Jack DeJohnette, versatile jazz drummer known for Miles Davis fusion recordings, dies aged 83 Drummer played on Bitches Brew and other landmark recordings, as well as making numerous albums as a bandleader

β€œI am hearing orchestrally,” he said. β€œI guess one example would be the cymbals are to my drum set what the sustain pedal is on the acoustic piano. So I am hearing colours.” #RIP #JackDeJohnette #music #MusicSky www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...

I'm doing a "power week" as my fasting app calls it... Have been doing 16-8 for two weeks prior to this. Today is the first real 'hard' part. πŸ˜…

The body is quite thin, so that takes some getting used to. Sitting down it is kind of close to my body.

I can see why using a pick would be popular. I will have to log some time playing standing with a strap to see how comfortable I find it.

I am enthused about how it sounds and I can't wait to play it in a band setting! I was worried it would be too distinctive a sound but it is pretty versatile and takes pedals and tone shaping well. πŸ‘

A Rickenbacker bass like Paul McCartney played on later Beatles recordings, on a guitar stand. It is a black body with a white pick guard.  It has a distinctive wave shaped head stock.

Hey so you remember how I said I was looking for a 5-string bass? Well screw all that because I traded my Stingray for a Rickenbacker 4003S last night!

Listen, I was in attendance at a World Series game last time the Blue Jays won the title and I am happy for them but I know enough about sports to know I should not start watching the games now. Its strictly basketball for me now.

Probably a tone arm balance or tracking adjustment needs to be made. Not sure if you have the ability to adjust those things on your particular turntable?

Some #ADHD things

Days plans thrown off by unexpected request to drive to an appointment downtown. Hard to now get back into the work I was supposed to do.

I hate traffic jams.

I cannot understand traffic reports the way they're presented on the radio, I have a hard time following them.

SoNoMu SoNoMu (Sound Noise Music) is a mastodon instance for musicians, sound-artists, producers of any kind of aural noise, songwriters, bedroom producers, sonic manglers and algorave livecoders.

I think there's just an application/approval process. sonomu.club/about

It's an instance for sound noise music people and there's an approval process. You should be good to join it 😁 it's community funded and supported. Running well.

Also it isn't about the pretty part of the designs, although you can certainly go that way if you like. I am utilitarian, mostly in my use. Following the creators ideas.

I borrowed Carroll's actual book on the method, rather than from the website. I like books better lol. Its like 1/3 about the method, and 2/3 about the why and the philosophy of life. I like it!

Is my first guitar older than you? Its birthday was August 1994, made in the Samick workshop in Korea.

It has played many a tune in those 31 years that I've had it.

Graph from NetBlocks showing the network connectivity in Afghanistan, from September 25, 2025, to October 1, 2025. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Afghanistan's connectivity remains stable at around 100% throughout most of the time period, with a sharp drop on the afternoon of September 29. Partial recovery is now visible. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 0% and 56%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN' indicates the period of disruption.
