HIGH END Munich 2019

High End Munich 2019, Here We Come!

April 30, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

My Axpona laundry is nearly done, most of the Schaumburg has worn off the souls of my shoes, and my bag is unpacked and ready to be re-packed for the big trip over an ocean and a sea.

Marred for Life!: Defaced Record Covers from the Collection of Greg Wooten

April 29, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

What’s not to love. A picture book reproducing over 250 defaced, or is that re-faced?, record covers  from the collection of Greg Wooten.

Music News: Trout Mask Replica 2xLP Reissue! (!!!)

April 27, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band created a double LP of pure Magic with their 1969 release Trout Mask Replica. By my estimation, it is one of my favorite records. But don’t just take my word for it.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Sly & The Family Drone

April 26, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

I hear a big dollop of Machine Gun. A Brötzmann attack served up by James Allsop’s baritone saxophone with pounding percussion as its main foil and electronic crush to fill in the blanks. There is nothing gentle about the band’s new record Gentle Persuaders just […]

April 25, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

spewedition is a publishing collective comprised of Japanese photographers/artists Daisuke Yokota, Naohiro Utagawa, and Koji Kitagawa. They publish the kind of thing I most enjoy—multimedia extravaganzas to have and hold and hear.

April 25, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

Classic Albums: Giacinto Scelsi, Natura Renovatur

April 24, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

Of all the personal discoveries made during my multi-year quest through the Tower Records Contemporary Classical department, two composers stand out from the rest: Morton Feldman and Giacinto Scelsi. If I saw something new from either, it was mine and I’d rush back to my […]

Axpona 2019: Photo Gallery

April 23, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

Smoke ’em if you got ’em. I snapped 455 photos during 3 days at Axpona 2019 (plus some Polaroids). You’ve already seen a bunch. Here are some more. I’m visually oriented so I care about how things look. YMMV.
