Exciting times. New album after 26 years and an aggressive tour for a bunch of old farts like the Jesus Lizard

@mclaincausey thanks for sharing this, was hoping they were going to tour after I saw them on the bill of that fest in Vegas.

@Matt my buddy met the band and told Yow about the first time he saw them in the mid 90s he caught a Yow boot to the head and hasn’t been the same since. Yow: “let’s do it again!”
Said Yow was as manic, unhinged, and awesome today as before.

just finished the first episode of this and it is nothing short of inspiring. What a beautiful story.
Having grown up in the Deep South, it boggles my mind that Stax happened the way it did amid the segregation of the fifties. Long story short, Jim Stewart wanted to make country records and his sister Estelle Axton took a huge risk investing early, mortgaging her home. They ultimately wound up locating their recording studio and record shop in a black neighborhood. Had they been racists as the mainstream white persona was in that time and place, they would have failed in their business and we wouldn’t have heard of them… but because they embraced the local black community and had an open mind about what kind of music they would produce, they were able to tap into an amazing local music scene replete with talent and change music forever.
The Muscle Shoals documentary tells a somewhat similar story and is also well worth a watch, but this first episode got me all emotional—it is that damn good.

Jalen Ngonda - Retro soul vibes, I really recommend giving his album a listen if you have yet to hear it. Perfect for those couple of minutes of sunshine a day we get in the UK right now!
