@BodegaPop sailor's life is just so unbelievable

First heard some of this on @flashstrap 's show & finally found a copy a few months ago. First listen. When I worked at Tower Records in San Francisco 1987-89 we'd listen to Richard & Linda but weirdly not Fairport Convention. Weeping the many tears this thing is so beautiful

@nakedfoul @thejeffbartell haha wow i actually was shocked

.@thejeffbartell got it

“why aren’t you at The Hague?” is a great question, every other journalist should be asking Blinken the same thing

Blinken lied to Congress and allowed starvation to be used as a weapon of war. It's well documented. He supported war crimes and blatantly lied to Congress about it.

Tonight in the Explorers Room, live on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio: Truly thunderous dub, absolutely mystical Euro-jazz fusion & sublime South American avant-garde sounds. 7-10:00pm: wfmu.org/playlists/show…

@chefjoseandres straight to hell with you

When I first arrived to Washington DC in 1993, Senator Moynihan told me - “if you love America, America will always love you back.” Today, I’m humbled to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I know that immigrants are bridges…we build the longer tables that connect us all. And I believe we all share a responsibility to create an even better America, one where the American dream can by achieved by everyone…regardless of what you look like or where you come from. Chefs like me feed the few, but our destiny is to feed the many. To be an army of goodness where a plate of food becomes a plate of hope…a light in dark times. Together, we can change the world through the power of food. I owe this tremendous honor to so many people who have shown me the true meaning of empathy, of generosity, of putting yourself at the service of others. To my family, my friends, my partners…and to every cook and chef around the world who inspires me by feeding humanity every day and moving us forward…I say: gracias. Thank you!

Tonight in the Explorers Room, live on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio: a variety of cosmicomics in sound, three huge live psychedelic beasts, and our first dub set of the new year. Join me, 7-10:00: wfmu.org/playlists/show…

Tonight in the Explorers Room, live on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio, we'll have a look back at the year that was, and hear a track or two from each of the 40 voyages of 2024. 7-10:00pm: wfmu.org/playlists/show…

Tonight the Explorers Room RETURNS, live on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio: gorgeous Guinean sounds from the Syliphone label, some very grand & austere sundries, and a juicy rundown of some of my favorite dub selections played over the last year. 7-10:00pm: wfmu.org/playlists/show…

@ArtMusicFilm @nakedfoul @JChem28 @UnderflowRecs hmm spoken like someone who played Yellow at their wedding and from that moment on can never admit that it sucks

@nakedfoul @JChem28 @UnderflowRecs Yellow is a great song and “timeless” is very much not meaningless. For example: songs like Every Breath You Take (AND YELLOW) are still on the CHARTS 40 and 25 years after their releases, respectively. It’s very rare for songs to transcend time to that extent.

Who's got the worst four-album run? This one's pretty untouchable, for my money.

@doomsticksmusic wow man remembering this gave me charlie horse of the mind. a lifetime ago. a completely different civilization

Explorers Room kicks off RIGHT NOW, come along if you know what's good for ya
