Getting very little traction/interaction on Mastodon despite bridging to Bluesky, is it time to cave and go ahead with a proper Bluesky account? Will still stay bridged to the Fediverse #bluesky #mastodon #fediverse #bridgyfed

In this “unfinished outtake” we hear both Byrne and Brian Eno singing different kinds of gibberish together… great song, too bad it didn’t get to a final version! But feel free to sing along with it anyway… #SongThatCameUpOnMyShuffleToday #music #davidbyrne #brianeno #talkingheads https://youtu.be/Mg-M0_-XyhM?si=es30AGryNo8a-HC3

I was told it’s a carpincho, or #capybara in English. Today of course it seems they’ve gone fully viral. Here’s an amusing Gary Schteyngart article about them in the latest New Yorker: How the Capybara Won My Heart—and Almost Everyone Else’s https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/02/03/how-the-capybara-won-my-heart-and-almost-everyone-elses

Take a listen to this interview that Jacki Lyden did in 2009 that I had the pleasure of producing in which he collaborates with banjo great Bela Fleck and the outstanding bassist and composer Edgar Meyer. Hussain gives a vivid description of how rhythm can also be melody at the top of the piece, then later recalls how his tabla playing father released a record with iconic drummer Buddy Rich. #zakirhussain https://www.npr.org/2009/10/02/113441094/fleck-meyer-hussain-border-crossing
