Beautiful piece on our main man Ron Hall in today’s paper. Gone but not forgotten!! We miss Ron and his never-ending cache of great stories.

What happens when the collector dies and leaves his stash behind?

Nice to see friend of the city Ben Vaughn make a rare appearance performing in the city where he shares his excellent radio show on WEVL. Swapping stories about playing the Antenna Club (while across the street) and debuting new Lana Del Ray songs, his show was a nice summer novelty treat. Check out his excellent genre-busting radio show

If you don't have a pool, the only cool thing to do this time of year is to go to Burke's Book Store. They have free air conditioning and re-stocks on all Ron Hall's books!!! Thank you for almost 40 years of support of our books & releases!!! Look for the Elvis stand-up!

Quick Sunday Kreature Comforts Fun Fact: Memphis has lost too many great burgers in the last 5 years...too many to list. The Bettie Melt at downtown Wiseacre Brewery is a welcome addition. Closest analog is the Texas patty melt at Elwoods. Highly recommended. No pics. Just go eat one.

Another Stellar Stereo Session from our friends of the label WYXR Radio! This one was for the classic Scruffs' record Wanna Meet the Scruffs!! Great talk with honest rapport from Zac Ives, Hot Tub Plumley, & (sometime!) Scruffs' bassist Rick Branyan. Kreature Comforts Fun Fact: the Scruffs toured with Johnny Thunders!
