Orcutt Shelley Miller add one more legendary name to the fold, paring up with The Jesus Lizard’s David Yow for a cover of the Beefheart classic “Hot Head.” As broiled & barbed as one might expect, a fastball of hot wax and thumbtacks that comes at the listener from all directions. bit.ly/4sBthRQ

Very sad that my alma mater is closing. Bad tidings for higher ed, liberal arts & free thinking. It was the only college that accepted me, a troubled student with promise, which they recognized & nurtured. My DIV III was on Sun Ra, Debussy, & exotica, the first stirrings of my dissertation & book.

Happy album release day to @voicesbend.bsky.social, whose absolute stunner ‘Only the Void Stands Between Us” debuts on vinyl today. The artwork is lush and gorgeous with a gatefold, but I had to get a photo with the @6organs.bsky.social hype sticker intact. Jamming my copy as I type. ✨🌟

I could write 300 characters about how @voicesbend.bsky.social's first album in over a decade is a must-listen but Jim Allen at @bandcamp.com daily already did that and more, so

Thanks, Heathen Disco! "She carves a sizable swath of song out of an instrument that sounds as if it's 16 feet long, weighs 300 pounds,... and requires the blade of a hatchet for a pick. ...The bicoastal bliss of somebody who's seen something instills this whole record with a peaceful confidence."
