This looks interesting
I strongly suggest, BTW, if you have any interest at all in all kinds of rock, jazz and other styles in terms of live recordings done in Chicago from the 80s until, well, now, you follow @ajcproject.mas.to.ap.brid.gy on here. Lots more shows being uploaded all the time. More here from last year:

Experimenting today. Feeling like going back to the dark side of my art to correspond with the dark times ahead. Photo printed on natural/tan letterhead, waxed, and dry silver powder pigment.

Scrolling through older photos and this reminded me of how I never print in the darkroom anymore. Defender 55-D is probably my favorite black and white paper developer. You need to mix it from scratch since it’s no longer made these days. Lovely tones and a slight warmth to it.

I was looking for something on an old hard drive and found this low rez scan of cassette art for an experimental music project I did with a friend in Milwaukee probably around 1993. Dark weird embarrassingly bad music that will probably never see the light of day. 😂

I wish I still had a minidisc player so I could get these files on my computer. Old solo music of mine plus my “band” Xerst. No idea what is on these, could well be crap! 😂

Why do so many have zero critical thinking skills? People (some who should know better) keep circulating an AI image of Alex Pretti with a gun to his head. LOOK at the image! Plenty of signs it’s AI, guy with an AR that has no barrel, and best of all agent with NO HEAD! Fucking hell folks wake up

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Amazing to see Minnesotans standing together like this.
Ben Damberg protest volunteer: “None of us want to be doing this — I don’t, but we simply cannot stand by as other Minnesotans are being hurt — we will march, we will protest, & we will do it all peacefully above all else”
