rec of the day: PHIL MISTEIN a.o. "The Velvet Underground at the Boston Tea Party" (SP Purple Dog hc) big nice book of pics from each of the 5 runs the VU did at the tea party. great essays but mostly pix -- all by "the modern printer." not sure of press contact info, but it's out there somewhere.

RIP FRED SMITH
then man who stepped into richard hell's shoes in television, making the band far less chaotic but a whole lot more "musical." later a vintner & animating presence at the great jones.

rec of the day: HELENE BARBIER "panorama" (bonsound LP) third great solo slab by this MTL-based singer/bassist who was in moss lime. mixes post-punk instrumental lumpery with vocals based in the eternally-fulfilling birkin model. smooth, sharp & swingin'.

rec of the day: DAN MELCHIOR "reveries" (cudighi LP) unlike any other rec i know in dan's massive discography. slurping instrumentals for guitar and electric organ, almost in the style of those oddball lounge records tom verlaine used to love. bodacious!

RIP JOHNNY LEGEND
not always my cup of tea, but a genuine freak & proud of it. the premier of his film, "my breakfast with blassie" was the last time i saw andy kaufman on this earth. sending love to johnny's sister, lynn, another stone bad-ass of a different sort
www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/a...
he was a super interesting guy, and no doubt you are probably right about him turning strummer on to jara when they were squat mates. really a one of a kind individual.

rec of the day: EQUIPMENT POINTED ANKH "eggs a little late" (petty bunco LP) missed EPA's last LP, but this one's a wide-ass listen in terms of sound & variety. post-post-post-prog eclecticism of the finest sort available. fully outside time & space.

rec of the day: BILL ORCUTT "another perfect day" (palilalia LP) solo at cafe oto in '23. tom carter's description of it as "punk rock" is correct, inasmuch as the attack is well-chopped & moves forward organically, but it's still quite melodic and groovy

because out old buildling is not very happy in the extreme cold & the parking lot can be quite a mess in snow
