We heard a lot about David Giovannoni's new "i78s" online library of historic audio recordings last week at the ARSC Conference. The site is live now--register to check out over 30,000 selections drawn from his collection of pioneer American recordings, with more
to be added as they are digitally preserved!

BANDCAMP | FIRST FRIDAYS

The Luxembourg Signal
I loved this album cover as it made me feel the last four years were fading at last and a golden hue awaits. Then I listened... Cut The Bridle.

Outronaut
Steve is a guitarist that practices guitar-smithery of the highest order. Phantom Helmsmen proved it many moons ago. It’s in those Gerlach genes... There Goes The Sun.

Jetstream Pony
Self-Destruct Reality was my mission at the time, but their 2020 eponymous debut made me a fan, even if I’m biased (I mixed it)... Mitte.

Sunshine Boys
I met Dag 11/11/87 when our bands played together at Chicago’s Park West. When Mr. Juhlin asked me to run his Greenwood’s project through my “fancy box” decades later, I hadn’t even built walls for the new studio. The Serpent In Spring.

Eleventh Dream Day
The only “oldie” on this short list. Listened to El Moodio a zillion times. I also mixed EDD live when they toured supporting their Atlantic Records debut, Beet, while opening for Meat Puppets (thanks, Gary!). This one is from New Moodio - their 2013 reimagining of E.M. Always carry your cross on wheels... Figure It Out.

RED ALERT: 77% of people in the live events industry have lost 100% of their income, including 97% of 1099 workers.

Urge Senator Michael Bennet and Senator Cory Gardner to pass the RESTART Act and extend and expand PUA.

Red Rocks is empty and the people in live events need help.

Huge loss... RIP, Andy

This is so hard for us to write, but our great friend and Supreme Leader has died today.

Andy’s final tour in November was the only way he was ever really going to bow out; with a Stratocaster around his neck, screaming with feedback and deafening the front row.

His uncompromising artistic vision and commitment to the cause meant that he was still listening to mixes for the upcoming record, whilst planning the next tour from his hospital bed.

But to us, he was our friend - and we’ll remember him for his kindness and generosity, his fearsome intelligence, bad jokes, mad stories and endless cups of Darjeeling tea. He just so happened to be a bit of a genius too.

One of the best to ever do it, his influence on guitar music and the creative process was inspiring for us, as well as everyone who worked alongside him and listened to his music. And his albums and production work speak for themselves. Go give ‘em a spin for him...

Love you mate.

John, Thomas and Tobias
