#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The Michael Landau Group - Organic Instrumentals (2012). Landau is one of those legendary session guitarists you’ve never heard of. Check Wikipedia. This album is a quiet bomb and is amazing. A must listen. #music #jazz #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/watch
I find this infuriating, and for one simple reason: #Microsoft won’t stop forcing #AI down the throats of its customers for any reason, much less some study they commissioned. #tech #CarnegieMellon #education #criticalthinking #capitalism #fascism gizmodo.com/microsoft…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simon Oslender, Steve Gadd & Will Lee - All That Matters (Bonus Edition)(2025). Featuring Bruno Müller, Jakob Manz & Nils Landgren. At near 80 years old, Steve Gadd is still a titan on the drums. #music #jazz #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/watch
The double album you never knew existed! #music #humor #MJ #inxs
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: King’s X - Faith Hope Love (1990). I had this album on repeat for some time. Doug, Jerry, and Ty are true musician’s musicians, have been cited as the originators of grunge by Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament, and rock. #music #progrock #altrock www.youtube.com/watch
Move fast and break shit shouldn’t be a thing one can do to a society… I’m just sayin'. #elonmusk #TFG #uspol #fascism #toxiccapitalism #americanoligarchy www.theverge.com/elon-musk…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Jazz Pistols - Special Treatment (2001). This underrated German #JazzFusion trio that plays what they call “Energy Jazz” is a showcase of three extraordinary musicians who regularly surprise and delight. #music #jazz www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Faith No More - Angel Dust (1993). Some FNM for the hard core bangers, this album doesn’t stray too far from their funky metal sound, but a solid release for long time fans. Also, be aggressive and a sultry cover of “Easy”. #music www.youtube.com/watch
Ever wanted a #mustache? I already have facial hair, but a friend wanted me to try some new styles, so I did. I’ve included an example. Share with us and send yours, and they don’t have to be of you (wink). #fun #decompression #stopfascism www.facetache.com
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Faith No More - King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime (1995). Amazing album with wild shifts in genre and tone, and a read of the #Wikipedia entry is… amazing. #music #punk #deathmetal #jazz #soul are just a few. www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Jason Falkner - I’m OK, You’re OK (2007). The US release didn’t actually drop until 2010 and with a new version of the opening track ‘This Time’, and different mix on ‘The Knew’, and a 4.5dB bump in gain. #PowerPop #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Jason Falkner - Can You Still Feel (1999). He played with the Three O’Clock, Jellyfish, and was part of The Grays for their legendary single album, Ro Sham Bo, then went solo. This is his 2nd solo effort. #PowerPop #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Jason Falkner - Bliss Descending EP (2004). Jason is a #PowerPop deity of the highest order. As a multi-instrumentalist, he plays everything on his albums except the strings. There needs to be more Falkner! #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Level 42 - Running in the Family (Super Deluxe Edition)(2012). Combining #jazz, #pop, #rock, and #funk into infectious grooves is a staple of Level 42, and Mark King is a beast of a bassist. #music www.youtube.com/watch
There is one simple question never posed by any in a position to ask:
Where’s the proof?
#TFG & Company have floated all manner of madness and have never furnished proof. Period. Full stop.
This one exclusion could be the end of #America. #uspol #fascism #doge #racism #whitesupremacy
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Faith No More - Album of The Year Deluxe Edition (2016 Remaster Version). I don’t know of any bands like FNM. #Punk. #Metal. #Prog. #Experimental. #Jazz. #Lounge. Yes, and more, and not all at the same time. Marvelous. #music www.youtube.com/watch
Ok. This is officially my favorite new application of programming to solve a real problem. It’s called #WikiTok and it feeds users random #Wikipedia articles using the same user interface as #TikTok. All learning. No slop. Very nice! #socialmedia #addiction #mentalhealth arstechnica.com/gadgets/2…
This seems to explain a lot. It’s called “Extinction Burst” and it’s a term used in #psychology. There’s a video, but also a transcript, which I read, that covers it. It makes a lot of sense, not that it will help, but knowing is good, I guess. #MAGA #fascism #racism kottke.org/25/02/ext…
The #UK’s #surveillance apparatus creeps from the void like Cthulhu hungering for a midnight snack. Note that in this order it is #unlawful to reveal to the public that they’re doing it to us… and I mean us because that power extends outside of the UK. #dystopia mjtsai.com/blog/2025…
Here’s a #FUNFACT: If #TFG and #DOGE shutter all agencies that have involvement with foreign countries, many of which are allies, the “savings” wouldn’t be a drop in the bucket in comparison to the titanic amounts of money we pour into the #military, #oil subsidies, and corporate welfare. #uspol
So-called #centrists are now the same as #conservatives as we knew them before #MAGA, thanks to #TFG & Co. having the #OvertonWindow bricked up. #Democrats can no longer be trusted. They did just hand #America over to a criminal organization, after all. #uspol www.axios.com/2025/02/0…
Good morning, West Coast… and no, I’ve been up for hours :) Just setting up a new theme for #microblog called Bayou from Matt Langford. I’m still working through some configuration, but it’s all mostly functional now. Check it out and let me know what you think! tavexocor.shop
I wasn’t aware that it took #Hitler 53 days to destroy #Germany’s #Democracy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if #TFG is following a similar process, what with #ElonMusk’s #Nazi salutes and blatantly illegal rampage through our governmental infrastructure. #uspol kottke.org/25/02/the…
I just received an “important reminder” from #Transunion about my free credit monitoring account getting updated with an “exciting” new experience 🙄 I get it free because #Capitalism keeps “losing” my deets. Oh, and this #bullshit. #finance #WeAreTheProduct
Unfettered, uncontrolled, unregulated #Capitalism is essentially crime since they do what they want, say what they want, harm whomever they please, break any laws they choose, and are never held accountable. Those who help them are criminals, as well. #ai #piracy #books arstechnica.com/tech-poli…
