I sort of wonder at this point what is holding up the release of the Trigger Hippy album.

He needs a singer. His vocals are better than they use to be - but still - he needs someone else to sing.

I have not heard any of Marc's records. I listened to the new Rich album yesterday. I don't think I will buy it.

I did. I didn't think it was all that great in some ways.

Streaming: Rich Robinson - The Ceaseless Sight

Today I happened to start watching the Levon Helm documentary on Netflix. I was looking at a music news site and noticed it is his birthday. And in the first few minutes of the film he mentions the town where I live.

It is pretty weird to see Jimmy Page on a late night talk show talking about re-mastering. I am guessing Robert and John Paul Jones are not willing to do any press for the new re-releases.

Of course, we have to remember they could probably not hear themselves that well. I think Neil talk about this tour in the Shakey book. One of the points being that Stephen was often too loud.

Rich is doing all sorts of things I would never have imagined him doing. Hell - lately he has been doing Q&A sessions on his Facebook page.

You saw it.

It's sort of fun - ain't it.

I had that book once upon a time. I sent it to someone on here and never got it back. It's a great book. Yes

That's a Mike Millard tape. I pretty sure I have that boot - Listen To This Eddie.

I could swear I have seen the whole episode of that on Youtube several years ago.

If you happen to have some original vinyl pressing and later cd copies - take a look at some of the credits that did change. Also - the same with some Rolling Stones records. There is also a song by Moby Grape called Never that was most likely the "inspiration" for Since I've Been Loving You.

R.E.M. Has a 'Lot of Stuff in the Vaults'

Yea, that's nothing new. Willie Dixon waited until 1985 to sue them over Whole Lotta Love (You Need Love.) I think Jake Holmes also tried to sue them over Dazed and Confused a while back.

Interview with Mac about his new album:

I don't think I recall hearing you mention the 77 tour before. I think if I ever had the chance - I would have wanted to see them in 1971/1972/1973.

There are some rather sad photos out there where he looks like he just got out of a POW camp.
