Hey Lemmy give me an album to listen to
  • Suite for Ma Dukes by Miguel Atwood Ferguson. Live recording of a Dilla tribute concert with a 60 piece orchestra. Stakes Is High with Posdnuos and Talib Kweli is a standout. Album is on Bandcamp and the full concert video is on YouTube.

    In the World: From Natchez to New York by Olu Dara. He's the father of Nas (who guests on the album) and an accomplished jazz musician in his own right, but this isn't a jazz album. Okra is in my top three songs about food.

    Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway. A mashup of De La Soul and Fela Kuti. "Music is the weapon. Music is the future. Music is the weapon of the future."

  • Amazon will “ramp up” Prime Video ads in 2025
  • There's quite a few worth watching besides what's already been mentioned.

    • Patriot
    • Bosch
    • Goliath
    • The Night Manager
    • Sneaky Pete
    • Reacher
    • Jack Ryan
    • Mr. & Mrs. Smith
    • Good Omens
    • The Man In The High Castle
    • The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
  • What is the best concert you have ever been?
  • I bet we were at some of the same shows if you were doing First Ave/Fine Line/Turf Club/Uptown Bar in the '90s.

    I'll take Replacements at 7th Street Entry in early 1986. Westerberg did If Only You Were Lonely solo acoustic as an encore while getting pelted with beer bottles from off stage.

    Most memorable (in hindsight) would be Stevie Ray Vaughan at Alpine Valley the night before the helicopter crash.

  • What's a song you know that is really obscure but still amazing?
  • Super Monster - Ooh La La La

    I bought an old iPod at a garage sale awhile ago and this was on it. It took a surprising amount of searching to find, given just the artist's name and song title.

    It could be an outtake from Velvet Underground's Loaded. The singer even sounds like a young Lou Reed.

    Don Henley - Boys of Summer

    More summer. Both from 1984, though Cruel Summer was initially released as a single in '83.

    Eric Clapton - Motherless Children

    Motherless children decidedly don't share their mother's health. Kind of an anti-connection, I guess.

    Spotify CEO sparks backlash after social media post that claimed the cost of making "content" is "close to zero"

    Spotify CEO Daniel Ek touched the collective nerve of the music world by saying it costs almost nothing to make "content"

    Spotify CEO sparks backlash after social media post that claimed the cost of making "content" is "close to zero"

    >Spotify CEO Daniel Ek sparked an online backlash after a social media post in which he said the cost of creating "content" is "close to zero". > >The boss of the streaming giant said in a post on X: "Today, with the cost of creating content being close to zero, people can share an incredible amount of content. This has sparked my curiosity about the concept of long shelf life versus short shelf life. > >"While much of what we see and hear quickly becomes obsolete, there are timeless ideas or even pieces of music that can remain relevant for decades or even centuries. > >"Also, what are we creating now that will still be valued and discussed hundreds or thousands of years from today?" > >Music fans and musicians were quick to call Ek out, with one user, composer Tim Prebble, saying: "Music will still be valued in a hundred years. Spotify won't. It will only be remembered as a bad example of a parasitic tool for extracting value from other peoples music. (or "content" as some grifters like to call it)." > >Musicians weighed in too, with Primal Scream bassist Simone Marie Butler saying: "Fuck off you out of touch billionaire."

    McDonald's: $18 Big Mac was 'exception'

    McDonald’s U.S. President Joe Erlinger said reports suggesting the price of the average Big Mac has doubled since 2019 were false.

    McDonald's: $18 Big Mac was 'exception'

    > McDonald’s is fighting back against viral tweets and media reports that it says have exaggerated its price increases. > > In a post on the company’s website Wednesday, McDonald’s U.S. President Joe Erlinger said reports suggesting the price of the average Big Mac has doubled since 2019 were false. McDonald’s said the average U.S. Big Mac was $4.39 in 2019 and now costs $5.29, a 20.5% increase. > > Erlinger acknowledged that he and many franchisees were frustrated by a post on X last summer about a Big Mac meal in Connecticut that cost $18, calling the price “an exception.” > > McDonald’s saw a marked slowdown in store traffic in the first three months of this year as inflation-weary customers in the U.S. and other big markets ate out less often. > > “It’s clear that we — together with our franchisees — must remain laser-focused on value and affordability,” Erlinger said.

  • Are there qualifications to be a Justice? Do you have to be a lawyer or attend law school to be a Supreme Court Justice?

    The Constitution does not specify qualifications for Justices such as age, education, profession, or native-born citizenship. A Justice does not have to be a lawyer or a law school graduate, but all Justices have been trained in the law.

  • I kinda wish Sonic Youth would update lyrics for Youth Against Fascism. They can keep the verse about Clarence Thomas, though.

  • Multiple instance filters

    What's the difference between the two instance filters? If they are the community and user instances, how do I tell them apart?
