Today "Virtual Insanity" by Jamiroquai is thirty years old. Shout out to an absolute classic, acid jazz track that perfectly encapsulates the anxiety of accelerating technology and society.

a few pictures from last week's event for Third Fridays at Hood Famous Cafe and Bar #seavinylsociety #seattle

A man in a gray hoodie and black cap DJs with Sony headphones around his neck, focused on a laptop and mixer glowing blue. A yellow “Shadow of the Colossus” vinyl sleeve sits nearby. Behind him, people watch from a wooden counter in a warmly lit, casual indoor space — likely a café or small music venue. Atmosphere is relaxed and engaged.

A smiling DJ in a gray sweatshirt and black cap stands at a glowing blue mixer, headphones around his neck, flashing peace signs with both hands. Behind him, a lively group of friends laugh and pose — some making peace signs, others with arms raised — in a warmly lit room with colorful wall art and a large speaker nearby. The mood is joyful and energetic, capturing a fun moment at a small indoor party or music event.

A man with glasses and a shaved head, wearing a black t-shirt and showing arm tattoos, laughs while covering his mouth with one hand at a café counter. Behind him, another man in a cream sweater and glasses leans over a tablet, likely processing a payment, with a barcode scanner glowing red nearby. The setting includes shelves of colorful tea boxes, a menu board listing drinks like “Turmeric Ginger” and “Golden Black,” and a modern, cozy café vibe with plants and warm lighting.

Wolf Alice’s The Clearing was a 2025 highlight for me — chunky guitars, a catchy piano that sneaks up on you, and Ellie Rowsell's soaring vocals wrapped in ’70s echo. You can feel a little of Carole King's "Tapestry" in songs like 'Just Two Girls' and 'The Sofa'. Watch […]
