If you're involved in electronic music-making and you're not white, please DM me on here.
I've just been watching loads of #SuperBooth footage and was aghast at how overwhelmingly white the whole thing is. I've seen more diversity at EDL marches.
So, I'm gonna try and do something about it. And the first thing is organising.
There are tons of used Roach records in the bins here in Seattle this week. I think someone has dumped a big collection.
He is a master. Met him when I was in high school (like 1981 or 1982). He did a workshop with our jazz band and I was one of the 3 drummers. Great musical mind.
Some more #RobinTrower - not as well known as Bridge of Sighs but still amazing. I can’t beleive I hadn’t heard of this guy before sometime in the last year…I have a lot of stuff to catch up on. Pretty sure I got this record from a dollar bin, and it’s in great shape. A good vacuum cleaning helped for sure.
If you got upset at me for pointing out that more people died of Covid under Biden than Trump, in large part because Biden rolled back common sense restrictions that were in place under Trump...
Then you'll hate me pointing out that Trump introduced a 25% tariff on Chinese EVs, and Biden is upping that to 100% tariff.
This is part of the tragedy of the endless campaign that we have now in the US. Criticism of the current president isn’t an endorsement of the opposition in a campaign for an election. It is criticism of the current president - a reaction to policy. The campaign shouldn’t even come up at this point in the year.
The US media’s obsession with covering government like a sport rather than informing citizens about policies and their consequences has paralyzed the political discourse.
