Hi there.

Also lol @ Obama being remotely "left"

- Continuation (or at least ambivalence to) the War on Drugs (though to be fair he did free a lot of nonviolent drug offenders)
- Broke the record on deportations
- Despite having a supermajority in Congress, passed a watered down version of a public option and mandated everyone to buy insurance in the private sector (originally an idea proposed by Nixon & the Heritage Foundation)
- Guantanamo still open
- Despite promises to leave the mid-east, still involved in 7 countries military over the course of his administration
- Bailed out the banks
- Blatantly cracked down on reporters and whistleblowers

He was significantly better than those who came before him. The ACA was a step in the right direction but he had the power to go so much further and didn't.

When you actually go by Bernie's policies, they're wildly popular among the citizens.

The DNC leadership is ofc bought and paid for (and Hillary is the epitome of that).

SFK is 100% right. Mikey, you're confusing socialism w/ authoritarianism/totalitarianism.

Hey all,

I think it's time for me to say goodbye to the website, at least for now. I've been inactive in submissions for ages now to begin with, and I just have too many other things in my life.

I'm beyond grateful for all the fun times and friendships this place has given me. You all are truly beautiful human beings <3

Thanks for the great ride, guys. If you want to talk to me for whatever reason, you can find me... basically everywhere but here.

Love you all <3 <3

The other reason it's probably a decent idea to keep it there is that classical players with not a lot of experience playing swing might appreciate having the subdivisions laid out for them. Not a bad move at all, either way works!

The only other thing I could think of is, *if* you're looking for a swing feel at letter G, to write it in eighths with a marking saying "swing" instead of triplet subdivision. Up to you ofc but to me it's a lot cleaner to look at.

Soooo this'll be like a thing for me to talk about jazz albums/songs I like. Come for the good music, stay for the.... analysis of the good music? Idk.

Anyways, starting with something fairly accessible, let's talk about Herbie Hancock :)

This is actually a Wayne Shorter song called "Witch Hunt", off of the album Speak No Evil.

Lots of really good playing here. It's Wayne and Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Ron Carter on bass, Elvin Jones on drums.

Awesome song, awesome solos, but probably the best thing is the drum fill into Wayne Shorter's solo. Holy hell Elvin Jones!
