I always thought it was badass for Cartoon Network to commission Sonny Sharrock to record the Space Ghost Coast To Coast theme song. #cartoonnetwork #sonnysharrock #spaceghost

I will never get used to how Donald Trump always sounds like a fifth-grader on his death bed.

I'm watching Zulawski's Possession, and it's ironic that Sam Neill's character plays a private investigator, yet he doesn't even know his wife's been seeing someone behind his back for years. #zulawski #possession #adjani

Bert Jansch - The Dusty Wright Show

One of the last interviews Bert Jansch gave before his passing in 2011. I was happy to hear that he wasn't a big guitar collector and owned 25+ guitars. A very humble musician. #bertjansch #britishfolkmusic #pentangle

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 18d

Eels' slipperiness is the basis for the some of our oldest eel metaphors.

In the 5th C. BCE, the Greek poet Simonides wrote that a slippery character -- say, like, a politician who is running for office to avoid prison -- is “like an eel down in the slime."

And that's bad.
🗃️🧪

Meme. Colored medieval drawing of Simonides. You can tell it's him because his name is written above his head. Otherwise you might not know, because he is dressed very much like a medieval merchant. He is wearing a big maroon hat with a green band, and an orange cloak over a stylish black and yellow shirt. His yellow hair is long and flowing, and he is holding a book in his lap in his right hand. His face is lined with care or worry, and he is looking somewhere off to your left. He is not paying attention to you at all, really.

His thumb is holding his place in the middle of his book, and he looks like he's been interrupted in the middle of reading by some semi-distant disturbance. As if, somewhere off to your left, there is a bear trying to get onto a bus. The bear is apologetically looking for change to pay the fare, but everyone else is freaking out. Simonides is considering this scene, and writing a poem about it in his head.

Meme text reads:
"My best poetry
is eeligiac poetry"

Andy's review of Blues From Laurel Canyon

Pretty amazing clip on Mark Sandman from Morphine talking about his custom setups on his bass guitars, including one guitar with two guitar strings and one bass string that he uses on Murder For The Money. This is awesome. #marksandman #morphine
