As a big fan of 1960's era ska, I tend to not care much for the 3rd and 4th wave bands. Mostly because too many of them stray from the horn sound as a focal point 🎷🎺
But there are some really fun contemporary ska-punk-jazz bands that showcase upbeat brass sections. Here's one of my favorite examples.

DAMMIT. I’ve always loved the #MoodyBlues. And the Guardian’s right—they were hugely influential. 💔😢
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/oct…
YOWSA that was some #toronto parade! We left #christiepits at dusk, with 4 sousaphones, some number of trumpets, trombones, saxophones of all sorts, fire dancers and drums galore, and I'm told my notoriously loud banjo was actually heard above the chaos.
It's largely a blur, but I do recall an extended 2nd line paused in the centre of some intersection where a blocked streetcar called Hold was opposite another that seemed in business, so that suggests we were crossing College?! A fair hike from Bloor.
My feet hate me, but it was a magical night. All musicians volunteered, for many it was old-home catching up with others not seen in years, and dancers of all ages.
I pinged a few fellow players with my "THIS is what Music is for, what we do on a stage is only a simulation of this" and all agreed. That gives me hope.

Saying "this old song is better than 99% of music today" misses the obvious point that the song in question was also better than 99% of music of *its* time. You know about this song because it was great. You know almost nothing about the trash music of that era.

In addition to the praise from others for his wit, the sharpness of his satire, and his musicianship, I’ll add that Tom Lehrer’s rhymes reached heights of ingenious absurdity that are simply without peer.
I mean…who else can touch this? No, that is not a question; it is a statement. Music starts at 1:09:

Hildegard Knefs "Endstation" ist ein Beispiel dafür, wie die deutsche Übersetzung eines englischen Liedtextes besser sein kann als das Original (in dem Fall Cole Porters "At Long Last Love). Der deutsche Text stammt von Mischa Mleinek.

look, i'm not really sure if music sounds better on vinyl (& not terribly interested in debating) *but* books definitely read better as mass market paperbacks.
Tom Lehrer made all of his music 100% public domain
so if seeing people sad about his death makes you want to check them out…
it’s free.

When I design physical objects, I think in boxes and simple, usually circular-section curves. This has been true when I freehand build physical objects, as well as when I model things on the computer. Fillets are about as crazy as I get.
I'm in awe of artists whose design imaginations extend to "organic" shapes.

RIP Tom Lehrer, brilliant satirical songwriter.
I was introduced to him by my high school chemistry teacher via the Elements song, but one that resonates with me now is "Wernher Von Braun." Like all his songs, he released it to the public domain a few years ago:

Ah yes, a very drunk guy stumbled up to me today and told me my outfit was “a master peace” cool enough for him to offer me some alcohol, so we could chat about drugs. I hit him with a kind-hearted “sorry, not sorry, but also kinda sorry, I’ve got friends to meet.”
Then he squints at me and goes, “ok but what music you like?” which somehow turned into me giving a whole TED Talk on why psychedelic experiences are one thing and psychedelic trance music is an entirely different flavor of …
