Not the singer. Lover of music, the moving image and clearing/administering the rights that make it all go together. No, I’m not listening to your demo or Soundcloud

If you are looking to get your mind onto something creative, interesting, inspiring, PBS has a new doc on Edna Lewis who, despite knowing a bit about her, I didn't know she really originated the "farm to table" movement, having mostly heard Alice Waters be credited. www.kcrw.com/culture/show...

Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer :: Different Rooms aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/06/20/j... Jeremiah Chiu and Marta Sofia Honer follow their 2022 collaboration with Different Rooms, an ambient collage record that once again unites the worlds of cosmic jazz and modular synthesis.

Every great late 60s/70s suspense film with a romantic subplot has at least one scene featuring a trip to the farmer’s market some kinda way

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

I found out about this last year and have watched people open substacks left and right. Like... Are y'all not aware of what happens when you give Nazis money? Please look around.

Drives around, appreciative of jacaranda trees, subwoofers and this song youtu.be/sELR5SLXABI?...

All I have left is AquaFit class, trying not to get hung up in the machines at the gym, walks and endless resume edits/recruiter loops/LinkedIn malaise. Just burnt.

"It’s “the visceral sense of waking up in an alternate timeline with a deep, bodily knowing that something isn’t right – but having no clear idea how to fix it”, Harfoush tells me"

Deserves more time than it ever got youtu.be/-wgCV-1MAeE?...

I just saw a skeet saying “Oh Sheila” by Ready for the World is 40 years old today and now I want to lie down for a completely different reason

"Sinners" has made $161 million at the box office, but residents of Clarksdale, Mississippi, where the film is based, are unable to see it because there are no open theaters in town. The Mississippi Delta town launched a petition in hopes of hosting a screening. capitalbnews.org/clarksdale-r...

it took you this long?

S.O.S. Band’s catalog is finally back on DSPs. A small miracle to wake up to this morning

Today I resumed my pre-pandemic efforts at weightlifting so that I’ll be ready to throw Those People into the bushes whenever the opportunity presents itself.

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.” So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

In the middle of this one now, and it’s so great.

I know that it’s old news, but every now and then I spend a few minutes thinking about how crazy it is that this even happened www.nytimes.com/2020/04/18/n...

As someone who grew up idolizing independent record labels like Dischord and Matador I was fascinated (in a sad way) by this @nicksylvester.bsky.social piece on the diminished role of the indie in today’s music industry smartdumb.substack.com/p/what-is-th...

Thread of coverage of the insane emails that the psychotic "director" of the Kennedy Center sent to the awesome guitarist Yasmin Williams www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

…and it’s been this way for a while now. Bet you’d be surprised by how many members of Congress and other Federal bodies have substantial shares of stock in private prisons.

a duty-free guillotine company, is that anything?

Feeling liberated like when Wile E. Coyote looks down and realizes he's liberated by gravity.

Insult to injury is all the articles and writings on how millennials won’t grow up etc written by the same people who have clung to all the wealth, opportunities, and housing and have boxed many of us out.

The first band that creates a track called “Tall People To the Back” and opens every set with it could create a loyal fan base off rip At the Beak> show feeling surrounded by NBA-height longhairs. Short people like motorik too!

In 2016, I worried that the US would soon be destroyed. So for the next eight years, I took my kids everywhere I could so they'd know their country firsthand. We drove in every direction to see things from all sides. Our story is a book, and I hope you'll preorder: www.thelastamericanroadtrip.com

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

Attn. freelancers: I saw this in the @studyhall.bsky.social opportunities newsletter and figured I'd share. unitedsetc.com/ubs/itocredits

don’t know who needs to see this but: you may be waiting to start That Thing bc things aren’t great right now. But also remember: either it’ll get better and therefore it’s fine to start now, or things will be worse and it’ll be ever harder do to *anything* but only you can weigh those odds

Frankly would like to read this now!

It should terrify everyone that a green card holder was black bagged and disappeared to Louisiana simply for having opinions this administration dislikes. They're building the prisons and camps to do it to citizens. The time to stand up to this is now.

I still want to know WHY the 2016 remaster got rid of the stellar version of “It’s Gonna Be Me” with strings. It just is not the same album to me without it.

I also wanna know who programmed their interstitial music, because we just went from The Fifth Dimension to Afrika Bambaataa to Enya to Thin Lizzy and absolutely no one in the crowd at this nu metal show has blinked

Came to see Deftones. At least ten other Black women in here, it’s a win

My @intlanthem.bsky.social bag, best bag to travel with! @jocelynmbrown.bsky.social 🙏❤️

Chicago is “a cradle of the avant-garde, thanks to institutions like Sun Ra’s Arkestra, established there in the early 1950s, and the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, a seed-sowing collective that celebrates its 60th anniversary this spring” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/a...

They’re forcing federal workers back to offices that are going to disappear. Why? Because they’re shutting the government down. Permanently. People made fun of me for saying this a month ago. But here we are. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

To appreciate how the US has changed, watch these classic movies. - The Post - All the President’s Men - Hidden Figures - American President - Dave - Apollo 13 - Good Night & Good Luck - Imitation Game - Spotlight - Wag the Dog - Die Hard With A Vengeance The world they depict is unimaginable now.

If you’re able to download your immunization records and your social security statement, now might be a good time to do that before they disappear
