Anton fier is dead

Drummer Anton Fier (Lounge Lizards, Feelies, Golden Palominos) Dead At 66

Drummer Anton Fier, a longtime staple of the New York downtown scene, has died. Syd Straw, Fier’s bandmate in the Golden Palominos, broke the news of Fier’s passing on Facebook last night, and other Fier collaborators like John Lurie and Bob Mould have also paid tribute on social media. No cause...

RIP. Crazy Rhythms is one of my favorite albums and I think it is in large part due to him.

Now everybody is hyped. And after the reveal you hear a collective sigh of disappointment in the audience. " Its only Ringo"

‘It paved the way for all of us’: the classic garage rock compilation Nuggets at 50

Half a century on from its release, we track down the surviving artists from the hugely influential record and hear how the double LP changed their lives and careers

www.theguardian.com

A five LP Nuggets box set is on the way – delayed until spring 2023 owing to the vinyl production backlog.

Did not see a pre-order for this, yet

The Cure debuted 2 new songs at the first date of their tour. They sound pretty good to me! And Perry Bamonte is back in the touring band, now a six piece.

Here's a list for you...not bad and extremely weird all at the same time:

This is absolutely fascinating and kind of sounds like a dream job to me (curation for the project):

The Global Music Vault Wants to Safeguard the World’s Songs—But Who Decides What’s Preserved?

The project aims to store music on pieces of glass that are housed inside a mountain deep into the Arctic Circle, protecting it for future generations.

Stupid Justin Hawkins, opening up rabbit holes for me. He did a video on The Strokes - Last Night. In it he stated that the tune is based on the structure of American Girl by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. He kind of discounted the similarities after that. However, I've never really been interested in the Strokes. They were firmly in the it's fine camp for me. So on the way to work, I put on Tom's first album. I immediately noticed the whole sound of The Strokes. Now I'm listening to Is This It and now all I can hear is the similarities to Tom Petty and now I'm like FUCK YEAH! I don't need a rabbit hole Justin, you dick!

I'm pretty sure I had listened to Freedom by Amen Dunes back in 2018 when it came out. (My last.fm confirms this). However, it didn't really strike a chord with me then. I'm guessing that my mom passing in February is informing my listen this evening, but it's getting me in the feels. I'm absolutely certain it would have spent about as much time as Brandi Carlile's In These Silent Days helping me work through it all. This all a long-winded way of thanking @Ghost for causing me to reexamine it. It's funny what time can do to music...

I know right? It's pretty much a daily habit for me now. When the White Album shows up in my grid for this week, it's his damn fault.
