Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy
Iggy Pop crowd-walking on "Midsummer Rock" TV broadcast from Cincinnati Pop Festival on on June 13, 1970 at Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio - later in the broadcast an audience member (rumoured to be future Dead Boys lead singer, Stiv Bators) passes the singer a jar of something - the TV announcer states: "That's peanut butter"

Fished out this ‘72 Osmonds metal album from the free bin outside of Audiopile yesterday … it’s 87% mint condition so if there’s even one other song as good as the title track, I’ll consider it a win

What's weird is that side-by-side the new Doobie Brothers and Pulp albums look eerily similar in their landscape presentations and perspectives

Stoked for this one tonight: attending my first jazz gig in a boxing gym.

Hoping they play “Idle Moments”, “So What”, “Ain't It Funky Now”, “Let the Music Take Your Mind” and a whole lot of “Visions”…
