Hi Gizmo! Ok, Kevin, I think you may be able to guess the artist/album(is that dating myself?) that I think you should feature… Michael Gurley, and his last project Ultrasound.

I noticed on social media that are in the airline trade and was wondering what some of your favourite aviation-themed songs are?

On live music. What artist have you been to see live, didn't expect much of, but instead were blown away? Or has this happened to you?

Is there an album that disappointed you on the first listen but over time and more listens you came to love and understand?

Happy Friday!

I would love to know what your favourite album of all time is and why. But I know it's often tricky to pick just one, so feel free to include 3 or 5. If you prefer not be guided by albums, and more by singles/tracks, I'm interested too! Thanks.

What's a song where you restart it before it ends just to hear the intro again because you love it that much?

A lot of these questions I’m finding myself wanting all the askers answers to them as well! Each one could be a newsletter unto itself.

Here’s mine: what favorite band/artist did you discover because they were the opening act to the band you bought tickets to see? You had not heard their music prior to seeing them live.

Did you ever, er, *borrow* an album from someone? And not give it back? Extra points for justification...

What made you want to start writing about music, and how do you manage to remain so focused and consistent?

Why is it that "nothin' But the Blues" disc jockey from 88.1 FM has never heard of Eddie 'Cleanhead' Vinson's Cleanhead Blues?

If you had the power to reunite any band, who would it be and why?

Hey Kevin -- I tried to add this to the Material Issue post from February (thought putting it here might be better), but it wouldn't let me. I just saw that there is a Material Issue documentary called "Out of Time: The Material Issue Story" screening at Alamo Theater in Los Angeles. I dunno if any of your readers are LA based, but thought I'd share the link. It's gonna have a live Q&A with filmmaker Balin Schneider and the two surviving members of Material Issue: Mike Zelenko and Ted Ansani.
