Dada Strain dadastrain - Bluesky Statics

This is a flip (in the same direction) on something I said approximately a decade ago: The past was "everyone wants to be famous for 15minutes" - the future is "everyone wants to be famous to 15 people."

Less scale, more connection.

Was in Shea for **that** catch in Game 7. Was also in the Garden for Starks' dunk over Jordan, and Endy's catch instantly felt more memorable, amazin' historic: instant groans when the the bat cracked and the ball was flying to left-center, absolute disbelief when he brought it back in #Legend

Jason Moran plays Duke Ellington, by Jason Moran 12 track album

This new Moran solo piano record of Ellington tunes is magnificent, pure pathos, a reflection of what is happening in the world, and in our feeds, at the moment.

May the goddess have mercy on all our souls.

Bruce Springsteen’s protest songs still hit where it hurts Springsteen has repeatedly turned moments of violence and injustice into songs that demand moral reckoning.

apropos Bruce Springsteen's tour announcement, may I once again share my list of his 10 best original protest songs (before you ask me why Edwin Starr's "War" isn't here): www.salon.com/2026/02/10/b...

A private collection of 10,000 Chicago show tapes finds a public home - Chicago Reader The Internet Archive begins posting the Aadam Jacobs Collection. Plus: Four locals heat up the dead of winter with new music.

I strongly suggest, BTW, if you have any interest at all in all kinds of rock, jazz and other styles in terms of live recordings done in Chicago from the 80s until, well, now, you follow @ajcproject.mas.to.ap.brid.gy on here. Lots more shows being uploaded all the time. More here from last year:

No crypto in Canton: Town blocks data centers and crypto mining operations Canton’s makeshift town hall in a tiny trailer was bursting at the seams Wednesday night with citizens united against data centers and cryptocurrency mining.

For my money, the way thousands of regular people are self-organizing to resist data centers is one of the most cautiously hopeful stories going right now.
