THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

...with MOBY GRAPE! Listen, my friends... the band was largely a victim of corporate overhype and Skip Spence's madness, but their self-titled debut album is really solid. So here we have "Omaha" and "8:05" from the Mike Douglas Show, plus "Hey Grandma" and "Sitting By The Window" from a trippy documentary. "It's a Beautiful Day Today" isn't from the debut, but is still very nice.  And "Dark Magic," performed in the movie The Sweet Ride, is a heavier vibe altogether.
