I like this show.
I´m scared of the Quibi, because I´m an old man, but the pandemic has scuttled Quibi´s plans for world domination.
Elliott Smith on The Jon Brion Show
Better than we deserve, surely. Includes Waterloo Sunset, Jealous Guy, and Nighttime.
VH1 passed on this concert, and it stayed hidden for over a decade until showing up on the netwebs. Story here.

Little Wing, Take #2
Sound engineer Eddie Kramer describes Hendrix in studio. Chas Chandler tells Jimi to dial it back a notch and he’s all “ok man, cool.” Apologies for about 30 seconds of unnecessary leader tape. Also: Glockenspiel!
There are a million “How to Play Little Wing” videos. I love this guy because he’s unpretentious, has underlying dread of even attempting the song, and has a typical reaction to Hendrix about 2:00-3:00:
“is there a pattern in this strumming? What’s the pattern? What is happening?”
Sourdoughcumentary
I never realized what a world unto itself sourdough was. First part of a documentary above, and a good article on the world sourdough library here.
All modern recipes begin with a starter, basically a flour-and-water slurry colonized by bacteria and wild, airborne yeasts that eat, breed and exhale carbon dioxide, which helps the bread rise. The tangy taste and brightly acidic smell derive from lactobacilli, cousins of the bacteria that curdle milk into cheese and yogurt. Starters are bespoke to the environments in which they were created; no two sourdoughs taste exactly alike.
These Bastards Again
See you there.
