Most of us weren’t aware of them early on when we discovered Venom, Mötörhead etc But by mid to late 80’s, yes.

Prove You're Not a Robot

Smalks un niansēts džezroks no @alexskolnick.bsky.social noteikti ir atzīmēšanas vērts manā šī gada izvēļu sarakstā. Es jau kādu laiku AST albumus gaidu vairāk par Testament.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

This is where America is now

Speaking of timely, can we convince Testament to thrash this up and release this as a single? The lyrics are <chef kiss>

Ha! Yes! Nice work, Alex. The Von Trapps would appreciate it.

It’s a step. The info can’t be hidden forever. Too many people know too much. And the efforts to block, redact and other smoke screens are very telling, even to some of Trump’s most loyal fans. Who’d have thought he and MTG would be reading each other the Riot Act? The wall of silence will crumble

Today seems as good a day as any to “release” the Epstein Files song. Sorry, couldn’t help myself 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lyrics by yours truly, based on “Edelweiss” by Rogers & Hammerstein (with apologies to “The Sound of Music”)

PS. Gizmo is not impressed

Nice to see #Testement in the Guardian national newspaper today.
Their new album Para Bellum is absolutely top notch.

OK, that got the most clapback and infighting on my BlueSky. Was just a thought experiment. Some of you could use a little decaf. Anyway while
I have your attention, I’ll be appearing in NYC next week, with a jazz guitar trio :)

They’re also highly intelligent, knowledgeable on issues yet recognize their own limitations and listen to others better informed. They will never say garbage like “No one knows more about _ than me!” Or “I alone can fix it!” Public recognition is a huge key to winning (as is painfully clear lately)

And now, ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for Moment of Zen (spoiler alert: they’re planing Trump 3.0)

He’s the only guy doing ANYTHING. Time to get behind the fighter we’ve got, not the imaginary, litmus-test passing, every-box-checking potential candidate some are waiting for
