I am finishing up his (relatively) new biography -- it's tragic as expected but his entire body of work (esp "Pink Moon" which is the one everyone knows, but who cares) is extraordinary. It'll lead you down the road of discovering Davy Graham, John Renbourne, Bert Jansch, Karen Dalton, Judee Sill, Anne Briggs, etc.

His backstory as an actor, the breadcrumbs and rabbit holes of music, film, and art to explore that he references… also just such a respectable outlook on the craft of an artistic persona and the thought process / intentionality behind every little thing he does. Chefs kiss.

I’m going through Mojo Nixon‘s discography right now and it’s fantastic - I had never heard of him before! It’s poignant and more powerful because they’re gone and their indelible mark has been permanently established in the annals of history. It’s also a powerful reminder we only get one kick at the can of life!

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s. So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it: “Unwound is the best band of the ’90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesn’t say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasn’t stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the ’90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.” R.I.P. Vern Rumsey. This is their finest song, from their finest album. I really can’t say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. 🖤
