I’m from Massachusetts and Sunburned blew my mind when I first became aware of them in high school around 2004. They are a collective of musicians that have performed improvised music together for the past 30 years. The bands line up is constantly changing and no two sets are the same. I was super excited to see that the blog Aquarium Drunkard took on the task of documenting the band and I’ve been chipping away at the 7 part podcast. It’s great

There was a time when media, social or otherwise, just focused on a few people. Usually going through the things humans go through. But it was amplified. Fewer avenues and fewer stars.
Where were was once dozens of famous people, there were hundreds, thousands, and now millions/billions(?). Everyone looking for their 2 minutes of fame. Where there was once 15.
And a lot of it's infamy but we take views, clicks, likes, hearts as doing the thing.
Even this post tings of a lil' hypocrisy. Early twitter, like 16 years ago - until 2012, I was pretty famous on the app with an account that'd say pretty disrespectful and gnarly things about celebrities. It was when the death hoax joke was a fad and when I saw an obvious one I'd lambast the celeb hoaxed and get my likes and laughs. Even sold a few of the jokes to some known trash comics (Gilbert Gottfried sent me 100 check that I never cashed cuz his handwriting (or so I believe) was on it. Lost it tho anyway.
Until 2012 when Whitney Houston passed. I was first to crack something mean - and boy I found out what the sole of my foot and the soul in my heart tasted like when she really passed.
I stopped. I apologized and just left social media in a broad sense.
Managed accounts for awhile after but too many clients wanted the flame bait and many of them would lie to tie in scams in their 'deals' and I just couldn't stomach it.
So in a nutshell I wanted to post this song and make a quip. Now I've wrote a novel. Sorry PI
I fucking love it here tho'.
