Musicological banter

So my favored evil music streaming service creates, sorry curates a weekly playlist especially for me which usually has the most random collection of genres

Today I got a Outkast track followed by a Mozart piano sonata… but wait here’s a Dr Dre joint

Now I get Vivaldi Four Seasons followed by Screaming Trees

Back in the day (ok, pre covid), I always used Pollstar to find concerts for the city in which I was currently travelling or working. Now it looks like they don't provide that information, even as a subscriber, unless I am missing something. What sites do you use to find this information?

Try either  Songkick.com or Bandsintown.com.. both should  have the same info, but I prefer the layout of Songkick and it gives in some cases how a show is selling

Any Dead Heads out there?  This is quite the treasure...

Not a Deadhead but did see them at the Spectrum in Philly in mid 1980's and was at the Petty/Dylan/Dead show at RFK.  I would also occasionally go to Deadhead night on Sundays at the Marble Bar in Baltimore.

Most local shows, 88-95. Plus solo shows, satellite shows and ephemera.

Who knew world class reggae music came from Arlington?!?


A band that formed at Yorktown High School in Arlington is now a Grammy winner.

SOJA, also known as Soldiers of Jah Army, won the Grammy for Best Reggae Album for their 2021 release Beauty in the Silence, following two prior nominations in the same category.

Looks like many if not most of the tracks on The Clash bootleg "Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg" are getting an official with the forthcoming deluxe re-issue of "Combat Rock".  Haven't seen a good run down of which of the rare tracks are those demos, etc  that are included in the bootleg and what is called The Clash's lost album.  The forthcoming release is called "Combat Rock/The People's Hall".

Some of the tracks from the bootleg have been given new names i.e. The Fulham Connection’ (previously known as ‘The Beautiful People Are Ugly Too’).

It's annoying that the two tracks done with  Ranking Roger at the time are being released on a separate 7" and not included as part of even the CD release.  I saw these tracks called unheard, but have been readily available on YouTube for awhile.

Of course be sure to order the Target exclusive of the album on Red Vinyl

this annoyed me too, not sure why they didn't include it
or have some special package that included it
can't say I'm too excited about this eventhough i love that stuff
