Supplemental Reading.


Been a while since I did a Supplemental Reading, but here’s this week’s links/videos/items of interest based on topics discussed during last night’s radio show. As always, I’ve attempted to post them in the order they were played on-air. Above, a killer Gray Matter song from a record with much-maligned cover art.

RIP Marion Brown. You should read the “fireside chat” All About Jazz did with Brown in 2003.

The new A Sunny Day In Glasgow record can be downloaded for free here.

Gratis tunes by Times New Viking and Kurt Vile are also there for the taking.

Talented rapper Eyedea, dead at 28.

Daylong Valleys Of The Nile have posted their entire demo online.

Here’s a link for the live Chord performance “Tristan Chord.”

This week’s links/videos/items of interest based on topics discussed during last night’s radio show. As always, I’ve attempted to post them in the order they were played on-air. Above, the teaser trailer for Channel 4’s miniseries “This Is England ’86.”

Download the debut recordings from former Bedhead, The New Year and Saturnine members Death Culture At Sea.

The documentary “You Weren’t There” greatly influenced this week’s show.

Grab a new Speed The Plough recording and a gratis song from the latest Robert Scott solo effort.
