Out Now! Jon Strongbow - Music For Intense Cities
1993 reissue of cassette-only release by the late Jon Strongbow — groovin’ instrumentals that show the way to his Mystery School releases. Recently rediscovered and then remastered by the always mighty Steve Turnidge. Eight instrumental unes. At first I thought these tracks had already been released on one of Jon’s Mystery School albums. Nope. Fresh from 1991-92. I really like this one – never heard it when it was released and it is pretty damn cool. 100% of proceeds go to charity.
Tom Dyer's Green Monkey Noize on Substack
Green Monkey Records has been releasing beautifully weird, wonderful, homegrown Pacific NW music since 1983. Founder Tom Dyer writes, plays, records, mixes, and releases much of it from his home studio in Olympia — solo, with his True Olympians, plus music from an always evolving cast of local artists who don’t much fit in elsewhere. Underground rock. Unusual folk. Forgotten Oly Jazz. A deep pile of jolly Christmas stuff. Plus Richard Peterson. No unneeded polish, no apologies, just truth and beauty and love. Thanks for listening – your support is always appreciated!
