Hopefully @marcissist.bsky.social won’t mind me stealing his post here but is this the greatest music trivia fact of all time?

today at the camp talent show someone asked me “who taught your kid how to drop it like it’s hot?”

trying to write 1500-2000 words on a trumpet solo that's basically just a rant about how depressed and out of my mind I was for 2+ years and wondering why anyone would ever want to read this

validated every life choice I've ever made by buying a hyoshigi off craigslist for no reason and several months later Frankie Mann wants this exact instrument for her piece

The great Danlee Mitchell passed away recently, percussionist and long time collaborator of Harry Partch's. Steve Schick sent me a link to an obit today where I was shocked and so happy to see a very young Michael Ranta with Partch and Mitchell in 1964. www.corporealmeadows.com/news-oped/20...

I ordered a $15 stereo-to-mono splitter cable from Sw**tw*t*r last night and this morning my guy Mike called to "see if I had any questions" and is this a business model that anybody enjoys?

Happy anniversary to me finally getting to see the greatest rock band of the last 30 years and also me walking into a giant concert with no security checking my ticket or even looking at me because there were so few women in line.

I finally sat down to do real work for the first time in weeks to review someone's tenure file and then I saw the Australian break dancer and now I can't function.

I am 100% certain I'm not the first to make this joke, but can we please get Alan Sparkhawk to pen a Harris campaign anthem called "Do You Know How to Walz?"

Derek Walmsley weighs in on all three new releases of mine in the September issue of The Wire. "Motor Tapes in particular marks a major creative step...The willingness to let sound be is what makes the music so alive."

my kingdom for a DM from someone with a Wire subscription

I stan gagaku

I found the most unappealing sounding food.

we should start investigating the genitals of poorly performing men's athletes, we have to protect the sanctity of men's sports.

lmk when a woman pole vaulter takes down the bar with her giant dick

Someone should take over Vital Weekly Heathcliff-style and turn it into a surrealist anti-comedy vehicle.

Finally back home with a pile of records accumulated over the summer I haven’t played yet. This one is Michael Ranta’s Japanese group from the late 70s Ark Percussion Staff playing improv and a recording of the Chavez Toccata I’ve never heard before.

had to get a new needle put on my turntable and the hifi guy tested it out with a copy of Hotel California and now I need another new needle.

going deep on obscure and unpopular olympic sports and loving it.

I finally tracked down a copy of this 10” without paying overseas shipping and it is a goddamn delight. Also I am engaged in a very fascinating email exchange with Tori Kudo right now, I’m not sure where it’s going but will be published online eventually. One of my heroes.

Watching Olympics and muttering “i could do that if I wanted to” every few minutes.
