(7/x) Another one that's been on heavy rotation. Normally I'm sceptical of a musician releasing two LP length albums in the same year, but Joe Armon-Jones knocked it out of the park with "All The Quiet pt. I & II" an excellent tour of modern jazz fusion and soul: music.youtube.com/watch?v=MqFQ...
(6/x) This one has been on heavy rotation since its release in late June. I enjoy when musician producers compose an album that's complete work; one that demonstrates a knowledge of a wide range of music styles and how to blend them:

Because it keeps the brisket juicy during a 16 hour smoke during the wrapping process.
#VinylFriday, where I share a select few jams from my inbox;
Actually, it's a holdover from this music sharing thing I used to do weekly with a bunch of folks I've never met in the other place, who happen to enjoy sharing such things.

As a scholar, gourmand, and human being with 50 years of fried chicken experience, I have come to the scientific conclusion that Raising Cain's chicken is wack. No one should ever serve unseasoned chicken, much less greasy unseasoned chicken. How is this possible? That place must be a front.
Quick lunch reviews: Who is Raising Cane's for? Who is in the market for unseasoned chicken? Fascists. That's who.

we need a soulful bisexual pope from atlanta
A new pope has been chosen. An American.
Very significant given the threats from Washington.
The first Pope Leo negotiated with Attila the Hun and turned him back from sacking Rome.
I hope Pope Leo has the same fortitude for the bandit leaders today.
Prayers and hope in a dark time.
Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.
DOGE has terminated all four of the NEH grants for the American Musicological Society. Our executive director writes:
“As the chief operating officer for the American Musicological Society, a 91-year-old knowledge society committed to the study of music, history, and culture, I am resolved.” 1/2

Not sure if you watch Steve Shibes on YouTube, but he uses a phone for his videos. We shoot a lot of our video for the archive using our Pixel Android phones. Entire feature length films have been shot with an iPhone. I think you should be good with the right settings, lighting, and lenses.
It is good to see others in the world who understand the greatness of plantains.

smoked jerk pork & chicken, rice and peas, and some good ol plantains.
This week in Caribbean cooking, I had to try and make the take out classic: smoked jerk pork & chicken, rice and peas, and some good ol plantains.
I see this question often. Here's my personal answer: When I transferred from twitter to Bluesky, I went a little crazy with the starter packs. I was also added to a few starter packs, which led to my current follower/following stats.
Being an asshole under the guise of ‘being blunt’
Im currently on the Nog PTSD episode. this show was so ahead of its time.
indeed!
