My God. Again.

I want to round up all the mouth-breathers on MusicBrainz with an “it’s written that way on the box” fetish and kick them off the interweb.

I should just stop moderating, or pretending that the opportunity to create and utilize a global, comprehensive, coherent metadata schema means that anyone will actually care to use it. (Hi Joe.)

I think I’ve gone over this before here, but seriously, Tom West. He’s been posting some classics mixes lately. Fantastic business.

Apparently I just spent 10 minutes tweaking my de-crapify content-filter for a mailing list which no longer exists.

Also, The Hafler Trio! Exclamation point, one.

An oldie, but a goodie which I found again researching the Dolphy quote. Am totally putting that album on when I get home.

JV is on tour. Yesterday:

Today in Copenhagen I saw a group of Muslim kids taunting and kicking an old man in front of hundreds of people. I stood and cried, and in my anxious and depleted state I felt very clearly this was a sign of terrible things to come.

It is necessary to document things. That’s what his music says to me, for some reason, even though most of his songs read like crazy short stories; that lets you say, “ah, that’s where I was when I wrote that” or “ah, that’s where I was when I listened to that.” So that’s where we are.

There are MP3s on the site; they got me to buy the album, so take a minute to give them a listen.

I can’t believe I went and did another one of these.
