This you?

Very, very strong case for arguing that he's the greatest living musician!

This book just arrived in the mail and its arrival made my spirits soar (Michael Veal’s book “Dub: Soundscapes & Shattered Songs In Jamaican Reggae” is one of the greatest books on music ever written)

The best live music TV performance of the last 20 years? It’s definitely in the running!

Yeah, that’s the last time I ever tweet about a “Liverpool scene” cuz that term is a bit too, um, broad (I threw in Wirral, Salford, and Macclesfield 😱)

I called some Wirral bands “Liverpool bands” and I am now in the Twitter doghouse!

To the fine folx of Liverpool & Manchester: I feel your pain in sometimes getting mixed up

Same happens here, between my city, Durham, & the state capital Raleigh (adding to the confusion, the airport is called Raleigh-Durham!)

Anyway, THIS was like a dagger through my heart🤣

Oooooops, thanks to music Twitter for reminding me that Joy Division were from SALFORD not Liverpool, I've caused an international incident; next time I will be better caffeinated before tweeting 😉

It’s mind blowing to contemplate how many amazing bands came out of Liverpool

Dalek-I, Teardrop Explodes, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Pale Fountains, Shack, The Mighty Wah!, St Vitus Dance, The Lotus Eaters, OMD, Crucial Three, Positive Action, Joy Division….

What a scene!

One of the greatest debut albums in history

Hendrix apparently said Terry Kath was his favorite guitarist

Stylistically, it’s hard to think of any other debut quite like this—jazz, rock, classical, waltz, soul, R&B, & more!

(I’m not a fan of Chicago’s post-Kath era music)

🇧🇷 Now playing

Top 10 album of all time, no doubt

Unbelievably sad end to his life: he was kidnapped, tortured & murdered by the Argentine military dictatorship (infobae.com/en/2022/03/18/…)
