Because sharing is caring and we can't pour everything into our episodes, here are a few musical things we came across on the wonderful worldwide web.
- So Gram Parsons played a role in a trippy science fiction cult film called Saturation 70. Next to the 5 year old son of Rolling Stones Brian Jones! Read all about it in The Guardian.
- Craig saw Get On Up, the bio pic on James Brown, and thought it was ffffunky. Get your groove on with this trailer.
- Jordi waltzed into the new year, because that's what they do in Vienna. Little did he know, this tradition has a pretty dark side. Read all about it.
- Van Morrison made a little revival in our lives. Especially his 26th studio album Healing Game.
- Jordi got an amazing book for Christmas: Hotel California - Singer-Songwriters and Cocaine Cowboys in the LA Canyons, 1967-1976. It's an impressive collection of anecdotes, drawn from interviews with stars like Linda Ronstadt, ex-lovers of David Crosby and people who just hung around to crash some parties. Check it out!
- White guys playing soul music accidentally created an enormous legacy back in the days in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Is this the birthplace of R&B? After seeing this inspiring trailer, Craig immediately rented the documentary on Amazon and was blown away. It's all he talks about, most of the time.
PS: Just so you know, we're aiming to bring out a new episode in February. It will involve one of our favourite singers ever. O, we can't wait!
