Rolling Stones: Hear us out... WAY more bongos.

Always loved this quote from Tom Waits.

Four early 20s dudes playing a small club with string lights and purple fill lights. One is wearing a Bob Dylan hat.

I've reached a parenting stage that involves attending my kid's band's unplugged show, which he described as a "reverse-Bob-Dylan," then texting him that they sounded so good and they all must sit down right away and listen to The Rolling Stones's Exile on Main Street all the way through.

New music!! Let us know in the comments what you guys think. #music #newmusic #robothive #rock #alternative music.apple.com/us/album/lov...

I concur. Well, Lars, specifically.

#columbus #ohio are driving the metal scene; #portland and #seattle (and #spokane !!) are rebuilding momentum throughout the Pacific NW. There are signs of the spark in #yyc #yeg and #saskabush (and #winterpeg … they need the sparks!) Who else is keeping the #rockscene flame burning? #newsoundcult

Time was, there was such a thing as a “rock scene”. Every mid-sized city had a set of hard-working, hard-rocking bands whose music defined their city’s sound. Even as they looked to big-city skylines, these bands thrilled local fans every night across North America. Is a #rockscene still out there?

AI doesn’t just require tons of electric power. It also guzzles enormous sums of water. It also guzzles enormous sums of water.

“In order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugs… that means if one in 10 U.S. residents—16 million people—asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, it’d cost more than 435 million liters of water.”

Opinion: With the country under attack, Trudeau leaves it to drift – for months A lame-duck PM, a shuttered Parliament, a government without legitimacy, and a ruling party more concerned with fighting each other than fighting Donald Trump

@acoyne.bsky.social outlines accurately - as always - the “trifecta of irresponsibility” that #Canada will now get to suffer through.

Shannon Gormley: Canada’s fake feminist prime minister is running out of women to use as props Donald Trump's sexism is hideous, but at least it's honest in its hideousness. Justin Trudeau’s sexism can feel worse because he pretends to be better.

If you’re the guy playin’ it, then YES! (This really you, Cory?? Or just another clown like that “coryjwong” feller who downloaded some pix?

Awesome. Had the chance to meet #FantasticNegrito when he played Stage 1 (which I co-manage) at #EdmontonFolkMusicFestival #EFMF 2024. Outstanding show!

…closest I’m gonna get to owning a ‘65 Corvette.

…been looking at these for a long, long time since Eastwood joined the game. Beautiful, and Jetsons-worthy.

Er, this is a “weird” guitar!? Classic, vintage, game-changing, sure…

#woody #working. Still going strong.

So, is it playable on ANYthing, these days? Or is it “stranded”?

I forgot to mention the weirdest part! It's got a 5-pin DIN connector instead of a 1/4" jack.

Beauty.

And a great piece it is too. Thanks Paul! (You should keep the music commentary going as a major substack theme - great stuff!)

Honest. Decent. Principled. A Lifetime of Selfless Service.

#ThankYouJimmyCarter 🙏

Looking forward to a BlueSky launch in 2025. Happy Holidays everybody! (Christmas, without the “X” … priceless.)
