Jungle Man, the first track off of Canadian jazz flautist Moe Koffman’s LP of the same name. Still one of my very favourites to this very day

it's been 84 years and i'm still mad about the time i invited a friend to see a performance of works by sibelius with me, and after the show they said the music was kind of boring 🫠

i'm. i'm so sorry mister sibelius that my former friend had NO TASTE and I WASTED TICKET MONEY ON THEM 😠

He opened the door and walked into the morning. Soon Toad was at Frog's front door. He took the list from his pocket and crossed out: Go to Frog's House.

do you ever feel like you want to make stuff but you're just Not Allowed to somehow?

like, sure, you could try to apply to that opportunity/produce that thing/publish that book, but doing that isn't For You

is there a word for that? i don't know if i'm explaining it correctly, but it sucks butt :)

real talk. i haven't been on facebook in years at this point (last time i tried to log in it just wouldn't let me reset my password by any means and i gave up) and insta's algo means even if i DO see a post about a local event, it's several weeks too late for me to either participate or attend. yay

The correct answer to this is "Yes, and everyone else too."
Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland?
Could the government pay salaries to musicians and artists - no strings attached like they do in Ireland?

Look, it is internet engagement 101 to include deliberate mistakes or oddities in adverts. The one sure way to get the people you don't normally reach to see your asvert is to get them to share it for you.
