Early voting is already happening all around the country for the Nov 4 elections. Our state, county and local government officials (and especially judges) can serve as an effective firewall against the fascist onslaught, so don’t even think of sitting this one out.

Sometimes I spin this Ray Davies-produced Turtles LP and wish it were better than it actually is. And sometimes (like this morning) it sounds absolutely perfect as it is. RIP, Mark Volman.

Finally: an affordable vinyl reissue of this wonderful album that doesn’t sound like ass. (It sounds fantastic, actually!)

Happy Birthday to my esteemed co-author Steven McDonald of Redd Kross — a true gentleman as well as a bona fide rock god. Celebrate his latest trip around the sun by buying a copy of Now You’re One of Us: The Incredible Story of Redd Kross. You’ll be way too happy that you did! 🤘🏼🎸❤️

A day late on the Donovan birthday celebration. Not my favorite album by “thy humble minstrel” (that would be Hurdy Gurdy Man), but I needed to hear the title track this morning. #nowplaying

A funky farewell to Chet Lemon, who has passed away at age 70 after years of serious health issues. He won a ring with my Tigers in '84, but this 1977 Topps card was where I first got hip to the talents of Chester Earl... RIP...

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s “midnight ride”… and about 2 1/2 weeks away from the 59th anniversary of Paul Revere & The Raiders’ Midnight Ride!

Just in terms of song titles alone, this may be the greatest — or at least most quintessentially “Isaac Hayes” — side of an Isaac Hayes album ever waxed.

Pouring one out and cranking it up in memory of the great Blondie drummer Clem Burke, who has now sadly ascended to the great drum riser in the sky. One of my all-time favorite rock drummers, Clem was also a true music fan and seemed like a really lovely guy the few times we crossed paths. #RIP

Happy Adoptaversary to my little loaf Hugo. A year ago today, you were so scared and angry when I brought you home from UCSPCA that you refused to leave your carrier… and it took months before you even let me pet you… but look at you now! 🧡🧡🧡

Blasting the morning cobwebs away with this fine hard rock slab. I only recently became aware of the existence of the 2-LP 2021 reissue, which not only sounds amazing but also includes the oft-bootlegged “Live at the Record Plant” concert on the second record. 🤘🏼 #nowplaying #vinyl #UFO

Huge thanks to everyone who came out to Stories Books and Cafe in Echo Park last night for our Redd Kross book event! It was a stone groove to finally celebrate the publication of Now You’re One of Us. And thank you Jeff McDonald and Steven McDonald for being the coolest co-authors ever!
