Steve Thornton. I do not care about followbacks. Jazz vinyl, indiepop, soft pop, ebikes, cities, sardines, booze, Tottenham Hotspur, Seattle Sounders, Ballard FC. Moderately leftist, if that's still a thing.

#jazzsky Herbie Mann, Live at the Whisky A Go Go, Atlantic, 1969. Mann, flute; Roy Ayers, vibes; Sonny Sharrock, guitar; Steve Marcus, tenor; Miroslav Vitous, bass; Bruno Carr, drums. Mann gets dragged for being popular, but he's actually killer, and this lineup is pure fire.

These are fired employees having to improvise the protection of nuclear material even though they don't have jobs anymore. Musk is destroying the US because they don't know what they are doing and have contempt for people who do. People have been hanged for less.

In addition to being civic degenerates these people are in every case infantile, sloppy and incompetent. Grand flourishes of performative cruelty followed by entitled pleas of "I don't know how to do this. Can you help?"
