a section in the middle where Al is picking flowers and talking about his early days.
