I will try & keep this brief… Basically I’ve been to South Africa 5 times & I adore your music! I can attest it’s still playing all over there in only the ‘cool joints’ & I was lucky enough to see you in London in 2016. Hope you are well (even though I guess aContinueContinue reading “Rodriguez Fan Message: Long Live Your Gorgeous Music”

Rodriguez Fan Message: In the US, most people still don’t have a clue about him
Just thought I would send a quick note. I am sitting here listening to some Sixto. If not for the movie which I saw in Kuwait in 2016, I doubt I would have ever heard any of his music. In the US, most people still don’t have a clue about him. But I crank hisContinueContinue reading “Rodriguez Fan Message: In the US, most people still don’t have a clue about him”

Rodriguez Fan Message: Has Rodriguez Stopped Touring?
I saw “Searching for Sugarman” in 2013, the year it won the Oscar, and immediately afterwards searched for concert dates. At that time the only tours I could find were in South Africa. I started thinking about Rodriguez today — which turns out to be his birthday! — and again looked for concerts near me.ContinueContinue reading “Rodriguez Fan Message: Has Rodriguez Stopped Touring?”

Rodriguez Fan Message: What an amazing musician!
Just happened to watch Searching for Sugar Man, not only one fascinating back story but what an amazing musician. I’m 69 years old so this is my music. I feel somewhat cheated never being exposed to his gifts until now. Rodriguez has been in Detroit and I’m in southwest Michigan, so close. Please schedule aContinueContinue reading “Rodriguez Fan Message: What an amazing musician!”

Cause, A Thing Of Pure And Honest Beauty
I’m not sure how ‘official’ this site is, but if there’s any way the man himself can know, I owe it to him to say; “‘Cause” is some of the most beautiful and meaningful poetry (and art in general) that I’ve ever experienced. It’s a thing of pure and honest beauty and I thank youContinueContinue reading “Cause, A Thing Of Pure And Honest Beauty”
Rodriguez, Your Music Still Inspires Us Today
Cold Fact Coming From Reality I was listening to Cold Fact & Coming From Reality recently. Your music still inspires us today, so much so that I’m taking the time to write this.

Recycled Vinyl in South Africa
Hi Guys,Basically, my question is: Did South Africa ever use recycled vinyl to press records? And if so, when? (and for how long?)Context: With sanctions in place, would there not have been issues with stock at some point? I remember reading that even the USA recycled vinyl (in the 70s I think) because of aContinueContinue reading “Recycled Vinyl in South Africa”
