I can’t say I deeply understand the technicalities behind how co-ops are a better structure than others

But I am very grateful for the housing co-op I live in here in 💸 #Vancouver that makes my rent less than $800 a month for what across the street they charge $1,400

And our @accordionnoir show has been broadcasting weekly on #CoopRadio 📻 without which my life would have been on some different track these last 20 years 🪗

Tonight! Week 2 of our 22nd birthday celebrations with the London-based Life On Earth Radio. @Kumabear will play some slow things, and my set is keeping it upbeat with some classic #FemiKuti and an old #TalvinSingh #VinylRecord in my set tonight. Keeping it a party atmosphere in the 2nd week of #AoB22! Midnight PDT, 7am GMT. 100.5FM in #Vancouver and #Streaming worldwide at https://www.coopradio.org/listen-live

It's the last Art of Beatz of 2025!
@Kumabear is cramming in as much as he can across tempos.
For me, it was a challenging year — didn’t get a lot of new music. But in the spirit of #Christmas (I often think of KRS-ONE's statement "at Christ-Mass, what's the meaning of Santa Claus???), I dug out a bunch of #BigVocal #GospelHouse that I rarely play. So tonight's #DJMix #DJSet features these #ClassicRecords #ClassicVinyl amongst many... all on CFRO 100.5FM #Vancouver and #Streaming at coopradio.org/listen-live at #Midnight PT #MerryChristmas #CommunityRadio #CoOpRadio

Tonight on Art Of Beatz Radio, Allbeings is in the guest slot in a Buddy System style.
@Kumabear will play some new d&b and I try to lift the spirits as we close in on the shortest day of the year (it’s so dark in YVR) and the world seemingly burns — #SoulfulHouse in the #DJMix #DJSet featuring cuts from these #ClassicRecords #ClassicVinyl
