…And thinking about Castle of Fu Manchu led me back to thinking about this theme from a movie I’ve yet to see. (Ray Davies co-penned the song originally. I believe that it offended U.S. radio programmers during the Vietnam War and they refused to play it.)
Leon Bibb was such a good singer. His son Eric is an accomplished Blues artist.
lol. Remember when Lisa Germano and the Calexico/Giant Sand guys did their Rule 63! version of “Sand”? 
Emily Remler (1957-1990) 
Smoove.
Makes me think of Al Di Meola.

Someone who looked concerned in Souptaper.

I’m a fan of Yellow Magic Orchestra and Haruomi Hosono, so of course I’ve been listening to this surprisingly awesome (and funny) cover he did of “Close To You” with Wilco drummer Jim O’Rourke:
It’s interesting how changing all the “you” pronouns to “me” turns this Carpenters chestnut from romantic pining into exaggeratedly hilarious self-adulation 
It’s that song that Servo references a lot!
Korn. For some reason
Last album I purchased on vinyl.
Did I mention Robert made Morrissey cry?
This new gem. Blessed be any fans of MCR in this forum who are finding out about their new single through this thread
