For the record, I did not, as a child, run screaming out of the living room every time the Pegasus came for me. Don’t trust my mom. I’m a big, strong boy and always have been.

BIG BLACK is little known today but was essential to the history of hand drumming in jazz. I spoke about him with another hand drummer - Adam Rudolph. Hear ➡️ wfmu.org/playlists/sh...

Big Black :: Two Moonlins And Mother aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/07/30/b... Before Pharoah Sanders, before Blazing Saddles, before Muhammad Ali’s training camp, there was “Two Moonlins And Mother.” Big Black’s boogaloo gem distills a lifetime of rhythm into 3 minutes of humid, percussive heat.

Aquarium Drunkard :: Year In Review 2025 aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/12/08/a... Looking back to look ahead. Our list arrives in the spirit of sharing, and we’re back with our annual Year In Review. As always the following is unranked and unruly. Let it blurb.

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy

Ram On LA: A Los Angeles Music Sampler (2009 Redux) aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/10/31/r... Originally released in 2009, the AD-curated Ram On LA compilation brought together a dozen Los Angeles artists paying homage to Paul & Linda McCartney’s 1971 masterpiece Ram. Re-upped!

I feel Whitney K's music is on par with the best stuff going on right now, and their latest, "Bubble" is their best yet. Interviewed Konner about the band and his process for @aquariumdrunkard.com and really appreciate how he opened up about it.

America now

Anyway, if you're gonna write or opinion on Trump's comments about Roger Clemens, and you center it solely on the Hall of Fame and steroids, you are committing journalistic malpractice. If you need a refresher, start here. pitcherlist.com/bbwaa-is-era...

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

Good things are happening in North East Los Angeles

There needs to be a congressional investigation into ICE and its practices. The agency needs to be completely dissolved and its agents and officers need to be prosecuted for any and all crimes committed.

The second annual Dog Days of @aquariumdrunkard.com is out, our compendium of the vibes of summer 2025. Here's what's been on our minds and turntables.

Best news for independent live music in L.A. a long, long time. Really stoked on this.

With yesterday's disheartening Colbert news and today's deeply cruel gutting of our beloved PBS & NPR, maybe consider killing your Paramount+ subscription in favor of PBS Passport? www.pbs.org/passport/lea...

My eleventh mixtape is up @aquariumdrunkard.com today. Two hours of spaced-out vintage dub for all your summer idylls. You need to get with this.

ai art is the modern aesthetic of fascism

the DOJ is literally **arresting Democratic members of Congress** and Senate Democrats are voting to pass Republican legislation

The rule of law lives or dies on our willingness to act—occasionally with grim resolve. It’s time for people who value justice to screw their courage to the sticking place.

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Here's the great jazz pianist Keith Jarrett—who turned 80 last week—performing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in 1984. This video has a musical transcription on screen if you want to try to follow along with his insanely creative reharmonizations. See you around.

The USA can only have 3 or 4 jets, it doesn’t need 30 jets.

Clay Jackson's story is picking up momentum. Jackson is the Texas attorney who was visited by two law enforcement officers at his home after giving some legal advices to an undocumented family. He was fired from his job with FNF after talking to me about the incident. Here's Judd Legum:

Rough way for Paul to find out I chose to go with Sadie, but thems the breaks.

Some EXCELLENT stickers on here, if I do say so myself

Everyone laughed when Tomas Estes first preached about tequila having terroir in the 70s, just as much as a French wine. Today, the premium "single estate" tequila this Whittier kid co-founded is one of the best-selling and smoothest in the world. lataco.com/ocho-tequila...

This is a real, actual festival that I was main stage front row center for both days of

If you’re in LA tonight, I require you to be at the Troubadour for @taperschoice.bsky.social. The best band in a legendary venue. www.seetickets.us/event/tapers...

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

Such a wild and circuitous way to discover that the guy I sometimes chat with because he has two standard poodles that enjoy "saying hi" to my standard poodle . . . is the bassist of Weezer.

over @aquariumdrunkard.com I share that classic blend of ... Big Bad fused with classical Indian music, made by a former child prodigy turned Birdland band member who lived with Timothy Leary and Ram Rass at Millbrook. It's "Chala Nata" by Maynard Ferguson. aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/04/10/m...

We joined an array of music creator groups & allies in calling for changes to the TICKET Act ahead of an expected markup. The current text just isn't good enough to protect fans and artists.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

I filmed several of the @aquariumdrunkard.com sessions 2008-20011. I had two mini-DV cameras, no lighting, no second camera operator. The sessions were released audio-only. I recently found the Local Natives tapes. If anyone has the original audio, I'll fix the original post and add what I can!

I just realized that the speech bubbles on "Wowee Zowee" are inspired by Mike Heron's "Smiling Men With Bad Reputations," which predates Kanguru's "Guru Guru" by a year & looks similar Are there other examples of this style? - specifically, not just speech bubbles like on the Mother's "Freak Out"
