@nprofile…n5z9 my main advice is that if anything isn't working for you skip to the jam or the next tune
Phil vox can be really wild at times (not at all complimentary)
Like the 10.8 Tomorrow Never Knows encore
The vox are extraordinarily, remarkably bad
But the soundscapetÿ

@nprofile…n5z9 I added another show from October. Either of those. I cherry pick songs from any of their shows, I don't need to hear Phil singing Eyes or Mountains of the Moon etc. But other people sing some songs, others are group vox or instrumentals etc
10.7 starts with a very silly cover of VH's Jump, but i really like the NFA Crazy Fingers Unbroken Chain My Favorite Things sequence in set 2
Next night has great jazz and SK original instrumentals: Milestones, Tangled Hangers, It's Up To You

I don't have a free/guest link, but this article is causing quite the kerfuffle on Bluesky - a lot of people there are basically waiting for the sky to fall, so to speak. Having a VC for a CEO won't trigger an exodus, but there are a lot of actions such a CEO might take that could, so that might get interesting quickly at some point
BTW, don't bother telling me BS Is Bad, Mmmkay. I'm there to lead people here when the time comes. I get it. I saw this coming too.

@nprofile…9psu I'm very impressed with Blacksky. Since they're advancing atproto towards true decentralization by sharing the tech, I'm curious what you see as the continuing future value of Fedi. Is it just not wanting to have all the eggs in one basket or whatever? Or is there something Fedi offers that even future, fully decentralized, nonprofit *sky with many servers would not? It seems like in the process of creating their own space, Blacksky is solving many of the core Bluesky problems.

@nprofile…544t some shows, especially ones that have a big metaphor at the center, lose me before I start because I can't get past my aversion to the premise.

traditions of
Middle East
East Africa

electronica

I had one other that was heavier, at a Santana show during the original-lineup reunion tour at the Sunrise Theater in Ft Lauderdale, a beautiful venue. It involved combining a vial wash with something described as "safer ayahuasca" which I now think was one of the esoteric DMT derivatives. It lacked the GI side effects of aya but was of otherwise similar potency and character.

@nprofile…szc4 biscuit eater, maker, and critic. The key for the home baker is Southern Biscuit Formula L and buttermilk, mix as little as possible, take the directions seriously and you'll do well. Sweet tea I tend to only get when visiting back east but I love it. No one here makes it well.
Fried chicken and pulled pork are the real tests though. And hush puppies.
Foodwise I'm very southern. And bluegrass of course. Otherwise not so much.

@nprofile…szc4 I like the boldness, indeed the arrogant swagger of rhyming "-lacky" in the first and third lines of the chorus but leaning into the last syllable of "lackING" in between them - it's downright perverse - Virginia or Tennessee could never dream of it, and South Carolina got the vapors and hasn't recovered to this day

@nprofile…e72y I actually saw some coverage of this. Their business model was dependent on the $5 footlong thing much more than they understood, and they stopped doing it and crept the price up.

They've tried to reverse course but seemingly no success

New to circulation, 16bit flacs of:
Garcia/Saunders 11.15.74 Worcester (complete show, major expansion/upgrade)
Legion of Mary 4.13.75 Kennedy Center (!!), Washington DC (1 reel/4 songs, never heard show)
both sound great and seem like excellent performances based on what I've heard so far.

There's a long file here, about an hour. The Caution instrumental cut starts just before 33m and continues for about 17m, but if you're in the mood for '68 Dead at all, you will probably enjoy just letting it play from the start. I made this as part of an extended DJ set for an acid party a few years back, all from Nov. 67 - August 68, a seamless high energy trip

Anyone out there know their electromechanical (old school) washer repair? I've done several repairs on this kenmore 80 and want to keep it, but I'm not sure what's next. It had a couple issues; replacing the agitator dogs got it spinning again, but it's still got a loud click.
Removing the outer sleeve of the agitator i see what's pictured. The only obvious issues are these two bands that look like degraded seals. But I can't find clear info, even in parts diagrams. (1/2)

But he's signing off on it, and playing the fighter in press conferences
He's still a putz. More good people just need to run this playbook. Political skill and worthiness are separate things, he's got one (part of that skill is hiring) and not the other.

Here is a new/updated design by me
Heart Yantra - interwoven version
This is a new version of an older original piece, closer to my vision for it. The design is based on the Sri Yantra, the most complex/sophisticated sacred geometry design I've seen from any culture or era
I'll probably do another round of variants with fills. This piece looks cool a lot of different ways and is fun to work with

@nprofile…959x @nprofile…vuu7 yeah I'm not speaking for Peter on this one but I'm personally not changing my view that he's a POS, but I do recognize that he's using the tactics a lot of the left want to see. I'm still not voting for him and I'm not OKwith abandoning anyone - you're either for rights for all or you're not, and he's not. I just want other pols who suck less than he does, people i actually like, to adopt an aggressive, confrontational style vs Trump like he's doing

@nprofile…uf9j @nprofile…p6vp yes, I set Miles electric material fully to the side as its own thing, and Mwandishi as well, which I find to be the only thing that equaled or even extended what Miles was doing. The others, to me, are the start of the style of fusion I'm not as much into. Again I can't really articulate why this distinction, and I do love a track here and there (Cucumber Slumber!).
Most of the other early 70s jazz I love gets categorized "spiritual" - Alice, Pharoah, Tyner, Joe Henderson

@nprofile…p6vp I've lost contact with the part of my former self that could connect to the awesome side. I used to hear that duality. Now I just hear it as silly and contrived, and since it's all composed and rehearsed, not impressive. Same is true for most prog rock of the era. I've just lost the connection to whatever it was that clicked for me

Crowdfunding for Tom Constanten's health care. I hate this timeline, but it's good people are giving.
