Today's internet music recommendation (a 🧵). BTW, when my band put out a record, we used a Walker Evans photo he did for the WPA as art and bought a print from the @librarycongress.bsky.social. Also, why wasn't I following the LoC already? (Thanks, Dean!)
Very cute that a CBS reporter is trying to commit a journalism. I bet they got a phone call from Bari…
Hey, Vernal… 😉
We were there in 1995 and again in 2013. One of my favorite cities. My wife has Irish citizenship through all her grandparents being Irish so that is the escape hatch if things keep going in their current direction… 🙄
Normalizing
Propaganda

Pizza shop playlist revelation: The Meat Puppets are the OG Dinosaur Jr.
A worthy corollary to MLK’s theorem. Keep bending, y'all (and read @thexylom.com)!
Traditional observance (and will probably bring back frigid temps)… youtu.be/UpH4ulJfiwg?...
There was a golden moment when $20 bills were going to be “Tubbys,” dammit.
Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
Crafty! 😉
Today's music lesson for all y'all guitarists…
Did you run into this guy, @dougboyce.bsky.social?
That’s our Rhymin’ Simon! Always heard that the South Africans did finally get compensated, but not Los Lobos, whose song became “Myth of Fingerprints” sans credit. 😡
Gonna be a “Return to Graceland” album coming once Paul Simon does a deep dive…
Say, for instance, letting his goons shoot American citizens?
Poster designed by me hyping Elliott Carter's three appearances in ATL this weekend. Today at A Cappella Books at 3:30 and playing tonight at Eyedrum at 8:00 pm
Great music talk from Elliott Carter last night in Atlanta that ranged from improviser’s use of graphic notation to Central African polyphonic Panda music and James Tenney's music collage with a Memphis truck driver “Blue Suede.” Go hear him read today or play at Eyedrum tonight…
Premium Sass-parilla! 😀
1. LOURDES GARCIA NAVARRO!!
My idea for them was a list from toddler Nora: “Top 10 @npr.org Reporter Names My Dad Yells Instead of Cursing” 😀 (HMU, Timothy McSweeney’s!)
Really wish @nprnews.bsky.social John Burnett had spent as much time on Trump illegally renaming The Kennedy Center as he just spent trying to cancel iconic badass Georgia O’Keefe for calling New Mexico “my country.” 😡
A picture of the Domino Sugar factory in the Baltimore harbor. Not lit up, on an overcast day…
I told my wife (in town for #AWP) it has to be at dawn, with the lights on, @lauralippman.bsky.social. But I appreciate her effort.
Malkmus Voice: “And that's a pretty nice haircut… ”
😂 The Internet has been won for today. Thanks for playing, everyone…
In my imagination, it doesn't involve eating eyeballs! #wrongplace
“Every star that shines in the back of your mind…” [This is good.]
On point, @fripperskitter.bsky.social!
“Great music is made by people who either don’t care or don’t understand what is ‘normal,’ so they do something extraordinary.” Perfectly put. You should go listen to A Tribe Called Quest's “Low End Theory.” RIP to a master…
