Its taken a lifetime but the Internet has delivered something I always dreamed about in the back of my head. From an IG entity called TurboIsland, not sure if this will be a real T-shirt or is just a tribute. Either way it is great fun. #captainbeefheart #capncrunch #safeasmilk #musicsky #music

The new Definitive Sound Series edition of Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On is my featured Analog Planet review. Learn how this bested an original 1973-era LP & also how Michael McDonald (Doobie Bros, Steely Dan) may have been influenced by it . #musicsky #music www.analogplanet.com/content/marv...

SomehowI missed that amazing singer Michael McDonald likely found his signature harmonic blend for The Doobie Brothers & Steely Dan on this 1973 Marvin Gaye song. I discuss it in my review of the new DSS audiophile remaster on Analog Planet (dot com). #musicsky #music www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTGA...

Meliorating my sore muscles into Monday after a busy partial working weekend (which left parts of me rightly aching) with this lush-quiet 1975 Cal Tjader w/ strings LP. Another gem from last month's dollarparkinglotsale. #musicsky #jazzsky #music #jazz

I behaved at today's record swap meet where I was mostly too busy purging than acquiring. But I did grab this one little well loved but vibrant 1962 gem for $5. There always seems to be another Cannonball Adderley album emerging just when you thought you had them all. #musicsky #jazzsky #music #jazz

We just saw this wonderful French #film,The Marching Band (currently showing at Opera Plaza for you local San Franciscans). No spoilers, but it is a powerful, beautifully written, acted & produced story which will make you smile & cry (at times simultaneously). Go see it. #movies #arthouse #cinema

See u there!

BREAKING: Our banned interview with Kimmel generated 6 million views on YouTube.

I got 2 of these UK 2LP 180-g (mono/stereo) reissues of The Kinks' Village Green Preservation Society in 2011 when released. I'm purging 1 at KUSF's Rock 'n Swap this Sunday. Sounds great even on splatter vinyl, better than current BMG editions. Perfect foggy Friday morning music. #musicsky #music

ICYMI, more rats jumping from the ship... I just learned about this. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Tucker Carlson says he’ll no longer support the Republican Party

The comments come two months after Carlson expressed regret for supporting President Donald Trump.

Playing Coltrane's Ascension is always rewarding. This new Verve Vault complete 2LP set includes Editions I & II plus restorative edit, pressed at Optimal. Should I purge my OG Edition II (keeping the mono Edition I)? My review on eCoustics. #musicsky #jazzsky #jazz www.ecoustics.com/music/john-c...

Proof-reading a review, it felt good telling my spell-check to learn the phrase: "doo-wop" #musicsky #music

The Supreme Court handed Democrats a significant victory Thursday in Missouri's gerrymandering battle, blocking a GOP push to use a map likely to give Republicans another House seat. The high court granted an emergency appeal that will mandate the use of existing district lines in the midterms.

Supreme Court appears to kill GOP redistricting hopes in Missouri

The justices set aside a federal judge’s order that effectively required the state to use a new plan that was likely to net Republicans a House seat.

For me, this is the "influencer" part of social media I do like, when I can help steer people in the right direction. In this case, an IG creator who dissects vintage #animation was exploring why Peter Lorre appeared not only in Coyote vs. Acme movie but many golden-era WB #cartoons. Cont'd #film

Chu Chu Ch' Boogie - I've long seen saxman Chu Berry's name on album credits but never had a comp of his stuff so this remarkably clean 1955 set of 30s side found at last month's dollarparkinglotsale fit the bill perfectly. Fun stuff. #musicsky #jazzsky #jazz #music #vinyl

Despite some seam splits (which I've taped from inside) the #vinyl on this likely mid-50s Rudy Van Gelder-mastered collection of '40s Cozy Cole sides was in good shape so it came home (thrift find). One side features Coleman Hawkins, the other Ben Webster. Nice swingin' stuff. #musicsky #jazzsky

Several Elvis Costello grails stilll elude me but tonight I think I found a true original Canadian promo of the much-pirated Live at El Mocambo LP. Banded (vs. the single track boot), this sounds a much better / clearer. 8bux in the new arrivals bin at Amoeba. #musicsky #music #vinyl

My review of the new Verve Vault edition of John Coltrane's Ascension is now on eCoustics (dot com). #musicsky #music #jazzsky #jazz www.ecoustics.com/music/john-c...

You don't often see albums by #jazz bassist Major Holley. 1070 private press has surprising charms. Was going to remove the brail label but noticed that pianist Eddie Thompson was blind so felt better to leave it. Another from last month's 1$parkinglotsale in Redwood City. #musicsky #jazzsky #music

Like rare Blue Note, Prestige & Impulse LPs, I'll often grab old (cheap!) Tico records even if the vinyl looks dicey. Despite scuffs, this 1956 Tito Puente sounds OK, some tics 'n pops but no skips. Plenty of swing left in the grooves. Way more upbeat than it looks too! Thrift find. #musicsky #music

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

Zappa Fans: I've got an earworm for a mad riff on this 1947 side by Wild Bill Moore which I think (not sure) Zappa may have referenced somewhere but I can't place it. Clues? #musicsky #music #jazzsky #jazz #blues #zappa youtu.be/FjhEuI88-Zw?...

In 1970, when the Republican Party was very different than it is today, New York Republican Sen. Jacob Javits advanced a proposal that gave birth to the idea of Medicare for All. foreignpolicy.com/2026/09/08/r...

The Republican Origins of Medicare for All

A plan that a GOP senator proudly championed in 1970 is today seen as radical.
