Random Music Thoughts

The original track list for Explosions In The Sky's second album, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever:

1) Help Us Stay Alive
2) Die
3) Greet Death
4) Yasmin The Light
5) Moon Is Down
6) Plane Will Crash Tomorrow

(Source: my original MP3s from the eMusic music download service)

This track list is not available on the album's Wikipedia page, and indeed there is no indication there that it ever existed.

This is the current track list:

1) Greet Death
2) Yasmin The Light
3) The Moon Is Down
4) Have You Passed Through This Night?
5) A Poor Man's Memory
6) With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept

(Edited to correct current track list.)

When I first discovered this, I wondered if this was an actual Mandela Effect, but now I just think the band was tired of the attention they got from conspiracy theorists over the album's foreshadowing of 9/11 (The album was originally released on Sept. 4, 2001) and so they changed the song names.

Milt Jackson - Sunflower (1973)

Sunflower (Milt Jackson album).jpg


Perhaps my favorite jazz album of the era - as much a showcase for trumpeter Freddie Hubbard as it is for vibraphonist Milt Jackson
No idea why the ostriches on the cover when the album is called Sunflower but it's a fantastic album cover

This might be a lownotes-posting.

It's like having ostriches on the cover of an album entitled Sunflower.

Sorry, I just realized I screwed up the current track list. It's correct now.
 
OjaiSam, do you know anything about this estate administration?

No, but the 2016 settlement agreement is here:


I'll take a look at it and report back. Miriam Makeba was the original trustee of the trust they were fighting about.
