I miss Mick Ronson and DB. The arrangement here is so good. The recorders, the guitar melodies, the bolero section... every band from this period had to have at least one bolero in their repertoire. 😆 And of course the bad French prounciation in the final refrain. ❤️

GoFundMe is allowing people to raise money for the legal defense of Renee Good's killer. Fundraisers for people accused of committing violent crimes are banned according to company policy. So why is this happening? GoFundMe needs to take them down. app.sosha.ai/s/PgyiBm6J

NYC

Are there any cities where no one gives flying fuck about sports? I love Brooklyn, but i could be persuaded... I mean, Japan has bars themed on weird adventurous 70s rock. Now THAT is culture i can get behind. Do I need to move to Tokyo?

I'm attending this action. NYC, please join! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

2025 showed us all a lot about the cost of protest, the dangers in speaking out – and the absolute need to do it, and the power and community that come through it. fair.org/home/best-of...

I just had an MRI and it was the hardest DJ set I've ever heard. They're like "lie still please" and I'm- but this DJ is FIRE. 909 kick at 140bpm in every cut. Accompanied by hard square waves at ear-bleeding levels. And the last cut was totally avant-garde: just one tone for 4 minutes.

Hey little maga, how's it going?

RIP Udo Kier. :(

A really great night tonight that I did not want to end. Started at Ichiran in midtown, moved on to MoMA for the Ruth Asawa artist party, then to La Boucherie a block away. So much fun. Best company, loads of silliness and loads of inspiration. Thank you, my dear friend.

@jaketapper.bsky.social When is your book about the demented, sleeping fool currently in the White House being released

Zohran calling out my neighborhood was a vibe.

THAT was a speech, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

@socialists.nyc first thanked at Mamdani acceptance rally. <3

Kevin Roberts' defense of Nick Fuentes is a watershed moment: the right has officially declared open, unabashed Hitlerism to be an acceptable position in their coalition www.vox.com/politics/466...

FIRE THIS CRIMINAL LIAR NOW!

New Laibach.

I was at the New York Is Not For Sale rally last night and it was truly uplifting. Bernie is amongst the very best political voices this country has ever heard. AOC is a strong advocate for so many important issues of our time. And Zohran Mamdani is a dedicated voice for the people. Vote Zohran!

12% of Americans rely on SNAP to eat. 40% of those are children. Starting Nov 1, we will be starving our own citizens, including children. And the GOP is OK with that.

Happy radical Brooklyn Halloween to all! (I know it's just our historical moment, but this looks like a ghost lobbing a molotov heart at ICE to me.)

Fucking disgusting creeps. #defundICE and throw them in jail.

NEW — I'm suing DC Metro Police for the full body cam footage from the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace back in March. The public deserves to know why MPD chose to sell out the people they’re tasked with protecting in order to bend to Trump's will. I'm repped pro bono by @rcfp.org. Details:

Culture is what gets passed on. The rest dies. The right wing has no culture. Remember that.

Channeling this vibe tonight. Lene and Nina. ❤️

My entire dance card was filled with #nokings today, but the new 99% Invisible podcast episode dropped and it's a short, but spot-on look at the history of machinima. This Spartan Life, my internet series from 2008-2015 is featured about halfway in. 99percentinvisible.org/episode/hl-0...

End of #NoKings Day but la lucha continua. Thank you, NY, for turning out.

A forgotten bit of film history from "The Conversations- Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film" by Michael Ondaatje. #apocalypsenow #starwars #GeorgeLucas #FrancisFordCoppola #WalterMurch

putting the call out to #chiptune bsky I need your tips on who is actively pushing chiptune forward right now particularly interested in newer / emerging artists, as well as women, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC artists please repost for reach ❤️🙏

I have an aversion to the sound of fretless bass. But I love the sound Percy Jones gets. It's more defined and less of that whiny buzz. Basically all other fretless bass I've heard sounds terrible to me. #importantSaturdaythoughts

The 101ers "Keys To My Heart" just came on at this bar and I'm thinking about Jeremy Blake. ❤️

At my local bar and a Stephen Merrit song comes on. I don't hear his lovely voice often these days- immediately gave me deja vu. My band, Glorified Magnified, did a remix for him in the 90s. Hopeless (Remix by Glorified Magnified) on.soundcloud.com/DHUWVYasZpLy...

Ezra Levin: There is a unified opposition party now in a way we haven't seen it in the 11 months since the election, and we're seeing it now not because it just magically occurred...People all over the country are pissed off, and they're letting their reps and senators know. @indivisible.org

Just waiting for my train, reading Micahel Ondaatje's "The Conversations" (interviews with the excellent Walter Murch) and this little dude alighted upon my knee. Yes I know it's a Lantern fly. I've killed my share of them but I decided to let this gregarious insect friend live.

4-6 year olds are the most inspiring creatures. Full of courage, imagination, seeing every human as potential best friend, loyal to all... Then there are those with difficult environments or physical/chemical hurdles. It's so unfair that such small creatures have to endure such hardships. #freegaza

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

I miss this record like an old friend. An old friend who had been in a series of shitty relationships. It was a moment for me. ❤️

Katya Komisaruk, American hero. She broke into a lab with a main frame computer used for calculatung "first strike" capability for the US. She smashed it into a thousand pieces and left cookies for the guards. Learn about her. share.google/6O3yperttNae...

Jesus Christ what a trash fire this country is. Trying to do self-care... This ramen could be a nuclear grade pleasure delivery system and still be insufficient.

Fully intended to go without dinner tonight due to late lunch but trains were not running and I had to take a shuttle bus and then walk for 15 minutes, so this is the plan now. I feel like I was pushed into this decision.

American Genius (for real tho) Part 5- this band hit the new york punk scene in the late 70s, and blew my mind. I had heard art rock. I had heard punk rock. But this was truly unique for it's time. Vanessa, Michael, Curtis and Randy. Absolute genius. ❤️ I'll end my list there. Thanks for listening.

American Genius (for real tho) Part 4- I spent hours upon hours learning these songs, or a rough approximation of them when I was a teen. Hugely important to me. Leo Kottke. Humorist. Weirdo. Genius guitarist.

American Genius (for real tho) Part 3- I wanted to post Woddy Guthrie's "This Land..." but I can't find a recording of him singing the lesser known verses, which really give it all meaning. So I'll post two great folk musicians who really changed my musical career. First, John Fahey.

American Genius (for real tho) Part 3- Hank Sr. kicked ass. We need this part of America to understand the whole. This song is sweet and hilarious.

American genius (for real tho) Part 2. Bring this shit back. Sly, recently departed, always remembered.

For a long time, the rest of the world looked to America as a beacon of freedom. We now find ourselves in a time when very dark clouds have obscured that promise and it sickens me. So this might feel more like a tribute to what was, but, to me, this is American genius. Bless Leon Russel. ❤️

Coming this Friday! Come show some love for Troma. Come see some twisted films and meet some twisted (in a good way) people. We're go on at 8pm in the back room at Pine Box Rock Shop, Brooklyn. @diydestruction.bsky.social
