I am a sucker for the stuff that Bill Laswell does, his Marley Dreams of Freedom cd was on in the background for like five years of my life, this new thing with Pharaoh Sanders, which had somehow slipped past my radar, is great:
With A Heartbeat, by Pharoah Sanders, Bill Laswell

thought my bandcamp Friday was complete, but it was not.
Mr. Completely@brokensymmetry.art · 4h agoAfter a couple decades of buying reissues of 1970s African music (afrobeat and otherwise, heavily West African but from an over) my 2nd favorite act/artist remains L'Orchestre Poly-Rythmo De Cotonou. Fela remains king obviously Finally snagging this gem analogafrica.bandcamp.com/album/antoin...
When I worked for The Onion, practically everyone who visited the office would ask how they could submit headlines. This one stoner delivery guy was so persistent, we finally told him he could submit 10 headlines on spec and we'd take a look. First one on his list was "Shit and poop are Stinky!!!"
Jon Bois@jonbois.bsky.social · yesterdayif i wrote for the onion i'd write a headline that was like "Breaking News: The president is an orange!" and then you'd click it and the article would be like "An orange-haired no-good crook, that is!" that might seem a little mean-spirited but the way i see it, i'd get a click and you'd get a laugh
anyone interested in purchasing my weekend pass to Sound and Gravity in Chicago next weekend? or know of anyone else who might?
all I want out of my password management software is for it to safely house my passwords, but now today I realized I also want them to not support ethnic cleansing
Thought this was about Dorothy Ashby and I was like whatâs up with this pic

Marisa Andersonâs new album is amazing, the conceit is genius (folk music from places the US has been in conflict with during her/our lifetime). Creative idea, but then she absolutely rips. Go see her play this music if you can.
The Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music, by Marisa Anderson

I am really surprised this album isn't getting more attention. It's fun, groovy, and sounds REALLY good. I don't think I have heard a single track on KMHD! Must just be barely missing it or something. Nate Smith is just the absolute hardest drummer.

Absolutely yes. Incredible thread that nails 2026 and trying to be a consumer.
man, just saw Dolly Parton passed away and my response was an audible NOOOOO. what a gut punch. also what an amazing and inspiring life she led. pushing us all to do and be a little better.
Man, Mexico City is amazing. Easily one of the best cities I have ever visited.
I think I am prob the only person who began the week seeing Gillian Welch and David Rawlings and ended it seeing Rosalia. Two wonderful life affirming experiences which couldnât be much more different. Live music!!
Typos, equipment failures, off my game this weekend! Haha. The run of four Reckoning shows was so good. Some thoughts!
Underrated little thing from these Gillian/Dave shows: Gillian singing âwell I married me a wife sheâs been trouble all my lifeâ with a big big smile
Just saw Marisa Anderson is in the house for the Gillian and David show. Good stuff!
Live Music Archive picked an annoying day to start having network issues lol. Will have last nights Gillian show up as soon as thatâs resolved. Also they fixed whatever was causing their vocal mics to clip on Fri night, and boosted Paul in the mix, sound was way better.
I could listen to Gillian and Dave groove out Deep Elem every night.
Happy to report that Gillian and David are extremely my jam.
The other highlight for me was David Rawlings guitar tone. It's perfection. Felt like there were some unusual audio problems last night with the vocal mics, would imagine that gets sorted tonight. Funnily enough I had my own (perhaps less unusual) audio problems, something must have been in the air.
Highlight for me from last nights Gillian Welch / David Rawlings show: New Minglewood Blues. They grooved it out, and then it also feels timely as we are living in what feels like the aftermath of a global-level Monterey pop festival debacle. This darkness got to give man.
Barry Walker Unit from this week's Polaris Hall show is now up. Love, love love the gentle unfolding of the first tune, the vibe was mellow and the band just stretched out. Good stuff.

that update is for all you night owl geologist/pedal steel sickos
uploading this week's Barry Walker Unit show to the live music archive has been a ten hour ordeal, like the behind the scenes processing has been super slow. show will be up tomorrow though! it's the best sounding recording I have gotten from a BWU show yet.
David Bowie wore the famous zig-zag âlightning boltâ face make-up just once: for the Aladdin Sane album cover shoot in January 1973. Just that one time.
Riley Bruce@rileybruce.bsky.social · 3w agoWhatâs a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?
PA music for the empty room before the Barry Walker Unit show is Eno/Budd so rest assured the stage is truly set haha.
