Internet Wormhole
Been distracting myself on the internet today looking up an assortment of chained-together topics on CNC milling then Python coding then C++ coding then multiplexers and demultiplexers then shift registering which finally lead me to BOOLEAN EQUATIONS.
And then my brain collapsed in on it’s own withered gray matter.

Manteca
(No Audio File Attached)
When I was younger, I heard my high school’s jazz band* play Dizzy Gillespie’s “Manteca,” an afro-cuban jazz song that he wrote in 1947. The song has a great hook, but is a showcase for an incredible percussion section, and usually has a great dual timbalis solo as well as a trumpet solo.
But those drums! Holy shit. The drums MAKE this song. If...
