Only found this out yesterday, sad news. Heard Electric Byrd for the first time at the weekend, that is one great record.

guess it was only a one day thing? soundcloud now says: "This playlist has no sounds"

tylerw, Tuesday, 26 February 2013 21:18 (twelve years ago)

Yeah, weird. I thought it was gonna stay up for longer than that. I emailed the guy I know at Blue Note to find out if it was gonna be commercially released, he said he didn't know. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a physical release, though.

誤訳侮辱, Tuesday, 26 February 2013 21:59 (twelve years ago)

yeah, that's what i was thinking.
