@funkentechno @geoffwilt I would watch the episode of Nathan For You where he convinces the owner of a froyo shop to make a poo flavor "for publicity". If you don't like that then you are made of stone.

@RivalDealer26 @alicealeph0 @misterminsoo Isn't the reverse also true? the level that you like something can be lied about, or how serious your liking a certain artist is. Why doesn't that bother people the way publicly disliking things does?

Wrote about a new compilation out via @wewantsounds highlighting some choice cuts from the Electric Bird Records—a key label for understanding the evolution of Japanese jazz fusion. My two favorite things coming together, good history and good music. :-> https://t.co/SvJVYJVDne

[Richguy69 @Richguy691]

@funkentechno One of my faves. Almost never gets talked about because of the Japan-only pressing but its so good from start to finish.

@copyrightlover @johnthemod1 This is not the album version of ride on time, which a simple check of the runtimes would have shown you.

[Richguy69 @Richguy691]

@SansonGil @misterminsoo It is literally already organized into standalone chapters, just like a miniseries.

@Silpayamanant "is this why pianos have three strings per note? When I play a piano with one string per note, it sounds not only weaker but a totally different instrument... Three strings cannot be in perfect unison or in perfect phase and that's what gives the piano its characteristic sound."

[Richguy69 @Richguy691]

@Silpayamanant I learned from this old thread of that many professional piano tuners purposfully detune 1 out of every 3 strings by 0.1 cents https://t.co/3iDk3b2CzP

@misterminsoo Who, exactly, tf is ted?

[Richguy69 @Richguy691]

@Silpayamanant It always wows me that the ability of the harmonica to bend notes, which is so integral to blues harmonica style, was just an accidental byproduct of its portable design.

[Richguy69 @Richguy691]

@therewasnosound @meleeideologue @misterminsoo The average age of the pitchfork staff that made the recent (deeply homogeneous) 90s list seems to be well under 40.

[Richguy69 @Richguy691]

@szgoldner And there's like another 50 lines on the album that good too

[Richguy69 @Richguy691]

@JRehabbing @DeclouxJ On this note the commentary track by Chung Sung-ill for the March of Fools Blu-Ray on KOFA is one of the best commentary tracks I've ever heard.

@bigfanofnoise Everything Yuichi Yokohama has created, he's a very singular mangaka.

The Cage, by Martin Vaughn-James, one of the acknowledged classics of avant-comics.

[Richguy69 @Richguy691]

@all_ages It won't help, Rudy famously would change the mic placement before anyone took a photo of his studio.

[Richguy69 @Richguy691]

@mo_troper You're right, pretending that all criticism of cosplay diy is actually really intense antisemitism IS very important.

[Richguy69 @Richguy691]

@funkentechno Have you seen Three Businessmen? It's Alex Cox explicitly paying homage to Luis Bunuel and it's great.

[Richguy69 @Richguy691]

@funkentechno Walker is soooooooooo good. I bet you're gonna love it.

[Richguy69 @Richguy691]

@marianatimony @World0fEcho "Free Form Guitar" is what inspired Msayuki Takayanagi to give up traditional jazz

[Richguy69 @Richguy691]

@total_exit Yeah those are definitely the big two. I still haven't read Suttree. To me, McCarthy is a writer whose books make much more sense when you understand whatq he's being inspired by. (Melville and Faulkner and the Bible, mostly.)
