gonna be tough to beat the Ridgewood card though w the architectural facade and the gold-foil emboss on hot pink background

I grabbed a nice trading-card commemorating my local library branch (Ridgewood NY) and its really setting off my 10yo brain and I now want to go to every Queens library (67 of them) and get the whole set

sometimes I may find the journeys of arctic/mountain/space explorers interesting, but make no mistake I am always rooting for their failure

its not good to use any heaphones on a bike: its very important to hear traffic around you

i love to try to sing w the raw post-sick voice and imho its worth trying. but also when u do it, you will wonder Is this maybe really bad for my throat and long-term voice

its like youre on Family Feud and they are faster on the buzzer and usually get the 1st answer so u have to try to think of the 2nd or 3rd answer

sometimes when AI starts writing for you and u didnt ask it to, it actually slows u down alot because it takes time to rewrite and figure out how to not sound like AI. like theres only so many ways to say simple things and it just took the main/easy option away from you

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

my friend never stops telling me how Marvel movies are relevant/important and music is not, but when I talk to kids they all love (sometimes pop, sometimes interesting) music not big dumb movies

Neat - my 12yo nephew-in-law DJs and plays some cool shit but definitely gravitates towards funny vocal 'slop' which this is not

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

that dude is always 'doing too much' - I might be able to not see him as the silly hairy Dad in 'Malcolm In The Middle' but he was 'doing too much' then and on the little Breaking Bad ive seen too

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

once I did get into hiphop around 2000 I immediately went to gangster shit and wierd shit, bypassing alot of nice lyrical hiphop. Food For Animals was born from this agro era

(statement does not include pop/mainstream/party hiphop or concious rap - which was wack then and now)

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

back in the day it felt like the only hiphop a white kid could like was WuTang and Gangstarr. So now there's tons of 90s artists Im just hearing with a nice blend of smart raps and street raps

I must admit the few times ive checked twitter it doesnt seem particularly racist or evil but i mostly keep to my lil corner and dont follow/look at racist evil shit

my haters may point out that I am indeed bad at music but I dont think I would ever release anything as purposefully bad as this song so thats whats up

000

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

and now today that is my mantra or at least has me thinking about how much time i spend trying/failing to be 'good' (music/art) and how that is likely misguided. give less fucks like Neil Young 1987

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Id never heard this NeilYoung & CrazyHorse song til last night closing #Techtonic #WFMU and it was like a slow lol mind blown as I deciphered the lyrics wait did he just sing "Thats why, we dont want to be goood" @markhurst.bsky.social @bourgwick.bsky.social

i love to just pop in the gym on a off day do 1.5sets of pullups and keep moving. just cause its there and im also there

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I think its sorta classic/natural to split albums into LP/tape sides (15-20mins) even tho I know its all just going on streaming. the worst thing about the CD era (other then them getting scratched) was 60min albums no split/break

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I got kinda into throwing barely-provacative comments up on youtube videos (eg: Just Blaze is SO much better than Kanye) and I dont regret it but sometimes years later I want to send a song to someone and that comment is just chilling waiting

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I thought it was corny but Ive had hope ever since his song was on in a big thrift store Baltimore 2012 and every customer was humming it like fuck the haters im here i need some clothes

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

unfortunately i think rn u need $2200 to get a semi-shitty apartment (unless you get creative). but if u hold it a few years, hopefully it only costs 2300 and then it will seems like a deal

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

its a nice big playlist of bangers and Im appreciating it. Ive never had spotify (where so many playlists live) but turns out i have access to apple music

Im just gonna stick with my (free) Photoshop CS3 (2007!) seems to do most of what I need it to do. Could use better 'batch processing' ... pause.. actually tbh maybe thats a good task for an AI and not for me

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Of course I dont totally believe that statement and its mostly about 90s punk and dance music: I think pop was pretty bad in the late 90s

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Sometimes it feels a little silly to be like '1999 music = good, 2000 music = bad' but also one year does matter alot especially when a major technological shift (accessibility to computers) is looming

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I want to love Pittsburgh (where I see in-laws 1x-2x a year) and get over NYC (where I live) but Im not thinking like that yet. You'd do great in nyc

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Industrial Music is inherently packed full of something like cringe but its not easy to pick the standout ugly pop gems. Revolting Cocks cover of "If You Want My Body And You Think Im Sexy" a good staring point.

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

(digital) digging through the genre I would call "Industrial Cringe" - no cool techno allowed just industrial pop fails

I know I dont know what Im talking about. that's just how I tell his origin story

RICK RAB @rickrab.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

the story I parsed from some documentary Billy Joel was in an actually cool band he slept w the drummers wife the band broke up Billy was sad so he wrote a sad corny song the song sucked but it had marketing potential for corny ppl repeat the formula, the rest is history

(its definitely not true but) sometimes I feel like everything I know on guitar I learned the first year, age 14 or 15. not that I can play like her even now. my mind is blown when 4yos play drums or do a little dance; ive never been able do any little dance
