#NowPlaying - a ground zero for so much, but why so many cowrites for kevin ayers & so few lead vocals? is it like the neil-young's-voice-was-too-weird-for-the-springfield thing or just cuz ayers was the new guy? and how many steps between "we did it again" & oneida's "sheets of easter"? @Corry342 @vinylrecords #canterbury #prog

I may have just ordered another #GratefulDead record on #vinyl. I hope this isn’t becoming an obsession…

#NowPlaying - decent audience-recorded #bootleg of the flo & eddie era mothers' hometown debut at santa monica civic, august 1970, misdated as el monte '71. totally dig kaylan/volman as front-mothers, increasingly less into the mud shark skit sequence, here in early draft, a premonition of my least favorite #zappa. stunning & fun kornyfone art. @vinylrecords

Ahh... to be 18 yo, freshman in college, a local show, small venue, on Good Friday, four-twenty (though I didn't partake!), a beautiful spring evening, second row seats, my sixth show, my first Morning Dew. One of my favorite shows attended and immortalized as Dave's Picks 35. On this day 40 years ago...

40 years ago today... hard to believe... The Grateful Dead open a three night stand at the Philadelphia Civic Center. Photos are my own.

Hey I just got laid off, anyone got a job? Sadly I'm just a manager recently but I'm superb at it. Glad to work outside of tech. Whee

Edit: and software designer. I kick ass at that. But mostly I translate and coordinate between different specialties to make a coherent team, turn goals into plans and then run those plans. Done a lot of hiring and professional development work too. Great at weeding out the bozos and assholes. Oversight and compliance of every kind. Would love to work for a cause

Anyone with graphic design skill and time want to partner in a merch concept? Imagine t shirts (or hoodies, hats, etc) with images of major jam-adjacent concert venues (Hampton, MSG, MPP, Deer Creek, the Gorge, etc). They would have the original names and be done in the style of vintage concert art, including font. Why has nobody done this yet? I’ll take 5% for the idea.

Since a lot of folks don't really dig into profiles and pinned posts, and anonymous accounts understandably are viewed with suspicion by some, now and then I like to remind the TL that this account is just pseudonymous and I'm a real human named Tyler in Portland Oregon. The MrC persona is one I've had across several platforms for 15 years and keeping it is a matter of being easy to find. Plus it's a distinctly non work oriented & less political subpersonality. I'm not here to talk shop much.

A little over a quarter century ago, I was at a low point in my life. Unemployed, bad breakup, living in a run down apartment in a city I didn't like, and feeling very depressed.

With insomnia, alone on a futon, at some ungodly hour of the morning, a small clock radio provided one of my few comforts.

That night a song came on the radio that I have never forgotten. It was free jazz, avant garde, punk and brimming with energy. (1/x)

1/ After having tested it for some time, phanpy.social ( @phanpy ) is now my one and only #Mastodon client. The interface is sleek, and you can tell there's clear intentionality behind every single design choice.

First, look at how gorgeous nested replies look! I no longer struggle trying to decipher who's replying to what. And when you reach too many nested levels, a button gives you the choice to deploy them or not, to keep things clean.

The Grateful Dead had better songs, but the consistency of the Phish lineup, and the resulting chemistry, (plus Jon Fishman) makes Phish the better “band”.

This is also why Phish cover bands will never be as successful as Grateful Dead cover bands.

#nowplaying Chuck Mangione “Children of Sanchez”

Another from the parental stash. I’m very familiar with “Feels So Good,” which was played a lot when I grew up. This one I don’t really remember, but I’m digging the Latin jazz vibes.

slevelt, 3 months ago to vinylrecords

so the problem with @vinylrecords condition codes, where “good” means definitely NOT good:

on Vinted, there are sellers who know this, and sellers who do not. so I just ordered a record that’s described as “good” and I’ll only know in a couple of days whether that means unlistenable, or fine 😅

Some nice light movement on Mt. Hood today from the ol' Fox Tower downtown (first shot at lunch, second at 4pm) #Portland #pdx #YouCanFeelGood

Now the light is brighter and hits the full west face of the mountain. The clouds have opened up some overall but still cling to the peak. In both shots, inner east Portland is visible near the camera, with Mt Tabor and the eastern foothills in the middle distance

We’re in such a good period right now for reasonably priced HQ #jazz reissues. The #craftrecordings #ojc reissues are really well done. I used to be pretty snobbish about reissues but I can’t deny how good these sound. #jazzrecords #nowplaying #billevans @vinylrecords

A snowy morning and listening to The Jesus and Marie Chain’s 1987 LP Darklands. It’s peak scuzz yet restrained guitars and big 80’s drums, and melodic I-IV-I progressions that are so satisfying. Somehow this album makes me have a big smile every time I listen. #vinyl @vinylrecords

LP album cover: red text on black background above and below a blurry main photo featuring two indistinct figures in silhouette with blue backdrop, possibly a stage, with other bits of blurred orange, white and black.

#NowPlaying - #bootleg of kevin ayers's 1970-1972 #bbc sessions, including a few tunes backed by the soft machine. great #prog / #canterbury fun with assertive weirdo hooks, if sometimes (like camelot) a bit silly. his voice shares something direct/plaintive with his soft machine bandmate robert wyatt that resonates with me deeply. @vinylrecords
