Favoriting The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from September 27, 2024 Favoriting

DJ Peter's avatar View DJ Peter's profile Favoriting

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

I saw The Grateful Dead @Madison Square Garden in the 90s- Garcia was already ill. At one point they're playing Sugar Magnolia, and he's measured behind the rest of the band (righted himself he the end of the stanza). It may have been his illness, or just that night's chemical indulgence...

adorno was not in states 31-32...(?right) surprised he picked americana to base an opera around. though later in america would be taking apart fascism with one eye on the past (germany) and the other eye on the present/ future (usa)
