seen frith a few times over the years with golden palominos(fier&laswell) and some shows at the stone one with chris cutler. Dude is out there!
Denzel Curry (a rapper) just did the most brilliant cover of a Rage Against the Machine song I've ever heard! Would love to see him create more rock/metal stuff, he's definitely got the voice and energy for it.

CSNY 1974 - streaming it on Neil Young Archives. I’ve been curious about this since it came out but never picked it up, maybe because of its “Doom Tour” reputation. Anyway I’m enjoying it now.
The one 2 set show I saw him at was at The Stone. With Ches Smith & Mary Halvorson. He was incredible and Ches was on fire.
I think it's a great release. Edit: sort of a very lazy post, isn't it?. What I meant is that even though the tour had its flaws due to different factors (exhaustion, drug abuse, ego clashing), CSNY 1974 manages to capture the best from those shows. When they were on, they were truly great.
Bruce Hornsby, Hot House. I've only heard half of the tunes so far- I keep coming back to the same ones and repeating them. Bought it for "White Wheeled Limousine" and "Cruise Control", staying for the rest of them. "Spider Fingers" I know from Hornsby's live record, "Walk In The Sun" used to get played on the radio a little bit. The one I'm starting to click back to at this point is "Changes", apparently about a hardcore jazz band playing the casino/party circuit, for employers and audiences who only want to hear the smooth stuff. It's a very strong tune- one of the few compositions written in the last forty years that I know of by a "AOR mainstream rock/pop" artist that could make it into the jazz canon if it were played as an instrumental arrangement without a singer. A future classic, I'm telling you (and a neat one for a good jazz band to lay into as an inside joke, on occasions when they find themselves facing an audience of spuds.) Great harmonic subtleties in there, and Pat Metheny takes a terrific solo. Metheny's all over this record, incidentally- for instance trading solos with Bela Fleck and the saxophonist on "White Wheeled Limousine", which is taken at a very fast clip. I'm beginning to like this studio take almost as much as the one on the live Other Ones record- Hornsby's ominous vocal is unbeatable on the live version, and Steve Kimock does an all-timer of a guitar solo on it, but the studio version also features blast furnace playing throughout and goes out a lot stronger, with Hornsby's piano, the horn arrangement, and the chorus vocals revving the whole thing practically off the chain before it settles down, with Fleck restating the bracing opening riff of the tune on banjo to close it out. The last tune is "Cruise Control"- another song done at a fast tempo, along with what I believe is Jerry Garcia's last officially released studio electric guitar work (at least during his lifetime- Hot House was released less than a month before Garcia departed.) Jerry sounds terrific on it- I think he always played well when guesting on Hornsby's records, but this one is the best of the bunch- it features not one but two of his best studio guitar solos ever, on any studio release. Seriously, this is the record to recommend to any "classic guitar rock" fans around who still might be unfamiliar with Garcia's style (believe it or not, there are some.) Garcia's solo breaks are outright flashy- fast, soaring licks featuring all of Jerry's patented phrasing tricks and harmonic gambits, packed with energy and enthusiasm. My stereo isn't good enough to allow me to hear whether or not it's one take, but it sure sounds like it to me. A perfect closing tune for this record. And I still have six more tunes to get acquainted with, ha ha...
Lazy??? I've never been so insulted! Well maybe not...but I'm glad I'm checking it out now. The price has gone down too so I may buy it so I'll have the video too.
Ohhh, that makes much more sense. In re-reading it now it's actually quite clear, especially because of "Edit:". Glad I wasn't actually offended or I'd be rather embarrassed at the moment...

I remember paying a lot for the 3cd+dvd set. I watched the dvd only once. My complaint about this release is related to the way drums were mixed. More than often a tom tom note would go abruptly from one channel to the other in a very awkward way. The reason for this, I can't tell.
My morning commute: Six, by Soft Machine, 1973. Terrific live and studio material by this ever-changing band. Never For Ever, by Kate Bush, 1980. Possibly my favorite album by Kate. The perfect link between the sound of her first two albums and the experiments of The Dreaming.
Today I listened to Lazer Guided Melodies and Pure Phase by Spiritualized, and again The Slider by T. Rex, so far. Also some Sixto Rodriguez songs on Youtube, and Over Valence by Hair & Skin Trading Company.
Bunch of stuff including a great free jazz date recorded on 6/10/2012 in Brooklyn, NY while Paul Dunmall was making a rare stateside appearance at Vision Fest (he was incredible for his one set - a shame he was given only one set but whatever.... Edward Ricart Quartet with Herb Robertson featuring the above on tenor saxophone “Chameleon” Ricart on guitar, Jason Ajemian on bass & Andrew Barker on drums
