As more info comes in this needs to be said: if it wasn’t some left wing radical that did it, and it appears it wasn’t, there need to be massive pushback because they are STILL pretending it’s some culture war and it is only in their own minds Dangerous times

#nowplaying Nils Lofgren self titled/1975 First time listening to any of his music!🤦‍♂️This despite following his entire time spent with Neil Young and Bruce(nice gigs if you can get ‘em!). His well regarded live album is the next purchase. #musicsky #vinylcommunity

🤣

#nowplaying Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue 1963 Analogue Prod. Reissue After a week of family chaos this is hitting just right. Bonus: smooth jazz guitar is oh so tinnitus 👂friendly, which means I can end the night without cicadas and crickets partying like it’s 1999. 😬 #musicsky #jazz

#Andor creator Tony Gilroy on the entire main cast getting snubbed at the Emmys “These are epic long term character studies ... the ultimate victory, is that these performances will be celebrated and discussed for years to come. I feel confident about that" (via Deadline)

#nowplaying Yes Close to the Edge 1972 AP reissue 2025 I have very few multiple copies of the same album…and this one is one of those exceptions. An all time favorite from this band so I preordered when it was announced. #musicsky #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #prog

Kind of like shutting down a well practiced emergency plan prior to a pandemic happening.

#nowplaying Mark Knopfler Shangri-La 2006 I adore his solo work. I think he became an even better songwriter after he sprung loose from the unintended trap he laid himself w Dire Straits. Folk, blues, dashes of Celtic & country are the musical roads he travels in his storytelling. ❤️ #musicsky

#Nowplaying Neil Young and Crazy Horse Weld 1991 RAWR! SCREECH! CRUNCH! The smell of ozone fills the room. Neil Young defining grunge whether he realized it or not. Two of my favorite versions here: Powderfinger and Cortez the Killer. #musicsky #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection

#Nowplaying Genesis Nursery Cryme 1971 AP reissue Come for the early Genesis, stay for new member Phil Collins playing drums like a man possessed. When I hear these early lp’s, I’m reminded how much Peter Gabriel improved as a singer over the next ten years. #musicsky #vinylcommunity #progrock

#nowplaying Renaissance A Song for All Seasons 1978 Annie Haslam’s most gorgeous vocals with Opening Out and Day of the Dreamer. Two Symphonic prog rock songs that are totally accessible to anyone if they give them a try. #musicsky #renaissance #symphonicprog #vinylcommunity

#NowPlaying The Decemberists As It Ever Was So It Will Be Again/2024 Wonderful. This might be a new favorite. Not a weak song in the bunch. ❤️ An album of what someone else coined “original folk hymns” and that seems apt. #musicsky #vinylcommunity #The Decemberists

#Nowplaying The Beach Boys Beach Boys Today!/1965 Car songs and surfing are in the rear view mirror. No spoilers, but I think he comes up with something pretty big after this one. 😉 #musicsky #brianwilson #beachboys #vinylcommunity

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

spread it far and wide

#nowplaying The International Submarine Band(Gram Parsons) Safe at Home/1968 Michael Nesmith & The First National Band Nevada Fighter/1971 If you know Gram Parsons dragged country music towards rock n roll… You might also know Mike Nesmith was doing the same thing. #musicsky

This is a great read! The Ghorman Massacre has a long history. I knew about the Rebels reference but it goes MUCH further back. #starwars #andor www.theringer.com/2025/05/08/s...

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

#Nowplaying Beatles-Something New 1964 US mono reissue The Who-My Generation 1965 mono reissue The Beatles-a recent all analog reissue from the original masters & it sounds wonderful. Pete Townshend out of the gate writing with the subtlety that would be his hallmark😁 #musicsky #vinylcollection

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young Live at the Fillmore East, 1969 A 15 minute Down By the River? Yes please. Too many highlights to mention besides the above. Stills mentions the better arrangements will come later. Acoustic side is gorgeous. Electric side is ragged but right. #musicsky #csny

💚 Eno.

I scanned before posting and here it is. Radio Paradise is wonderful and fully listener supported and human programmed. No algorithms. No ads except “thank you for supporting”.

September 2024

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

This is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

One of America’s most gifted writers. You might even pair this with “The View from Flyover Country” which is not a travelogue but a series of essays pre-2016. #booksky

FYI. I go off on an EPIC Rant on the anniversary of America joining the Axis of Evil Autocrats. Beware. It’s is F-Bombs Away on Trump, MAGA & those who betrayed their oath.

#Now playing Genesis self titled from 1983 My favorite Genesis. The perfect marriage of pop and prog. Phil Collin’s at his peak in singing ability. His vocals on Mama and Home by the Sea-Phil DELIVERS. People think Phil wrote all those pop songs in the 80’s… 1/2

Gavin Newsom: I just want to thank you again for rising from the depths to join us on the pod today. Cthulhu: (slobbering evil) Newsom: Ha, yes! Now, can you tell us how eradicating the human infestation fits into your goal of ruling over the Earth and beyond? Are we really so ungovernable?

🧵 This is the Kennedy Center board member who wants to make it a Mideast franchise. But the @nytimes.com knows damn well that he's also the pimp thug who brought Melania to the US & introduced her to Epstein before she met Trump. Yes, this is the guy, and here's the real story on Zampolli.

Every lawyer should be required to read this. commons.stmarytx.edu/cgi/viewcont...

#nowplaying Bob Marley & The Wailers Rastaman Vibration 1976 Favorite track: War. Lyrics were taken from a speech by Ethiopian Emperor Hailee Selassie at the UN General Assembly in Oct 1963. I included the 2nd, 3rd, 4th verses in a photo. #musicsky #vinylcollection #mycountryisregressing 😩

People should be calling this what it is, which is a crypto bailout. They're cutting cancer research so they can bailout rich, degenerate gamblers bsky.app/profile/ronf...

Too bad so many Americans “don’t like politics”. Just wait until my fellow Americans see what *they* have in store for them. It will take awhile, but it will come to their doorsteps and into their homes….blue, red, and purple alike. Then we’ll see what we’re made of.

Gene Hackman auditioned for and almost got the part of Mike Brady in THE BRADY BUNCH. There better be an option in heaven to watch all 117 of those episodes.

Yep this captures one of my all time favorite performers perfectly.

The first season is a wonder to behold & the boldest of anti-fascist storytelling that’s missing from the media landscape right now. Bring on season two. Don’t let the odd soundtrack choice fool you. This show is richly written and directed with heart and purpose. #andor youtu.be/AE4wxt70aUM?...

#nowplaying The Cure Songs of a Lost World 2024 I haven’t been in my music room in a couple of weeks. While I’ve been “gone” my country has been getting dismantled in record speed by fascists. So-I think it’s a Cure mood tonight…catharsis and all that. 😬 #musicsky #vinylcollection #thecure

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I found the older gamers feed and I think I feel at home. Just turned 60 and playing No Man’s Sky with Brian Enos Apollo soundtrack playing in the background. Match made in heaven. #oldergamers #musicsky #brianeno #hellogames #nomanssky

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.
