    Hot Butter, “Popcorn” (1972)

    Throw-away pop ditty or electronic music pioneer? I say, why not both?

    This tune had several iterations. Originally released on Gershon Kingsley’s album "Music to Moog By" in 1969, you know just by that title and date that this was more than the simple novelty song, the pop ‘corn’ intentionally implied by its name. Kingsley released a rearranged version in 1972 with his First Moog Quartet, and then Stan Free, a member of the quartet, released a version with his band Hot Butter the same year; this was the version that became a European and stateside hit.

    Fun fact: If you’ve ever watched #Boston’s #WGBH public television station, or any of the many programs produced by GBH for the #PBS network, you’ve heard a #GershonKingsley composition: the sound mark or ‘sting’ that plays with the WGBH animated logo:

  9. 35 years ago today a particularly long total #SolarEclipse hit Hawaii and Central and South America - of which astronomers on #MaunaKea made ample use as the legendary #WGBH documentary "Eclipse of th Century" shows: youtube.com/watch?v=JRI5FEQbn7o = archive.org/details/Eclipseoft (my favorite scene is in minute 45-46 when astronomers rush out of a telescope control room during totality to marvel at the eclipse with their own eyes). See also diary4dan.wordpress.com/2016/0 and skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/07/ ("Eine ungewöhnlich lange Totale Sonnenfinsternis") for further memories of that event I've found online 10 years ago and today.

  13. Our local PBS station, WGBH, did a piece about Liberals looking into their 2nd Amendment rights

    Nicely done. Fun to see a bunch of folks I know being interviewed.

  17. In many ways I think the work that WGBH is doing with the continuation of The Big Dig is a what we've wanted Serial to become, a more structured narrative arc and punch. The new season is about a figure in cod fishing, which sounds boring but is also already full of Scarface references. Also it introduced me to Galaxie 500 and Damon & Naomi. #boston #podcast #wgbh

    I just got to know yesterday that our local TV station WGBH got its call sign from Great Blue Hill which I frequent almost every week!

    Fun conversation starter at work lunch today ;)

  24. Live Thu, Mar 6 on “America Unhinged”, plus Stand Up For Science, other recent updates

    Hello, democracy lovers! Please join me on America Unhinged at 8pm Eastern on Thursday, March 6, where I will be talking with hosts Francesca Fiorentini and Wajahat Ali about DOGE’s slash-and-burn march through the federal government, what it means for the American people if we don’t stop it, and how we can do that.

    I also encourage you to attend a local Stand Up for Science rally at noon Friday local time, either the main rally in Washington DC or one of the 31 other local rallies being held throughout the country. If there’s no SUFS rally near you but you’re on a college campus, there may be someone organizing a SUFS walkout. Ask around or look for flyers, or even organize one yourself!

    In other news:

    • Please read and share my op-ed published yesterday by The Hill, “I was fired by DOGE, but I am not a victim”.
    • I enjoyed talking with hosts Jim Braude and Margery Eagan yesterday on WGBH News’s show Boston Public Radio, broadcast live from the beautiful glass atrium of the Boston Public Library’s central branch (video stream link, audio stream link). If you’re in the Boston area, I encourage you to visit the library to watch one of their broadcasts live, 11am–2pm every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. It’s a fun experience. No tickets required!
    • Not terribly exciting, but for the record, my story was reported on CNN’s Outfront show with Erin Burnett on February 21 (transcript), and here’s the published transcript of my appearance on CNN News Central February 26.
