Resavoir - s/t LP - light and joyous jazz fusion from Chicago (and Bandcamp’s Album of the Day)

Riding the ripples of their debut single “Escalator” (which BBC’s Gilles Peterson called “a winner,” and Supreme Standards’ Tina Edwards likened to “Radiohead on a Jazz trip”), Chicago collective Resavoir return with their first full length effort. The self-titled album presents a juicy suite of elegantly-orchestrated lo-fi jazz instrumentals germinated from home recording experiments by the group’s producer/arranger Will Miller. Applying a compositional approach attributable to his experience producing hip-hop beats as much as his studies at Oberlin Conservatory, Miller built melodic sketches on foundations of samples & loops before bringing pieces to the group for collective development. After integrating recordings of the full band into his home-produced impressions (not unlike IARC predecessors Jeff Parker and Makaya McCraven), he over-dubbed another dozen friends into the mix (including Brandee Younger, Sen Morimoto, Carter Lang, Knox Fortune and Macie Stewart) before finalizing the arrangements. In Miller’s modest editing room, Resavoir grew from experiment into epic opus recalling the lush, psychedelic soul jazz orchestrations of David Axelrod & Charles Stepney… but in the sampled-laden style of Yesterday’s New Quintet, Broadcast, or Thundercat, with a lyrical affinity for minimalism & texturalism, like trumpeter/composers Jon Hassell & Justin Walter.

Written, Arranged, and Produced by Will Miller. featuring (in order of appearance): Akenya Seymour – voice, piano, wurlitzer, sampler, Will Miller – sampler, trumpets, synth, piano, wurlitzer, B3 organ Macie Stewart – violins Lane Beckstrom – bass Colin Croom – synth J.P.

shoutout to @burlveneer-music for sharing this a few years ago, because it’s been one of my absolute favorite albums of the past few years. really glorious stuff, with melodies that really linger in your subconscious, beckoning for freedom. good soundtrack for driving with all the windows open. can hardly wait for a follow-up release.

Add to this list Sinema and Manchin. These are the 5 traitors in the Democratic Party, owned by the “elites”. Not one serve their constituents. They serve corporate America only.

Fourth in a series I of comics about protesting safety tips I made with @this.is.ysabel . This one is about the dangers of police surveillance and how to avoid it if possible. Keep being safe when you go out. Don’t get snatched!

A bunch of Google Drive links are about to be broken

Lots of publically accessible Google Drive links are going to be broken and inaccessible in the near future, read why here.

A lot of publicly accessible Google Drive links will no longer be accessible later this year unless their owners opt out of new security enhancements. These enhancements are being brought to Google Drive on September 23rd, 2021, the company announced in a blog post today.

Once this change goes live, Google says that users will need a “resource key” to access a publicly shared link. However, users won’t need an updated link with said resource key appended if they’ve already accessed that file before in the past. As a result of this change, we can imagine that lots of Google Drive links shared online on forums and other sites will no longer work as their owners neglect to update them, leaving them only accessible to the people that have already clicked the links before. This comes after Google also announced similar changes to YouTube’s unlisted videos earlier today.

According to the post made on the Google Workspace blog, this won’t affect all files. Users who have shared a file that is affected by this change will get an email from Google informing them of this change and how to opt out of needing those files from being updated. These emails will be sent out to users starting on July 26th. Google shared a copy of a sample email to show end-users what the message they’ll get will look like. The company doesn’t recommend opting out all files and says that only the files that you want publicly accessible should be opted out. Users have until September 13th to decide if they want the update applied, so if you have no files that are publicly accessible, then you won’t need to do anything.

Please signal boost this. I have seen so many posts in just the last year with links to google drives filled with info on BLM, community resources, anti-bigotry education, Anarchism, activism, community organization, all KINDS of things - potentially losing access to those resources is IMPORTANT

hi folks.

GOOD NEWS

i may not post on here very often, but i just wanted to let everyone know that i changed the font on my page and it looks WAYYYY more legible now. if you want to discover some new sounds, zone out to some aesthetically-pleasing psychedelic art, or hear some of my socio-political commentary/rants, i recommend using the archive format for browsing through my past posts. scroll back to a few years ago pre-censorship/bullshit commercial ads integrated everywhere, when i was posting much more often, if you’re inclined. hope you’ve all been doing alright with the pandemic and quarantines and everything and have >>VOTED<< if you’re a fellow american dealing with agent orange.
