Hey there. I remember when the Hindu Love Gods released their self-titled album in 1990. I loved REM and had an interest in Zevon, but wasn’t well versed in the Blues. I was 21. But holy cow, hearing it now is a revelation! Do yourself a favor and dive in. open.spotify.com/album/47lJ6T...

Look, I know they're idiots; but if they wanted to increase US manufacturing and ecomonic opportunity to working and middle class workers through tariffs, it might've been good to provide time and incentives for manufacturers to build out more US operations again first. This is just stupid.

One of my favorite memories of Val Kilmer is being an exchange student in Bochum, West Germany and on the last school day of the school year in 1986 all the kids wanted to watch Top Secret. The irony had me reeling. “I know a little German.”

"Rugged individualism didn't defeat the Nazis. It didn't take us to the moon. We did that together, America." - Senator @booker.senate.gov after 24 hours and 37 minutes on the floor STILL eloquently speaking radically beautiful criticisms of American myths in service of powerful patriotism

I've always been open about how I run my label. I've decided to create a thread where I'll share some behind-the-scenes insights to show you how I do things. Maybe you'll find something inspiring. If you want to learn more about the label, bookmark this and check back in the coming days.

Granola's 25 meetings for free to start is genius. I got hooked and started to depend on it. I think I paid them before I used up the 25 sessions.
