Photos of the biggest rock stars of the seventies off the stage

Aún era un chaval. Esa primera fotografía de David Bowie me cambió la vida por completo. Antes de hacerla, una vocecita en mi cabeza me decía, "Esto puede salirte mal y la gente te va a juzgar", pero a pesar de todo, tuve los cojones de hacerlo. Cuando eres joven, simplemente coges aire y te lanzas. Después de que la foto apareciera en Creem, el buzón se me llenó de ofertas. Luego terminé las clases en el instituto, hice el curso preuniversitario y me matriculé en Cal State Northridge. Al final dejé los estudios porque tenía muchísimo trabajo y no podía con todo. -- VICE Español (in Spanish)

Aijia Grammer Says She And Husband Andy Can’t Wait to Meet Their Favorite Person! (Interview)

Aijia’s hands-on husband has been very caring and supportive throughout her journey, comparable to how she’s been there for him throughout his music career. Before Andy’s well-deserved accomplishments came into being she was, and still is, the constant throughout his musical voyage. In fact, she and Andy, both musicians, met back when they were music students at Cal State Northridge. “… We had the same group of friends and the music community is pretty small. We were just friends for many years… He would sing backup on my stuff, and I would sing backup on his stuff. And we would write together, and he was like my buddy.” Romance blossomed for them years later after college, and now they are both sharing in a new love that will be delivered to them any day now. -- Tinseltown Mom

Alex Cline’s Flower Garland Orchestra – Oceans of Vows – Cryptogramophone

Oceans of Vows entails a two-hour suite broken into two parts (hence, two discs), with each part consisting of five movements inspired and/or enclosing Buddhist writing and poetry, comprising four poems by Buddhist teacher and Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, as well as excerpts from the Buddhist text known as the Avatamsaka Sutra (the title is translated into English as Flower Garland Sutra, therefore the name of Cline’s orchestra). This expansive material was initially offered in a live performance at California State University, Northridge’s Plaza del Sol Concert Hall in October, 2015 through a grant awarded to Cline in early 2015. Cline subsequently went into the studio for two days of recording at Bridge Recorders in Glendale, CA. -- Audiophile Audition
