LET. SPIRIT. AIRLINES. DIE.
(Said loud for the folks in the back)

We love you Prince

This sounds AMAZING. Listen now.

The most underrated record by one of the greatest bands of all time. I love love love F.C. Only Acabou Chorare is better

Boots on the Ground, by Massive Attack, Tom Waits 1 track album

Tom Waits & Massive Attack have released a song together and I fully approve

THIS. AI will kill the business of garbage Pop. But what is the opposite of AI? Organic, acoustic, improvised, live, and FREE. We may be about to enter into the golden age of harmolodics and other philosophies that celebrate real, organic musical explorations

NOW do Los Lobos, The Meters, Chic, Devo, Fishbone, Bad Brains, Sonic Youth, The Smiths, Bjork, the Pixies, Jane's, B-52s, Motorhead, INXS, Dick Dale, Living Colour, Alice, Crimson, LaBelle, and Weird Al, to name but a few of the many deserving artists who get SNUBBED year after year!

Normally I could care less about the RnR Hall of Fame, but this year's class hits different. Many oversights corrected, &very happy to see Fela Kuti & Celia Cruz acknowledged, as well as favs like Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Billy Idol, Sade, Luther, Wu-Tang, it's just a great group overall

All this technology... all this knowledge... and still... no edit button

Bye bye Orbán! I hope that while you're moving your stuff out that you get hit by a truck! #fuckfascism

Asha Bhosle - Dum Maro Dum (1971, Video) YouTube video by Asha Bhosle Italy

In 2016, performing with Falu, I was honored to play the opening set for the amazing Asha Bhosle at the Wolftrap Filene Center in DC. Truly one of the great honors of my life. She had so many great songs, this one is my personal favorite. Rest in peace Asha Bhosle

Ryuichi Sakamoto: Last Days | NHK WORLD-JAPAN Oscar-winning composer Ryuichi Sakamoto died in March 2023. With diaries and private footage shared by his family, this documentary follows how he faced death in his final days.

Just watched the moving documentary Ryuichi Sakamoto: Last Days on NHK. Trigger warning - this is a difficult watch, not just for fans, but for anyone dealing with grief or loss in their life. That said, I was very moved by it, even as my hero dealt with his illness and struggle. It's up until 4/11

"Loss, anger, and sadness are great motivators of creation," Ryuichi Sakamoto, 2021

See that? Completely flat!

Extremely saddened at the loss of drummer James Gadson, a very serious contender for the greatest of all time. He played on countless hits and defined how we hear music. This musical moment of perfection was but one of them
