Gil Scott-Heron
Gil Scott-Heron is an American legend, and if you're lucky enough to be at Coachella right now you can catch him on the Gobi Stage in an hour (Friday 4/16 @ 6:55pm). The soul music innovator and hip-hop forefather dropped his first record in 1970, and after a 15 year hiatus he's back with a new record, I'm New Here. Dig the video for "Me And The Devil" below, and check out the Gil Scott-Heron Station on soundtrckr for more militant grooviness.

С Днем Рождения Сергей Васильевич Рахманинов!
It's Sergei Rachmaninoff's 137th birthday today. Interesting fact: the virtuosic pianist and last of the Russian Romantics is suspected to have had Marfan syndrome, which pretty much means he was really skinny with super long fingers (hence some of the difficulty people have playing his piano compositions). Fwiw, Bradford Cox of Deerhunter/Atlas Sound fame has it too, and so did Joey Ramone, and probably also Robert Johnson. So hooray for long fingers and happy birthday to Rachmaninoff, who rocked hard.
