revisiting The Big Country off of the name of this band is talking heads. a literal work of art. The first time I understood the song I was 25 and had just moved to pdx. (i checked the cd out from the library). I was like ‘how do they know my frame of mind in this instant?’ it was and still is magic

“The sound of music being played, is really the greatness of the human being.” - Wayne Shorter

Ryley Walker was short, but sweet

organizing selections for gallery hours at Mono Space and I’m so excited, it’s like a dream to have the opportunity to listen to these albums on such a high quality sound system with other living, breathing humans. this is the good stuff of life right? sharing art with art enthusiasts ❤️

"Many of these managers make 6 figures, a salary that many of us may never reach, and OPB is paying for a negotiator. The more they prolong this process, the more money it costs." -April Ehrlich, OPB Reporter/Producer

just bought a ticket to see Ryley Walker on Jan 19, only the second time I’ve seen him perform - stoke level at an ALL TIME HIGH 🤙🏼

there's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line and the less I seek my source for some definitive, the closer i am to fine 🖤

My favorite song right now is Club Tropicana by Wham! - it’s like a 4 min 25 sec mini vacay 🌴

’The Last Waltz’ Is The Best Thanksgiving Movie Ever Made As immortalized by Martin Scorsese, The Band’s farewell concert embodies everything great and troubling about Thanksgiving.

Reminded as I watched the Scorcese documentary that The Last Waltz is a Thanksgiving tradition we can all enjoy h/t @stevenhyden.bsky.social uproxx.com/movies/the-l...

Stevens likes to pretend he’s people, but I’m like stick to cat my dude. Way better than people 😘

Here’s my bb:

What a cutie!!!!!🥰

also this album is a delight✨

thinking about Eckhart Tolle and the death of ego on this moody Saturday morning. which is good because even just thinking about it, bringing awareness to it moves towards transcendence - this quote by Bikramjit Konwar really sums it up: ‘Ego and acceptance are two opposite ways’ which do u choose?

only one place on Earth that Antonio Carlos Jobim into Asha Puthli into Barney Kessel works. That place is @kmhd.org 🎯 tune in today at 1pm 89.1FM to hear exactly this 😘 #songsfromcloud9

Meg is one of the best people I've ever worked with in my whole career, and we're fighting for a fair livelihood to keep making radio for you all. What's weird is we're growing and successful, so this fight shouldn't exist. We deserve a fair contract for this substantive (and sustainable) work.

SML’s new album is extra tasty - comes out soon, but I got a lil preview 🙃

I like thinking about deserted island albums … Voodoo is high on the list. I feel like you can eat coconuts everyday for the rest of your life and be fine with it as long as you still have daily access to D’Angelo covering ‘Feel Like Makin’ Love’ sounds really fkn nice right about now honestly.

Awww, well said 💕 congratulations!

it does! lol

blushed and blushed and blushed specifically during last night’s listen of Dr. Feelgood amongst the entirety of I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You at Mono Space last night. Could’ve been the bourbon but mostly I think I’m in my Dr. Feelgood era of life. Thx to the excellent guide, Meg Samples 💚

I literally just played D’Angelo I Found My Smile Again on my radio show, opened the app and saw this Space Jam post. Spoooooky

love this band 💚

what an interesting and excellent evening of music: Roge & Shintaro Sakamoto ✈️
