At some point today I'll be moving/migrating over to esoteric.party, the #Mastodon site I set up with @pinato. Wondering if I should keep this profile, just as a backup. Anyway, if you see me refollowing, just wave; if I loose you in the process, find me; in the event that my enemies take me out, avenge me.

Christmas - In Excelsior Dayglo

Was having a discussion on here a couple days ago about Volcano Suns, which made me think of one of my other favorite Boston bands from 85, 86. I have lots of thoughts about this regional era of US indie rock, but suffice to say every time I listen to this record I reminded how I played the hell out it & exactly why.A terrific record.

@brucelevenstein I guess it would’ve been assumed you would have known, but apologies for the oversight on my behalf.

@brucelevenstein but, yeah, a little surprising

@brucelevenstein I envy you discovering that just now. Such pleasures await you.

So @pinato & I are thinking of setting up our own #Mastodon instance through a managed service. One thing I'm wondering about, & couldn't answer with a cursory web search, is that a lot hosted tiers refer to "Federation Capacity." Can someone explain this to me, or point me to an explanation?

@puffer just requested this from my local library.

[2/3 7 PM] (1/2) Mt Washington summit @MWObs is currently reporting a wind chill of -105°F. The winds were brutal today, often gusting over 100mph. A reason is due to the summit being above the tropopause, which means that it was not spared from violent stratospheric winds. #nhwx

J Dilla - Donuts

This showed up in 2 unrelated youtube videos this past week so I’m taking it as a sign to spin it.

@malinkey@mstdn.party I mean, it’s a whole new thing. I never even thought about being ghosted by your admin. Have you noticed anything?

Today is #BandcampFriday.

I discovered Three Pillars Of Limbic Fission in the cassette bin of an independent record store in Columbus, Ohio. No one there was sure where it came from, but taking a chance on it only risked me one dollar. What lived inside both the cassette and its packaging changed my life forever.

Please help me raise money for NARAL Pro-Choice America while also helping us try to identify and locate the author of this remarkable, one-of-a-kind release.

#MWE 2/3: V/A - Gomi-Akta (Coquette, 1993)

Gomi-Akta ('valueless trash') was a compilation curated by Masonna with the unique stipulations that all its content had to be recorded using his personal Sony™ Walkman® (contributors would borrow it) and no electricity could be used in the performance. What followed was 41 vignettes of pets snarling, drinks pouring, teeth brushing, toilets flushing, day jobs bustling, and the occasional a cappella song - an ad-hoc audio doc of these noisicians' lives.

I know Friday is a busy hashtag day but I wanted to do an old school #FollowFriday to welcome one of my oldest, most special real world friends, @pinato who i convinced to join #mastodon despite being wary of social media.

All my mutuals are special, but these are some of that fill my feed with joy that might align with his interests, curiosities:

Morning, all! It's a fine #BandcampFriday, so please take a minute to check out some independent music and maybe but an album or two. For the price of a single drink out, you can make a musician's whole day!

Not sure where to spend that money? I got you. I'll be tweeting links and recommendations on and off all day.

Here's mine, to get you started:

@malinkey@mstdn.party nope I got the IRS at Newbury Comics for $6. But there is a $.99 sticker on the bag. Another band that huge for me that largely slipped through the cracks.

Anyway, I’ll get out of yr mentions now. ✌️

@malinkey@mstdn.party That first record is one I’ve hung onto since I first bought it new. I have the IRS record I got for .99 if the sticker on the front is to be believed at that time when vinyl prices bottomed out probably. I have a test pressing of the Matador record I got at a @WFMU record fair in like ‘97.

It’s been ages since I listened. I should do a run through again.
