David Carr and A. O. Scott on the deaths of MCA, Levon Helm, Donna Summer etc. It gets oddly touching toward the end.

After a long, long wait (15 years?) I was finally able to cross paths with the mighty Spiritualized last night. Soul thoroughly cleansed. Here’s a beautifully shot 45 minutes of them at the 9:30 club last Friday, courtesy of NPR. They’re also streaming the complete show (audio only) below the video embed.

RIP Cochese.

This post from Doom & Gloom etc. reminded me of this supremely trippy TH radio spot.

In case you didn’t know the mind-blowing attention to detail Fleetwood Mac paid to their records, check out Lindsey Buckingham’s breakdown of the individual tracks on “Gold Dust Woman” (starting at 2:42). Netflix is currently streaming the entire Rumours Classic Albums episode and it’s tremendous.

Willard continues his streak of incredible posts with a re-up of a fine 2-disc David Crosby comp, aptly titled Alternate Tunings and Nautical Themes. If you’ve never explored Crosby early 70s output, this is a fine way to immerse yourself.

If you haven’t dropped by Willard’s Wormholes in a while, get on it. He’s been on a dead serious Miles kick lately, posting the complete Columbia box set collection (ALL 8!) and a bevvy of post-Bitches Brew live records. Outstanding blogsmanship from our man, Willard!

Sparks “Amateur Hour” Live 1975

This track is outstanding, but keyboardist’s stoic apathy is the real star.

This is a damn handsome instrument.

Part Moroder, part Cluster, Minneapolis’ Food Pyramid has a deadly lock on icy, clean kraut-style psych. Their new LP, Mango Sunrise, is a stunner. Here they are performing live for Minnesota Public Radio.
