Inspired by my recent DJ set at the National Gallery of Art’s Ice Skating Rink here’s a little known gem from Pittsburgh’s Crack the Sky. “Ice” is on their eponymous 1975 release.

Song of the Day: Trifle “Home Again”

Neville C. 10:10 am on November 19, 2012November 19, 2012

Trifle were a horn-driven prog rock band from the UK with jazz chops and R&B sensibilities. “Home Again” comes from their only album.

I picked “Home Again” because its Thanksgiving week and I just LOVE this song.
