College Tour Volume One: The Complete Nothing Is...by Sun Ra, released on ESP Disk in 2010.

In 1966 ESP-Disk’s founder Bernard Stollman put together a multi-artist tour of five New York colleges and sent audio engineer David B. Jones on the road with it. Forty-four years later, Sun Ra archivist Michael D. Anderson pieced together some missing parts of the New York College Tour. Recorded on May 18th 1966 at St. Lawrence University in Potsdam, NY, this illuminating document represents the full 70-minute first set, from which Nothing Is... was taken. In addition, Anderson uncovered a partial second set from the same evening and some rare rehearsal footage recorded during a sound check before the concert. The over 90 minutes of additional material includes the rarely performed ‘State Street’ and alternate versions of ‘Theme of the Stargazers’ and ‘The Second Stop Is Jupiter’..

Having the name "Epstein" these days has now become worse than having the name "Karen." Praise Jehovah that there's no scandal associated with Baron Ignatious VinylAssaultVehicle (yet)! So until that happens, enjoy this week's Vinyl Assault Vehicle SHAME FREE! https://bit.ly/VAV072325

It's obvs that Drumph is a pedo so keep making him squirm. But here at Vinyl Assault Vehicle there's only one EPSTEIN that merits a place in our pantheon of greatness because WE KNOW HE WOULD HAVE LISTENED. Be that kind of Epstein and listen to this week's Vinyl Assault Vehicle: https://bit.ly/VAV071625

This has become my favourite album to listen to at the start of the weekend.

I haven't been posting here much the last several weeks because I was participating in #PortlandMusicProducers’ June "A Song A Day" challenge. I compiled 20-second clips of all 30 of my songs here, which includes genres like #FreeJazz, #ExperimentalMusic, #Noh / #能楽, #EDM, even #KPop! Perhaps the most surprising thing about this was it made me realize how much I enjoy doing experimental #music, and I def have plans to do more in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAUkWaspByg

I'm still collecting finger shards from the 4th of July weekend so we've got an archival version of Vinyl Assault Vehicle for this week, flashing back to the blissfully stress-free(?) date of July 5, 2017: https://bit.ly/VAV070925

The MAGA Murder Budget will probably cost you YOUR LIFE but a listen to the latest Vinyl Assault Vehicle will cost you NOTHING except a shattering of your pre-conceived notions of what good radio can be: https://bit.ly/VAV070225
VOTE VINYL, CRUSH MURDER BUDGIES!
(Happy B-Day Mick Jones also!)

This week's Vinyl Assault Vehicle is a retro-tastic show originally broadcast on June 28, 2017. Do you know what was happening on June 28, 2017? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING except this ultra-fine radio program. Relive the (mostly) voided nothingness and radio somethingness. https://bit.ly/VAV062525 #Resist

"Moholo-Moholo’s sense of freedom extended to a refusal to rehearse before a gig. 'I’ll meet you at the gig.'"
