Drummer great Al Foster has died. His credits number several hundred, but it’s his plying with Miles Davis on those killer early to mid 70s albums (studio and live) that stick out for me. Here he is live with MD’s group in 1973. RIP. youtu.be/7Op0sFwKRxY?...

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

Van Motörhead en Iron Maiden wist ik dat er hoesontwerpen bestaan die nogal op elkaar lijken. Daarom kocht ik laatst zonder nadenken de cd Mala Loka dubbel @gijslevelt.bsky.social

Hoe staat het er eigenlijk voor met het afwenden van de voorgenomen btw verhoging op cultuur? Het is verdacht stil op dat vlak, en als ik me goed herinner had dat nu geregeld moeten zijn. Weet @kunsten92.bsky.social misschien meer hierover?

Had this really very nice conversation with pianist Avishai Darash for his Into The Score podcast. We talked about hunters and gatherers, and why I would be so bad at that, and more inspiring music stuff. Watch it here: youtu.be/XhCvcW0KVj8?...

Photo of Jewish musicians from Klyetsk, 1928, not far from Baranavichy. At that time in Poland, today in Belarus. From the YIVO collection, from the 1946 "Journal dedicated our Birthplace Kletzk" by United Kletzker Relief. The Yiddish says "Di 'Kapelie' - Efrim mitn fidl un Asher mitn bas - 1928."

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Geweldige tip van collega Bart Noorman voor als je de audio van een youtubefilmpje wilt downloaden: neem de url en verwijder de letters ube uit die url. Press return en voila! Dus geen special download-app meer nodig. Met instagram werkt de truc ook, dan verwijder je de letters ram uit de url.

Boeren willen compensatie, vuurwerkhandelaren willen compensatie. Ik gun het iedereen van harte hoor. Maar als kunstenaars compensatie willen schreeuwt iedereen altijd dingen als ‘ga maar iets anders doen’, ‘zoek een echte baan’ of ‘tsja, ondernemersrisico’. #tweematen www.trouw.nl/duurzaamheid...
