I don't know about you, but I can't get enough of square pegs, and few are less fit for a round hole than Sun Ra. He had a total disregard for convention, did whatever the hell he wanted, and he had the talent to back it up. Totally out there. Yesterday would have been Sun Ra's 100th birthday, so Big Rock Candy Mountain. posted four cuts. So what the hell, I rounded up some other choice stuff, including a couple from his Batman cash-in that featured him with Blues Project, about as "normal" as he got. (Those are for Isak, the eleven year old from Norway who did a class project on Moondog, and happens to dig any song with Batman in the title.) If you're not familiar with His Spaciness, check his feature length film, Space Is The Place, in all of it's crazy ass glory.
