I'll be DJ'ing this saturday at Great Georgiana in Brooklyn, starting around 10pm. No genres, just a strong beat.

Really sorry to hear that Tom Verlaine has died. We missed out on Television the first time around. But the around the turn of the century, our friend (Hi Bill!) loaned us his copy of Please Kill Me. Of the bands we got into after that, Television has been at the top of the list.

We saw them live at Summer Stage in 2007 and Chester wrote it up on his blog. Great show, great singer, great writer, great guitarist. R.I.P. #TomVerlaine #Television

This website provides the full back archive of BYTE magazine, all 23 years of it from 1975 to to 1998. It's a treasure trove of vintage tech and nostalgia, not even Archive.org carries all the issues.

The site actually focuses on old Apple magazines, but has also PC magazines and other resources on the history of microcomputing.

Happy birthday, Ludwig van Beethoven! Probably born on this day, 1770. #FensterFreitag #Beethoven #BeethovenhausBonn #ClassicalMusic #Composer

We love raptor season in Central Park! Nora spotted this Cooper's Hawk on the ground, stalking a squirrel near the Ramble bird feeders. It flew into a tree, only to be chased off by a Red-tailed Hawk moments later.

Then just as we were about to exit the park, this American Kestrel flew past us and perched on a nearby tree. The Kestrel tried to return to a more typical high perch, but it too got chased away, by some sassy Blue Jays. #birds #birdphotography #centralpark #nyc #raptors

One year ago today, the jazz world lost its beloved bebop maestro Barry Harris. In October 2019, Chester wrote about Barry during his annual week-long stint at the Village Vanguard, including what would turn out to be his last ever set there. #BarryHarris #bebop #jazz #jazzeducation

“A Scruffy Guitar Shop Survives the Chelsea Hotel’s Chic Makeover
After a costly renovation, a landmark of Manhattan that was once home to Patti Smith and Bob Dylan is drawing a different crowd. Dan Courtenay, the proprietor of Chelsea Guitars, is fine with that.”
