#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Counting Crows - Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets! (2025). Yes, a new Crows album. It’s been a while. I wasn’t much of a Crows listener, so I don’t have a lot to say, but its mostly good so far. #music #rock youtube.com/playlist

Remember when we found out that pretty much everything being claimed by #Conservatives was a lie designed to rip #humanrights and #civilrights away from protected groups and decided that was stupid so stopped believing them? Yeah, me neither. #EndFascism #uspol #lawfare www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying #Live @ Nothing Manor: Steely Dan - Live at London’s Hammersmith Apollo (2009). Dan Belcher is an appropriately named Dan Fan. He personally remasters old Dan shows out of love. This is a newly released soundboard recording. #music #steelydan www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Irakere - Live at Ronnie Scotts (1993). The wife just turned me on to these astonishing peeps. Formed in ‘75 the band blends #AfroCubanJazz and other regional musical traditions with #rock & #funk and clearly jam. #music #jazz #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Thomas Dolby - The Golden Age of Wireless (1982). Hot take here, but I think Dolby was peak electronica of the #NewWave era. Still great music to this day. #music #80s #KROQ #electronicmusic #synth youtube.com/playlist

In Merlin’s latest video he discusses Harlan Ellison’s short story “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream” which, at it’s core, is about the ultimate worst and most selfless aspects of humanity. It’s worth a watch. #writing #scifi #books www.youtube.com/watch

We have a strong, clear, empathetic voice in Neil deGrasse Tyson, and we risk losing him if #America continues down the path being carved into our #government by #ElonMusk & #DOGE and supported by #TFG. The cuts being made are saving squat. #science #uspol #NASA www.youtube.com/watch

I’m a native #Angeleno. Born in #LosAngeles in the late 60’s, I have lived in #SoCal most of my life. While I’ve known most of the tidbits revealed in this video, I learned more from this fascinating #minidoc. Take a few minutes to learn what’s beneath LA. #history youtu.be/3EfeEUtoq…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues (1983). This disc was on my turntable more than most after it dropped. Many artists of the time sounded like the 80’s. The Heads did not and still sound fresh. #music #80s #KROQ www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Squeeze - Babylon and On (1987). Their 8th studio album was also their break into the US market with top 40 hits Hourglass and 853-5937, but the band started in the UK in the 70’s with infectious #pop grooves. #music #80s #KROQ #NewWave youtube.com/playlist
