"the politicians...are now DJs" a 1983 lyric that feels more accurate now. Re-Flex released "The Politics of Dancing" to chart success, then largely disappeared a few years later. Their sound was very of the time, but the song is still catchy as hell. #80s #newwave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLzDFbGdL5M

Steve Lukather (Toto, Michael Jackson), Michael Landau (Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis), Tim Lefebvre (Bowie, Knower), Jeff Babko (Jimmy Kimmel, Frank Ocean)
Keith Carlock (Steely Dan, Sting)...just jamming on a session of random tunes under the name "Boone's Farm" for fun in a small club. It's rough around the edges (I don't think this is a soundboard rec) but there are some fun bits in this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsTd4wGnKw4

#StanleyClarke (Return to Forever) and #StewartCopeland (The Police) are such an utterly strange rhythm section, but damn do they rework tunes into fun places, in this case Stanley's jazz fusion classic "School Days" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQdxhtTovJg

Covers I never knew existed, K.D. Lang doing #KingCrimson's "Matte Kudasai" which is probably one of the very few tunes in their massive catalog that could remotely be retrofit into Lang's style, but damn, it's just a beautiful take: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLqwmOgG5c8

I saw the #Cloudflare EmDash release, and it looks cool, but it's not a #Wordpress killer...

Without a compelling case for migrating (I get the premise of plugin sandboxing is cool, but the fine print is that EmDash depends on Dynamic Workers to run secure sandboxed plugins, which are currently only available on paid accounts), going to a clone of WP on what seems to be just a way to try to drive paid CF accounts won't sweep a majority of WP sites any time soon.

Replying to @rorystarr@mstdn.social
@rorystarr@mstdn.social for years I had gotten used to the hype cycle. Even though I haven't ever particularly been fond of it. I didn't mind a little bit of exaggeration, but fabulism was never my thing. Now the entire process is so divorced from anything in reality, it almost negates the concept of satire.

"CEO said a thing!" #journalism involves parroting the claims of a business leader or executive with absolutely no context, correction, or challenge whatsoever, no matter how elaborate the delusion."

This contributes significantly to the unhealthy hype cycle we're vertigo-ing in.

The idea of Robert Glasper, Meshell Ndegeocello, Chris "Daddy" Dave and Pino Palladino just jamming around an 80s Ready For The World slow-jam, kind of works for me.

@garrett@mastodon.xyz it's incredibly accurate. The fact that some of the biggest players continue to do things like fork off their own versions of projects is a testament to how good some Foss software is, and how stupid they are in terms of investment in things they don't directly control.
