Sedelmaier! I loved that guy. My parents had this ridiculous VHS board game called Commercial Crazies that was all about finding details in 40 or so of his commercials, most famously the FedEx one with John Moschitta Jr.

Let's go Oakland! @oaklandballers.bsky.social #OpeningDay

James Chance and the Contortions Live in New York #Cassunday

Oakland! Tropisphere is having a listening party this weekend at Lloyd's Records. Come hear "Los Demos" on tape, and stay for DJ sets by Tropi-locas. Saturday May 16 5-8 PM 3824 Telegraph Ave

The Barrio is now open Latinsky is up and ready to use. You can log in at latinsky.community and you can follow the link below to transfer your data to the Latinsky/Blacksky PDS and get a Latinsky handle.

I've only been messing around there a couple days, but yeah I like it. Feature set is nice, lots of well thought out little details. Would be nice if it got some legs, could be a real contender. Will have Lurch/Goons up there soon

had to replace the speaker in my MPC Live 2 cause I went 2 hard not super easy - like 20 screws - different sizes & a grill that requires careful but forceful prying. should be a five minute job, instead took 2 hours & frankly all that prying left the front of the box a little worse for the wear.

Dudes rock

today I cemented a 16-bar organ solo that I've been improvising in my band for 8 years to mixed results. I love improv, but I'm realizing I'm just not a good enough keyboard player to nail a structured improv solo enough % of the time. so now I made one I can repeat and I like it. 🤷🏽‍♂️
