Happening NOW on the Todd-O-Phonic Todd show:
Peter Wolf returns to the show to discuss his amazing new memoir ‘Waiting on the Moon: Artists, Poets, Drifters, Grifters and Goddesses.’ Best known as the singer of The J. Geils Band, Peter has led an incredible life. His time spent as a DJ in Boston was pivotal to his sensational career.
PLUS! The legendary Swamp Dogg (aka Jerry Williams) discusses the soon-to-be classic film, "Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted" (Magnolia Pictures). The film features Swamp Dogg and his "bachelor pad of aging musicians" painting his pool alongside the likes of Mike Judge, Jenny Lewis, John Prine and Tom Kenny while discussing the trials and tribulations of the music industry. Don't miss the Monty Hall screening tomorrow (Sunday) night!

This sticker features the title and refrain of Woody Guthrie’s 1944 song,
All You Fascists Bound to Lose.

Since its original popularity amidst the Nazis’ World War II defeat, the song has been repeatedly covered and adapted by successive generations of anti-fascists.
The design includes Ricardo’s woodcut portrait of the folk singer, who often performed with the message “this machine kills fascists” displayed on his guitar.

Blue and white image. Blue background with white text. In the center a hand holds four stickers. Stickers are square with a blue circle in the center. Inside of this circle, a portrait of Woodie Guthrie and white text. Text reads "all you fascists bound to lose".

@tor_haxson sorry, that's all still powerfully unclear! but i think zoom is my solution.

2025-05-02

@tor_haxson don't want to record by cell phone, because there's no way to monitor to make sure that it's recording. specifically looking for a desktop app.

2025-05-02

unreasonably frustrated that #skype is going away. besides google voice, are there any other desktop apps that allow you to a.) dial out to a regular #phone number & b.) record it in such a way that the audio can be easily split into multiple channels? (can you even do the latter with google voice?) #tech

I downloaded a scientific paper of great interest to me. It is of typical length, about 15 pages in the PDF. I opened it in Acrobat, and got this message highlighted at the top of the page next to an AI sparkle icon: "This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary." I cannot put into words how much this enrages me. First, this is not a long document. Have you met documents? Second, and more important, telling someone to not read a thing they want to read??! Fuck you, Adobe.

This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary.

4/29/75 ace’s: a jam labeled SWING WARMUPS, featuring double-keys action by godchaux (on piano) & lagin (on rhodes), similar to the A-to-E-FLAT groove from february, but minus the distinctive change. cool feel, though. E-A-C JAM is the verse/chorus of MUSIC NEVER STOPPED, sounding less developed than earlier takes, but with the MIND LEFT BODY-ish change now inserted as a bridge; a few days from having 1st draft lyrics. #deadfreaksunite #gd042975 [2/2]

50 years ago today, the #GratefulDead work on “blues for allah” at bob weir’s home studio. less than 6 minutes of music in circulation from 2 fragments posted on the taper’s section blog, but both fascinating/revealing.
