#NowPlaying - don & moki cherry & the organic music theatre, france, late august '72. the height of the cherrys' is-this-even-#jazz commune vibes in the middle of a giant straight jazz festival featuring mingus, blakey, etc. kids on stage, puppet shows, lots of chants & singalongs & percussion (including nana vasconcelos), some light #drone. from the(?) period when cherry didn't play any #trumpet at all. https://blankformseditions.bandcamp.com/album/organic-music-theatre-festival-de-jazz-de-chateauvallon-1972 @vinylrecords

#NowPlaying - @SunRaUniverse at montreux, july '76. coincidentally, almost exactly concurrent with the previous don cherry session. but, maybe not coincidentally, also near the end of the arkestra's furthest-out period, before they headed for more inside orbits. not inside yet, though. sprawling full-spectrum 20+ member 2-drummer ensemble #jazz arrangements blowing apart & back again, led by sunny's powerful (& wonderfully recorded) #piano & noisy starstuff #synth. @vinylrecords

#nowplaying Lou Reed - Street Hassle. It dirges. It stomps. It's beatniky. Probably the best Lou Reed solo album. @vinylrecords

#nowplaying Sly and the Family Stone - There's a Riot Goin' On. Sly took us higher. Here's the funk comedown. Slow, loose 4am grooves. @vinylrecords

#nowplaying Allman Brothers - Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil, Dollar Gas. The other live Allman release. Two keys, two drums and only Mr Betts on guitar. Cover is bad but the jams are great. @vinylrecords

#nowplaying Hawkwind - Quark Strangeness and Charm. One of their groovier albums? Only one I own. Listened to this maybe 15 times and still have no idea what's happening. @vinylrecords

#nowplaying Marian Henderson - Cameo. British folk on a late winter Sunday morning. She kind of sounds like a breathier Nina Simone. This track is great. Nina would absolutely murder this too of course. @vinylrecords

So the day after the Nuggets notch a nice statement win, the Celtics drop 44 in the first quarter and are absolutely flexing all over the Warriors today, without one of their best players. These teams are fucking READY for the #nba playoffs and despite a very strong field with several really good teams at the top it sure looks to me like Boston and Denver could pulverize everyone in their paths if everyone stays healthy. No such thing as a sure thing obviously though

Just witnessed a 20 yo cashier give me change in record time. Like he was trying to beat the record. Really impressive.

#HotTakeJubilee The music African Americans made between roughly 1955 - 1975 is the greatest art movement in human history.

#HotTakeJubilee Keith Moon sucks. Can't keep time. No pocket. No groove. Definitely not "jazzy" which is how some of these British rock drummers are labeled (ahem, Ginger Baker). Plays like Animal from the Muppets. Ruins all the beauty of delicacy of Townsend's songs. I like the Who still, but honestly I like Townsend solo more than the Who.

Some thoughts on nostalgia in art/culture, especially music

Of course nostalgia is weaponized to sell you back your youth and defang any revolutionary aspects of your chosen counterculture, everyone gets this by now.

But we also live in a temporally flattened aesthetic environment, meaning all prior eras of art exist equally in the present through digital mediation, outside of commercial retro marketing cycles. So your youth genres sit as part of an enormous network in aesthetic space

#NowPlaying - revisiting early santana for the first time in eons at the behest of a (drummer) pal who suggested trying to background carlos & focus on the next-level collectivity of this specific group of players. and, like, shit yeah! it's probably just stating the obvious to say that santana were an incredible band, but it made them feel fresh to me. @vinylrecords
