+++Aufpassen+++ Es sind 3 Fragen. 1: Sind Sie für die Bebauung des Tempelhofer Felds? 2:Sind Sie der Meinung, dass die Berliner Bevölkerung erneut über die Bebauung des Tempelhofer Felds abstimmen sollte? ‼️⬇️⬇️⬇️‼️ 3: Sind Sie der Meinung, dass das Tempelhofer Feld eine Freizeitfläche bleiben sollte?

Hopefully uplifting. We need to all raise our voices against this disgustingly-evil and bottomlessly-stupid regime in Washington and defend the values of the real free world. Be loud. (Rough first draft, I'll be redoing some parts before I put my next record together.) soundcloud.com/b3nut/12-int...

WE. HAVE. NO. KINGS. We don't bow the knee to kings or tyrants or tinpot dictatortots around here. First draft little rough in spots, but hey... soundcloud.com/b3nut/09-we-...

The WH Drama Queen has spoken…heir ye⚔️

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Latest entry for FAWM 2025...tried to put the rage at JuDas VanceCariot's betrayal of our European allies into music, because that's about the only way I know how to deal with this shit. I'm not okay, for the record...I'm just gutted and fucking furious. Anyway... soundcloud.com/b3nut/fawm-2...

I've already said it was a heist on top of a coup....

19:00 Uhr, große Videopremiere. Wir sind mit im Chat dabei und beantworten alle Fragen von euch. Kommt rum! ZSK - Nicht allein (offizielles Video) youtu.be/QdzMXx-B-3c

Raging case of Weltschmerz. Bloody hell…ach du Scheiße…

The abyss had me over for coffee… ☕️ little dystopian ditty… #darkwave #synthwave on.soundcloud.com/XMpM69Gm43zz...

The lyrics and vocal is definitely a first draft 😉 but this was a fun tune to bang together last night for FAWM. I've had that dang Mellotron flute patch in my Roland XP80 for ages, but I think this is the first time I've used it on a track... soundcloud.com/b3nut/05a1

Normally not a fan of AI pictures, but I’ll make an exception for this one!!! Moose and Canadian murder chickens don’t mess around!! 🤣🤣🤣

USAID: - started by JFK; helped America win the Cold War - helped topple apartheid in South Africa - investigated Starlink for ties to Putin MUSK: - owns Starlink - is a white South African - talks with Putin regularly, since 2002 THAT is why Musk is attacking USAID - REVENGE

And herewith the dirty funk I was working on earlier. They fancy themselves as smart "DOGEs" but they're really just slimy vipers... #funk #rhodes #hammondb3 #IMissFrankZappa #IMissBillyPreston soundcloud.com/b3nut/fawm-2...

Dirty funk for @fawmchallenge.bsky.social under construction…this is proving cathartic. I needed this… #funk #hammondb3 #fenderrhodes #synthesizer #jazzbass #jazzmaster

Track #3, just contemplating my place in the universe and all of this encroaching darkness…trying to anyway. Germ of an idea here I think …got the idea in the shower yesterday and got going on it after feeding the dogs… on.soundcloud.com/im8Pi2cZDYYm...

Behind on sharing my FAWM demos/sketches here…silly homage to James Brown, Bootsy, and a touch of Zappa here hehe! (And yes, my wife did indeed make that fungus grows on feet joke at a pizza joint! Neither of us like mushrooms…😜) on.soundcloud.com/kRdHMTouDYG3...

If I have to explain to you why this is a very bad idea, I don’t know what to say. Don’t think he won’t try to railroad anyone he doesn’t like or feels slighted by. This is terrifying.

A coup? Or is it a heist? Most likely both...

First track for @fawmchallenge.bsky.social this year...inspired by the current shitshow in the US of course. What a goddamn nightmare...sorry world, we aren't all this evil and bottomlessly stupid! soundcloud.com/b3nut/fawm-2...

Nothing is sacred to King Nectarine…

RFK Jr.'s anti-science agenda and vaccine lies are a dangerous threat to public health. Healthcare costs would increase & harm businesses that rely on a healthy workforce. Urge your senators to reject Trump's HHS nomination of RFK Jr. http://dlvr.it/THTFKr

Rest in power Garth Hudson…a true genius has left the studio. 😢 youtu.be/7KMGzxDYEQE?...

Hmm…J6 insurrectionists pardoned…he’s putting his Polo Shirt Sturmabteilung back together looks like…uff da.

Mixing a new single…dropping soon!! 😃🎹🎸 #rock #music #homestudio #HammondB3

This is happening on that particularly dark day that marks a certain reign of error…come commiserate with us and make some noise at the Red Rooster in Madison! Of all the months to do Dry January…

🎯

And people still fall for it, to the detriment of the working class everywhere...

My new single “I Need Coffee!!!” is live pretty much everywhere fine zeroes and ones are purveyed…check it out! 😃🎶

New single out today! Fun little rockin' ditty about coffee. Because coffee. Out now on Bandcamp, available soon where fine zeroes and ones are streamed. Enjoy! toddphipps.bandcamp.com/track/i-need...

From the drive home last night, worst fog I think I've seen. Almost couldn't see the exit. Once I got partway up I could see the lights from the Kwik Trip. Had to pull in and grab a shot of the fuel island in the fog... Nikon D610, 35mm f/2D AF Nikkor 1/40 @ f/5.6, ISO 1250 #photography

While we're on the topic of a cool Yule... #jazz #christmas #saxophone www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHj4...

If your Yuletide needs an injection of hip, throw this on...it'll fix ya right up!

Took a little hike up at Brigham County Park as I often do...enjoyed a chill and relaxed Christmas day. Figured I'd try and catch some late evening light and the snow before it melts this weekend... Nikon D610, 70-300mm (#1 and #2), 20mm (#3), 50mm (#4) #Wisconsin #photography

Wishing all who celebrate Merry Christmas, Frohe Weihnachten, Buon Natale...and.... (take it away José!) 😀🎄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8Nc...
