Stonehenge Playlist 03-19-10 - Alex Chilton RIP

This week began on a sad note, as we said goodbye to Alex Chilton of the Box Tops and Big Star, who died on March 17. We didn't have time for a Classic Rock Album this week, but you bet we'll be digging into some of Alex's rich back catalogue in the weeks to come.

Here's one of my favorite Big Star songs, 'Give Me Another Chance' from #1 Record (I'm not just putting this up here because it has gorgeous mellotron, but it doesn't hurt!):
