Talk to my Primary Care Provider? Brother, I am well acquainted with the power of Prayer.

Talk to “my primary care provider”? …i dont see what My Wife has to do with any of this,

God bless WNYC and their good intentions, but putting on a couple of people, one of whom is going on about LBJ and Reagan and Tip O'Neill "sitting down and working things out," is confirmation of how fucking far out of touch even the kind of Republicans who call in to WNYC still are. Shit changed.

Remember when the NFL banished Colin Kaepernick for life for kneeling during the US anthem to raise awareness about police brutality and racial inequality?

I would be interested in the 4 interesting answers, & it was a fun little exercise. "Stalin" did not occur to me (although I am dull as dishwater). The prompt did make me go back and check my memory of the story of The Grand Inquisitor, who I am sure has been named and may not even be a "villain."

GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · 4d ago

there are almost 600 qts of this and maybe 4 interesting answers, i think it’s just honestly difficult to answer without going back the same old comic book, or anime characters or answering, like, “stalin” because you’re as edgy as a butter knife and made your whole personality about it

Listening to this one again because it fucking rocks and the rising little chromatic figure always kind of takes me by surprise. @th1ccarus.bsky.social do you like Swell Maps? It is funny to me that they can do something like this and then a whole track that is just stoned babbling nonsense.

Was talking music with a friend last Saturday, told him I just started listening to Swell Maps. He was shocked and disgusted but I said "why the fuck didn't you tell me about Swell Maps?" and he said, fairly, "I can't tell you fucking everything for fuck sake" but I still blame him and everyone.

Trumpet-botherer, Louis Armstrong is doing Mack the Knife on telly so I'll tell you a tenuously linked story. I was -many moons ago- dragged to a karaoke night at an extremely rough bar in Glasgow by a mate whose girlfriend's gangster dad had taken him there a few weeks before "with no bother".

That one below and this one here are the two Mescaleros songs I will play on any jukebox in range with no warning whatsoever and no remorse, because everyone needs to hear them and if they have already heard them then good, you need to hear them again.

The artists who labor in compassion to bring comfort and refuge are all enlightened; but a Bodhisattva is never far from a noble truth: "I don't have any other message than don't forget you are alive" - Joe Strummer

One of the things I like about this is how it touches on, if only briefly, concepts of Authenticity and The Importance Of Music and other things that make musicians and fans so very invested, and so very touchy, and - at times - such dismissive assholes about anything they consider unworthy.

Tim Waits@ironweed.bsky.social · 5d ago

A lot of music books and documentaries leave me pretty cold as well, but I recall very much enjoying The Future Is Unwritten, which could be just because I like Joe Strummer much and other people's mileage may, as they say, vary. And it appears to be available if anyone is interested.

When you make a one of a kind pair you love a lot that you kinda want to keep for yourself.

All journalism is ideological because any way you choose to connect unique dots is an ideological choice. It’s obvious the NYT has it out for Mamdani. Despicable for them to make this comparison

Gregg Levine@greggjlevine.bsky.social · 5d ago

Certainly a choice—but maybe not as WTF? as choosing to add this graf: “Antisemitism is on the rise, & some Jewish NYers are uneasy w/ the leadership of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, most recently after the stabbing of 2 men last week in broad daylight, one of whom was leaving a Jewish community center….“

This was pretty decent

“Scientists don’t want you to know” you don’t know any scientists because if you did you’d know they are chomping at the bit to tell you everything about their field of study and new discoveries

incredible how much less energy it takes, too, to simply shut up if you don't care rather than to make a spectacle out of your unconcern

I keenly miss the DLV Lounge and being able to talk to George Marable, when he was in the mood to talk to me. I knew he was a legend from the moment I walked in, and if he was sitting talking with his pals I would wait as long as it took to get a drink, and be grateful to be noticed.

Film you've watched more than 6 times, with a gif. Hard Mode: No Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

If you had to choose between these two ancient pieces of cinema, and I know how difficult it might be, would it be New Jack City or King of New York having just watched the latter I am leaning toward that one. It is a prose poem, NJC is a Shakespeare play.

This should be a good laugh.

If I’m reading this correctly, Americans think Christians, atheists, and Muslims together make up over 100 percent of the population.

This actually explains something about how people talk about the Jewish community.

Seeing an Irish guy squander his natural advantage with an American, people who have largely been indoctrinated into believing that the Irish are charming and funny and have lovely accents, is particularly tragic. He could have played off almost anything else as just a bit of craic.
