RIP B.B. King
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Can we make a rule that John Legend doesn't get to sing Bill Withers' songs, like ever?
(watching the Rock and Roll hall of fame ceremony)
Bill Withers is fucking amazing. I got to see him speak, and he was world-changing.
Should I buy Hawkwind's album Warrior on the Edge of Time?
Too late--I already did.
eta: Scifi and heavy metal--two great tastes that taste great together.
Also, the '70s were awesome.

I love their early 70s stuff. Do Re Mi is probably my favorite.
It has the song that gave Lemmy "Motorhead" and the bonus tracks include "Ejection" and "Lord of Light."

I like what I've heard so far. I'll have to check out more of their early stuff. Who knew my life was sorely lacking in '70s scifi-inspired heavy metal?
ION, I'm now downloading Fanny's First Time In A Long Time: The Reprise Recordings.
"Psi Power" by Hawklords (Hawkwind in disguise) is also pretty great: [link]
"Silver Machine" is also de rigueur: [link]
And then there was their "new wave hit" "Quark Strangeness and Charm": [link]

RIP Ornette Coleman. He was a force of nature in music whether you liked his style or not. I was happy to see him once with some monster collaborators (including Charlie Haden and Pat Methany).
