BIG BABY BUDI

i only remember i made a twitter when promoters ask for my handle ~ less social mediation has made me more calm but tell me should i post about music work i do here ? LOL as if i'm jumping on the bandwagoon of shady self promotion at endtimes cant imagine the point

@ddoorroo accurate

If there’s any Canadian publications that would be interested in taking a pitch in how anti-racism and “decolonization“ is falling short in Canadian new music and classical music spaces hit me up.

honest q: how do u even live without jammin' CHIC daily

@waxyleaf this is an amazing twit

@ddoorroo doro let make couple foto for next year and the years to come

@neondijonbicon this is funny af

@ShaunRas31 this is actually one of the most terrifying aspects of the stones (as someone who devoured their catalogue) like, they truly KNEW that their heroes and teachers were subject to jim crow while only they concurrently extracted wealth from the american classical music tradition

wondering now since timberlake finally apologized to Janet Jackson after 20 years if that means it's time for mick jagger to finally apologize to Tina Turner

@djmausner this is magic

@melodymckiver wtf is zoom doin like i need to know

A Zoom call cranks the RPM on my recent, maxed-out MacBook Pro from 2500RPM to 4500RPM, with coworkers complaining about the screaming noise. I'm regularly exporting and editing videos in Logic/Final Cut and a frigging Zoom call about the staff calendar pushes my machine harder?

@melodymckiver listen..... dilla day 2022

small semi-viable lifetime bucket lists is playing drums in a Dilla Day live band

@melodymckiver like just let me delete this

I can't emphasize how much I hate that all of my DAWs now default to "Zoom Audio Device" even when my interface is plugged in.

@melodymckiver THIIIIIIIIIIS !!!!!!!!!!! roy haynes keeping power in the ground omfg

Protect Roy Haynes at all costs!!! Really crushed about Chick Corea. Got to see his trio once in 2006 with Steve Gadd and Airto Moreira.

Now he sings, now he sobs.

@melodymckiver @skin0tone ok this is BEYOND interesting to me cuz i went to a talk david dacks did on music gallery in TO and he delineated clearly how music gallery is built of the work of AACM ~ what happened in the last 50 years?!

@skin0tone And so much of 'creative music' in Canada is directly drawing on the work of Black innovation while not naming that extractive dynamic.

@skin0tone @melodymckiver TF!!!!!!!!!!!!! AS IF THE SOUTH AFRICAN JAZZ ISN'T EXPLICITLY AN AFRONT TO APARTHEID NATIONALISM ?!?!?!?!?!?

@neondijonbicon like i dont wanna say it makes NO SENSE but it really doesnt - they dint even spell it the spanish way like dorado like road to el dorado fuk i think honestly that its like yo this dude is brone i bet i cant pronounce his whole thing

the number of times i been quoted for some racebait shit written by a white man >>>>>>> the number of mentions my teachers, the traditions i work within, any music i laboured over

@nikostratis omfg im not a torontonian but classic vintage audio n props fixed me up good n cheap also most beautiful shop tech; 1623 Queen St W

pals in Toronto: I have a vintage stereo receiver I need to get repaired. Who amongst you does that and can I pay you to do it? Simple fix, just a stereo output channel that needs fixing, I just don't have the time and energy to do it myself. Hit me up, mama needs her stereo

Show me a single Canadian classical/new music organization hiring and paying a single Black musician/composer to do anything, even during Black History Month.

@melodymckiver this. absolutely. hurts. to. read.

Weary veteran of always being the only Indigenous person invited to "diversity in music" panels, and always the only person to ask why we can't even name anti-Black racism as a thing that exists in music.

@local_wench dustinika?

Assisted my roommate with selling her closet and flash forward six months from then and everything I now wear was once owned by her
