If you're at a Red Sox home game and you want to send me a song request, this is the best place to do it. If you prefer to send it via Twitter, that's okay. If you prefer to send it via some other means, I may or may not see it in time. Thanks! Let's have an awesome Red Sox season together! ⚾ 🎹

Don Henley, backstage after a Brian Wilson show telling Wilson how much his music meant, asked him to sign a first-pressing vinyl copy of "Pet Sounds." Wilson signed it: "Don, thanks for the great songs" and started to hand it back, but then decided to cross out "great" before returning it to him.

I recorded this Christmas organ version of "Brass Bonanza." The original version was the official theme song of the Hartford Whalers, who played in the National Hockey League from 1979-1997.

Sun Ra's Christmas song is among his most normal AND most deranged works. Some time from 1956-1960, Ra produced & played harmonium on this song he co-wrote for unknown Chicago teen doo-wop group The Qualities. Pretty sure the woodblock player wasn't allowed to listen to playback during recording. A+

This song rules. Luther being Luther (fittingly, this 1976 track was released by Luther's pre-solo group, which is called Luther), Smooth-R&B arrangements (by former Motown legend Paul Riser) that are both tight and lush, and a killer bass-line that's frenetic without sacrificing groove/purpose/joy.
