I regret almost all interactions almost immediately, so take that under advisement.

Sorry to hear esteemed English double bassist Danny Thompson has died at 86. He was a member of Pentangle but also accompanied musicians such as Nick Drake, John Martyn (his frequent drinking buddy), and Richard Thompson. Pentangle live in 1971. #RIPDannyThompson m.youtube.com/watch?v=jgIW...

RIP Ozzy Osbourne. Glad he was able to have one final concert that celebrated his life and work. A true legend and rock god has been lost. Now in color👇👇👇

I was editing some photos from last Saturday. I hadn't noticed that this photo captured the crescent moon. Zoom in on the bottom right. So cool!

One of my favorite annual @democracynow.org traditions is that we always play this video of James Earl Jones reading Frederick Douglass's speech "What to the Slave is the 4th of July?"

If you've never read or heard the speech, it's well worth your time.

You shot an arrow through my heart…

#Volcano #CurtKirkwood #BudGough #MeatPuppets #EyesAdrift

Don Giovanni Records 2025 limited edition vinyl reissue of the 2004 limited independent release (and lone release) by Volcano. Formed by Curt Kirkwood and Bud Gough after the demise of Eyes Adrift.

The picture features a black turntable on which plays a reddish-looking record while the album cover is sitting on the back of the turntable. The album cover features a painting of a green volcano island surrounded by blue water, a purple sky, and an erupting volley of lava. There’s a round, yellow moon in the purple sky along with four yellow stars. The band’s name Volcano is written along the bottom of the cover with lava atop the water.

It may not be the hack you’re looking for, but the ol’ monthly wall calendar hanging in the kitchen trick goes a long way towards keeping track of things for me. It’s not out of sight, out of mind like a planner or app mostly is. 🗓️🤷🏻‍♂️
