It’s so easy to be an artist. You just do it. That, of course, is why it’s so hard to be an artist. You just have to do it. People despise how artistic courage highlights their own cowardice. Thus, crave the art, despise the artist. my random thoughts on it, better said by all the ppl in history

Great Read | No way did I know that I wanted 12k(!) words about Katie Crutchfield and Waxahatchee, but there’s personal layers to this @jennpelly.bsky.social on-the-bus profile that I’ve not read in a magazine music story in a decade, probably longer. They just don’t write them like this any more.

There's union in this sh*t - and failing MSM outlets/national political parties just don't see it! When's the last time saw lefty chants **and** American flags

Happy Birthday Breezy! Forever on our minds, our shoulders, our conscience, our side. Your spirit continuing to spur all of us onward, to each do more in our own way. You would be livid at what’s going on RN, hoarse from yelling, maybe even tired from marching,... www.instagram.com/p/DLAxPhzxeUg/

Old Work | I wrote this in the midst of lockdown, a culmination of an obsessions w/the Blue Notes, their music and story, the breadth of their solo work, how little they're recognized in the States and in improvised circles. They were gods, and now the last remaining deity is gone. #RIPLouisMoholo

NYC PSA! Very informative read on the under-race...

Real recognize real — and clearly explain why I may have always thought these songs were related, but didn't have the music-theory understanding to express it.

This👇🏼 x1000. I need the smartie tacticos and #COYG shit-talkers to abandon the Elon's fascist nest, and I'll never ever have to visit it again!

Four hours of Sly & The Family Stone, (mostly) live on television from 1968-1974. Pure bliss. doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/7861580...

NYC News PSA! The attacks on speaking out against genocide just don't end at the moment. The Adams administration's censorious involvement has initiated so many dominoes. Feeling very shitty for the culture workers suffering the fall-out...
