This is my first encounter with Senegalese griot Mola Sylla who helms improv trio Mother Tongue, but I hope it won't be my last. Terrific stuff. makkumrecords.bandcamp.com/album/mother...

Fighting Xenophobia one song at a time. Remembering Episdoe 16 of the Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow.

The AI assistants who pretend to type really annoy me.

Republicans are celebrating the life of a “free speech activist” by quashing free speech. Got it.

Land of the Free, eh? Right-wing Christian Fascists are destroying our country.

Oh hell yea

Visions! omens! hallucinations! miracles! ecstasies! gone down the American river!

A whole lotta White American Evangelicals admitting that they like their Christianity like they like their politics: with a smear of racism on top.

One of our neighbors put an RIP Charlie sticker on their truck, and have I mentioned how we don’t feel welcome in our own neighborhood? I hate it here.

Paul Simon owes someone a lot of money.

“Many things that were anchored to the balance of power and the balance of terror seem to be undone, unstuck. Things have no limits now. Money has no limits. I don’t understand money anymore. Money is undone. Violence is undone, violence is easier now, it’s uprooted, out of control . . . “

Lots of people committing blasphemy today.

Saturday night.

Happy Saturday (I think?).

You ever go to brush your teeth in the morning and there's a dried clump of toothpaste already there meaning you forgot to brush your teeth last time? Asking for a friend.

Here's some of the albums I listened to this week. #lastfmfriday

I wish Christians in America actually believed Christianity.

Cognitive Dissonance as public policy . . .

Being anti anti-fascism just means you’re pro-fascism. At least the president has been honest for once.

Wanting to declare ANTIFA (a non-existent organization) as domestic terrorists but not the KKK tells you all you need to know about this administration’s motives.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Or…and hear me out now…they could just bring him back

Dear Leader cannot be criticized.

My first academic article was on the dictatorship of Uzbekistan inventing a group called "Akromiya" that did not really exist but which they used to arrest anyone with whom they disagreed under the pretext of "terrorism". Just bringing this up for no reason whatsoever!

Where they famously stormed inland and distributed “Defund the Police” flyers and totally unfairly blamed the Nazis for starting the war.

Narcissism must be exhausting.

Forgot to post this yesterday. Remembering episode 15 of the Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow.

Prince played six songs for an installment of Jimmy Kimmel Live! music series October 23, 2012. The first two songs ("Rock and Roll Love Affair" and "The Dance Electric") aired on TV. This is audience video of "The Dance Electric" Deets: princevault.com/index.php?ti...

I am the wonderful wizard of waltzing alone.

Well After Awhile . . .

i understand these things separately, but i do not understand them together

“I wanted there to be real people on every instrument and leave the sounds of people’s sleeves brushing the chair or people taking breaths. I wanted all of that to celebrate the organism that is people making music together.” pitchfork.com/features/int...

A whole lotta people fixin'ta hear "Depart from me, for I never knew you."

Honoring a bigot by imposing fascism . . .

Probably time to go offline again.

Become ungovernable.

When I was in high school, a friend named Bobby who introduced me to lots of great music like the Housemartins and others. He also introduced me to Nirvana when Bleach was first released. When Nevermind blew up, he wrote "Nirvana Sucks" and "I Hate Nirvana" on his t-shirts and wore those to school

Suki got stuck behind the records.
