I've been bemoaning the absence of Mos Def's THE ECSTATIC album on streaming for years, but that won't keep me from playing things off of it. I played "Auditorium" from that fantastic album. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJJz...

I played "Born in the U.S.A. (The Freedom Mix)" by Bruce Springsteen, one of a number of remixes of tracks done by Arthur Baker for singles back at the album's release. @carynrose.bsky.social wrote a fascinating piece for NPR about them and you can hear them there: www.npr.org/2024/07/02/n...

Jphono1 from right here in NC is getting ready to put out his second album of this year. BEYOND PROVISIONAL is due out August 16th on Potluck Records, and the first single, "Magic Here," is a very good introduction. jphono1.bandcamp.com/album/beyond...

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech.

"Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!"

Also, are you thinking of David Vandervelde? I wasn't familiar with the song, and had to go looking.

Seventh set: Shellac, Big Black, the Breeders, and Songs:Ohia (RIP Steve Albini - I really hate that his death happened while we were off the air. I hate it happened at all, but especially that we couldn't memorialize him on air in the moment.)

He did a fair bit. I played "Trance Manual" from 2005's PIXEL REVOLT, but he's still putting out stuff.

Part of the VALIS trilogy is my personal favorite of his, THE TRANSMIGRATION OF TIMOTHY ARCHER. It's a little unlike his other stuff, but it's so so good.

Homeless people can be arrested for sleeping, Presidents cannot be arrested for rampant graft and corruption done while in office. There is no clearer a summary of "conservative 'law and order'" than this.

We had our annual dinner at Perrone's in Pawley's Island, SC last night. That is some restaurant, y'all. Ridiculously thorough drink menu, but the fig old fashioned is a work of art.
