Caetano Veloso reflecting on first meeting Gilberto Gil “… when he met me he felt as though he were leaving behind a great loneliness: when he saw me he was sure that he had found a true companion.” a beautiful expression of friendship ♥️ 🙏 😊 From Veloso’s Tropical Truth

take: Jerry Garcia Band version of They Love Each Other is better than the Grateful Dead’s from 6/10/89 Set 1 Electric on the Eel

prob lowest on my ranking of Donald Byrd x Mizell Bros collabs but that is very relative, since it still a stone jammer (expected from a Mizell/Sky High production), all-time cover art (Hirschfeld portrait), and killer band (alphonse mouzon, patrice rushen, gary batrtz, james jamerson, etc) dig!!!

digging in the part of my haul from the @wfmu.bsky.social record fair last weekend. 5 gems scooped up for $5 a piece dubby, dank, early ‘80s goodness from WACKIE’s BRONX FINEST #cdfriday

55 yrs ago today, Grateful Dead at harpur college, binghamton NY, 5/2/70 acoustic set (rightfully) gets a ton of attention/love— but never sleep on the absolutely blistering electric sets 🔥 ⚡️ 💀

RFK Jr. logic: - I never heard of narcolepsy when I was a kid - Therefore, it didn't exist when I was a kid - Therefore, probably caused by red food dye Lesson: Maybe read at least 1 fucking article on a topic before spouting bullshit off the top of your head about it to the world? #sleeppeeps

Excited to announce an official scientific statement from the @americanheart.bsky.social! "Multidimensional Sleep Health: Definitions and Implications for Cardiometabolic Health" Special thanks to @m-pst-ongephd.bsky.social www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

when it comes to Jeff Parker and Chad Taylor, I always think of Roger Ebert’s Stanton-Walsh rule (“no movie featuring either Harry Dean Stanton or M. Emmet Walsh can be altogether bad”)… If a record has J. Parker or C. Taylor (or better yet, both together!) it is unmissable / likely will be great

bliss out pairing: (surprisingly found) Heady Topper from the local grocery store + Rose City Band’s Earth Trip

This day in Pop history: The #1 song in 1981 was "Rapture" by Blondie where it stayed for 2 weeks. It was the first #1 single to feature rap vocals. @chrisstein.bsky.social
