#BloodIncantation’s #MorrisKolontyrsky is about to release a record, “Origination”, in October. I absolutely love the inspiration his press photo draws from Göttsching’s “Inventions For Electric Guitar”.

Streaming a few of the records from my collection and reminded how great this cut is from Brebian’s “Middle Eastern Rock” LP from 1969.

Yesterday, I visited what I strongly believe is #Bologna’s best record store, Discobolandia.
The shop’s selections are incredibly well-organized and the owner, despite the language barrier (mine, not his), was super-gracious and helpful. I pulled 2 great LPs from ‘71 and ‘72.

When I was an elementary aged kid, my babysitter would watch Swaggart and the Bakkers as much as she’d let me watch Sesame Street or Mr. Rogers.

Pre-show, J. Davis asked the Epic Records rep, FS, if he or anyone at the PGH station knew a photographer because Davis’ girlfriend needed headshots…apparently right then & there.
I somehow quickly tracked down a coworker’s acquaintance who came to the venue & did the thing.

#Biohazard and #Sepultura opened for the (then) almighty #Pantera.
I’m thrilled to have seen Sepultura during their “Chaos AD” period.
Pantera were unstoppable. This was my 3rd time seeing them.
8 months later, I’d see Biohazard again as openers for Slayer.

Seven after a fiery Ozzfest ‘97 in Columbus, OH’s amphitheater, I was at NYC’s Webster Hall for @franzferdinandhq.bsky.social.
I loved this band’s first record. “Take Me Out” is a goddamn tune.
Bonus photo of #AlexKapranos and me after the show.

Heh. This was the #Ozzfest ‘97 stop that ended up on the news because Ozzy didn’t show up.
When Phil said Ozzy wasn’t coming out, holy shit did the tenor of the crowd change…and quickly.

I don’t remember there being an opener. #Ministry were touring on their “Dark Side Of The Spoon” record, which had been released a few days before this show.
The band was something like 90 minutes late to the stage. Boring.
#AlJourgensen still rules.

Now, this was a show to remember. My wife (then girlfriend) managed to get us incredible tickets.
However, a drunk yinzer complicated the experience a bit.
Seeing #TomPetty and his band that up close and personal was incredible.

A recent Discogs delivery from a Canadian dealer - a 1977 pressing of Don Cherry’s “Brown Rice” that lost its title after OG 1975 pressings. Hell, it lost its original album art, too.
This is a solid session that includes Charlie Haden on 3/4 of the cuts.

I wasn’t dragged to this show to see #Powerman5000, no.
Instead, I was dragged to this show to see a baby-faced #Shinedown open. They’d just released #LeaveAWhisper. The lead off single had been out for a few months. They were growing. Long forgotten #Reach454 was on the bill, too.

Talk about a flash in the pan. The music director of WXEG and I drove to Cincinnati for this show. It was severely under-attended because this UK outfit really didn’t land in the Midwest.
I ended up with an autographed copy of the set list, which I lost in a move years and years ago.
