Hi. I'm Lars Gotrich. I do a lot of things for NPR Music. I enjoy metal, fun-killer noise, effusively joyful pop music and beer. Sometimes I make mixtapes as DJ Gold Locks.
That’s got to be Eric Dolphy – nobody else could sound that bad! The next time I see him I’m going to step on his foot. You print that. I think he’s ridiculous.
RIP Pete Cosey. Miles Davis wouldn’t have had much of an electric period without him… at least not one worth noting. Watch the guitarist overtake Miles himself around 5 minutes into this live video from 1973.
