Mike Johnson says those in Congress can’t survive on 174k a year. Here's an idea then: Let's CUT their salary to the median income for all Americans and find people who survive on that much, so we can have representation that accurately reflects the way the electorate lives.

very awful news to hear about Michael Yonkers passing. RIP to one of the most "musician's musicians" out there. His second act in the 2000s was fantastic.

This might be of interest to a rare few on here. I'm searching mostly outsider music. It's a difficult niche search and no real guideposts. I'd really like to know of others on here that have an interest beyond the usual suspects. I'm on medication - John North Wright youtu.be/dOU4Lx_PPPg?...

Vocal Fry has been sharing vocals w/something extra for 10 years - the anniversary is next week. We'll dig back into favorite artists, songs & styles. Who's your fave VF artist? Check the Vocal Fry List for a refresher.

What is the definition of noise? When does music cross over into noise? Is dissonance enough? I cut samples of various badly played instruments and juxtapose them with no regard to harmony. Is that noise? Or does it have to be the traditional wall of sound?

Tape Bowing Ensemble - Open Reel Ensemble

Well after over a month of a totally debilitating nightmare Covid experience, hopefully can start getting back to somewhat normal. Covid is no joke after what I went through. These albums are ones I saw going to thrift stores and resale record stores.

The mangaka for Neko Oji drew this for the Austin Kinokuniya and omg the bats 😭

If you find yourself in NYC you should stop whatever you’re doing, take yourself to Desert Island, get my comics, read them the minute you step outside the store (in the street, yes, it’s perfect reading weather today) and then write to tell me exactly how you feel about them.

Mickey Rate #2 by Robert Armstrong

At Costco, some old hippie saw my Mickey Rat tee. “Robert Armstrong!” He smiled, and said he has boxes of underground comix. I recommended the Crumb bio. On the way out, the lady checking my receipt commented on my shirt. “You know him?” I asked. “No,” she said, “but it’s cool.”

Back in 2019 was the first time I went to a Japanese laundromat and I knew no Japanese. It was fun! I think the instructions are 1) have a mermaid steal your shirt 2) place giant novelty cookie in slot 3) watch clothes boink 4) dress up mermaid. That’s what I did anyway.

One of us always tells the ketchup and the other only tells mustard. How do you tell which is which by asking only one question.

I'm gonna try to do some smaller comics that just mainly depict little snippets of RFF's setting for a bit while I get other work done. Hope you like it! (Eiko takes her baby on a walk)

A society split into two religions/schools of thought: "life is based on circles, orbits and things revolving, rotating. See the solar system and the atom" Vs "it's all about stuff going through pipes"

Gotta hand it to marketing, that is somehow a deeply unappealing name, but I'm holding out for the Moist Boneless Sharing Platter.

Another neat find in my stuff: A 1992 ad for the long gone See/Hear magazines/fanzines/comics dungeon store in the East Village. A must stop for all yer glop! Or as my late pal Los said to me: "This place has more shit than your place!"
