@vurnt22 @melvingibbs Loudest show I ever saw was Ronald Shannon Jackson at the Toronto Jazz Festival in the early 90’s. Killer band. Fierce energy at the kit. Couldn’t hear right for days. Great time of my life. Saw Blood Ulmer, Sonny Sharrock and Bill Frisell all around the same period.

@ChrisO_wiki Laughable how the spectre of NATO involvement in Ukraine’s military success is repeated. The reality is that Ukraine has exposed NATO weakness as much as finally exposing Russian vulnerability. We’ve stood in Ukraine’s way and left its people to be savaged. slava ukraine!

@vurnt22 Very sad to hear this. Saw Blood Ulmer with Jamaladeen Tacuma and G Calvin Weston in Toronto might have been 90-91. After the show, I threw my pick in my guitar case and said hello to my thumb. What a voice. What a player. What a career!

@Mylovanov The hubris of western confidence is founded in the belief that democracy is conflated with capitalistic gain. The end game is slavery. Trump and Putin have the same goal. Profit, power, dominance.

O motor do SS Great Britain parece lento e ultrapassado hoje, mas foi essa engenharia que mudou o mundo. Ele foi o primeiro navio transatlântico de ferro com propulsão por hélice, tornando obsoletas todas as embarcações de madeira da época e encurtando as viagens globais.

自己陶酔型のヴォーカリストはよく見掛けるけど、イアン・カーティスの息詰まるような自己傾倒的なステージングを見てると心掻きむしられてしまう。

このステージの翌年、自宅で首を吊って自害しました。

Björk performing "Human Behaviour" live on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, 1993. Debut era.

@OneOutOf4 This music video was my very first job in film. Shot at the Oakville Performing Arts Theatre. Long hours, bad food, almost suffocated because I didn’t know you couldn’t breathe dry ice fog. Heard the song at least 100 times. Still love it. And Bruce. BNL’s version rocks too.

@DrGuitar 🇨🇦����🇺🇸 thanks for recognizing the vibe.

@cosmosarcive What a stupid premise, that we should expend all the effort to decamp the planetary home that gave rise to ours and countless other species, because humans couldn’t care enough to preserve a healthy, self sustaining biosphere. Mars is no escape. Earth is our last stand.

[Kevin Larstone @create_IF]

@CaolanReports Grew up in the shadow of German/Russian fascism. Felt we’d finally learned the failure of accommodation as a strategy. Yet, here we are, not only accommodating, but promoting. Putin’s end is inevitable, but human corruption seems endless. That’s the problem. How do we solve?

@McFaul Stop pretending that the 🇺🇸 is part of the free world. #theusaisaterroriststate

[Kevin Larstone @create_IF]

@McFaul Because an evil, narcissist, felon, pedophile realized your system of democracy could be undermined at every institutional level, enabled by morally bankrupt cronies & a not insignificant % of your population. 🇺🇸 is no beacon. Stop hand-wringing. Fix you. #theusisaterroriststate

@ThatEricAlper @HackettOfficial schooled me in ‘81 at SamTheRecordman Toronto. Trying to make my name in college radio, I asked horrible Genesis questions instead of investigating the Spectral Mornings record. He politely suggested several questions I could have chosen. #lifechangingmoment

@joncoopertweets None. If there was hole in the boat I’d make it bigger.

@AnnaFromUA_YT Can’t happen fast enough. I’m sorry we failed you, but when Ukraine humiliates putin and reveals him for the depraved sociopath he is, the “West” won’t be able to take credit. #SlavaUkraïni

[Kevin Larstone @create_IF]

@McFaul Your diplomatic politeness is frustrating beyond belief. Your country elected a sociopath for @POTUS and you’re offering an observation about contradictory messaging.
