Emmett and Mike over on Art Decade have whipped up something of an Alex Chilton and Big Star limousine buffet this past week. You might not want to miss it. A good deal of those tracks (and the odd supporting link) featured are kind of hard to find.
This Loudon Wainright III song - a studio version of the Chilton acoustic segment originally aired on WLIR Radio in 1974 - is just a small taste of what's on offer. I am loving listening to this but it has plunged me into a minor dark night of the soul. The brandy does little to help matters, of course. I will weather the storm. I just have to remind myself to lock away those razor blades.
Excuse me while I go 'pop' some olives. Or make some cheese on toast.
All that's missing is a Gideon's Bible.

Thanks for the shout-out! Always, very appreciated.
Your welcome, Mike. A good deal of Chilton material you featured was new to me; the story of Big Star is a jigsaw puzzle in more than part.
Incidentally, there are some other very interesting Chilton rarities to be found over on Brushback's One Base On An Overthrow.
