There’s a parallel track of tech barons becoming more comfortable w/being openly fascist while their companies push devices that are more and more invasive, and I don’t think it ends with people happily installing these things in their homes, and wearing them on their faces.

Alice Coltrane's show at the Hammer is just gorgeous — and a lesson in the ways in which we can come together to build our own communities. I write about it for this week's Art Insider for @kcrw.com email.kcrw.com/love-grief-a...

Not disappointed in Pod Save America's Bill Maher episode simply because he is an anti-vaxxer homophobe with 1980s jokes, he just makes people stupid—Maher's intellectually lightweight fake edgy brand makes people stupid. @thenation.com got this right years ago www.thenation.com/article/cult...

Hypnotic, timeless, beautiful piece. And that lineup—Bob James, Idris Muhammad, Joe Farrell and others on this likely overlooked entry in Roberta Flack’s discography. Collectors digging for CTI, Kudu LPs and related soul-jazz/fusion cheap heat would do well to pick this up

Floating Points last night—brain-scrambling live visuals; driving, bass-heavy club fare but also hyper colorful prog house w/ warm modular synth textures; rich, probing ambient + live harp contributions from Philly’s Mary Lattimore, who dazzled a chatty crowd in opening set with Julianna Barwick

S/O to Pat Sansone's "Baroque Down Palace" John Paul Jones-themed @eastvillageradio.bsky.social show for its inclusion of Billy Nicholls. We'll never find nor own an OG copy of that LP, so the CD works for now. What a gem (thanks to friend wisely not on this platform for tuning us into the show)

Younger me would never have thought that an in-depth examination of what were profoundly mysterious bands would ever see the light of day. Was able to catch some of these legends back in the day / was in short-lived Philly-area bands that played w/ a couple of 'em. I love this documentary

"Jazz was obviously big for many of the Canterbury Scene groups – it’s writ all over albums by The Soft Machine, Centipede, Hugh Hopper, Coxhill/Miller – but psychedelia is key, both in as psych-pop filigree and psych-rock grunt" theshfl.com/collection/C...

Holy chowder—Chase Fetti's “Refuse 2 Lose” has little competition for the Grimiest Rap I’ve Heard This Morning. Faint vocal reverb capping off each bar, an icy, bare-bones snare and kick, Bernard Herrmann-sounding string stabs, and what is that? Sleigh bells?! tidal.com/browse/track...
