Look at these fucking pathetic idiots

RIP Kaleb Horton, an absolutely brilliant writer and person. Wow. "It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings"

Here comes the sun!

Valerio Longoria y su Conjunto playing in that killer polyrhythmic huapango style, "Canto A Veracruz." Early 50s. Longoria is one of the absolute legends of Tejano Conjunto music. #78rpm #ValerioLongoria #musicsky #nowplaying

sometimes i watch classic hollywood films — this happened recently with HIGH NOON — and i think, “yeah i get it, this whips.” i’m having a similar experience with music right now and specifically the work of duke ellington. i’m listening to the man’s work and i’m like, “yeah, this stuff is sick”

the great Popovich Bros. family band of Chicago playing the old Serbo-Croatian tamburitza chestnut "Otvori Mile Pile Vrata", "Open The Beautiful Pile Gates", which are the ancient entrance to the capital Dubrovnik. Reminds me of bluegrass at this tempo #78rpm #nowplaying #musicsky #chicago78s

Anyone else read this fascinating book by H. Hobhouse?

I connected instantly to this album/cassette from Heejin Jang on @doomtriprecords.bsky.social - file under experimental, sound art, noise, collagescape, ambient etc. Metal shadows, maps behind your eyelids, music of the synapses & the Earth herself humming from her guts 🖤

The soul is the memory.

This is the only Siamese side from the legendary Music of the Orient set from 1928 by ethnomusicologist Dr. Erich von Hornboestel. The first world music "album" #78rpm #musicoftheorient #nowplaying #musicsky

Again, I'd rather spend my time on a niche, flawed website full of smart & funny & creative people than on a "more popular" website that's algorithmically manipulated by a genocidal billionaire oligarch to advance a nazi agenda. Even if the former ceased to exist, I wouldn't hang out on the latter!

There is no meaning to life, you must bring meaning to it None of this leads anywhere, all of life is about awareness within the moment

James dobson lol fck you buddy

the vagabonds' take of "angelina" is somehow the mood here atm idek #78rpm

Maybe a bit spicy for some of you, but I think LLMs should be illegal. A literal almost pathological program that steals other people's work as its model. It's a wildly lawless horseshit machine

Couple months back I made myself a 45rpm records tote out of a fishing tackle bag I ordered from Germany! Removed a couple things, built the inner box out of polyboard - came out perfect actually and it can hold ~130 records, enough to rock for many hours at a time 😉💃🏾🎶👆🏼 Satisfaction level: 10

Love this version of the "Korobushka" aka the Tetris theme.

Gotta be one of the unique-est polka arrangements I've ever heard, so colorful & unexpectedly harmonically rich Tarnowska Orkiestra Stasiaka "Pasterka" (Shepherdess) Recorded in Chicago, 1928 #78rpm #chicago78s #musicsky #nowplaying

the 78rpm era was the very first time we were really bottling the magic of music in a "jar", and I am constantly finding new sides from that time which I'd never heard, or heard of. Like this gorgeous take of Oh, So Lonesome Blues by Curtis Kirk from 1953. Found it in a pile of 30s country rekkids
