Rhythm sections = important to me. Therefore, I may be a woofer not a tweeter. Nevertheless, tweets from the desk of Ned Ludd...or I post them myself.

@davidclowery Electoral politics aside, when a band has a hit, or is even "buzzing," my observation is that many rapid, fake "friends" appear.

[Robert Vodicka @robertvodicka47]

While it was before the album that you released on Homestead, the song, "My Place," from what I think was the first full-length record is one of my favorite songs even after all these years.

Really liked this episode, perhaps b/c I like Zevon's songs so much.

Taurasi has won more than Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Larry Bird, etc...
If you are ranking the top basketball players in history, she belongs toward the top of that list.

R.I.P. Gary Floyd, an 80s punk legend and queer activist. The San Fran singer wrote “Freight Train” for his band Sister Double Happiness and it became one of the first songs written about the AIDS/HIV epidemic. Two chords + the truth. Thank you, Gary.🙏 🖤https://t.co/GTVhNbMogl

I suggest "The Secret Integration," short story in Slow Learner. Plot centers on children - I find it charming. A way to ease into Pynchon without investing tons of time If you don't like it, no need to read more. If you like it, then there are other wonders to explore.

[Melissa @magistrabeck]

Which Pynchon should I read first? I'm guessing that I shouldn't start with Gravity's Rainbow?

First Love Child show since 1993 on the horizon! June 9 @UnionPool with Thalia Zedek’s current band E

[Robert Vodicka @robertvodicka47]

Only on the music, "Sad Lovers Waltz" still brings tears. "Abundance" is some sort of convergence between punk rock aesthetics about songwriting and a band that could play. I could go on song by song.

[David C Lowery @davidclowery]

Also this should be a glue on cover. It’s printed on thin paper that is then glued on to cardstock. It was almost a kind of performance art. A conscious attempt to make the cheapest out of favor (in 1986) style of album cover. It was transgressive.

[Robert Vodicka @robertvodicka47]

While I know that your refer to your fans as crumbs, what about something like "Curated Crumbs?" I can riff on the general concept. Regardless, happy to see this.

[David C Lowery @davidclowery]

What do we call this album? Putting together a sort of "alternative history" retrospective multi disc set for @thebandcracker. Doing it with @cookingvinyl. The idea is to tell the Cracker story mostly using alternate takes, re-records, live recordings, demos and oddities. Things like Leftover Salmon collaborations, WDR Rockpalast concert, the Redux album, demos, and various oddities like the Sick of Goodbyes we did slowed down with members of @drivebytruckers. It started out as an effort to minimize recordings we would to license back from @UMG. But it's got a vibe. I was thinking of calling it Alternate History, like the general sci fi category. But Alternative (get it) history also works.

Happy Birthday to our bass player ⁦@Bryan_J_Howard⁩

This lays bare the operative harmonic idiom (+ resembles things I told @accommodatingly's TS class in March); otoh, any viable popular style/artist) relies on comparably reproducible conventions, at some level. Don't be smug unless your only jam is Zappa or Zorn; and even then...

You have time to hike today.
If your writing is taking all your time maybe you should think a bit about your writing process.
If you want to write about life (and that's what we are doing in the social sciences) it helps if you have a life.

If you could recommend one B&W movie to a person who dislikes them, what would it be?

I'll begin:

Night of the Hunter (1955)
Director: Charles Laughton

[George Karl @CoachKarl22]

It’s almost laughable to have a “most influential” conversation and not include Dr. J and Spencer Haywood at the top of the list.

They are two guys who literally changed the whole shape and system behind the sport!

Respect your history!!

While I don't post here often and no one gives a shit, and while I only saw them three times, the first of which, they were incomprehensible to me, they were the best.
