Many years ago a record I was producing got derailed because the drummer learned his biological father was Marvin Gaye the night before the first session and he disappeared.

His vocabulary is so limited it’s like reading a transcript of Koko, the gorilla who knew sign language, if Koko were a white nationalist

Do you know that Democratic politicians in the State of New York could make life very very uncomfortable for James Dolan by actually using the levers of controls they have over MSG's tax status and future? And yet! bsky.app/profile/noah...

Prosecuting political corruption is always highly popular, even the NY Post gets a chubby for it. It’s the consultants and pundits who hate it. It affects the former’s revenue and bores the latter.

Ads for AI services for people who either don't have to work or who have bullshit jobs; an ad on repeat for a manscaper; a sentimental ad for air conditioning

the fact that SCOTUS is allowing Trump to do lawless shit 24/7 but some random judge in Staten Island can block the mayor and governor of New York from taxing decamillionaires’ second homes really reveals how utterly absurd our judicial system is

For @bandcamp.com I wrote about William Burroughs' cut-ups being cut up by James Ilgenfritz, Anne Waldman, Thurston Moore, and others

Anne Waldman, Thurston Moore, James Ilgenfritz & Anagram Ensemble, “The Travel Agency Is On Fire”
Cut-up poetry meets cut-up music on an album that must be heard to be believed.

it’s so funny that people were like “OMG a 2PM Oval Office announcement, is Trump going to end the war in Iran or invade Cuba?!?!” and it turns out, no, he’s just going to rant about how good the economy is + how elections are rigged and then fall asleep

If you claim to have never heard Nick Lutsko's "I Wanna Be at the RNC", it says more about you than the author of the Infowars theme song. People who make this claim expose a deeper issue in their psyche, allowing them to lie to themselves and the public to prove they are not woke rolling stones.

John Corbett’s talk at the Hyde Park Jazz Fest included samples of newly discovered recordings including: Roscoe solo doing A Jackson in Your House with complete lyrics - astonishing. Vonski playing a mambo in a strip club on alto in the 50’s. Plus John Gilmore (not that one)…

Principal Skinner: Is loving immigrants part of my moral duty? 

No, it's the Pope who is wrong!
