Miles Davis Blindfold Test YouTube Playlists On and off (mostly off) for the past 20+ years I've been working on a book about Downbeat's Blindfold Tests. It started as my master's thesis and has never receded from my consciousness and is now fully off of the back burner. During the early covid…

The boots may taste like shit, but Ross will keep licking.

His performance in All the Presidents Men is unforgettable.

By continuing his work, does that mean propping up the murderer? Making him a celebrity and have him speak to young college students? Because that would definitely be following in Kirk’s footsteps.

Not surprising that RFK Jr. is going to blame women for autism. This is updated refrigerator mom theory. He’s such a bastard. Maybe we should all take heroine and eat roadkill.

Jessie Gemstone is at it again.

#shrinkflation is here with a vengeance. Left, graham cracker one month old. Right, graham cracker purchased last week. Box is the same size, oz is the same. You can’t tell me these are the same size.

Don't worry, when he goes the MAGA folks will just create a hologram version of him that haunts DC, just like the hologram of Chavez that wanders through Caracas.

It won’t be weekend at Bernie’s. It will be tweets in his voice and AI video announcements. It’ll be more like Wilson’s presidency.

I guess my sign I made for #teslatakedown protest was a little too accurate.

This is considered a positive to RFK Jr because he will have more whale heads to eat.

This is convenient because now we know who needs to be primaried.

Tomorrow David Shor is going to come out with talking points about Mandani’s scavenger hunt: 1. The hunt was unlikely to appeal to moderates who are afraid to use the subway. 2. This hunt was a distraction for kitchen table issues. 3. The hunt didn’t promise to lower taxes on homeowners.

1st, this was produced and arr by Ron Carter. Yes. Ron Carter. And the band was stacked. Discogs tells me this is a $20ish album. 2nd, why is it in my house? Does it go? Or does the total lame kitsch make it worthy of staying? I love Star Wars as much as anybody, but this is shite.

A great New Yorker piece on classical music critic Dave Hurwitz, whose literally thousands of videos of CD reviews and commentary are an unbelievable resource and source of delight. Want to know the best Bruckner symphony cycle? He knows. Why does he hate Boulez as a composer? Watch and learn.

So when is Vulcan Love Slave going to drop its debut album? I've been waiting years for it.

There’s a reason Kristi Noem was banned from all reservations in South Dakota.

Two things are true about Noem: 1. she absolutely believe democrats are communists and marxists and socialists. 2. she would fail if she had to define any one of those words.

This thread is on point

I’m calling this the Straight White Pride Parade.

Durham, NC turned out for the No Kings protests.

As someone who has visited her hometown (Castlewood) and has also visited LA, I can tell you which one represents America and it certainly isn’t the one with only 700 residents.

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

You can always tell the quality of a person based on how they treat janitors. ALWAYS!

A story I remember reading. Joseph Goebbels was having an affair with the actress Lida Baarova. When Goebbels wife went to Hitler for help, Hitler forced Goebbel to end the affair. Goebbels gave the orders for Kristallnacht a few days later.

Is Stephen Miller feeding Trump anti-Elon info because Elon stole his wife? Is that the reason for the current meltdown?

This my friends, is the product of a Castlewood education. Small town, small minds, no curiosity and couldn’t hack it at a small college. She’s not playing dumb, this is not an act, this is who she is.

Fun fact, when a flood host Mccook lake in South Dakota, Kristi Noem refused to call up the National Guard to help residents. Other govs in the region called up national guard. Let’s not forget when she sent SD national guard to Texas for border patrol.

I encourage everyone to fill out a Thom Tillis’s survey. The character limit is out of this world. Check this out.

No passport or photo id? I guess it’s time to ship her off to El Salvador since she can’t prove she’s a citizen.

Reuben is wearing the latest gear from @defypoliticalgear.bsky.social He’s ready for the next #teslatakedown

#Teslatakedown in Raleigh, NC. 100s of people lined both sides of the highway.

Important historical fact. Nazi Germany had a delegation in Hollywood to ensure there was no anti-German stories on film. This later expanded to Nazi requesting studios fire Jewish actors and composers. It never just ends at the border. Their bigotry is exported.

For all you lovers out there, the late Fredric Jameson has a special Valentine's Day message for you.

This whole thread is amazing.

I will be doing some writing and listening to some new CDs I just picked up. Even picking up the dog crap in the back yard in the cold is preferable to whatever stupid shit is going on today.

Is this misdirection from the right? Walz is a guy who seems comfortable in a kitchen who has no problem whipping up dinner for his family. Something you can’t about any of these posters.

The horror show continues in NC. Wonder if The NY Times will ask Robinson to drop out. www.wral.com/story/robins...

Catholic Church will do anything to solve the priest shortage except letting women become priests.

Since Kristi Noem is in the news, let’s take a look at some of her greatest hits. First one up is hiring an out of state ad firm for an anti meth campaign.

Finally, my background growing up in NE South Dakota will come in handy. Did you know the closest business to Kristi Noem’s family farm is a gun store?

Untamed Youth

I made the list.

My piece on Andre 3000's new album just dropped. Take a look, won't you?

JULIAN: I told you hanging out with that guy was gonna get you in trouble! RICKY: Kenny Cheesebro and me just smoked a little weed, he never said nothin about any fake electrons
