Great gig from The Loft yesterday at J.T Soars, guitars evoking the ghosts of Tom Verlaine and Robert Quine and then some. Highlights for me were "Winter" and "Time". The new album is a winner.

Yesterday I was celebrating the brilliant use of “The Opera House” by the Olivia Tremor Control on the closing credits of the Ted Danson comedy “A Man On The Inside” plus the release of two new OTC songs. So I was sad to learn that Will Hart co-leader of the OTC had died today of a heart attack. 1/4
