Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Clint Conley from Mission Of Burma … In a sea of Roger Miller songs, the biggest hits of each phase of the band are Clint’s: Peking Spring, Academy Fight Song, That’s When I Reach for My Revolver, That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate, 2wice, etc 140
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Because of A (the horrors of modern agriculture, transportation infrastructure, industrial technology, etc), we ought to be vegan, which is enabled by B (the wonders of modern agriculture, transportation, and industrial technology, etc). 030
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Whatever you’re arguing with, it isn’t what I’m saying. 101
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Fair enough; I did mean most places people lived, not necessarily most people. Food aside, which civilization (anywhere) didn't depend on animals to plow, haul, wage war, make shoes and musical instruments, as transportation, etc.? 100
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Pre-modern “vegans” were privileged or in especially favorable climates. For the vast proportion of humanity it was not (practically) possible until recently, post Industrial and Green Revolutions, freezers, plastics, etc. Concomitant with increased scale of animal exploitation (thus “necessary”). 201
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Yep. Veganism is both made possible by, and made necessary by, mass production industrial scale agriculture. 4712

Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 13/08/2026That station is literally a parking garage. A sad symptom of the regional neighborhood-level public transit being so inadequate. 010

Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Will these be permanent or are they scheduled to be removed after our very important summer events? 110
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 29/05/2026We mean Point Break not Point Blank, right? The parts that work (Swayze, editing, locations, production design, beautiful people being beautiful, some of the jokes and action scenes) work really well … almost bringing Godard back to a Hollywood genre flick. But other aspects don’t succeed so much. 030
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 26/05/2026That trombone player was probably Sonny’s nephew … not sure if that makes it better or worse 110
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 26/05/2026all in their 90s: Toshiko Akiyoshi, Kenny Burrell, Abdullah Ibrahim, George Coleman, Cecil McBee. But definitely different eras and sub-genres of prominence 010
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 24/05/2026No joke if someone wants to do this in Atlantic City I can help coordinate from the Philly side 020
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 20/05/2026There’s a huge amount of animated Star Wars that I have never seen. The 80s Droids and Ewok cartoons are retro charming. 010
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Andor is great (though grown up); watch w Rogue One. Skeleton Crew is good (more kid-level). New trilogy (BB-8 et al) overall enjoyable. Mandalorian TV (incl Book of Boba) is good but baggy. The other live action shows are for completists only. Solo good if you like Chewy. Prequels are atrocities. 110
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Yeah, I think mine may have been more specialized because it was finished related? But it would’ve cost me more than a new guitar to get it to and from rural Connecticut (lmk if you ever want to get more into diy guitar repair. safer than fixing bikes!) 000
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Yes, but their authorized service centers may not be conveniently located. The finish on my Baby Taylor was peeling and they wanted me to take it from NYC to Connecticut. (No need for regular neck reset on BTs; you can shim them because of the drywall screws!) 100
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Dark merits eyes-on viewing, but also merits repeat viewings, and by the time that rolls around, you’ll know if you like it enough to care. 110
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 17/04/2026I’m not anti-speed camera, but I don’t see how they would’ve prevented today’s crash. 110
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 15/04/2026I totally agree and it’s one of the few things that makes me unhappy being a night owl (especially a night owl who doesn’t purposefully stay up til dawn anymore) 120
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 14/04/2026I’ve been loving the virtual card for a month or so! (The way it worked before is you could log into the website, click through several levels of menus, and then find a page with your number unclearly labeled. I do have a physical card, but I don’t mind not carrying it around every day.) 020
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Throw healthcare, childcare, and education on that list, too. (Even if they don‘t meet a definition of “ongoing,” the saving and/or debt payoffs for them would.) 000
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Primer is the only movie I watched three times in one night while reading explainers in between. It’s brilliant. 010
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 26/03/2026same, and great examples of things that I wish had been taught in school and wasn’t 010
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I was basically in anti-Who person until I a coworker w taste told me if I didn’t like the Who, I should listen to “The Who Sell Out.” I genuinely love it as an album, and many of the individual songs including ICSFM. Very little of their other work can touch it! 020
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 25/03/2026More than Nirvana, Green Day, Guns and Roses, Radiohead? (I assume we mean "guitar rock bands" here.) 001
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Yeah, building new nuclear capacity now instead of new solar and wind is nuts. 010
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Do you have a source to recommend for how nuclear is net worse than fossil fuels? The big anti-nuclear-power movements were before my time, but I got the sense it was a mix of anti-nuclear-weapon overflow, technophobia, and fossil-fuel astroturfing. (Obviously renewables are superior to both!) 211
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 13/03/2026It 100% is their best album but so is Drums & Wires and also Skylarking 030
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 02/03/2026I got first position chords sus2 and sus4 from playing rudimentary Neil Young and Bowie in the early 90s. Instant Harvest Moon, Ziggy Stardust, etc. Probably via REM too? 120
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 02/03/2026I think I internalized the Townsend approach very early, but because I found Daltrey so annoying it’s taken me decades to acknowledge it. I accepted it secondarily via the Clash and Mick Ronson. 010
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Yep. That the G string goes out of tune more often than the other strings is a common problem for reasons unrelated to overall guitar intonation. 150
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 24/02/2026To me, Paperback Writer *is* the classic Rick sound. (And Chapman Stick is the quintessential prog bass.) But I was a mere toddler in the 70s, and I can see how the Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, et al sound would be more associated via visual media of the era. 110
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Hmm… McCartney switched to Rickenbacker in 1965. And Foxton was very visibly playing Rickenbacker in the Jam by 1977 when they were still “punk” 120
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Both that and the Country Music one could have been fine if they just stopped their histories earlier. They are decent on origins (the first ~50 years) and then fumble the “recent” past (the following ~50 years) in unforgivable ways. 030
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Just been walking in South Philly post rain and sorry to report everything is still grimy and there are still giant piles of snow 000
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 19/02/2026This seems like an ok place to drop a link to my transcribed score of "By This River" ... maybe it will lead to even more versions! musescore.com/user/3596370...musescore.comBy This RiverDownload and print in PDF or MIDI free sheet music of by this river - Brian Eno for By This River by Brian Eno arranged by jasondas for Piano, Vocals, Synthesizer (Mixed Ensemble) 120
Jason Das @floodfish.bsky.social · 19/02/2026The common idea being they were prioritizing their own creative exploration/expression over other motivations for making music: high sales, making people dance, advertising products, praising divinities, pleasing patrons, etc. 010
