Favoriting The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from February 9, 2025 Favoriting

DJ Peter's avatar View DJ Peter's profile Favoriting

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

I over-mixed the pancake batter this morning. The pancakes were a little rubbery. Batter is a deep metaphor. Fascism seeks to homogenize society. In eliminating the lumps, it beats out all the tenderness.

Good question, Peter. I'm not so sure. I think I need to bow out of the profession. I am wearying of America and its demands. Not Trump, mind you. I don't care about him, but then I haven't cared about any POTUS. I maintain that George Washington was horrible. Trump might be more or less so.

I weary of America because America is and has been a tedious mess for so many years.
