This link pointing to @anildash 's (fantastic) piece from yesterday made me think for a second that people were taking up arms against a zombified Anil. Punctuation matters!

Huh - today @pluralistic is talking about the Fu-Schnickens! https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/17/holy-batfu-its-an-apple/#ba-schnicker-bah-snchnucker

Chip-Fu has remained active and has put out some pretty banging tracks over the last decade. https://www.youtube.com/@chip-fu2645

This week, I've been listening to the complete Wattstax '72 recordings that were recently released. It's an amazing collection of live soul, funk, and blues in remembrance of the Watts Riots seven years before. Tons of familiar samples keep popping up.

What's most fascinating is that they include all the audio of people telling the audience to get off of the football field and back into the stands, like this full *20 minutes* of Billy Eckstine literally moving the crowd: https://songwhip.com/billy-eckstine/there-is-a-curfew-here-live-at-wattstax-1972
