That Haze article is so great. They played one of my junior high dances, back when they were Purple Haze. (And why the hell wouldn't Cheapo just take boxes of free records? Seems like just Concert For Bangladesh and the first Pink Floyd LP would have made it worth their while.)

Yeah, I've been meaning to post that Gojohnnygo post, which is AMAZING. That's Jimmy Jam's band Mind & Matter.
