This clip of R. L. Burnside performing “See My Jumper Hanging On The Line” is one of my favorite corners of the internet.

Hard to keep a weightless guitar in place to play - and not kick my lunch velcroed to the wall. That @LarriveeGuitars was put up on the space station by @nasa psychologists and is still there - 139,500 world tours!

To date, exposure to nicotine has mostly occurred via cigarette smoking. That is why the effects of smoking and nicotine tend to be conflated. While addictive, the primary cause of smoking-related disease is not exposure to nicotine. *Products are addictive and not risk free.

CONFESSIONS OF A BAR-BAND GUITARIST 10-25-2024 I never wanted to be a solo artist. I wanted to be part of a band. These days, it feels like we’re all pretty much solo due to the fragmented nature of the scene. Most of us are hunkered down in a room by ourselves tapping on a computer. The thing is that I’m a great band member/sideman. I love that role and feel comfortable in it. I learn the songs, write charts, show up when I should, my gear works plus I always have backups, and I don’t drink. My place is standing to the side of the lead singer. I do everything in my power to make that singer look good, which is really every side player’s job. Now, due to modern times and my own circumstances, I make music completely on my own. As most of you know, that approach has its pros and cons. I miss the human interaction and musical intercourse of musicians reacting to each other. That just doesn’t happen when working alone with a computer. It would make me happy to find a couple people who wanted to record here with me in person, especially singers. Instrumentalists, too, would be welcome. I like hearing other personalities besides my own. What’s your take on this? Do you like rolling solo or in a band? Which have you done the most?

Why would you do this? What is the point of this “me first” bullshit man? Even alluding to this seems incredibly disrespectful to his family and legacy. They clearly did not want you to say anything on it until the official post. Don’t be so fucking selfish. RIP JACK RUSSELL
Super sad news coming any minute on the death of a well loved 80s rocker. I’ll let proper channels release it but will be public any minute. Don’t want to jump the gun on the official release. But TBA very soon.

The intersection of AI with the ocean of mass surveillance data that's been building up over the past two decades is going to put truly terrible powers in the hands of an unaccountable few.
OpenAI hiring the dude who was in charge of mass surveillance at NSA is so predictable it hurts
