It wasn't a one-off. Musk is openly praising and advocating apartheid. xcancel.com/elonmusk/sta...

He fully earned everything he got in the Sonic Youth interview, though, as someone who was listening to him in the 90s and enjoyed it BECAUSE it was confrontational and provocative. Sometimes provocation means people get provoked.

Making Christmas cards with the mentally ill sounds pretty fulfilling, actually.

Much thanks to Seth Josel and Michelle Lou for including a reference to Tension and Extension in their incredible new compendium of electric guitar techniques The Techniques of E-Guitar Playing on Bärenreiter. www.barenreiter.us/products/the... #guitarsky #avantgardemusic #preparedguitar

WHERE WAS THIS PHOTO TAKEN? Bugging me more than it should. Could be the Pointe-Fortune entrance but why would he have driven from Ontario when Mtl is the first NA show? Don't think it could be the airport? Is it even from this tour? #morrissey #quebec #bienvenue

I can't think of another song that expresses this - aging: where you want to hold onto the past but also the past is full of misery you want to get over so you try to focus on the present instead but that's impossible because the present immediately turns into the past youtu.be/1xItuGEWSUM?...

What is missing from Sanneh's (pop) music criticism piece in the New Yorker: any explanation of or argument for what the value of this 'criticism' ever was or why it ever existed. Who was was it enlightening or informing? Did it aid the development of music in any way? He seems unsure himself.

Brief practice clip of "Prayed for Rain", which will be premiered this Friday at the Jumping Bean

I'm returning to the Jumping Bean on Elizabeth Ave. in St. John's this Friday Aug 22 from 6:30-8:30. I'll premiere my new composition "Prayed for Rain" in a set that combines classical, jazz standards and original pieces. #jazzguitar #stjohns #stjohnsmusic #newfoundlandmusic #guitarsky #jazzsky

Apparently we're pretending "Roll Out" is "Pyramid Song" this week? Pro tip: the downbeat is where you would count it if you weren't insane. #musictheory #ludacris

Perhaps the keystone to understanding my music taste and takes, and the thing you need to keep in mind when I say anything about music, is that I actually like this new arrangement of "In a Landscape" for two guitars. youtu.be/Q46tKUSbnj0?...

Sabbath, like Iron Maiden, were one of those bands that were built up to be really scary and dangerous and something to warn parents about in the 80s and then when I heard them, they sounded kind of beautiful, a bit like classical music, and sang anti-war songs.

Wait, what?

Loose solo interpretation of the Rodgers/Hart standard, modulating delay times; may appeal to fans of Frisell or Halvorson. soundcloud.com/sundar-subra... #jazzguitar #guitarsky #jazzsky #experimentalmusic #avantmusic #ambient

Caught up with this challenge and attempted a solo over a 7/8 break by the great band @stopdroprewind.bsky.social . Tried to do something different with a fusion-tinged call and response approach Kept it improvised and didn't give myself too long. #mathrock #progrock #progressiverock #jazzguitar

Finally found a recording of one of the best shows I ever saw. Audience recording captures the crowd's enthusiasm and band's energy. Murray St songs more intense than on the album. archive.org/details/SY_2... #sonicyouth #indierock #montreal #montrealmusic #altrock #noiserock #psychrock

Unexpectedly feeling youtu.be/hdOuxwFPN1Y?...

This is fantastic. #jazzsky #jazz #dixieland www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MUw...

At least as good as Johnny Cash's "Hurt" youtu.be/AnbEBT1xUgg?...

Hearing "Departure" on radio last week made me realize there were some issues with the mix! I've re-engineered it and I think it sounds much better. Here's a free download: soundcloud.com/sundar-subra... . #postrock #modernclassical #jazzguitar #experimentalmusic #fingerstyle #sologuitar

Thanks to Greg and CHUO for continuing to support my work with airplay and for your kind words - "visionary guitar theorist"! (Link to listen to the program in the post) Merci du soutien, La Villa Strangiato! #ottawamusic #chuo #progressiverock #jazzguitar www.facebook.com/share/p/1Brs...

Exploration of harmonics and resonance across variations on a ground. World premiere by Emily Shaw at the Ottawa Guitar Society's Gala from December 2024. She did an admirable job with a difficult piece. soundcloud.com/sundar-subra... #classicalguitar #contemporaryclassical #ottawamusic

Thanks to Montreal's CKUT for all the support - Opening is on the station chart for the fourth week, at no. 28 on the Feb 11 chart after three weeks in the top 5. A huge honour. #montrealmusic #jazzguitar #mcgill #nlmusic

Everyone took an L. JT committed $1.5B to something pointless (yes, he had committed most of it in December but only because DJT threatened tariffs already); DJT burned goodwill to get something pointless we were already doing; Danielle Smith and PP were shown to be the bootlickers they are. /1
