You know what I really fucking hate is typing on a phone. You know how long it took me to write this? Three hours!

Ah, a Montreal classic. Two all dressed steamies with relish, mustard, coleslaw and onion.
Got Coltrane's first chorus on Mr. Day under my fingers. Eb is tough for me, need to keep doing these scale exercises.
I inherited this from my uncle when I was a teen in the 90s because I listened to Endless Summer on cassette incessantly when I was a kid. It was my first exposure to Pet Sounds and Smile-era Beach Boys. Heroes And Villains blew my mind. The rest is live stuff, fine but unremarkable. This side is A+
I made kind of a weird loaf of bread. Half wheat flour, half masa harina. I also mangled it getting it out of the pot. It tastes not bad? I used the overnight Lahey fermentation. We'll see how the crumb is after it cools down. I used the masa because I had less flour than I thought.
If you're looking for a good podcast on jazz this one out of Australia hosted by American bassist Eric Ajaye is great. The latest episode is on Jack Dejohnette. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Jack DeJohnette was a titan of modern drumming. In fact, more than that, he was a masterful multi-instrumentalist, performing both behind the drums and, on occasion, at the piano. Discover his incredi...

I love my Global santoku knife but I use a thrift store Chinese chefs knife almost as much. It was beat to hell when I got it but I took it on as a rehabilitation project so I grinded the shit out of it with my water stones and now it's amazing. I think I paid two bucks for it.
I could give you 1000 different examples, but the most immediate answer to me is Fibrox Victorinox Kitchen Knives. They're not cheap, but compared to high-end kitchen knives, they are, and because of that, you don't feel guilty kicking the shit out of them.
Transcribing some Coltrane on Mr. Day and dude, concert F#? Ugh. youtu.be/8iTLJnVd5uE?...

Oh yeah? Well, how many of you have an autographed portrait of Little Jimmy Dickens?

New Yorkers; my wife and I are trying to remember the name of a Polish restaurant in Greenpoint that we went to about 15 years ago. No idea if it still exists.
The family are off to Ireland for two weeks today. If I don't have an album done by the time they get back call 911.

I didn't think much of this when I made it on New Year's Eve 2024 but listening to it now I think it's one of my best albums. During the recording of the Quinton Barnes Black Noise album Lucas, the drummer asked me if I'd ever made an ambient guitar album. No, I said. You should, he said. So, I did.

I only ever beat one video game and it was Double Dragon II the first time I ever played it.

Beans and sauerkraut for lunch. Lentils and cabbage for dinner.

I was expecting these to be edited seeing as how they're on 45 but no! These are the full length tracks printed to microgroove 45. Pretty sick! What manner of sorcery? So happy to have this is my collection.
Ex-fucking-scuse me?!??!!?
I am finally getting a tagine from my parents and I'm curious if any Bluesky folks ever cook with one and/or have favorite tagine recipes my twin's family lives in Morocco so obviously he can hook me up, but I'm interested in casting a wider net
Gentle Giant passes this test, by the way. Something very few prog bands do. I put on Playing The Fool while I was cooking one day and my wife and daughter started dancing to it.
One of my most immutable axioms is “nothing that only men like is good”
My dad asked me if I was going to Osheaga. A one day pass is over $400, so no, definitely not.
