I believe @tylerwilcox.bsky.social owns a coveted copy. Perhaps he can set up a small-scale loan program.

Digging the new Anthology 4 set but they really should’ve tucked these rarities into the original 3 volume sets and released them as “deluxe” editions.

The chronological running order is what makes the series so enjoyable - this new volume feels carelessly tacked on. 🍏

Mellowship of the Rig

The $11.5K asking price is wild (these originally sold for $5200) but I NEED to meet this fellow local Mellotron enthusiast.

Mellotron MK VI - musical instruments - by owner - sale - craigslist Mellotron MK VI in black for sale. It includes 5 tape frames (3 sounds per frame), 4 tape travel cases, Mellotron road case and a copy of the Mellotron book. Condition of everything is very good/...

Shocked to see a mint Mellotron mk VI for sale in Boulder! Only 102 of these were produced in 1999 in white, black and mahogany, all based on the specs of the classic 400 model.

I might need to drop by and kick the tires.

Miles in ‘65: The Journey to the Plugged Nickel

aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/11/18/m...

En route to a two-week run at Chicago’s Plugged Nickel: “What if we made anti-music?” The results, documented on the newly reissued Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel, changed the landscape of modern jazz.

He’ll be selling t-shirts with this phrase by Wednesday.

As ahead of its time this LP was in 71, Miles had just about exhausted this phase by the time of its release and was in the studio recording On the Corner within about 4 months!

The speed with which he evolved in this era is astonishing.

Props to @modernnature.bsky.social for this lean and lovely take on my personal favorite Fabs cut. Team George forever.

That’s a pretty solid first take!

So worth your time! I can’t hang with a lot of his stuff, but this sort of heady Frippness is the sweet spot for me.

Recently familiarized myself with Fripp’s God Save the Queen/Under Heavy Manners LP and it’s incredible.

Full-band jams over Frippertronics loops w/a David Byrne vocal cameo. The missing piece of the Remain in Light + Bush of Ghosts trilogy.

5.2.1973 Los Angeles Before wrapping the Spring ’73 tour and trimming his 10-piece working group to a tidy septet, Miles brought his ensemble to Los Angeles for a pair of compulsory industry gigs – a brief …

Yep, this is from 5.2.73 in LA. You’ll find a couple additional photos and an audio clip here.

The 1943-D steel penny with a circulation of 217.7 million. An American classic

Farewell to the penny, a currency too woke for our stupid world.

The 1943 steel variant will always be my favorite.

Amor Towles blurbed this shit? Yeesh

Hearty salute to grandpa Herb. Flew refuelers in Korea and claimed he never saw evidence of UFOs while stationed at Area 51. #veteransday

I’ve been in a band with this guy for 3 years and still have no idea what most of these are or what they do

Miles forcing Cosey to play drums on this live version will always crack me up. “You sure about this, boss?”

Yeah I’ll never understand why mega bands of that era didn’t even take the time to record a simple stereo board feed.

The greatest Floyd boot you’ll hear, captured by the final boss of arena rock tapers. 🐖

I wrote about them both over at AD.

Who knows why, but the copyright enforcement on this show is particularly relentless! Perhaps that instrument swap was illegal at the time.

Shit looks like a couple rural boys gettin into mischief.

Very crunchy

Late 70s ECM with Walcott on the session?

This is deranged

New wordless Neil jam! Nice move, hoss.

Roger McGuinn Talks 50 Years of Rolling Thunder Plus The Byrds, Tom Petty, Bobfest, and the rest of his time with Bob Dylan

Happy 50th Rolling Thunder anniversary! Here's my new interview with Roger McGuinn. We also discussed all his other work with Bob of course, from the Byrds to Tom Petty tours, Bobfest, and beyond.

(Plus I got to ask him about a wild video I watched dozens of times in high school)
