It’s been noted that 1976's "Transfiguration" is a culmination, and a sort of completion of the body of work Alice Coltrane had been building since 1967. The title track from the eponymous live album (not released until 1978) was purposely titled to mark the beginning of Coltrane’s spiritual based . . .

Consider this a PSA. Our brother in arms, Ghost Capital, is back online with a super fresh new look. I'll let you mosey around on your own, only to point out that the front page is presently highlighting a myriad of goods including vinyl rips of Exuma's 1970 debut and sophomore joint, Exuma II.

When it comes to the greatest twin-guitar teams from the late 70s/early 80s, you’ve got three options: the buzzsaw glory of Verlaine and Lloyd in Television; the mathematical jangle of Glenn Mercer and Bill Million in the Feelies; or the Beefheart-meets-Byrds-meets-Barrett majesty of Robyn Hitchcock and Kimberley Rew in The Soft Boys. The latter duo’s intoxicating interplay is on full display during this 1980 gig, as Hitchcock and co. blaze through tracks from their then-brand new masterpiece, Underwater . . .

This one's 2am with a matte black finish. The Organizsation's take on the traditional blues holler done up in the hands of mid-sixties young blues freaks and jazzbos. A tonic by the way of The Graham Bond Organization's The Sound of 65.

It's been more than half a century since John Fahey made his first recordings, kicking off what he called the "American Primitive" or Takoma School of acoustic guitar playing -- a movement that today appears to be as vibrant and vital as ever. Fahey still casts a long shadow, of course, but the music is a constantly growing and changing thing, with creative young guitarists like Daniel Bachman and William Tyler injecting new life and veterans like Don Bikoff and Harry Taussig emerging from the mists of obscurity. Somewhere in between, you'll find solo guitar practitioners like Glenn Jones . . .

Reading about Henry Flynt can be a little intimidating. The guy is described as an "avant garde minimalist" and "anti-art activist," and is often mentioned in the same breath as LaMonte Young, Tony Conrad and the Fluxus movement. Flynt himself says: ""I aspire to a beauty which is ecstatic and perpetual, while at the same time being concretely human and emotionally profound." None of this should scare you off. Flynt's music is very, very fun, as demonstrated fully by his chooglin' avant-hillbilly double LP Graduation, freshly reissued on wax by

A clutch of North Carolina albums have been on my mind of late. Hiss Golden Messenger’s Haw is the third corner of a triangle that started with the solitary winter blues of 2010’s Bad Debt and more full-flowered folk-rock of Poor Moon in 2011. The three albums cover a similar surface area, a haunted little patch of earth that I’m often wary to get too close to. It’s funny: a friend of mine . . .

New York, New York: that’s one hell of a shadow you cast. The classic image of the city – that dark and terrifying Sodom where lawlessness and creativity join in a thrilling dance, the place where anything awful is possible and where people get off on that very possibility – it looms over the psyche of alienated teenagers everywhere. The promise of so much chaos and unchecked weirdness testifies to a strange kind of romance and freedom. Make it there and you can make it anywhere, sure, but if you make it there – as in, if you can physically get . . .
