Our potluck hors d'oeuvre and dessert extravaganza was as good as always. These include the traditional tasty meatballs and more desserts than one could possibly enjoy in a single evening. Our “hostess- with-the-mostess,” Jean DeMott, supplied the soft drinks and hot wassail again this year and did another terrific job with all the decorations. Thank you, Jean!

So, when the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium stopped calling Pluto a planet, director Neil deGrasse Tyson SS found himself at the center of a firestorm led by angry, Pluto‐loving elementary school students. But what is it about this cold, distant rock that captures so many hearts? NOVA joins Tyson as he follows the amazing story of its discovery and the captivating science that surrounds this former planet, including the possibility of finding more Pluto‐like planets in the mysterious Kuiper Belt, an area of icy rocks at the edge of the solar system. From the scientists trying to classify Pluto to die‐hard Pluto‐philes, Tyson meets a fascinating cast of characters with just one thing in common: Strong opinions about Pluto. Based on Tyson's book of the same name, The Pluto Files is an exciting and entertaining look at the solar system's best‐loved non‐planet.

Each NFT features 2 minutes and 30 seconds of previously unreleased music with animation created by Eric Livingston. The purchasers will also receive a hyper limited- edition (1 of 4) lathe cut vinyl featuring the full 10-minute song and high resolution animated mp4. “Disco Volante Era Improv at The Bomb Factory” lathe cut vinyl (limited-edition of 4) “During the Disco Volante writing sessions in a place we called The Shotwell Bomb Factory, San Francisco, we were blessed with an isolated & independent place to record and rehearse,” explains Trevor Dunn. “Endless days and nights were spent in there experimenting, improvising and piecing together what would be our ‘sophomore attempt’ among other gems. Often there was an ADAT machine ready to go for any spontaneous outbursts (think ‘Nothing’ from the end of Disco Volante), but we tested out various setups at our disposal.” Trey Spruance, who often engineered these chaotic recordings, recalls: “I remember wanting to enhance audio separation and isolation to an extreme, using a kind of ‘musique concrète live mix’ approach, hoping that would capture the unruly individual spirits of our improvisation more faithfully.

    FUNK GUMBO RADIO -- http://www.live365.com/stations/sirhobson Funk Gumbo Radio is greatly honored that the highly talented Kelsey Warren of the veteran indie rock group pILLOW tHEORY is doing our Funk Gumbo 5 Questions. pILLOW tHEORY’’s newly released EP is called MELTDOWN. pILLOW tHEORY BIO: pILLOW tHEORY is a NYC quartet, Kelsey Warren (vocals & guitar), Danos Ettrick (guitar), Joaquin C. De Baca (bass), Rich Kulsar (drums), who delivers a high- powered dynamic sound while successfully genre hopping under the modern rock umbrella (metal, punk, pop, free jazz). pILLOW tHEORY released their sophomore album OUTPATIENCE, recorded by Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, NIN). With Albini, they were able to manipulate their ever-changing moods to blend a sporadic yet cohesive sound. The album displays a delicate balance between heavy and light with change ups that may seem bizarre on paper, but work eloquently in sound. The band just released their new EP titled MELTDOWN, produced by Slim Willy of Ferrari Snowday (The Fray, Ninjasonik, LL Cool J) and Kelsey with additional mixing from sonic master Ron Saint Germain.

  • Tomahawk – Tonic Immobility
    Tomahawk – Tonic Immobility (39:22, CD, Vinyl, Digital, Ipecac Recordings / [PIAS], 2021) Was soll mam noch groß über Mike Patton sagen, das nicht schon gesagt worden wäre? Bekannt geworden als Sänger der Crossover-Legende Faith No More (wo er die Nachfolge von Courtney Love und Chuck Mosley antrat), an deren Durchbruch mit „Angel Dust“ er maßgeblich beteiligt war, fiel der Kalifornier in den letzten 20 Jahren vor allem durch seine Seitenprojekte wie Tomahawk, Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, Dead Cross, Peeping Tom und Tētēma sowie seine Soloalben auf. Dabei machte der Tausendsassa vor kaum einem Genre halt, was darin gipfelte, dass er sich im Jahre 2010 im Rahmen seines „Mondo Cane“-Albums sogar der Interpretation italienischer Schlager und Pop-Perlen der 50er und 60er Jahre widmete. Vor allem im Rahmen dieser Aufnahme stellte Patton ein weiteres Mal unter Beweis, dass er zurecht als einer der vielseitigsten und besten Sänger der Rock- und Popmusik gilt. Doch Patton ist nicht nur Musiker, sonder vor allem auch Künstler, so dass er sich immer wieder die Freiheit nimmt, nicht nur musikalische Experimente zu wagen, sondern vor allem auch mit seinem Sangesorgan zu experimentieren. Das Ergebnis sind dann oft Stücke, die so exzentrisch klingen, dass der künstlerische Ausdruck den musikalischen Genusswert überflügelt. Das hier vorliegende „Tonic Immobility“ ist das mittlerweile fünfte Album von Tomahawk, der 1999 gegründeten Band, die Patton zusammen mit GitarristDuane Denison (The Jesus Lizard), Schlagzeuger John Stanier (Helmet), und Bassist Trevor ‚Field Mouse‘ Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantômas) als Nebenprojekt betreibt. Und um eines gleich vorweg zu nehmen, die neue Tomahawk ist kein Album, vor dem man sich fürchten muss.

  • Stu Brooks – Primary Wave Music
    STU BROOKS instagram.com/stubassiebrooks/ facebook.com/stu.brooks.33 open.spotify.com/playlist/1eRXBTPWtjQ2hiGP9eSSNZ Bass reverberates through the body. The reaction to those root notes and grooves actually manifests physically. Two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated bassist, producer, songwriter, and Dub Trio CoFounder Stu Brooks beckons this response every time he picks up a bass. Sharing the stage or the studio with everyone from Academy® Award winner Lady Gaga, Danny Elfman, Lauryn Hill, 50 Cent, and Mary J. Blige to Mike Patton, Pretty Lights, Mark Guiliana, Slick Rick, and even a posthumous recording for Tupac Shakur, his playing reverberates on an emotional and spiritual level. “I think of it as getting hit with a massive telephone pole to the point where it changes your molecules and affects your body,” he grins. “It takes the wind out of your lungs. I like changing the air in a space. There’s nothing like the reaction when people are struck with sound. I love to play with emotion, but it also has to be a physical experience.” Among his earliest memories as a kid in Toronto, he recalls picking up piano at the age of five. Embracing music from this point on, he tried bass at 13-years-old and never put it down. He eventually caught the attention of Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame bassist Prakash John [Parliament-Funkadelic, Lou Reed, Alice Cooper] who quickly became a mentor. By sixteen, Stu had hit the local club circuit in Toronto, accompanying numerous rock and funk acts. After a summer session at Berklee College of Music on scholarship, he petitioned his high school for early graduation in order to attend Berklee after notably receiving a substantial international scholarship.

    • New 7" record featuring Anonymous 13 and Mike Patton • West Coast co-headlining tour with Dengue Fever • South America tour scheduled for April. After spending years expanding their reach abroad very significantly (see bio below), Secret Chiefs 3 are kicking off 2012 by making good on a promise to return to their home turf on the West Coast — this time in a co- headlining tour with Dengue Fever! They are also spicing up the long trail leading to the release of their long-awaited upcoming album Book of Souls by choosing this moment to release a very special single from that record, which involves some very special musical guests. Le Chanson du Jacky is a fiery three verse chanson written by Jacques Brel. In 1967 the nearly equally inimitable Scott Walker brilliantly re-interpreted Brel’s Chanson in English, to equal parts controversy and acclaim in the Anglosphere. In 2012, both versions of the tune have collided in an Anglo-Franco alliance, Secret Chiefs 3 style. This is an unprecedented stunt, simultaneously ill-advised and absolutely necessary, for a band like Secret Chiefs 3: Traditionalists to undertake — and it’s something that could only be pulled off with someone uniquely qualified to take command of the vocals. And in this day and age, who other than the maestro Mike Patton to do justice (and then some), without insult, to such a preposterously Spartan legacy as that of Brel and Walker? The flipside of this single (“The Western Exile”), exlusive to this release, sees one of the main themes from Secret Chiefs 3’s 2004 album Book of Horizons receiving a thunderhead-evoking spaghetti-seasoned aural marination.
