My old roommate had this poster hanging in our living room when the landlord was trying to sell and refused to take it down so it ended up in the listing pictures. Freddy got us at least a few extra months at the place.

At Paris Bar all night playing records if you’re looking for something to do in Detroit

I'm past trying to convince national Democrats of stuff, and posting on social media wouldn't do that anyway. But I really believe that there is an immense latent appetite in this country to BURY these fucking bullies, here and elsewhere, and that doing so is work many people want to be a part of.

It’s great, she knocked it out

My rep Mr. Thanedar is one of the most opportunistic hacks in all of congress but if even he can tell which way the wind is blowing everyone else has no excuse

fuck this freak, fuck these fascist, fuck everyone who supports this. kilmar deserves due process just like everyone else

Where and when is the Detroit talk? Will try to snake outta work if I can, if not come say what’s up at Peoples if you like old records, we’ll hook it up.

Who is this

This may be one of the worst moments in history to fetishize the law or the quality of being law-abiding.

Aside from being a terrible idea, it’s hard to imagine that this is actually true. There’s no quick or easy way to digitize 14,000 tapes, it’s far more likely that they just threw them in the trash or didn’t do anything at all.

Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar is one of those guys

Waterphone on bathroom floor, boom mic stand outside the bathroom recording

This is what music is all about

Back cover of Marielle V Jakobsons “Glass Canyons” lp

Missed this when it came out over a decade ago, really well done

This is going to get worse, not better. Never underestimate the American public’s thirst for performative cruelty towards The Other: defendants, foreigners, anyone they’ve been conditioned to see as less than human. We’re the country that made lynchings into picnics.

After repeatedly violating every single commitment under the ceasefire, Israel is now fully resuming the genocide of the already destroyed Gaza concentration camp.

The world is watching.

History will remember who stood on the sidelines of this unspeakable atrocity.

Mustang with “POLYAM” license plate

Which one of you is this

Finally found a copy of the best “Michigan Noise” 7 of the 80s (and ever?) that has the tracklist. I think about “Walk w Disc” almost every day

Flyer for “Moody Thursday” at Outer Limits featuring Shells, Tyler Hicks and Sam Hooker wsg food from Kelly Jean Caldwell

Most of my social media accounts are gone but I still feel the need to promo post into the void

Picture of “Rod Riguez” 45 “I’ll Slip Away”

Album cover of “Bahiana” by Dizzy Gillespie on Pablo featuring a close up of the man himself chewing on what’s left of a cigar

Been listening to this one a lot, Olinga really nails the intersection of “cool composition” with “the crew is just kickin it for a side” style

Center label of Deepchord & Mike Huckaby “the Detroit remixes” Cache 009. Yellow background w black print

Mike Huckaby’s All It Takes is maybe my favorite “dub techno” track, hits hardest driving around in the snow but sounds incred at home
