So exciting the moment you decide “I’m making beef stew”

Sly Dunbar's left the planet. I once spoke to him briefly on the phone and he was as much of a DUDE as I could have hoped: enthusiastic about work old and new, inquisitive, charming, all that. A true master craftsman who was rightly proud of his greatest work but never let it overwhelm the rest.

Said goodbye to Chicken today. A deeply affectionate creature of profound sensitivity and just the best buddy I could imagine. For the last 9 years he would follow me to bed, climb into my arms and stay until I fell asleep every single night. Safe travels my friend.

Broke in my monitors by playing this on a loop for 80 hours

It’s ironic that the clearest explanation as to why AI art is and will always be garbage I’ve read so far was, in fact, given by AI. Great work by @dadadrummer.bsky.social plumbing some uncomfortable depths.

The U G ORGANIC THROAT BLOWER subscription is the most important music purchase you can make this decade. If you pride yourself on listening to and enjoying deep, original sounds made by people with real talent, you are simply kidding yourself if you don’t have this subscription.

Absolutely loved this and OF COURSE you are friends with Grayson I don’t know how this never occurred to me before! A wonderful human and deeply empathetic writer.
