The Needles & Grooves May 2024 Omniversal Spin Challenge Arkestra

[Wes C. Attle]

May 22 - Stars Fell on Alabama

Waxahatchee - Tigers Blood



Despite living in Florida, the accents, culture, and weather are more consistent with Alabama because of where we are in the state. This album (and cover) feels like my home

Some brand new Sun Ra music was released into the world today!

The outsized sounds emerging from the Excelsior Mill organ captured here constitute a unique chapter in the Sun Ra story, a dizzying phantasmagoria that offers a whole new view on what Ra could do. It might thrill you; it might unnerve you; it might strum your heartstrings; it might spook the living daylights out of you. Most likely you’ll experience all of the above before the jolting musical jeremiad is done.

I listened to this one last night, and when that track played I thought "Oh, I should have saved it for tomorrow!"
