For a moment, let's pretend this is just another Easter. We always celebrate with something from our aptly-named musical hero. This year, let's go back to the label compilation Alan Betrock's Shake Records put out in 1981. 'Shake to Date' features, among others, the second-ever A-side from the dB's, solo material from that band's own Peter Holsapple and a couple from Richard Hell & the Voidoids. Here's one of two songs Mitch contributed...
I would be remiss if not mentioning since last Easter Mr. Easter was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame. Here's a nice bio that organization put together for the occasion. Belated congratulations, Mitch!
There he is. I hope you and the family are keeping safe and well during these insane times and I'm heartened to find your Easter tradition is maintained in the face of such adversity. Take care my friend.
Only just noticed this post Brian! Sorry to be so late but good to see you here again. I was reassured also by your presence in mine and other blogs' comment boxes :-)
I'm here, John. I'm still stopping in to your place when I can.
No worries, C. Yes, I am still keeping an eye on the blogs, but I'm so bogged down with teaching school to my kids that I have little energy to do much else.
All mp3s posted at LTL! are to highlight music you should buy... right now. Sure, give it a listen, but then run to your nearest indie record shop and pay up. Mp3s are linked for a limited time. Rants and raves to lineartrackinglives@gmail.com.

Happy Easter, Brian. Hope you're staying safe in these uncertain times.
It’s good to see that in these troubled times that some traditions are still being maintained Brian!
Stay safe
Welcome back Brian. Was becoming a bit concerned about your absence.
Thanks for popping in, fellas. Much appreciated.
He's risen.
