Killer new self-titled EP by Sydney's BIG MODERN. Great guitar tone & lyrics, dynamics, it's tight, minimal sometimes.. there's some cool surprises on this one and I'm really digging it. And it's on Bandcamp AND Qobuz, which is cool - links below for both.

Down to the last bit of mixing on the new record with Danny Gotham. The #leukemia threw our timeline off by at least half a year (as of my 6-month post-chemo checkup I remain cancer-free), but I'm making last tweaks to the mixes as I speak. Off to the mastering engineer soon, then artwork and such.
It's really just a hodge-podge of stuff we like. Acoustic pieces by Peter Ostroush…

So there are a lot of products to prevent pedal knobs from being moved during transit. Many of them are $10-15 *per knob*.
BUT these here $0.69 neoprene washers from Ace Hardware are just as good!

Any sufficiently advanced disaster preparedness is indistinguishable from revolutionary dual power. This essay is a bit of a transition between the theory I've written earlier, and more concrete plans.
Even though I only touched on my life on the commune, it was hard not to write more. These are such weird spaces, with so much invisible opportunity. But they're also just so unique and special. For all the stress and uncertainty of making sure you stayed on Lorean's (the head priestess), there were also those long summer nights with the whole community (except the old lady) gathered around a fire, talking and drinking. There was almost a child-like play to the whole time.
There were so Fridays I'd come home with a couple of gallons of beer from the real world, folks would bring things from the garden, someone would grill a steak, everyone who didn't cook would clean up, and we'd just hang out and have fun. So many evenings I'd go over to Miles place with a guitar, or with his guitar, and we'd pass it around over a few beers, talking about philosophy, Star Wars, or some book or other. It's hard not to write about the strange magic of that space.
My partner and I bonded over similar experiences, mine on a weird little religious commune in California and theirs as a temporary worker at Omega Institute. Both had exploitation, people on weird power trips, frustrating dynamics, but also a strange magic and freedom. Both were sort of fantasy worlds, but places that let us see through this one, let us imagine something that something else is possible behind the veil.
There are many such veils.
Perhaps it's fitting that this is more meandering, as a good wander can help the transition between lots of hard thinking and lots of hard working.

Jam Track Plus Lead
#guitar #improvisation Here's a country-ish backing track in E. The chords are E-E7-E-E7-E-E7-C-D (2X), then A-E (3X) then B7. The C and D chords go out of the key of E, so you have to watch out for those and play chord tones rather than notes for the E scale…

Kid1 just told me he wants to learn guitar so he can play "I Was Made For Loving You." The internet works in mysterious ways.
I got my first ever bass guitar a couple of weeks ago. I'm loving it, and starting to figure out how to make it do what I want it to do.
The bass is a Sterling Stingray 5HH.
Guitar is a Jay Turser strat.

thumbing through used records at underground sounds, found b.b. king's very first LP, a 1957 compilation of hit singles from 1951 to 1956. fifteen bucks. wow.
the recording quality is not great to begin with, and it's pretty scratchy after almost seventy years, no skips, though ... oh wait i take that back, still, a real find!

❝Lynn Ahrens was a 22 year old guitar-playing secretary/copywriter at the advertising firm of McCaffrey & McCall when she was asked by producer George Newell if she’d like to contribute songs to the new Schoolhouse Rock project.
She wrote and sang “No More Kings.”
Think of her this weekend.❞
The core members of the band Flight Brigade include Ollie Baines (lead vocals, guitar), Miriam Baines (accordion, vocals), Dorry Hughes (violin, vocals), Thomas Pink (guitar), Jonny Barker (keys), Tom Clay (bass), and Neil Blandford (drums). This seven-piece folk-influenced band has been active since 2015, blending various instruments to create their signature sound.

I enjoy The Wombats. I own music by The Wombats. But it's not a good sign when a cover just makes you want to listen to the original. Can't deny that guitar solo was great though.

Listened to some of Death's Individual Thought Patterns album. I had completely forgotten how well you can hear the bass guitar on that album.
…
Except, it's the same with e.g. Deicide's Legion or Cannibal Corpse's Tomb of the Mutilated! These were all produced etc. by Scott Burns. So is it him I should be thanking.

One more recommendation for today because it just popped up on a playlist. The spell comes from a haunted guitar, which strikes me as totally normal.

#NowPlaying another great punk LP, this one is from 2018, the self-titled debut record 'Color TV' by Minnesota's COLOR TV. There's great hooky guitar lines all over this one. Kind of a Dickies feel sometimes, mixed maybe with the snottiness of The Briefs? Hadn't heard these guys-- a band to watch, for sure.
at property is theft, tom & danny from garcia peoples, minus the peoples, plus loops/beats/ebows & such. loose forms, sometimes a mite rough, sometimes ecstatic, all miniature distillations of the GPs' gooey guitar core. #nyc
Of course it's not only the money which is broken.
The music industry is also very crappy. Major pop stars rake in billions while most artists starve. There's only three record companies left, acting as gate keepers determining which sings get the payola to get radio play and Spotify basically gave up paying small artists in order to give Joe Rogan hundreds of millions of dollars.
Terrible situation.
So can bitcoin and lightning fix this?
Thus the after party here in Manchester.
Musicians and rappers at the event embrace V4V, value for value. Busking on the internet. Payment links on screen and on the live stream as they play.
Ainsley Costello tells us that her first song on fountain.fm made her a million sats, way more than any Spotify stream could make even if they still paid small artists.
She played us that song and then a whole range of artists took to the stage, live streamed over nostr, with donations coming in from all over the world.
All of them were talented and entertaining, but in particular Green Sands were tight and energetic and rocking, Edwin Williamson was deep and baritone and country, Roger 9000 really pumped the crowd with his bitcoin based songs and great tiny digital guitar and The Crypto raptor gets a special mention.
It was a really fun party, with musicians who all believe there is a better way than the terrible music industry.
Fast change overs and short sets means there were like ten acts in four hours among a friendly crowd in a dirty dive bar who all shared this common cause.
Full act list, all of whom are with checking out.

The office on Monday.
The stage was so small that I took this standing up against the back wall. Not deep enough for the drum kit, so drums/bass/guitar all in a line with just enough room for the singers not to fall off the stage.
Not feasible to have an amp on stage, so I went direct but used a QSC powered speaker to monitor, and in all honesty that was completely doable!
