Several years ago I was visiting my old girlfriend in Angers, France. There I stumbled upon this gem of a 7". I seriously want to know how much money George Lucas got for the licensing on this. It was made in 1977 for CBS Records and it is the dreadful band Galaxy 42 singing a disco version of the Star Wars theme. It doesn't get any better than this. Enjoy. Galaxy 42 - Star Wars Theme (Disco Version) [MP3] And in case you were wondering, the B-Side was the Dynamite Band w/ "She's Dynamite" It really stinks.

Here in the states today, PJ Harvey releases a Peel Sessions album (it has been out in the UK for several weeks now). I'm really happy whenever any Peel sessions come to official release, but news of this album feels unfortunate, as it is only one disc and only contains a handful of the sessions. Harvey recorded 10+ sessions for Peelie, why not release them all for Christ's sake? But instead of just bitching about it, let's share some of what was left off the album. On May 20th, 2004, Harvey played Peel Acres and here is the stellar session, none of which made the album. Enjoy everyone. PJ Harvey - Peel Acres Session 05/20/04 MP3 Format 01. The Letter 02. Uh Huh Her 03. Cat on the Wall 04. Evol 05. Shame + John's closing remarks

Very sad news today. The lead singer of one of the greatest bands in rock history has left us. Arthur Lee died in Memphis Thursday. His band Love is considered by many to be an influential catalyst for the West coast sound of the late 1960's. The number of creative people his music influenced is incalculable.Several of my favorite Love songs are below. Peace and love to the soul of Arthur Lee. Love - A House is Not a Motel [1967] Love - Stephanie Knows Who [1967] Love - Hey Joe [1966]
