BIG MUFF

Tina & Chris deserve way more credit for being able to pull off this song.

Nobody should ever ever ever front on Carol Kaye.

My mind is on Swedish music this morning.

I love that there is always fresh to my ears beautiful old music to be discovered.

There’s something that resonates inside of me with the sound of screaming guitars. Thanks Mick.

jesus christ man.. i gotta take some lessons.

Ready on the Line

Check it out! Week 2. Juan Alderete makes it to the front page of BIG MUFF. He is obviously doing something right.

I gotta tell you that this new Big Sir album is THE SHIT. You need to be listening to music like this right now. Hurry Hurry.. I’ll wait..

Takeshi Inomata. Musicians not enough people are talking about post number 10,000.

International playboy Mark Ronson links up with Ms. Medulla Oblongata, Zigaboo and Ticklah.. over a Nawlin’s style shuffle led by the Dapkings Horns in primetime HD.Talk about an unlikely ultimate team-up!

The Donbota himself 8-bits and Pattysaurus just knocked out another killer set of sweet music. This time focusing on that special music to make babies to (something they know a little something about).

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY EVERYBODIES!!

I know I posted this here on Big Muff before (because it truly is a rare anomaly in music), but I think now’s a bit more befitting. I wasn’t too big a Whitney Houston fan to be honest, but it sucks to see any gifted artist die.

This song is actually her first lead recording, and it was with the experimental jazz funk band called Material led by Bill Laswell. It was written by Soft Machine’s Roadie turned Bass player, Hugh Hopper (RIP).

This post is dedicated to you Whitney (RIP), but you weren’t listening..

I did not know you very well my friend. Though I have been told by many that you are one of the most important Argentinean rockers of all time. It is however a shame to see you go. I know how terrible and wonderful and lonely and fulfilling it can be to be an artist. So let’s hope you found your happiness on this miserable earth.

un cordial saludo,

- Diego

My friend SoulMarcosa’s recent record auction reminded me of a great song from a band that you don’t hear much about.

Some of you (none of you) will probably recognize this song from that immortal psychedelidc scene starring one young Mr. Angelina Jolie’s daddy in Midnight Cowboy.

Don’t know much about this NYC band, besides all the googled information that points this band showing great promise working with John and Yoko.. Yes, that John and Yoko. Who knows what happened with all of that, but the song that blows me away is Old Man Willow..

Very forward thinking music that absolutely influenced the Trish Keenan (RIP) fronted Broadcast. Elephant’s Memory made this incredibly moody psych song that somehow burns in your memory.

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anybody talking about this band. Perfect music for extended day dreaming.

After all these years.. still one of my favorite bands. Eagerly waiting for Noctourniquet and Crypto 2.

I love my taste in music

My homie A1 from the band RNR, has been trying to get me to bug the homie Thesuno to come play VEGAS. I dunno..? You think Vegas would be hype for a People Under the Stairs show?

I think so. Las Vegans, let me know if you want me to make this happen? I’m thinking Aurajin, 8-bit, Expo and Phoreyz on the Decks with People Under the Stairs and RnR @ Insert Coins, House of Blues or The Cosmo.

Still miss ya JOE
