1. "One of the big things that caught my attention was after he moved to Nashville in the '60s, he and another Texan, Waylon Jennings, eventually told the Nashville people to go to hell, and they left," says Sample, who will join Nelson in performances of the "American Classic" material in Chicago on Sept. 27 and 28 for a PBS special to air in the fall.

3. Consequently, we've not had universal health care for the common good. We have never enjoyed the benefit of universal higher education, because collectively we cannot agree that it is in the common good for all citizens to be equally free from ignorance. We pay the price of that at every turn … in the lack of nuance in the national character, in the childlike and clichéd thinking of our electorate, in our satisfaction with a deluge of technological toys instead of meaningful work and leisure, or intellectual and spiritual substance. (via Joe Bageant)

2. Made my first Muxtape in no time early this morning.  You can access it by clicking here. Other than Google, of course, this has to be the simplest user interface out there/in here, at least where music is concerned.   With such an elegant design at play I found it very difficult to turn away from the chance to re-capture even a smidgen of the romance an old mix tape session could bring.  And I must say Muxtape does an honorable job of it.  Plus, it's as easy as 1-2-3:   Upload 12 songs, organize and share the link.  Looks promising overall. The screen-shot you see to the left is the founder's page.  Here are the numbers he released today:   8,685 users / 19,731 songs / 35,000 visits.  That's after one day of action. If you choose to make one of your own please leave your Muxtape link in the comments.  I'm always looking for new mixes to enjoy while working.  And it's fun.  I've been told I need to increase my dosage... Postscript:  I hear Contrabandwidth is compiling a Muxtape link-roll on Mog as well.

While Ayers aimed this feel-good record directly at the dance crowd, in 1976 it was heard coming out of passing cars and on apartment stoops as much as in discotheques. A Top 10 R&B and jazz hit, this one still shines with Ayers’ liquid vibes and soulful grooves– a sound that would be much copied, sampled and emulated decades later.

Update 05 March 2008: Thanks to Cody B at MOG I realized I forgot to qualify the above review. With regard to dance-ability and hip to motion quotient, it references the Everybody Loves the Sunshine record, not The Third Eye track specifically. Phenomenal record.

Proud parent P.G. Moreno of Epistrophy Arts in Austin shared with us this great photo of Ivan in his Albert Ayler No.1 t-shirt.

P.G. is a radio host at KOOP. His show is called Expressive Movements and can be heard on Fridays from noon to 1PM (Central) at koop.org.

Since October of 1998 he has curated over 50 concerts in Austin with internationally renowned figures in jazz and experimental music. If only every community had a P.G.

And, if that isn’t enough to earn the man a key to the city, he’s also a librarian.
Thanks, P.G.
