  1. “Bone Music”

    In 1950s Russia, one of the only ways to hear blues, jazz and rock’n’roll from America was to bootleg a record pressed up on a discarded X-ray plate.

    First invented by Ruslan Bogoslowski the bootlegs were pressed on thick radiographs found in hospital bins and then cut into rough discs, sometimes using a cigarette to burn the central hole. Bogoslowski would eventually spend five years imprisoned in Siberia for this innovation. #bonemusic #sovietunion #sovietrussia #bootlegseries

  2. Sunday afternoon & I’m #NowListening to #Fragments, the latest installment from the #BobDylan #BootlegSeries.

    This first disk from the Deluxe 10 LP #vinyl edition is a remix of the #album #TimeOutOfMind.

    I’ve many thoughts regarding the set (mostly positive), but the remix is, for me, a highlight. I don’t see this as replacing the OG, but it does reveal elements otherwise hidden under the #Lanois treatment. This #RyanKSmith cut is spacious, rich & dynamic.
