Wow - hope you are OK. Looks awful.

“Content” is created for others to consume. To fill a bottomless void created by corporations.

Art is something we create for ourselves. To fill our own soul.

We need more artists in this world.
About the same. Little bit of a quiet year on our street, it's usually 2x that. Had a nice walk to look at all the costumes tho, which was fun for me and a bit scary for the dog.
When you get there, will you become Tidy Music?
Excited to be part of this and help raise funds for human rights! Amazed at the talent that's participating, and awesome of @kiffie.info to be spearheading this.

THE WEAPON AND THE SHIELD

Russ Somers!

We are very happy to announce that @rsomers.bsky.social is on Vol. 1 of The Weapon and The Shield, a #protest music compilation featuring 37 artists raising money to help defend human rights for all...
Absolutely! I mean, the metric system is better by a country mile!
What a great quote! Had not heard it, but beautifully said.
If the universe is eternal and love is not, that makes love all the more important. Our calling is to keep that candle burning against the darkness for as long as possible, knowing that it will ultimately burn out.
Nicely said. For me it manifests as that feeling of “I just got back from somewhere” after listening
Great adds to the list. Not as big a Dead fan as you, as you know, but TS meets that “creates its own world”criterion nicely and is my favorite of theirs. DsotM certainly does too. Now I need to listen to Apollo 18 (an album I like) both on shuffle and in the programmed order.
My next album will be called All the Coolest People are Kinda Fucked Up in the Head. Maybe. But probably not.
That album is kind of its own world. Maybe that’s part of being a perfect album.
What’s the most perfect album ever? (“Perfect” can mean whatever you want it to).

For me, it’s Loaded by Velvet Underground, or maybe Village Green Preservation Society by the Kinks.

What’s yours?
Listening to the song now. I've always been fascinated by static, by the radio stations you could _almost_ hear as you scanned the dial, and by the test patterns broadcast TV stations used to show after hours. So this vibe absolutely hooks me!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
Kate Capshaw (Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom) was a math teacher at my high school before she started her acting career.
A couple weeks ago my wife and I spent a Saturday shooting footage for this. Super happy with how it came out. Kristi may not like it tho. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tomy...

Watched Dig! XX and was reminded that no matter how great the bands involved (and I love BJM and Dandy Warhols), all rock'n'roll imitates Spinal Tap.
Had not thought of that and thank you for the warning.
They dip French fries in mayo in the Netherlands. And I can get into that.
Thinking about buying a Subaru, but the radios only tune to NPR and a warning light goes in if you haven’t had your Covid shot.

I might be ok with all of that, even if I just made it up.
Seems like a lie, in the simplest terms. For purpose of managing appearances. I am still on X - hard to give up a handle I’ve had since Twitter was maybe 10K people - but rarely visit. I should probably just leave as I see no hope for the place.
I’ve been playing this Harmony Rocket a lot lately and am just in love with what the gold foil pickups can do with slide. David Lindley knew what was up.
