There are apparently only 2 places in the entire city of Philadelphia that still repair or sell typewriters and one is in my neighborhood because of course it is. Ran in there yesterday and chatted w the owner. She teaches touch typing to kids on the weekends

White Owl Records: Instagram interview for Talker (NYC) - It's Not The Archer, It's The Arrow Editorial Design, Layout EP Out July 3rd, 2025 available for presave now (alt text available) whiteowlrecords.xyz

so ICE is arresting mayors now probably not good

recently i've been working here and there to do graphic works for Baltimore's BRUISER Magaznie. i'd really appreciate it if you checked out their amazing writing and maybe submit a piece or two at www.bruisermag.com (I'm gonna make a post soon abt taking freelance/commissioned work - stay tuned)

me finishing kitchen confidential and deciding my life has not completely fallen apart enough in the last 12 months for my preferences: huh i wonder what would happen if i decided to become a chef like my dad.

some photos from wednesday night's party. i took these with a Kodak EasyShare CX7430 from 2004. on one hand i am very glad that the camera i grew up with as a kid still works! on the other hand it makes me feel some type of way about this camera now being "vintage digital photography" lol

watched it (well DNF'd) before i went to band practice yesterday but THE ELECTRIC STATE: The Russo Brothers belong in the Hague and Ted Sarandos in front of an SEC commission for money laundering. Elba, Domingo, Huy Quan all deserve better, MBB and Chris Pratt deserve even less

happy friday team. did this flyer artwork for a release show at Rash Bar in BK soon - techno for the heads, both live syntth sets and DJ sets. and it's free 🕺🏿dont be a stranger now, if you're in new york it's time to put your dancing boots on.

i had a salaried design job and 401k at an internationally renowned industrial research org working with scientists and engineers and now im on culinaryagents and i cant get people to respond to my applications to be a busser or server c'est business it is what it is

x is down and I’m down in Philly again so like here’s 4 more pictures of Josie my moms Cat. yay

i did my taxes in the middle the night on a sunday and either i am getting a good refund or what left of the irs is going to deport me to africa or france soon for what i've done to my 1099s. we'll see

informing the prospective comapny that i can bring hype moments and aura to their organization in my cover letter

Being 28 is all about screaming and crying at adobe after effects because of disk cache issues making you have problems exporting a 30 second clip for ig

this time last year i had a salaried tech job with a 401k and a train commute to an office where I lounged around in an Eero Saarinen building with some of the smartest people in the world. today i filled out an application for SNAP. life comes at you fast! (thank god i am out of big tech tho)

as i reach my elderly age of 28 i have reconsidered and soften many of my former pretenses: one of of which being that i was really hating on ska for no reason. a lot of third wave ska is dreadful but the good stuff is still good. like this Pilfers record from '98 www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxIr...

TV On The Radio play "Wolf Like Me" on Letterman (2006)

15: Mabe Fratti - Queiros o no Singer/Songwriter/Cellist from CDMX, like jazz, chamber music, folk/pop all in one. I am not really sure who put me onto 'Sentir que no sabes' from last yr but it's worth checking out www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_2L...

14: Fleshwater - Enjoy demo (bjork cover) www.youtube.com/watch?v=18dO...

13: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K68... sorry. it's the superb owl. go birds. i will die for my country philadelphia

one day late, but 12: Lust For Youth & Croatian Amor - Dummy. RIP Posh Isolation records www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e7i...

11: Nala Sinephro - Endlessness one of my favorite jazz albums from 2024 and in recent memory period. turn it on and float away www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyvq...

im a simple man i see metalcore with an angel on the cover or the band name is surrounded by xs and i listen

the job search has turned me into the Fell For It Again Award World Champion in some aspects even when i am trying to keep my expectations as low as possible. brutal

9 + 10 (belated): SOPHIE - HEAV3N SUSPENDED nothing much to say, she was the blueprint, pop music is still just now catching up to her. miss her! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXPS...

'Still, today, people show up on the streets to protest and demand a better way of being. Why? Because of hope, hope that somehow, someway, the world around us can become that which we hold in our heart of hearts—full of joy, peace, and serenity.'

i am looking forward to the prospect of moving to bk but also having to move is not fun to think about

7+8: i didn't post the other day because i had to work on the weekend! as penance here is 40 mins of gqom/ghettotech/techno/etc. that i mixed when i couldnt sleep which will count as today's music share soundcloud.com/user-8857595...

bro a plane crashed in northeast? @ketracelblack.bsky.social

6: Q Lazzarus - Heaven www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yAy...

5: glassJAw - The Number No Good Things Can Come Of (Remix) glassjaw is one of my favorite bands ever and daryl palumbo is the closest thing the hc scene will ever come to bobby caldwell. this is a little known rmx from his side project with a dude from Brand New www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C_j...

LessWrong and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

4: Richard Orofino - Lions Mane 80s big instrumentation, Oneohtrix Pt Never/Phil Collins vibes. randomly stumbled across these new singles and i cannot get them out my head. I let the mirror talk he put my ass into the E.R. 🕺 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChDL...

grad school was a fun thing to think about for like 5 seconds

www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_-X... Day 3: the one where i humblebrag about growing up within walking distance of the Sun Ra Arkestra house but also shoutout to Marshall Allen for putting out his first album at the age of 100. jazz is probably the key to longetivity, don't tell bryan johnson

day 3: youtu.be/CWXa3V2-7RY

i slept in til noon today but we're back day 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTWD... Pure Hell: OG black punk band (and one of the first early US punk bands ever) formed in Philly in '74, a few years after Death from Detroit. early inspiration on Bad Brains

to force myself to adhere to a routine for this year and also to make the act of visiting this site an more tangible thing: i am going to try and post a song each morning when i can. here is day 1, something I found on yt on a channel uploading old obscure vinyl www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcAa...

maybe this social media situation is inherently cooked and we need to go back to BBS and message boards and ham radio. maybe only half kidding

the replies to this post are so cool i love how insane everyone is becoming
