Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 22/09/2026With compositional input from one Stevie Wonder. 010
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I like Zep when they lighten up. Replace No Quarter with Houses of the Holy and leave the Crunge. 000
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The Talmud has been a long-standing target of anti-Semites. Prople who attack Israel often assume any anti-Jewish claim can be adapted into an anti-Israel claim: Why do Israelis mistreat Pals? The Talmud tells them to. Jews were "kicked out if 109 countries" but the Pals took them in, etc. 010
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The Star Trek theme, based on the chords to Out of Nowhere 020
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 15/09/2026E7, A7, B7 is classic blues in E. Major or Seventh chords on the flatted 3d, 6th, and 7th go with the e minor scale. 010
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Nobody seems to mentioning Can't Turn You Loose 110
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The White Album is my favorite. Credit in Heaven by The Suburbs doesn't get mentioned enough. English Settlement by XTC was released in a double-album version. Blonde on Blonde is one of the greatest double albums. 010
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Siberian Khatru was the follow-up to Roundabout although the words were pretty random. Is that why Briford quit? 001
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 08/09/2026In the era of those records and the ones on Prestige, he had the most beautiful tone in Jazz. 000
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Any Beatles song they named a movie after is great. MMT is good, not great, but that was a TV special. 010
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Yellow Submarine is great. Their best use of sound-effects in a song. Catchy campfire-ish melody. Ringo's bass drum part. It's a high point on Revolver. 001
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 04/09/2026When Sinwar was in prison, was "kidnapped" a good description of his situation? If your answer is yes, we can't have a conversation. Have a good weekend. 300
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Coltrane's Sound is outtakes. Unbelievable how good it is. 000
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Better than its reputation. Like Athena and the Entwistle songs. 000
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Charels Mingus Presents Charles Mingus is his best album. Prove me wrong. 010
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Running Back to Saskatoon is cool track. Burton Cummings' Canadian accent is amusing in the spoken intro. 010
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Most of the 2nd Great Quintet are in place on some tracks. Fine tenor player George Coleman was about to be replaced by visionary composer Wayne Shorter on tenor, leading to albums filled with unique original compositions, and not just from Shorter. 000
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 31/08/2026James Brown Fats Domino Mose Allison Richard Thompson Alex Chilton Winston Rodney Toots Hibbert Ellis Marsalis Randy Newman Warren Zevon 010
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 31/08/2026His voice sounds great. Rainy Day Women has that Salvation Army Band sound concocted for that track. Stuck Inside of Mobile has one of his best chord progressions. Sad Eyed Lady is an epic track. Most Likely You'll Go Your Way became a concert staple 110
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I tend to think of BOB as his best album because it has the best performances by back-up musicians in his classic period and because the song-writing is so varied, especially over four sides. Blood on the Tracks is very emotionally stark and poetic, but not so distinguished musically. 110
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Rubber Soul, Revolver, Blonde on Blonde, Between the Buttons (UK), Hwy 61 Revisited, White Album, Safe as Milk, Moby Grape 000
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Hear him with Charlie Parker and Joe Henderson. 000
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Maybe their best. My Old School should have bern the first single, not Shiwbiz Kids. 120
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Fats Domino The Temptations James Brown The Hoodoo Gurus Mose Allison X Randy Newman Warren Zevon The Band David Lindley 010
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Going offline for Shabbos. Good Shabbos to anyone who observes Shabbos. 100
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I said it's "implied" and you responded "nope." What were you taking "substantial" to mean? The Jewish Sabbath starts soon, and I'm going to be offline for 24 hours. 100
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I think you are fishing for gotcha points. My understanding of Lemkin's thinking doesn't call for a precise number. 100
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 29/08/2026When you wrote "nope," what did you think the word "substantial" meant? 100
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Two thirds were. Most of 10 million. Lemkin coined the word in the book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe. 100
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Not a part that makes a logical alternative to "in whole" in a definition occasioned by the Holocaust. 100
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 29/08/2026It isn't in there to make any "part" meet the definition. A substantial part is implied. 100
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 29/08/2026When you wrote "So it does meet the definition of genocide as it is currently understood, good, yes, thanks" you were putting words in my mouth, not stating anything that is a logical conclusion from what I wrote. 100
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 28/08/2026The fairly widespread opinion that the broadly agreed-upon events in Gaza don't meet the definition of a Genocide is nothing like an actual Holocaust-denier argument. For instance, a list of specific names in a non-Red Cross archive is passed off as Red Cross documentation that only 261,000 died. 100
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 28/08/2026People seem to want to have it both ways in this thread. Genocide doesn't have to be what the Nazis did but I'm doing the equivalent of saying blah blah blah about the Holocaust. 100
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 28/08/2026"In part" is in the definition because the classic examples of genocide didn't involve killing off every last member of the genocided groups, not because the concept of genocide doesn't have anything to do with killing off a genos. 100
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 28/08/2026You can argue by analogy without formally committing false quotation, even as a rancid online stylistic device. 200
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 28/08/2026An analogy should be introduced with something like "That's like saying," but people have been making up sentences, putting them in quotation marks, and writing my name afterwards in some cases. Yeah, there's sort-of an anology buried under all the layers of dishonesty. 200
Yitzchak Goodman @yitzgood.bsky.social · 28/08/2026The Nazis were damn sure trying to kill every Jew they could. That is obviously not like the Gaza war. You're not even smart enough to make the argument that genocides don't have to be like what the Nazis did. Israel-bashers have been talking about "Zio-Nazis" for years. 000
