— most welcomed.

that is either a big rabbit hole, or a big Thursday :)

if you could use a guide, this playlist runs the gamut of their sways (except for their just released album):

open.spotify.com/playlist/4fd...

— fusion is a minefield for me, but Weather Report is good and because of the whole interest in Post Rock (or wattevs).

in case you are not familiar, similar to what Tortoise has done for a long time, such as:

— I thought one could follow hashtags. dang, I will have to remember, or through your posts.

if I use the hashtag, I may wreck it.

— I'm-terse even!

I am, indeed, increasing my jazz next year... and it will be side by side with Doom /Black /Sludge /GiveUpAllTheInsaneLabels Metal of all things.

Weather Report has been on my (ahem) Radar and sampled them this year, finally.

— I gave out decoder rings to the first 17 followers. it didn’t work as they turned out to be encoder rings. this my failings at social media.

overwhelming genre, and one for me to avoid figuring out.

(Spain is good… it will take time to recover.)

— given the (lauded and merited) reputation of the Blue Note's Tone Poet series of reissues, I latch onto the description and go from there: still overwhelming.

as I know nothing of music (technically), Jazz and Classical are a bit vexing, but for knowing when I hear it. virtuosity is irrelevant.

— Chet Baker is my fave Jazz artist, and now digging into Bill Evans.

I didn’t know of this. (not a big deal, still woefully ignorant about Jazz.)

— against my better judgment, I went to the thread.
(please stop forcing me to click on these kinds of replies. thx ok bi)

I think that “resources” is a cop out for imperialism and strategic gains, and some nice Cognitive Dissonance yummy sauce.

also, would slaves count as resources?

— it is great. it is too bad that I am out of time to check on other postings of new groups among "the gang", and also to post music challenges.

but still manage some little time here and there...

— maybe the best pickup from the posts on this one site.
loving their 3 albums, which just arrived about a month ago.

thank you for that.

well, also Heartworms is a close 2nd ;)

— totally unrelated:

did a update, never an upgrade, for Comic Sans was released?

ohman. thanks. tomorrow will be a SHJ + an overdue deep dive into reliving d’n’b.

I knew of SHJ back in the day, but only got their 2nd album (thanks to remixes referrals at the time).
