Album cover for Blue Serge by Serge Chaloff depicting a woman in a white dress leaning on a dressmaker bust covered in a blue vest while a baritone sax rests on the ground, supported by her right hand.

#NowSpinning The warm baritone sax tones of Serge Chaloff with Sonny Clark, Philly Joe Jones, and Leroy Vinnegar. Recorded in 1956, 2 weeks before Serge was diagnosed with spinal cancer that would take his life within the year.

Truth for both points! But I'll take that 37-16 yellow-top record.

It's going to be a long afternoon for the Red Sox bullpen.

Nice! Like a kurinuki hybrid? Ya, I've carved through the wall far too often!

I feel for you, man. Sorry you had to take the Last Train in a Damaged World. Where Will You Be when you Believe Again?

All the best, man!

Black album cover with red text reading La Peste I don't know right from wrong: lost La Peste 1976 - 1979 Vol 1

Three band members standing side by side with their arms crossed. All dress in white button down shirts, black pants, black skinny ties.

#NowSpinning The great (and I mean, GREAT) LaPeste! So many sweat-filled nights at The Rat, Inn Square, Cantone's, and the Underground listening to this powerhouse trio. New unreleased studio and loft recordings plus other gems. #Boston #punk @lapeste76.bsky.social

tRump will blame an unnamed aide that won't be fired. Johnson will claim he never saw it. Leavitt will berate a reporter for asking about it. Maga will continue to worship their false prophet. Fuck all of them.

Album cover showing Frank in a hat and suit, holding a cigarette, looking sad on a dark street with lighted street lamps in the background.

#NowSpinning Such a tender, forlorn, melancholy album from Frank. This release is a beauty. Crystal clear ringing in his voice. Brilliant balance with the band. Lovely remaster from Kevin Gray.

My copy of Vol 2 should arrive any day now. Can't wait.

Nice! Thanks.

Working on a nerikomi piece inspired by Sir Terry Frost. This semester I'm starting each block with the same 4 colors then adding additional color as needed. Good challenge doing circle, circle in a square. #ceramics #pottery

Excellent form with lots of motion! Where the double handles on the inspiration piece? Maybe for some type of strapping? Love it.

It's time that the media stop referring to trump's $1.5bn request as for "defense spending". He has a Dept of War so the request is explicitly for "war spending". Let that play out in all the headlines.

We cut to ~ once a month for a few months but that wasn't sustainable. Now it's what you are doing and we are both pretty content. Tonic or sparkling water with a couple of dashes of bitters works as a replacement for us. We did a house-made bitters that tastes like Tanqueray so there's that. 🤣

Last night I stumbled onto the offering for Angine de Poitrine, Vol II (vinyl) and scooped it up. Who needs AI when you have Klek and Khn! #music

That other bloke is so good. JW Plays Bach (complete lute music on guitar) is a fave, as are Sky, 2, and 3.

Ringo is giving a little side-eye vibe. 🤪

Dave is singing right to you! Nice.

Thanks! The Colin Hay death stare is real. 🤣

If you see this, post a concert photo that you took.

CB Bucknor is the worst.

Greetings from Lowell, MA. Solid turnout in 35degs. US Rep Lori Trahan, MA Sen Vanna Howard, LtCol Dan Ward (USAF ret), State Rep Tara Hong, MVP Exec Dir Julio Mejia, UMass Lowell Dems Deyah Gutierrez. Emcee'd by our son. #proudDad #NoKings #Kerouac

Saw Paquito (far left) and his current band in AZ a couple of weeks ago. Hadn't seen him live since 1982.

I just said a similar thing to wifey today as we walked down Mass Ave in Cambridge and saw a place called Beantown coffee (or something like that) near MIT.

Closeup of grey concrete bridge sections with the words 300 smoots painted in green, yellow, and purple.

Panoramic view of the Boston skyline from the Cambridge side of the Harvard Bridge, across the Charles River.

Walked all 364.4 smoots +/- 1 ɛar today. #mit #Boston #OliverSmoot

Haven't heard the latest BBT yet but I listened to new Gong and Softs yesterday. Man, they are both on my buy list now.
