Spent part of the day listening to Rodney Crowell’s “Shame on the Moon” over and over again. Sometimes I just get stuck on it.

The Seger version that was a monster hit somehow lacks the weird tension in Crowell’s own version though. Seger sounds resigned. Crowell sounds . . . I dunno maybe that’s why I keep listening.

This has been Occasional Musings About Things Nobody Else Cares About. It’s a house specialty.

Baltimore/DC: you MUST see Jordan Perry! As original a guitarist as he is nice of a guy.

In the late 60s, Doug McKechnie was among the first to experiment with the original Moog. He recorded with the Grateful Dead, crossed paths with Terry Riley, and even performed at Altamont. I had the honor of speaking with this unsung pioneer for Reverb: reverb.com/news/moogs-missin…

We’re catching up on the second night of Eurovision, and so far there are too many deadly earnest pop wannabes and not enough dudes dressed like Wario.

Happy @Bandcamp Friday. I’ve been talking up @SFSYNTH’s LPs lately, but I’m proud of all my babies. There’s also amazing music from Picks & Lighters, Susan Alcorn, and Phillip Greenlief on sale at vgplusrecords.com. (I’m sold out of @tarotplane_.)

Here’s something I found today that Mim wrote down not long ago. Maybe it’s notes from something she heard or read, but it’s the way she saw things, for sure.

Album Review: Doug McKechnie - The Complete San Francisco Moog 1968-72
"The fact that these were all done so early on makes them fascinating... that they easily stand the test of time... is remarkable"

San Francisco Moog’ documents for the first time a critical missing link in the history of electronic music. In 1968, a young singer named Doug McKechnie got hold of one the first Moog Modular Series III synthesizers and began experimenting. @vgplusrecs
