Correction: My pal Blade Hunter (DJ for Club Connection on Radio 21 back in the day) will be MCing with ace percussionist Djemben at the Mairie in #Mouscron this Sunday. The idea is to improvise over classic 80s foot-stampers. Terry Plume will be spinning the music

In these awful times, allow me to share this bittersweet memory

Before losing her life in 1986 aboard Space Shuttle Challenger, Christa McAuliffe was set to be the first teacher in space with plans to teach a lesson to kids around the world from orbit. Today is her birthday, and even now, her courage and dedication to education continues to inspire.

RIP - but an opportunity to post a great quote

lighthouse prince@historiancole.bsky.social · 3mo ago

"Because I had the legs for it."-- Tim Curry on why the original Rocky Horror costumer put him in the corset, from his memoir Vagabond

RIP #Dolly. The panache, the talent, the humanity, the humour, the generosity - and the fact that she wrote "Jolene" and "I Wil Always Love You" on the same day!! #songwriting

Confidence is a byproduct, not a prerequisite. This quote from Trygge Toven is relevant to everyone that hums and haws about the final final mix. If you're waiting for total confidence before finishing, you'll wait a long time (and someone else will likely get your spot). #writerslife

My pal M'Tiss says he's the Prince de Balard in this track from a few years back. Now available on Amazon amazon.fr/music/player... #rapfrançais #frencgrap
