First time doing a Raku firing. This sure was fun! #ceramics #PotterySky #pottery

#NowSpinning Bill Evans: Behind the Dikes, 1969 Netherlands with Eddie Gomez (bass) and Marty Morell *drums). (Elemental, RSD, LE) #jazz #vinyl

Matcha time My latest chawan from cone 10 BMix. Love the blue drips and the kiln baked orange of the bare clay. Lovely Uji-Hikari matcha from Tezumi. #tea #pottery #ceramics

So much awesome news in last night's AZ elections. 1. My city voted in a 💙-backed (I) mayor for the first time in 8 yrs against a Rep House member. 1/

That theme song was stuck in my head at a very early age. Plas Johnson leaves a deep catalog of fine tunes.

Good feels for Duran! Way to go Sox! ⚾️🧹

#NowSpinning Tales from Topographic Oceans - Yes After seeing Jon, this past week, sing the "Leaves of Green" passage from The Ancient, it was time to listen to the full play. I'm always torn on these albums. Most of the playing is wonderfully Yes, while other bits show their dysfunction. #ProgSky

#NowSpinning The Soft Boys - Two Halves for the Price of One @robynhitchcock.bsky.social

Saw the wonderful Jon Anderson & the Band Geeks last night in PHX. Quite the magical show. Jon's voice is still crystal clear and the Band was spot on. CttE, Awaken, Soon, Leaves of Green, All Good Peeps, AndYouAndI, Perpetual, Trooper, and a few new ones sprinkled in. #ProgSky

I'm at a Stop & Shop near Foxborough today and a member of the Tartan Army in full kilt is frantically walking/running down the aisle. Is there beer sold here? Where is it? (look of desperation) Ya, it's right over there (points) Yaaaahhh! Is there a limit to how much I can buy? #Scots #WorldCup

Happy Barack Obama Appreciation Day (complete with Nobel Peace prize)

Dinner #pork #wine #Muga w/roasties, roasted red peppers, and romesco sauce.

Thursday vibes. Man, this artist has a lot to say. Really fluid blend of beat, hip-hop, dub, world, experimental, percussive flow with some jazzy organ pushing and pulling. #RadiusEtc Radius Alive & Thriving (2026, The Consumers Research & Development label)

The legendary James Blood Ulmer has passed. His music led me to Arthur Blythe, then to Ronald Shannon Jackson, which, in turn, led me to Vernon Reid. #jazz #blues #guitarist

WIP Took my leftover block pieces from nerikomi class and wedged them together in groups. Cut thick (10mm) slabs and formed, slab by slab, by compressing/ pinching. This is, by far, the tallest (46cm) piece I've tried Once leather hard, will surform and scrap to form. #pottery #ceramics

#NowSpinning The warm baritone sax tones of Serge Chaloff with Sonny Clark, Philly Joe Jones, and Leroy Vinnegar. Recorded in 1956, 2 weeks before Serge was diagnosed with spinal cancer that would take his life within the year. Blue Serge (Blue Note Tone Poet, 2025) #vinyl #VinylCommunity #MusicSky

It's going to be a long afternoon for the Red Sox bullpen.

#NowSpinning The great (and I mean, GREAT) LaPeste! So many sweat-filled nights at The Rat, Inn Square, Cantone's, and the Underground listening to this powerhouse trio. New unreleased studio and loft recordings plus other gems. #Boston #punk @lapeste76.bsky.social

tRump will blame an unnamed aide that won't be fired. Johnson will claim he never saw it. Leavitt will berate a reporter for asking about it. Maga will continue to worship their false prophet. Fuck all of them.

#NowSpinning Such a tender, forlorn, melancholy album from Frank. This release is a beauty. Crystal clear ringing in his voice. Brilliant balance with the band. Lovely remaster from Kevin Gray. In the Wee Small Hours - Frank Sinatra. (2025, Blue Note, Tone Poet, 180g, mono)

#NowSpinning A Saucerful of Secrets - Pink Floyd (2019 remaster, AAA, mono) #vinyl #VinylCommunity

Working on a nerikomi piece inspired by Sir Terry Frost. This semester I'm starting each block with the same 4 colors then adding additional color as needed. Good challenge doing circle, circle in a square. #ceramics #pottery

It's time that the media stop referring to trump's $1.5bn request as for "defense spending". He has a Dept of War so the request is explicitly for "war spending". Let that play out in all the headlines.

Last night I stumbled onto the offering for Angine de Poitrine, Vol II (vinyl) and scooped it up. Who needs AI when you have Klek and Khn! #music youtu.be/t7OIc-DBRXM?...
