The sorta-bad news is that as a result, I don&#8217;t have a review to post today. But I would like to take a moment to thank all of my loyal readers \u2013 viewership of this blog is waaaaay up of late \u2013 and give a quick preview of what&#8217;s coming soon:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>John McLaughlin<\/strong> \u2013 famed jazz\/rock\/progressive\/fusion guitarist has a new album (<em>Now Here This<\/em>), as new tour (coming to Asheville&#8217;s Orange Peel in June) and \u2013 best of all for me \u2013 a conversation with me less than two hours from now. Look for a feature\/interview very soon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rudi Protrudi<\/strong> \u2013 The leader of legendary garage rock revivalists <strong>The Fuzztones<\/strong> recently put together an odds-and-sods 2cd collection of rarities called <em>Snake Oil<\/em>. I recently spoke at length with Rudi about this and all sorts of other things. Feature\/interview soon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stick Men<\/strong> \u2013 Three giants of progressive rock: bassist\/stick man <strong>Tony Levin<\/strong> (also of <strong>King Crimson<\/strong> and thousands of session dates), <strong>Pat Mastelotto<\/strong> (also of Crim, <strong>Mr. Mister<\/strong> and countless prog projects) and touch guitarist <strong>Markus Reuter<\/strong> have a new album, <em>Deep<\/em>. I&#8217;m talking to all three of &#8217;em(!) and will have a feature soon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bill Spooner<\/strong> \u2013 The guitarist of <strong>The Tubes<\/strong> for all of their classic era releases (the beginning through the mid 80s) took time with me to do a track-by-track discussion of two of their 70s LP, <em>Now<\/em> and <em>Young and Rich<\/em>). Look for that fascinating discussion here soon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Opeth<\/strong> \u2013 I saw the Swedish death\/prog quintet onstage last week, and my feature\/review \u2013 including an interview with drummer <strong>Martin Axenrot<\/strong> \u2013 will be out very soon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Howard Kaylan<\/strong> \u2013 The witty and engaging Kaylan (also known as \u201cEddie,\u201d as in <strong>Flo and Eddie<\/strong>) came to fame as lead singer of <strong>The Turtles<\/strong>, then with Flo\/The Phlorescent Leech\/<strong>Mark Volman<\/strong>, and with <strong>Frank Zappa&#8217;s Mothers<\/strong>. His new autobiography <em>Shell Shocked<\/em> is a riveting and hilarious must-read. I&#8217;ll be chatting with him about it soon, and that feature will be here soon too.<\/li>\n<li>Other stuff \u2013 There are dozens of CDs, DVDs, records and books on my desk, all in the \u201cyes\u201d pile (you should see the \u201cno\u201d pile). So, lots of reviews to come.<\/li>\n<li>And even more other stuff \u2013 I hope to make a big announcement soon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Again, thanks for reading, and please tell your friends if you like what you find here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/the_musoscribe\">Follow \u201cthe_musoscribe\u201d on <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/musoscribe.com\/images\/icon_twitter_small.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"1\" vspace=\"0\" \/> Twitter<\/a> and get notified<br \/>\nwhen new features, reviews and essays are published.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The good news is: there&#8217;s quite a lot in the hopper over here at Musoscribe World Headquarters.
