@brewsterkahle The RIAA (and MPAA) were clients of mine when I worked in "anti-piracy" (a categorically broken and/or stupid industry if ever there was one) and the petty, reactionary, scrooge on meth personalities there were utter gobshite on a good day...good days were rare.They are utter turd-tsunamis.

"Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, Smashing Pumpkins) and Bryan Beller (Mike Keneally, Dweezil Zappa, Dethklok) is a damn good rhythm section for #Satch. Tuneful, economical, but can rip when need be..."#JoeSatriani still does some decent stuff. Yes, its guitar-centric stuff, but he's always had moments on every record where he writes *songs* instead of endless soling, to good results.https://zeruch.wordpress.com/2023/11/08/sounds-that-have-been-made-ep-83-joe-satriani-sahara/

#sketchbook November 2023. I first heard #SaraTavares when her LP "Balancê" came out in the early 2000s, and had really enjoyed watching her develop from a mostly pretty straightforward Cape Verdean mellow morna vibe, into something more eclectic and refined on later albums like Xinti...Sara passed away this weekend at the age of 45. The #drawing is done in parallel pen on bristol paper. #art #musicalusofona #saratavares

The headline from the #FT was that the newly elected "anarcho-capitalist" Javier #Milei "has been elected president of #Argentina. Investors are loving it."To which my response was: ...they are loving it because he is going to facilitate them using the Argentinian economy like a piñata.

Actually sat and plowed through to completion pretty swiftly (certainly not typical for the usually plodding me). "Disquiet 44: a near extinguished flame that might be lurking there" is mixed media on a couple of different surfaces, scanned and sampled and then surgically frankensteined together digitally. Available as prints. #art #contemporaryart #emergingartist #abstract #painting #abstractexpressionism #abstractpainting #buylocalart

I really am enjoying a certain type of renaissance of #SimpleMinds, inasmuch as they are putting out new material that is fresh (maybe not the best of their catalog, but stands up remarkably against anything out today), but also leaning into the power of their early pre-DontYouForgetAboutMe fame albums, where they were more post-punk and new wave layered artsy than much else. The material is still totally listenable, and great live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yooptapt7Fs

When I first heard this a few decades ago, I was sure the line "Let the Carnival Begin, Every Pleasure Every Sin" was Boy George, but ends up it was by UK drag queen icon #LanaPellay (an associate of the late fashion designer, performance artist and all around controversy magnet #LeighBowery), as it's the house hook in this otherwise standard crazy-quilt wall of #dub-industrial funk that guerilla polemicist #GaryClail put out throughout the 90s....https://zeruch.wordpress.com/2023/12/23/sounds-that-have-been-made-ep-96-gary-clail-on-u-sound-system-human-nature/ #tackhead #onusound

The Genius of Sheila E. While she isn't my favorite drummer, she's up there. An absolute monster on a trap kit on at a latin percussion rig, her technical fury, musical phrasing, and total ability as a performer makes her an utterly singular entity.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7aia8HyL-s#drums #sheilaE

I've had an unused #Etsy account for years, but am considering it for selling some original #artwork instead of the prints I use other services for. In reading of certain experiences, this one came up: "Your safety as a user who provides income for Etsy doesn't matter. However, the privacy of scammers does." https://alinaleonova.net/blog/etsy...so I'm probing the mastosphere for their own reviews/feedback, so...OI!

"#USENET, or NetNews, is a text-only social discussions forum, or rather a set of a great many forums, called "newsgroups," carried by multiple servers around the world. Although the original developers closed down their instance in 2010, that was just one server out of hundreds, and many are still running just fine. It never went away – it's still alive, you can get on it for free, and there is a choice of client apps for most OSes to help you navigate."https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/30/usenet_revival/
