while i'm almost impressed by otter.ai's hall of fame level #enshittification, i'm still outraged that they more than doubled the monthly price for the same services & i now need to find a solid offline non-subscription #transcription app. recommendations (besides macwhisper), anyone?

requirements -

• can edit text of #transcripts
• able to instantly get time stamps from any point in the #transcript
• can keep multiple transcripts open at once
• can search across transcripts

i have been a paid pro customer of otter.ai for 5+ years, the deadcast would not be possible without it, & i am beyond miffed at their account changes.

my "pro" plan previously allowed for 1,200 minutes of transcription per month, which i never used. but now i am limited to 1,200 minutes over 10 files. in a typical month, i upload 40-50 (or more) much shorter files from different sources.

my entire working library of audio is in there, so feeling trapped.

fuck otter. hard.

doesn't really solve any problems, but sure is satisfying.

the recent crackdown on unlicensed #nyc #cannabis bodegas has ushered in a massive overnight vibe shift from over-the-top garish to hilariously anonymous. the next phase in weed bodega aesthetics, already a topic for street art documentarians. (photos by a pal, but expect to see it in my neighborhood soon.)

happy 100th arrival day to the deputy marshall allen, "dep" as he was/is known inside the @SunRaUniverse arkestra. can't believe i've gotten to see him play as many times as i have (& hopefully will again soon). WKCR is playing 24 hours of marshall today to celebrate. https://www.cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/story/marshall-allen-birthday-broadcast #jazz

50 years ago today, the #GratefulDead & the wall of sound in #seattle, including one of their longest standalone jams. the 2nd of 3 shows with more than half of the forthcoming “from the mars hotel.” more wonderful photos by crew member richie pechner. spring ’74, show #5. https://archive.org/details/gd74-05-21.sbd.belkin.2597.sbefail.shnf [1/4]

rode with neil young & crazy horse again in #bridgeport & so happy i did. got tons of songs i didn't catch tuesday ("barstool blues"! "down by the river"! "dangerbird"! "fuckin' up"!), tour debuts ("when you dance"! "big time"!), & what felt like even deeper #jams ("powderfinger"! "love & only love"!). molina & talbot have always had their own special pocket & it's so rare/cool to hear a rhythm section age with their singer into something even heavier, if less nimble. also, a j. mascis sighting.

does anyone happen to have access to the wall street journal archives from the '70s? i'm looking for one specific article that should be pretty easy to find (and, really, just the date of that article) & would very much appreciate some #research assistance.

i'd never seen #albini's account of the rightly infamous #GratefulDead related prank pulled on him in 1995. (urge overkill were the perpetrators, according to lore.) https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6uZQp9sBkx/?igsh=MTYzNmh4Z25zdzI1cA==

#NowPlaying - a ground zero for so much, but why so many cowrites for kevin ayers & so few lead vocals? is it like the neil-young's-voice-was-too-weird-for-the-springfield thing or just cuz ayers was the new guy? and how many steps between "we did it again" & oneida's "sheets of easter"? @Corry342 @vinylrecords #canterbury #prog

a vintage 1978 interview with larry cuba, my dad's old experimental #animation buddy who designed/animated the targeting computer in the original #StarWars. we once crashed at larry's place & wondered why his abstract sculpture collection looked so familiar before discovering they were pieces of the actual death star surface from the close-up shots. https://computeradsfromthepast.substack.com/p/creative-computer-publishes-interview

reminded of one of the many reasons my partner is amazing: at the first american all tomorrow's parties in 2008, she beat #albini in a few hands of poker (& actually won some $$) at the all-night table without knowing who he was or that he was a professional world series of poker player. she says he was... poker-faced.
