The land has been sold for condo/townhome development, bringing an end to a lovely neighborhood art park. The fate of two ancient trees is up in the air (though they are supposed to be spared). meetalba.org

An underrated band, tbh…

Nora has been taking pictures of the destruction of that wonderful place for her photography class… 😞

You did order a King Cake, right? 😀

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together to get through this thing called Life…

Podcasts (no matter how famous or recommended) always sound like two guys bullshitting in a basement to me. Now… if those two guys are @paranoiacs.bsky.social and songwriting all-timer Graham Parker? I'm in, baby! #betweenyouandme

My pal Pam Scheier designed this book cover for Vintage Books reissue of Mingus’s seminal autobiography, “Beneath the Underdog,” definitely recommended reading. Going to listen to “Mingus Ah Um” and “Mingus Plays Piano” today in his honor…

The internet is for music recommendations (and y’all should seek out the awesome duo Robocromp as well!)

Bulls be high fivin’ around the water cooler today…

This just in, from area Dad and wildflower maven: They crack you up, all. the. time.

Interesting article! Trigger warning, if you're a middle-aged guy: Hearing this tune may make you spontaneously shout: “SPEAK TO A REPRESENTATIVE!” 😂

An all-time list, for sure. Pairs nicely with Thelonious Monk’s list, “25 Tips for Musicians" www.openculture.com/2017/12/thel...

Should have been paying more attention almost 10 years ago, but luckily someone taped my daughter's generation’s Lucinda Williams Waxahatchee at Athens Popfest. (This morning's music to push pixels to… ) archive.org/details/waxa...

"there is only one majority in this country and that is the working class."

America: It’s a “no” from us, dawg…

When I worked at a record store in Atlanta, a woman came in and asked for the record by, “I don't know, I like to call him the Human Squirrel." We correctly guessed she meant Howard Jones. 😂

[This is good]

Uh, hey… @livetapes.heads.social.ap.brid.gy? You would be doing us original musicians a solid if you weren't promoting the work of tribute bands, mmmkay? 🙄

Always a delight when these show up in the inbox…

My 24 y.o. daughter is currently reading my copy. She showed me the inscription on the front pages: It was a birthday gift from my wife when we were first dating (around her age)!

These are about some sad motherfuckers, applauding this shit.

At this point, just raze the whole damn thing, right? 😡

The amazing thing is, with his voice he would make that sound wistful and melancholic… 😂

That’s a good one! I have a pal with a kid named Jake and that’s his theme song…

My version of that would be @remhq.bsky.social with Alex Chilton opening at that location (but would’ve loved to have seen OutKast, too!)

Keisha Lance Bottoms is a shill for everything that is bad about Atlanta. I accidentally typed her name as “Nottoms” at first and tbh, bumper stickers should be issued! 😂

Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes.
That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services.
This is why people are mad as hell.

Richard Thompson - Boxed Set, Cowcaddens, Glasgow, Britain, 8-16-1999 Here's a very nice Richard Thompson concert. It's from 1999, just after he released what I consider one of his best solo albums, "Mock Tudor," earlier that year. I have to admit, I had planned to post this as the next album in my long series of Thompson's BBC albums. Most versions of this label it as a BBC concert. But right before posting, I did a little more digging and discovered this concert was done for a British TV show, but not a BBC one. "Boxed Set" was a short-lived music show around 1999 and 2000, done for Scottish Television (STV) in association with ITV. But, BBC or not, it's a worthy concert and one of his most high-profile TV appearances, so I'm posting it here. I didn't have to do much audio editing. There was a short interview section with Thompson in the middle of the show that I got rid of, since it wasn't actually from the concert. Also, some of the cheering at the ends of songs got cut off as the TV show quickly went to commercial breaks and things like that. So, in those cases, I copied and pasted in some cheering from the ends of other songs. But that was about it. Note that he was joined by his son Teddy Thompson to help sing the song "Persuasion." Teddy has had a successful music career of his own. The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. This album is 47 minutes long. 01 talk (Richard Thompson) 02 Cooksferry Queen (Richard Thompson) 03 Bathsheba Smiles (Richard Thompson) 04 talk (Richard Thompson) 05 Uninhabited Man (Richard Thompson) 06 Persuasion (Richard Thompson with Teddy Thompson) 07 Two Faced Love (Richard Thompson) 08 Al Bowlly's in Heaven (Richard Thompson) 09 I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight (Richard Thompson) 10 The Sights and Sounds of London Town (Richard Thompson) 11 Tear-Stained Letter (Richard Thompson) https://pixeldrain.com/u/ZeNZzz2P alternate: https://bestfile.io/Fd36kzW1Ex2q6fk/file The cover image is a screenshot I took from a YouTube video of this exact concert.
