You know, it’s lovely to see MC5 at this period. The wonderful sound of a band coming apart at the seams in such an amazing way. Without MC5, we would be missing a whole helluva lot in our musical culture. Sonic Youth, your table is ready. MC5 set it for you.

Craig Schumacher is a wonderful engineer and needs some help. He is the owner/operator of WaveLab Studios in Tucson where, among many others, he has recorded; Neko Case, Calexico, DeVotchKa, Animal Collective and Iron and Wine.
Earlier this year Craig was diagnosed with head and neck cancer. His doctors believe that with the proper treatments (which have already begun), he stands a good chance of beating this. The bad news is that the treatments are painful and costly. The out-of-pocket expenses will be enormous, not to mention the fact that there will be periods in which Craig will not be able to work.
Last year, Craig’s wife Karen was diagnosed with breast cancer. Following treatment she is currently cancer-free. Needless to say, these back-to-back cancer diagnoses have been tough on them, emotionally and financially.
Words of encouragement can be sent to Craig privately via email and/or publicly on the Facebook page here. To help out financially, with even a small donation, please donate below:

Mogwai
It’s very well known amongst my friends how much I love the band Mogwai. I look forward to their releases just about as much as I look forward to someone refurbishing Lennon’s DNA and putting him back together circa 1965. Their latest release Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will is streaming over at Rolling Stone(does anyone still read that publication?) and once again, they’ve delivered a monster of an album. Go listen at the Rolling Stone link until release date or better yet, go PREORDER it at SubPop and you will get to stream it there all the while supporting the band by purchasing that super vinyl packaging. You still have a turntable, right?
Anyway, here’s one of my favorite tracks from the album for you to take in immediately:
