DJ Setlist: PRINCE – A Tribute Night, Meow, Friday, April 29, 2016

It was a tribute night to the Purple One following the news that’s still so hard to take even as it continues to sink in, and the loss seems more astounding by the day. I teared up this afternoon rewatching the clip of Prince slaying all with his solo at the end of the all-star […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1036

Andy Summers/Robert Fripp, Bewitched (1984) I hadn’t thought about his album in a long time – much less listened to it.
