@lastpositivist.bsky.social · 4w agoMatt Walsh complains that Nolan brought his obsession with nonlinear story telling to the Odyssey, undercutting the original's narrative. The defenders of western civilisation, folks.
The lost art of record collecting; homemade hot jazz and blues sleeves. All the records (often transcription discs) in this thread are housed in hand-drawn and hand-assembled jackets. True labours of love by the original collectors. This is a sub-set of folk art that deserves wider appreciation.
Had the pleasure of chatting with Roger McGuinn this afternoon, and let me tell you how much I was NOT expecting him to bust out his Rickenbacker and play the “Eight Miles High” riff for me. I will never recover!
Mostly I just hope this means Melt-Banana will announce some east coast dates. It's been simply too long since I've seen my favorite live band.

I’ve come around really hard on a few of the bands of that era that I hated at the time hit the goo goo dolls fucking suck and will always suck

Alice is a force & a total delight! We talked her collab w/ Hazel, Libba Cotten's chicken & dumplings, integrated tours in the South "chasing after a better world," women old-time musicians she knew, and how she taught her dog to bring her a beer from the fridge (and recycle the can afterwards)

all slot machines, etc., are tuned to the key of c, in order to keep casinos literally harmonious. which means you can play any recording of terry riley's "in c" over adrian rew's field recordings & it'll sound pretty magical. (or perhaps stage a guerilla performance of "in c" in a casino.)
Ned Raggett@nedraggett.bsky.social · 3mo agoThink I found a field recording release that @burningambulance.bsky.social would specifically approve of. You can feel the Elmore Leonard vibes.
I wouldn't call myself a boundless optimist, but I often wonder how much better the world would be if more people listened to Lungfish

Reality bath from @gelliottmorris.com: Given Biden approval rating & inflation/consumer sentiment, "the surprise of the [2024] election is that Harris did as well as she did...the Dem nominee was on track to lose the popular vote by 4 points. She lost by 1.5." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-dnc-au...

If you saw that Billy Joel documentary on HBO this year you know that this guy, the third wheel on BJ’s Long Island Polycule, the co-founder of Attila (BJ’s keyboard metal band) and director of the Uptown Girl video is the single most interesting person in it.
