Glenn Branca live (1978)

For those of you new to Branca, you may want to start with the fairly accessible and trancy composition Lesson 1 for Electric Guitar, originally released on 99 Records as a mini-album, remastered and re-released in 2004 by Dan Selzer’s Acute Records.

Branca turns 59 today.
