I’m once again blasting this extraordinary Funkadelic tape and asking myself why I don’t listen to it daily.

This is a rock from the front yard of Big Pink.
I swiped this chalk from the blackboard rail after Vonnegut used it during a 2001 lecture at the U of Iowa.
Says so right in our bio
Aurora’s a tough market. Sometimes you need a professional.
I’m sure being a booking agent ain’t no picnic but damn…
BA: Want to join a local 4-band bill this weekend?
Me: Nah
BA: Cool. Do you have the contact info for a few other bands who sound like you?
😂
It was work that needed doin’! Pleased to be among the freaks who got it done.
Beyond honored to have played a minor role in this project.
As a lover of BFA who’s found the session tapes an impenetrable mess, the ability to hear them in sequence, context, and with full session notes as they’re presented here is a dream.
On par with any $$$ archival box set you’ll hear 💀⚡️
RIP Augie
Vox Continentalist supreme. Tremendous album cover.

If you play this @goldenbrownmusic.bsky.social LP at 45 rpm, it turns into a drippy funk-psych dance party. Highly recommend the alternate speed (and the regular one, too).
The grill of a large truck with a Texas plate that reads BIGDOG2.
When you miss out on the BIGDOG custom plate, is this really the next best option?
An amazing glimpse of what coulda been. Nobody really shreds face here but the lineup is wild and the vibe is pleasantly unsettling.

Check out these rad petroglyphs I soaked up today.
some pals & i went through all the circulating tapes of the grateful dead sessions at ace's in 1975, fixed dates & track names & tape speeds, & boiled it into a collection of wild music. big ups to @brokensymmetry.art, save your face, & @jeremyerwin.bsky.social. complete file set coming soon.

Headed to Albuquerque to infiltrate a gang of Dead freaks.
Very impressed with how quickly dude singers have adopted the marble mouth geese voice.
I don't know why y'all are subjecting yourselves to this when you could watch the Muppet Show instead.
Quotes: "The resulting album feels like an alternate timeline in which In a Silent Way never mutates into Bitches Brew, and instead the finely calibrated ambience of third stream modernism reigns supreme."
The late 60s/early 70s era of jazz/funk/soul is endlessly fascinating because of all the bifurcations and marriages that occurred. @jeremyerwin.bsky.social captures it well talkin about Zawinul in @aquariumdrunkard.com aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/02/24/j...
In the trilogy that includes In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew, Zawinul is undoubtedly the third installment.
And it’s hiding in record bins everywhere for about $6.
I'm all about splitting the difference with some half rounds! What are you using on that Jazz bass, Dave?
I LIVED for that experience in my younger days. Middle aged me wouldn’t last 2 crates.
I managed about 30 seconds flipping through Herb Alpert discs and sealed SpongeBob soundtrack LPs.

Walks into a shop with wall to wall LPs, no bin cards or visible sections.
“Are these categorized?”
“I bet you’re looking for jazz. Only jazz dudes ask that question. We keep a tally of you in the back room”
I believe the sample begins when the horns enter around 2:10.
Fun jazz fact I learned today: Joe Zawinul's spooky track "Arrival in New York" is merely an extremely slowed down excerpt of Cannonball Adderley's "Country Preacher".
The intent was to recreate the foghorns Zawinul heard in NY Harbor when arriving on an immigrant ship.
I just tune in for the screaming. Sounds like a damn slaughterhouse.
Truly the golden era of the unexpected funky-ass breakdown
What amazes me about the last few Beach Boys archival sets is how great Dennis’ discarded material was.
The dude’s life was spiraling but his songwriting and arranging were dialed in. The vibe shift at 2:00 into this one is 🔥 youtu.be/C6A0qMgCHyE?...
Trying to impress Nile Rodgers with a Coldplay album is trademark Johnny Salami.
