Tom & Peggy’s kids Gigi & Woody are good friends with my daughter, Addie. Tom & Peggy are, respectively, the creative director and publicist for Drawn & Quarterly and happen to be two of the funniest, sweetest, and straight-up finest people I know. But this is not about that. This is about this: Tom once ran his own comic book company called Highwater Books and it seems there’s a retrospective coming up soon in Boston. Mark it on your calenders, my dear Boston readership, looks like it’s gonna put the ‘fun’ back in ‘defunct’.

Gorgeous. And bring some spending cash, because you’ll be sorry if you don’t.
Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson “We Almost Lost Detroit” (from Bridges 1977)
The Velvet Underground “Ferryboat Bill” (from The Legendary Guitar Amp Tapes recorded in 1969)
Dr. John, The Night Tripper “Danse Kalinda Ba Doom” (from Gris-Gris 1968)
I let my itunes choose what song would be be my 1500 post.
Thumbs Up!
Roxy Music: Love Is the Drug - from Siren, 1975
(via ineedmorecowbell)
Can’t not.
I love at least 85% of this band’s total output. 95% if you count the first few Ferry solo records as Roxy records too.
O.V. Wright “Everybody Knows (The River Song)” (released 1965, appears on Down And Out - The Sad Soul Of The Black South compilation)
Very few things are better than O.V. Wright.
The Girls “Chico’s Girl” (from the Chico’s Girl’/’Dumb Song 7” 1965)
Bert Jansch “Come Sing Me A Happy Song To Prove We All Can Get Along The Lumpy, Bumpy, Long And Dusty Road” (from Birthday Blues 1969)
Moonhearts “I Can Go On” (from Moonhearts 2010)
