🚨New on Phonautograph🚨

The follow-up to the first Four Way Hips album. This one's not recorded to a four-track, though.

Electronic with some Brazilian twists and big beats. I think it's a fun record.

If you like Cluster's Zuckerzeit this may be up your alley:

Because I work afternoons/evenings I have a pretty great morning routine. Wake up, drink some tea and listen to music, start making lunch if I need to and while that's going get in about 45 minutes/an hour of practice. Today I made this chicken soup with sauerkraut.

Just realized that since people have moved in the last few years we don't know any of our neighbours anymore. We only have the neighbourhood characters left like the old Polish man who yells, the people with all the dogs, the woman who walks down the street singing loudly/

yesterday @lizpelly.bsky.social joined us to kick off @newfeelingcoop.bsky.social's AGM and it was such an honour. i remember the excitement and validation everyone felt to see our co-op's name in the pages of Mood Machine when it came out, and last night's chat was equally affirming.

This week I am featuring Montreal Artist Ada Lea and her track Something in the Wind from her 2025 LP When I Paint my Masterpiece. This track is melodic, airy, and beautifully crafted. Be sure to check her out wherever you stream your music.

“That’s what music is—adventure.”
Happy birthday to Coleman Hawkins, b. 121 years ago today on 11/21/1904. I wrote this 3 years ago for Jazz Times about his late work between 1959-63, when his music turned another corner. There's a lot more to Hawk than "Body and Soul." jazztimes.com/features/col...

Excellent timing at the thrift store today.

These were all $2.50, disregard the price tags.

Some excellent stuff that I had to leave behind because no disk or too scratched like Elvin Jones with Art Pepper and Chris Potter.

🧵BREAKING NEWS: Beyond thrilled to report that the documentary I wrote & co-produced, "The Best of the Best: Jazz from Detroit," premieres December 9 on Prime Video. The most frequently asked question I get about the film is when and where can I see it? Now I have an answer.

There, I fixed it.

Hey @heliomass.com, I figure you'll know the answer to this. If I have an Opus card can I use the rides I've already purchased to take the REM? Or do I have to buy special REM tickets?
