You could say that… Or you could say we’re being reminded we took a wrong turn, & should go back & choose the other fork in the road, cos this one led to a technocracy & musicians not being paid. #MusicSky #MusicianSky

It’s also never ‘aunt’ either. Lovely though she was, I never texted her, & - for reasons you’ve just gathered - hear from her about half as often.

Hot dark blue August summer night music. This song sounds so much like it could've been written & sung by Erykah Badu that I almost have a Mandala Effect thing with it, & hear it on the 'Baduizm Live' record. #MusicSky #MusicianSky #JeffBuckley youtu.be/nrMwgTc69y4?...

Heavens. I have a the most terrifying feeling of hope today, & have no idea where it came from & why it's here.

If you haven't seen the film -- which UK Film Review called "more than a documentary -- it's a strong-willed and unapologetic spotlight on American culture and racial history" -- then please check it out and spread the word. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM-J...

Shoutout to musicians, gotta be one of my favorite genders #MusicSky #MusicianSky

A day revisiting old texts young me bought. I use them now & see how inseparable being a musician is from research - questioning what I'm making & why. Here's a tiny selection. I'm always most inspired by the Chipp but am so glad they all found me. #MusicSky #MusicianSky #AcademicSky

That feeling when you're researching & writing... & you know you're on to something... & then you keep following the white rabbit of writing... reading, researching, writing some more... & find out... yes... you are... you are on to something. That. That little hit. #WriterSky #HESky

Have found myself lately clinging to the people in my life, whether IRL friends or trusted online besties, who still think through things for themselves and prioritize the real and that phrase just hit it so hard

Rhiannon Giddens just posted a video in which she uses the phrase “there is a war on what’s real” that has me sobbing

The look of 200 people pretending they can hear chord substitutions. #MusicSky #MusicianSky #JazzSky

It wouldn't be Spanish to not push something well past it's bedtime, so how about more celebration 🇪🇸 This iconic Basque song's still transmitted as a symbol of pride for its 'sardineras', who'd search barefoot for buyers on unpaved roads. #MusicSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rxf...

Day 7 🇪🇸 ... & we can't talk about Segovia without mentioning Paco Peña. Aside from his interpretations of classical forms, his take on flamenco structural rhythms in his own compositions (like this one) are real masterpieces. #MusicSky #Flamenco #GuitarSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGgZ...

Day 5 🇪🇸 Allow me to pull on a couple of yesterday's threads & head to Cuba for this rhythmically astonishing salsa tune. We can't lay claim to this - certainly not with any sense of pride - but it's & fitting for a Friday. The party starts at 1.20 💃 #MusicSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN9K...

We’ll step into my office - as any of my band mates will testify, I love long-form songs (just slightly more than I love miniatures). I love hearing them. I love writing them. This, for me, has to be one of the Goliaths of long-form. #SongSky #MusicSky #ToriAmos youtu.be/JMhdLspttjE?...

If a song is over six minutes long, it had better be worth it. Which one absolutely is?

Then on the theme of loss: The song’s about a man who transforms into a dove to watch over his lost love’s home 😭 I must’ve posted this before, but this improvised interpretation of this Mexican classic is well worth a repost. #MusicSky youtu.be/C_FmwVdeC6I?...

Listening to this in the dark. Here's to Oliver Jones; another beautiful life dedicated to the service of music. I love his tone. Here he is playing with (his mentor) Oscar Peterson - hearing this today sounds like his life's victory lap. #JazzSky #Jazz youtu.be/4QELTPwVNzg?...

I might be missing something. Truly. But my impression from being around LLMs so far is that anybody who takes "AI detection" tools as a serious and final verdict on student work is... misinformed, to put it kindly.

oh come on

Continuing with Spanish music/football theme (Iglesias was a goalie): My childhood was laced with this sound/feel: shimmering other-worldly reverb, coupled with poignant lyrics & sincere delivery. I can’t help still wanting to hear it on long summer-night drives. #MusicSky youtu.be/xkxcYXfS8Tk?...
