I made a randomize SFX/vox pop button for the workshop. First-up: Lou Reed: "Oo-oo wee, son of a b!" Another VU-related drop is Nico singing 'what a clown' from Femme Fatale. What else should I pop on the button? 👇🏼 🔘 #loureed #underneaththebottle #thebluemask #thevelvetunderground

The Anderson Japanese Garden in Rockford, IL designed by Hoichi Kurisu. Felt like a dream to visit. #japanesegarden #wanderlust #illinois #nature #HoichiKurisu

The 2nd episode of MNHS's Music Making History series is live. It's beautiful. Seems my experience with the first video was no fluke. Love, love, love to @pedigreedbunk.bsky.social and the whole HistSoc team!

Groovers of all ages! @robynhitchcock.bsky.social has written a phenomenal memoir. A true 'slice' of his life and an examination of how a formative moment in time can profoundly affect your entire life and worldview. It's all too beautiful! #robynhitchcock #1967 #booksky #musicsky

RIP freak folk pioneer Michael Hurley (no relation). May Snock have moicy on his soul. #musicsky #folkmusic #havemoicy #vinyl #michaelhurley

Every night of 2025 so far

My most recent extracurricular project is this music video for my MNHS colleague Dan Leary and his band Institutional Green. He sent me a bunch of clips and photos and one helluva catchy song to cut together and this is what we came up with! #musicsky #minneapolis #institutionalgreen

Share some of the best eyes in movies

It's a shame I can only upload a 60 second clip of Nat & The King Cole Trio performing Nature Boy in 1951, but here they are at their hypnotic best. I so prefer this version to the lushly orchestrated studio recordings Nat did. #jazz #natkingcole #musicsky #natureboy #edenabhez

This clip of Tom Jones from The Life Of Rock with Brian Pern is one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen in my life. yeeEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHH #tomjones #brianpern #musicsky #comedy

Been listening to this track a lot lately for some reason--- Trade War - Van Dyke Parks (1989) Thanks to our man Ronald Reagan He is gone and we are begging For just the interest on the loan And calamity unknown Trade war! #musicsky #vandykeparks #tradewar

Stars over snow, And in the west a planet Swinging low below a star— Look for a lovely thing and you will find it, It is not far— It will never be far - Sara Teasdale #sarateasdale #poetry

Here comes that postman again Another invitation Hah, this ones really cute It says "surrender or we shoot!" So I'm sending this salute Cause I'm a member too Of any circle that belongs to you Circular Letter - Kevin Ayers (1975)

Kevin Ayers died #OTD 18th February 2013. He's here, on the left, with Nico, John Cale, and Brian Eno. June 1974.

Post a female character that you love.

[david lynch weather report voice] Good morning. Today, I'm thinking about the way Nico sings the word 'clown' as 'clone' in the Velvet Underground song 'Femme Fatale'.

I'm so poor that if battleships cost penny I couldn't afford the echo of the whistle... (Speaking Clock by Peter Blegvad, the perfect Eartoon for Feb. 15th)

Someday I hope to have a somewhat reckless friend named Chester so that every time I feel they're being too hasty or are about to make a poorly reasoned decision I can work on my Rick Danko impression.

The TOPPOP YouTube channel is the first place I head to when I need a hit of the good stuff 🤩

In honor of #SNL50, here's a fave clip: Queen Latifah plays Bessie Smith-type 20s jazz singer Alberta Jones who over-explains the innuendo in her songs. I've had the 'saucy little tune' "Joe The Plumber" stuck in my head for over damn 20 years! #SNL #SaturdayNightLive #QueenLatifah #MayaRudolph
