You can get a used blu-ray player for not much money and pawn shops are filled with movies but physical media continues to blow up in popularity. But if you get started now, the prices are still good and then you own the movie. Forever. Can't recommend it enough.

'Nobody has transcendent moments anymore. Bcz. of the goddamn phones.'

This may make me sound old as dust or too young depending on your perspective, but whatever: we are all so damn lucky that Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong recorded music together so frequently, like how insanely fantastic is that power combo? What a generous gift.

Fits like a glove. Wish they'd do a full concert together.

every generation inherits a world they didn’t choose or create, yes, but I really can’t believe we’re giving today’s children the largest expansion of state and corporate surveillance in human history and a future where you maybe won’t ever know what it’s like not to be watched

Heard somebody say that “guitar isn’t cool anymore.” I think it’s sad that people would look at it like this. Guitars are cool, saxophone is cool, opera is cool, hip hop is cool, Bach lute suites are cool. Music is just cool and I hope people find a way to enjoy it. #music #musicSky #musiciansky

Never have 4 people more wished they were still in the deepest, darkest recesses of outer space.

I'm not big on nostalgia but I do miss how music was allowed to be more weird in the 90s. Like yes capitalists commoditified alt culture, but there is something good about the general public being exposed to Bjork and Aphex Twin and NIN as well as regular pop. Everything's such a monoculture now.

If imprisoning every person in the Epstein files will "cause a global collapse," then, fuck it, let's just start over.

Exactly 💯

I miss when people didn’t have their cell phones out at concerts.

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

a cool thing about "cd's" is you push one button and it plays an entire album of music ad free and then (unless you request otherwise) it just stops and awaits further instruction. a very elegant system.

I will burn CDs with tracklistings of my choosing to people who respond below

Then he literally led an insurrection ON TV, stole a bunch of government documents, and faked an assassination, then won again 🫠

I'm hanging out in a place with my laptop to do some writing, and god, all the music they're playing is TikTok algorithm-driven songs that are all meant to exist as 30-second clips in viral videos. Awful music.

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

The sooner the Epstein files are released, the sooner he’ll be out of office. If I never hear his name again it can’t be soon enough. Can. Not. Wait.

Don’t let them gaslight you. This is from the NYPD’s official account

Mad, apparently neglecting piano for months means I am actually less good at it now. Hm.

I love that feeling when there's a pull to listen to an artist. You feel like you want to keep going back. 'I've gotta hear that again.'

Born 24 March 1935 - Carol Kaye, one of the most prolific bass guitarists, who has played on an estimated 10,000 recordings in a career spanning over 50 years. Kaye was the bassist on many Phil Spector and Brian Wilson productions in the 1960s and 1970s. She is 91 years old today. #CarolKaye

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

I’m tired of LEAVING A REVIEW when I buy something! Isn’t the fact that I bought it proof enough?

Any social interaction with anyone I'm not close friends with reminds me why I used to get gattered before appearing in public. All of it is so hard and I don't know how I'm supposed to navigate any of it. I don't know how I'm supposed to strike a balance between being absent and too much.

What a day. I love this song already ❤️

All the clips I've seen from Aurora's concert film just show a sea of people holding their phones up looking dead-eyed at her. She's an incredible performer, and this should be an amazing concert film. If this isn't proof that phones have killed the energy at gigs, I don't know what is.

PRESIDENT EPSTEIN BIGLY WORRIED OVER FALLING POLL NUMBERS SO HE STARTS ILLEGAL WAR WITH IRAN! HE WILL LOSE MIDTERMS AND GET IMPEACHED AND ARRESTED!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

The billionaires and celebrities who hung out with Epstein all knew what he was doing. They just didn’t care.

There's only one thing I care about and it's that my stereo gets bigger

I hate Dakota by Stereophonics, sorry

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

'Erroneous Digit': Coming to a video store near you! OUTRI and Jeremy Bradfield create a 12-min epic that weaves music and visuals that'll lift you into their dreamworld of colour, cables, science slides and melodic dnb. And we reviewed it from a VHS copy! www.mothsandgiraffes.com/theactualcon...

Begging the UK to make it 1 term with 1 PM for at least 1 time in a decade. It's a total shit show that no government can soldier through anything, or the public be unified. I'm so tired of all the division. The country is falling apart because nobody is ever in long enough to do anything about it.

Open tiktok for the first time in months to find a certain artist and the first thing that comes up are AI generated babies being interviewed for an AI generated tv programme. Sick of it

Doing art badly is good and sacred

They won’t reveal who Alex Pretti’s murderer is because he’s probably a pardoned J6 proud boy.

My bluesky account seems to mostly exist now to tell AI to go fuck itself right in the GPT and I'm perfectly fine with that.

The rate at which things are being invented that nobody wants is staggering. People know their coffee order. They go and order it. They're happy. They drink it and get on with their day. Nobody needs AI to tell them what version of shitty TikTok influencer coffee to order that costs $17.

never seen such desperation for the entire capitalist class to sell one technology

The desperation here is very telling. There's a lot of money riding on all of this. What 'skills' are there in writing prompts? AI is decimating the creative industry and dumbing down society as a whole. I've already seen an email at my workplace begging us to use AI. Let me use my fucking brain.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

centrism is over, rest in piss

My receiver is 15 years old this year, everything runs through it from CD player, record player and games consoles. Recently it's developed this adorable issue that sometimes I'll be sitting here minding my own business and it switches itself on as if to say 'Hey, how about some music?' 😊
