DAVID BYRNE WITH GHOST TRAIN ORCHESTRA
Who Is The Sky?
2025 Worldwide pressing
Apple Green vinyl
This was my album of the year for 2025.
Few NEW albums have given me as much listening pleasure as Who Is The Sky?
At their heart, these songs are quite simple. Incredibly bright, playful, and brimming with personality. The MVP award here goes to producer Kid Harpoon and NYC’s incredible Ghost Train Orchestra. Their work really brought these great songs to life.
There are two gems here in particular that I could listen to forever: "I Met the Buddha at a Downtown Party" (which is wickedly funny), and “The Avant Garde”, which may be one of my favorite Byrne songs EVER.
The album clocks in at a very tight and compact 37 minutes. As soon as it’s over, I just want to start it over again.
GREAT album, and one of Byrne’s best solo efforts.
Absolutely love it.

I'm sick today, which feels inevitable in #NYC this time of year. But also after years of COVID it's hard not to feel like every other illness isn't a waste of time.

Filming Cops For Scared People
When you are filming police try not to talk to them. Avoid:
"Is it OK if I film?" (That isn't up to them.)
"Sorry officer." (You have done nothing wrong don't apologize.)
Try things like.
"I am filming from a safe distance."
If they start yelling at you focus on:
"Am I free to leave?"
Every time I've said this the officer has responded with "shut up" (ok??)
I'm happy to comply with *that* one and keep filming from a safe distance.

POINT OF INFORMATION
so, am one of the first people to do live reporting with mobile tech & Identica (one of the precursors to the #fediverse) in USA. i did citizen journalism before it was cool. so as @D_J_Nathanson likes to remind us:
NEVER TALK TO COPS
https://esq.social/@D_J_Nathanson/115947037260513125
you do not have to explain what you are doing.
go look up any documentary on Weegee the famous #nyc crime scene photographer. he used to get to them BEFORE the cops.
your life, and our free press, depends on it.

POINT OF INFORMATION: never talk to cops. especially as a citizen journalist.
set yourself at a safe distance and just film.
people who want to do this regularly, may want to set themselves up with a backpack on their chest to house their phone set up on a selfie stick.
if you are a cyclist, a GoPro on your helmet AND on your bike are good alternatives.
in #nyc in particular, it is best to have your hands free.
i should revive my old dos & donts list for indie journos.

Hey New Yorkers and beyond!
I just discovered https://fedidevs.com/starter-packs/ and thought it'd be nice to make a masto.nyc starter pack. What accounts would you like to see on there? Who are your local favorites?
