Today Kristi Noem was fired, under pressure for her handling of Trump's policies in Portland, LA, Chicago and Minneapolis. Being a tyrant's toady never pays. That said this isnt over but shows how effective peaceful protest in support of rights can be. This song is a tango

Take a little visit to a corner of my studio/writer's den: youtu.be/qvCl3uMecd0?... This room is practically a biography.
Did you know that Mark Rothko moved to Portland in 1913, and as a young boy, sold newspapers on the same block that today is home to the Portland Arts Collective?
"An exploration of Rothko concomitant visual and philosophical exigencies among artists who have called Portland home. It is not a tribute show or any claim of hereditament, just expect surprises that reveal sonorities and important dissonances with Portland’s most culturally pertinacious son."
Existential Emulsifier is open now @ Portland Arts Collective 122NW Couch, Portland Oregon (Wed-Sat 12-5) December 4-27 www.portlandartscollective.org
PAM is free the next 4 days. What an incredibly significant and meaningful day with the public opening of the Rothko Pavilion expansion @portlandartmuseum.bsky.social museum. As providence would have it I was standing right next to Kate and Christopher Rothko and got to share a few meaningful words.
Doing what we can from Portland Oregon... so here is a little fight song for this moment in history featuring our fair city, which isnt a warzone (free download too) youtu.be/ZyBu-eZD6RI?...
The song is available for free download to highlight what is and definitely isn't going on in Portland (like not "burning") and the National Guard is not required. Quiet Eye downloads are available here for free: jeffjahn.bandcamp.com/track/quiet-... enjoy
Quiet Eye is my next single and music video: youtu.be/ZyBu-eZD6RI
Video features Portland Oregon (not on fire) and Roman statues of the Emperors Nero, Caligula and Commodus.
All instruments, performed by Jahn on completely improvised first takes using zero ai, prioritizing the human response.
A Halloween mood progressive music playlist: youtu.be/5ERMAdnmr-M?...
Portland a warzone? (I live there so I know) Perhaps my favorite rock band Rush reforms and I discuss... and Part II of my discussion of the second single Occultation Astrocytes: youtu.be/UceTvsJPxBg?...
Walk'n and talk'n about the second single and music video in Ladd's Addition: youtu.be/EX9496ynMEM?... yup gorgeous Portland Oregon #livinginhell
Presenting, Occultation Astrocytes: youtu.be/WYgCJ531pL0?... the second single off Sjå, my first album in over 25 years. Occultation Astrocytes is an adventurous instrumental accompanied with an experimental film directed by myself as its video companion.
Discussing the limits of AI to generate convincing Prog, other art Part1: youtu.be/tAmgR1Ms-4k?...
Discussing the avant-garde in visual art and music... because, niche stuff as the world burns. youtu.be/HOxK3yIVTGQ?...
Farewell Ozzy: youtu.be/FhEXZdEedLk
Its hot here in Portland today so I thought Id do some odd prog music picks on my YT channel: youtu.be/r09bjECWegc?...
As a fan of "parkitecture" this is a major loss: www.cnn.com/2025/07/13/u... Ive been there several times and an important friend worked there for a few seasons.
Big News, King Crimson is coming back, youtu.be/6o8sjJMwLxU and checking in from a field of feral fennel. How Portland is that?
What the world needs more of, Frank Zappa (first time this has been released). Especially as I do this interview, partly discussing his influence on me youtu.be/2Gdw7lFYdCw?...
Today they have crossed a deep red line.
We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.
Blueberry season begins in beautiful Portland Oregon
Bleeding Edge Show has posted the first formal album review for Sjå and as intended it was "very challenging"...comparisons to Zappa and The Cardiacs is always a win so check it out: youtu.be/xZhK4-fZxDM?... Isthis music I created really, "unique in the history of recorded music?" as he asks?
Returning Pat Barrett's trombone to Gail. It is featured on what has become my personally most listened to tune on the album, Occultation Astrocytes... which sounds like 2 Rush songs at the same time. You can hear it here: jeffjahn.bandcamp.com/track/occult... (Lots of free plays).
Yes THE WORLD SUCKS, but not yesterday... winery with some next level art for artists weeken also opebn today @Saffron Hills in Yamhill Oregon
Some music and art geekery discussing the word of the week, "Weird." It is a word that is often misunderstood and misused. This is going to get technical. youtu.be/0QpRK8GhBds?... thinking about being idiomatic and paths to originality. I bring up Bjork, Confucius, Allan Holdsworth, Bowie etc.
