What's Spinning

Another shit pressing from Optimal. It's a 50/50 toss-up these days if they can produce a playable record. All the issues I have with them are in the first minute of the records.

Well I’m on Ziggy now but just finished The Low Anthem - OMG Charlie Darwin. Still the best live band I’ve ever witnessed. So freaking good. Recommend to anyone who likes Americana music. This is 10th anniversary edition from Joyful Noise with original track listing.

This is exactly the place and time I saw him. It was a great show. I was an intern there during the time. I think he released a few records on their label.
It was such a great venue. One of my favorite all time shows (Pharoah Sanders -- and gosh I wish I knew who the bass player was at that gif) and so many others. I was bummed when it shut down.

When I was there I could really see that they were trying to do too many things. They didn’t really invest in developing an area (recording studio & label & live streaming shows) well.
