If you’ve ever watched Space Ghost Coast to Coast on #CartoonNetwork then you know George Lowe. He voiced Space Ghost and the show was a key element in the development of CN’s late night block, #AdultSwim. He passed away on March 2nd. #animation #TV #RIP www.yahoo.com/entertain…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Descartes A Kant - Live on KEXP (2024). I get serious DEVO vibes from this band, but they’ve created their own sound, and I’m diggin' it. Definitely worth 45 minutes of your time. #music #rock #neopunk #DAK www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Various Artists - Bass Anthology: Vol. 1 (2021). I can’t find any info other than it’s from France, focuses on bass players, and is only on Apple Music so I made a playlist of what I could find. #music #bass #jazz #funk #soul #blues www.youtube.com/playlist

I recently came across a #YouTube channel called “merlin” where the creator summarizes stories and analyzes them, something like a Cliff’s Notes. Today’s episode is particularly chilling and, sadly, is even more salient now. We never learn. #books #society #humanity www.youtube.com/watch

You may have heard that #Apple announced the 11th generation base #iPad upgraded to an A16 processor and starting with 128GBs of storage, but is lacking #AppleIntelligence. Good, I say. I’m happy to have it on my Mac Mini, but don’t need it anywhere else. #tech appleinsider.com/articles/…

If anything at all makes sense in these insane times, it’s that Musk’s #DOGE is acting on the barrage of lies the #GOP and #MAGA have been slinging at the Federal government for years now. #Capitalism wants it to leave them alone so they can plunder at will. #uspol gizmodo.com/doge-prep…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Lari Basilio - Far More (2019). How many lawyers do you know who can shred like this, and with range like Eric Johnson and does an MJ cover!? Not many, I’m guessing. One complaint… the album is too short! #music #instrumental #rock www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Steely Dan - Two Against Nature Live @ Sony Studios NYC (2000). As was typical of the era the audio is phenomenal but the video is 4:3 and blurry. Doesn’t matter. Still fantastic. Thanks for everything, Walter! #music #jazzrock www.youtube.com/watch

I can’t agree with @kotaku.com about most on this list. #Disney #liveaction adaptations are mostly wretched & soulless, aside from #2 The Jungle Book and #1 Pete’s Dragon, both from 2016. Lilo & Stitch might get on my list, though. #film kotaku.com/disney-li…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simon Phillips - Protocol IV (2017). With Greg Howe on guitar, Ernest Tibbs on bass, and Dennis Hamm on keys. The first I’d heard of Simon was on Celtic Run, the sixth track. I’ve tucked in fully since. #music #jazz #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/watch

Just came across an animatic for the pilot of “Pretty Pretty Please I Don’t Want to be a Magical Girl” and I’m all in for it. The humor and trope flipping is sharp! #Indie #Animation has been growing strong over the past decade, and it’s glorious. @kianamai.bsky.social #YouTube www.youtube.com/watch

The wife recently discovered #Goose, an amazing new-ish #JamBand, and we’ve been digging into their epic shows. I’d read in #Wikipedia that they had a special guest drummer a couple years ago, and found it. Enjoy! #music #rock #muppets www.youtube.com/watch

Anyone who deals in retro gear knows #retrocomputing gets more difficult the further back you go in history. Hugh Jeffreys deals with one of the common issues with his iBook G3s dead batteries. Not a guide, per se, but helpful info for decision making. #tech #Apple www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simon Phillips - Protocol III (2015). The third album in the series, featuring the same crew from Protocol II. Narmada bangs right out of the gate, and I’m quite fond of Circle Seven. #music #jazzfusion #jazzrock www.youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simon Phillips - Protocol II (2013). The second album, featuring Andy Timmons (G), Steve Weingart (K), and Earnest Tibbs (B), would settle the #rock-oriented sound of Simon’s #JazzFusion into it’s ongoing format. #music www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simon Phillips - Protocol (1989). The first in a series of projects that would bring together a rotating group of talented musicians to make #rock oriented #jazzfusion. There are five albums… so far. #music www.youtube.com/watch

This makes me sad. Panos was the beating heart of #Microsoft PR when they were being really innovative. Then #Windows 11 with ads, projects dropped off the map, #Copilot, & other #enshittification. Now he’s hawking shit at #Amazon. Booo to all of it. #capitalism

Not surprising. #Microsoft makes tons of money from #advertising and #ManifestV3 helps facilitate that. Extensions like uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, and other ad and script blockers actively eliminate revenue streams for them. #tech #internet #capitalism tech.slashdot.org/story/25/…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Rush - Snakes & Arrows (2007). It’s Rush. What more is there to say about one of the greatest #rock bands of all time, a trio that sounded like a much larger band. Much love, Neil. #music #progrock #hardrock www.youtube.com/watch

Just watched #AdultSwim’s new #AdultAnimation series Common Side Effects created by Joseph Bennett and Steve Hely. It’s a departure from the norm as it is a conspiracy thriller and not a comedy. The #animation is also quite excellent. Watch the pilot here. #TV www.youtube.com/watch
