510 is an Important Number to ,StS, so since there are now 510 of you looking at me, I'd like to introduce the real ,StS music makers 🎸
Two have been on recordings, two haven't (yet), all have been with me most of my life. See alt text for names/pins/other miscellaneous info #MusicSky #MusicianSky

Badb. Things get serious when she shows up. This is why most of her pins are incantations.

Pins, top to bottom:
Rally Possum Foam (and middle) Finger
Vida Blue 14
Ken Korach The Lights Have Taken Full Effect
Ray Fosse Wow!
Steven Vogt Be21eve (Believe)
Cheree (band) (actual bottom of strap, not actually very visible >.<)

Lugh. He's been calling, insisting that the age of the MIDI bass in ,StS is over. It has done well, but he is capable of far more. He's correct.

Pins, top to bottom:
A tiger
Oakland Soul
Oakland Ballers
Roots & Peace

Banshee. She has a whammy bar but she tends to go even more out-of-tune than is normal, so I keep it separate (but where I at least won't lose it) and use a whammy pedal on the occasions I want the effect. The chip at the tip of her headstock is why all the electrics have locking straps.

Pins, top to bottom:
Oakland Roots
Oaktown
Yellow Elephant
Stephen Vogt MLBelieve
Last Dive Bar

Brigid. I learned to play guitar on her. She's very important for something coming up in the future (probably 3rd in line.)

I'm glad these slimy comedians are getting ripped to shreds, but can we hold ALL of the actors who have said "yes" to new harry potter trash to the same standards please

Comedians like Aziz Ansari and Jessica Kirson need to look elsewhere for organizations to donate their Riyadh Comedy Festival money. Human Rights Watch said they ‘cannot accept’ donations from them.

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

I don’t post a lot about the ICE kidnappings and assaults because I don’t know what to do about it and don’t want to suggest courses of action that might get people killed, or draw the wrong kind of attention to people doing good work. But I hate them, and opposing them is basic decency

Works out to roughly $19,656 USD per enrolled musician at a cost of about $7.43 per Irish citizen. In contrast, the US Govt spends only about 59 cents per citizen on the entire national endowment for the arts (across all artistic disciplines).

There's a lot happening in AIIT? land, both in the short-term and the long-term.

I'm excited to share it all.

The roadmap is fairly idiosyncratic, I hope you'll enjoy the twists and turns along the way!
