The Knicks winning a playoff game is a wonderful thing. They should continue to do so in the near future. this is my opinion

Their distance argues, and their swift return Diurnal,) merely to officiate light Round this opacous Earth, this punctual spot, One day and night; in all her vast survey Useless besides; reasoning I oft admire, How Nature wise and frugal could commit VIII, 21-26

Milk! You know I need a beverage Milk! Not just any beverage Milk! You know a need a gulp Milk!

I'd say three out of every four articles I try to read via Bluesky are paywalled. What's up? Do you all subscribe to dozens of outlets? Are you plugging all of these articles into those clunky paywall-busting websites? What a world

RIP to the colossus www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWE8...

My girlfriend and I bumped into the great Wallace Shawn on the street two weeks ago. I got to tell him how much his essay "Why I Call Myself a Socialist" meant to me, and a few days later we copped tickets to his one-man show "The Fever." www.guernicamag.com/wallace_shan...

This movie is going to fucking suck

Capitalism must be destroyed

Very psyched to see this gig on Tuesday and I bet you Wednesday will be just as good

Abolish charter schools

Workers deserve more, today and every day. Tens of billions of dollars for death and destruction and no universal healthcare, no housing guarantee, no jobs guarantee. I want a better world in my lifetime and so should you.

Just had first rehearsal yesterday for a great show that happens in 10 days. It's my songs w me singing & playing foot-powered synth, plus @jefftobias.bsky.social & Alfredo Colón on alto saxes & Wendy Eisenberg on guitar. It's at Mama Tried, 7pm on Thu 5/7, pass the hat show. Come on down!

The best music available for listening is Charles Mingus' sextet featuring Eric Dolphy performing live in the US and Europe in 1964 🫡

Calling my reps in Congress to pass a bill requiring that U.S. war crime data be shown on the jumbotrons at Coachella on a permanent and ongoing basis

me witnessing abuse of power: WHAT!!

That’s me in the garden That’s me in the bonsai Pruning with precision

When this era is over, someone should do an exhibit of all the art "inspired" by Trump, for and against. It's a cult of personality willingly created by his supporters and detractors. He really did his job: absorbing all the abuse that should be levied at the corporate raiders he's running cover for

All that is solid melts into PR

I love Alexis Taylor's new album because I would listen to that guy sing the phone book but I am rendered dumbstruck by the fact that he has returned to the very silly Stevie Wonder joke he first used 22 years ago genius.com/Alexis-taylo...

I wish OOIOO was playing NY

If you would like to hear something really interesting, listen to the first cut on this album and bear in mind I believe this is just guitar

great interview with Kristina Warren about the new Gold Bolus album Tusk is up over at @foxydigitalis.bsky.social foxydigitalis.zone/2026/04/09/k...

I am very excited to be in conversation with @jefftobias.bsky.social on April 22 in a location I always thought we'd one day discuss music streaming in a public interest technology context: the World Trade Center Oculus www.eventbrite.com/e/sonic-spac...

That shit ruined my day

holy smokes

Checking out the new Sunn0))) the way god intended (laptop speakers)

Hitler's Early Paintings: A Critical Assessment Sponsored by Pepsi

The LLM takeover has made everything in computing so loosey-goosey. "Maybe it will work. Empirically, there's a good probability...". This is not what interested me about computing. Of course, sometimes it does work, which is magic. I am just a curmudgeon who doesn't like magic.

A strange and unexpected experience I've had recently is a dramatic shift in my feelings towards an artist who I used to worship and now I sort of can't stand (Elvis Costello)

I've returned to @andrewhickey.500songs.com's podcast and have since learned that Curtis Mayfield tuned his guitar to a weird open tuning based on the black keys of the piano, which almost makes the very strange riff on this album cut make sense www.youtube.com/watch?v=upZ5...

My emotional reaction to current events has returned to a primal state, I'm not saying anyone would want to listen to how I feel about it, but this feels right to me as a listener myself www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtdD...

When I heard Sean Penn wasn't at the show to accept his award I was like "motherfucker's probably in Ukraine" he is!

This is true and it's rarely discussed

Phil Collins slowed and reverb youtube videos are the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions.

RIP Carlos Ward (1940-2026) Sadly, I have yet to see a proper obituary anywhere (& he died in mid-January), but here is a good remembrance

This is nice www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm7K...

I'm Keir Starmer

"that's the way it is" is trump at his finest. i love those moments where you can see he understands he needs to strike a solemn and somber tone. you can see him reach around in the bag but since he is both incredibly dumb and also doesnt give a shit, he just dredges up random words

I contributed to this wonderful compilation to help send funds to aid those suffering under the fascist siege in Minneapolis. I have few regrets in life but forgetting to change this track's very stupid working title may prove to be one of them adelynstrei.bandcamp.com/album/music-...

Last night we were watching a documentary about folk music and Tobi was hating on Leonard Cohen so hard she said "he sounds like Jandek"

During my 20s I lived a five minute walk from a Huddle House which was a chain that was transparently exactly like Waffle House. I used to go there at night to read when I couldn't sleep. One night I was reading a book about the end of the Civil War (1/x)

Kash Patel: this is what we do baby!!!!!! ::spraying miller lite around the team usa locker room:: Savannah Guthrie’s mom: hellloooooo i’m dying

We desperately need to bring back shame

My longtime personal aim is to never adopt new neologisms or slang, call nothing "pilled" or "coded" even as these words attempt to invade my speech via cultural osmosis. It'll all pay off in 30 years when I'm old and speak like the mid-21st century equivalent of Mark Twain or Van Dyke Parks

I'm finding solace in posting my mundane thoughts about music because all of my political thoughts violate the terms of service

I've been on a huge Scott Walker kick and I figured I'd find some groovy large ensemble arrangements on YouTube but I didn't count on witnessing this spareness www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj1W...
