Big talk by @jael.bsky.social, but, yeah, the one song I know by Macklemore is a lotta fun. He reminds me of Harry the Hipster Gibson, who did "Who Put the Benzedrine in Mrs Murphy's Ovaltine." youtu.be/rZ5_SyvxDXE

My favorite Sonny Sharrock is his stuff with Herbie Mann. Mann's goofiness is a good foil for Sharrock's heavy-handed touch.

"The Mosquito is an electronic siren that emits an annoying sound that is so annoying that people just want to leave the immediate area after a few minutes. It is not loud or painful, just very irritating."

The case for this being plain old misogyny is so natural that it’s hard to deny, but there’s also a case that it's about appreciating a strong woman. Dolly Dagger is like Tura Satana.

Patchstorage has added a Donation feature. This makes me happy. The patch creators are ridiculously generous. Until now you’d have to Patreon them, which rarely makes sense. (example page: patchstorage.com/rezonator/)

"Organizing a Visceral Realists performance is just like organizing a performance for any other band or musical act. Simply book your gig as normal and use the name "Visceral Realists". During the performance observe the Specification for Visceral Realism."

Pedals need practice too, sometimes. I’ve had this reverb (a Caroline Meteore) pretty long, about 1 1/2 years, but I haven’t mastered it. It’s simple but having good control is a different story, so I’m studying it like I would a tune or a scale.

Lucas Gonze @playingintongues.com · 11/06/2026

The downside of the Météore is subtlety. You get four knobs and an EQ switch to reach the whole universe of reverb worlds

The Witch or The VVitch? Robert Eggers: ““I always write it with a ‘W’.” That said, the most ardent fans of The Witch who are really dedicated… they spell it with two ‘V’s. So I respect it.”

VLC will helpfully open the XSPF of the Nick & Norah playlist, but it doesn’t do content resolution. I wonder if VLC could be extended with functionality similar to Spinbin.

A question for my fellow jazzholes. See that F diminished in the 6th bar? There’s an E natural note in the melody. WTH? That is about as far from a chord tone. as you can get. I checked a couple different transcriptions to verify that this is how people play it. And the melody is not wrong. #jazz

A room-sized piece at MOMA that asks the big scary question of what art is, given that it can be made by machines. Rather than being bummed about the material impacts of automation, trying to figure out the philosophical mess. www.moma.org/calendar/gal...
