Needless to say my mental health has been extremely DOWN/WRONG but MAINTAINING for the past six months but unfortunately no better than that. this may explain why i have both made plans to sump pump atlantis and steal their magic, but also, get a new cell, this thing is ancient and barely works

This rules

just saw some incomprehensible thread about how mccartney II is proof that rockism is bad because it's a great album done by a rock guy that's not rock, and it's bad that people have reassessed it and found it to be good instead of its original mediocre reviews. no idea what anyones point was

Patto featured the great Ollie Halsall on guitar, and was a hugely underrated, coulda-been-a-contender beast of a band in the early 1970s. I wrote the liner notes to all their albums in 2017 as part of a remaster reissue series. Find out more about them here: www.cherryred.co.uk/artist/patto

I love when people see a real person and are like oh man thats just like X media (that was obviously based on this real person.) It's like reading about Hearst and going wow lol this is some Citizen Kane shit

Found in an old notebook: lyrics to a song about how Thomas Edison never actually lived at the Thomas Edison House in Louisville

It’s funny because I grew up as a Black kid during the 90s and if “people think we’re bad” was as determinative as it’s being depicted me and everyone I know should be dead by now.

Making decisions is stupid

it's a brutal time to be a boy. your neighbors are being deported to concentration camps and your social services are being gutted.
