I have zero memory of purchasing the audiobook “Why Congress” , but there it was in my book collection. All for the best. In this time political conflict, I find it wise and hopeful to brush up on civics and to read/learn what challenges my perspective rather than reinforces it.

It makes sense to me that D’Angelo was a huge fan of Red Redemption and has only released three albums in twenty years. There are only so many hours in the day & you can’t consume all the S-tier art and hope to create some too.

The most exciting thing that happened today was a teenager told me about TV Girl and said “Mostly this is young people music, but you can listen to it too.” I’m pretty over the moon over that.

I’m kind of throwing shade at the old time scene here, but only cuz of deep immersion. The Oly Old Time Festival is this weekend & if this kind of stuff appeals to you, you’re in for a treat. Just don’t add any new ideas. 😂🤓🙄 youtu.be/LcMfKxSfQxQ?...

What is your favorite article of clothing you own? This robe is easily answer. I wear it all the time. And an episode of Barry had my favorite TV character, NoHo Hank, wearing it? I felt so special!

It’s a little weird to me to reach out to strangers to get them to write about your art, but apparently that is abnormally normal. But as this review notes… i don’t really do “normal”. Sigh. If only i could! yorkcalling.co.uk/2025/02/04/d...

I brought the fact I am making a point to not drink at home while my wife is away to my therapist and I saw the light in her eyes. Drinking habits? That’s red meat to the therapist!

The amount of busy work I can find to do to avoid Spanish homework is astounding. If I had Spanish class every day, I would be the most productive person in the world.

A customer asked me if we had parsley. I pointed and said “It’s right in front of you.” She shrugged and said she must be blind. “You’re not all the way blind. Just parsley blind.” Send me home. It’s all down here from there. I won’t top that.

I got distracted by music & poetry this morning (as you do) and only did some exercise. When I got to work I saw a coworker and felt completely alone, isolated and unseen for two seconds. Then the burbies I did came back to me & I felt fine. Apparently I HAVE to exercise to feel fine. Woof.

Part 0013 of an unending series where I talk about the songs that influenced me to make music. I talk about “Express Yourself” by Madonna & reflected on its radical message. youtu.be/DszzqG26Yi0?...

I love the first half of Leonard Cohen’s song “The Future” but six and a half minutes is too long. Everyone lost interest two minute after he stopped singing about anal sex.

A combining of my taste, Timothee Chamalet performed Bob Dylan songs with James Blake on SNL. It’s not what I like bout either artist, but it’s also not mid or done as expected. It’s a little weird. I’ll take it. youtu.be/v6dCTnnoVsI?...

I used to send postcards to touch base with friends. I didn’t say it, but I was always looking for connection: hoping they’d write back & it’d be “our thing” and we’d send postcards about our lives, forever. It never happened. And it’s okay! That’s how texting is now for me.

I am amused to listen to the latest @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social podcast and have a guest casually refer to the current administration as playing “Calvin Ball” with no explanation of that term.

When then Sen. Obama was critical of the Bush administration’s expanding of presidential proclamations as leading to disproportionate power, VP Cheney smugly predicted that when the senator was president, he would feel differently & take advantage of the abilities he’d have. They were both right.

This is probably the oldest song I’ve written that I still remember. I wrote it twenty years ago? I’m touched and amused by the young man who wrote this. I’ve been my family on toast in song ever since too! Wait until you hear verse two

My favorite thing about “A Complete Unknown”, which I liked a lot, was Edward Norton as Pete Seeger. He nailed it & richly deserves his nomination if not the actual Oscar.

It doesn’t bother me when FB undoes policies i agree with because i know they don’t mean it. They didn’t mean it then and they don’t mean it now. But recommending I follow Melania? That is too far.

It’s easier to be kind to people if you believe they don’t deserve it. It’s not earned or inherent: it’s a decision I’m making because I think it’s better for me.

Immigration of Chinese people fleeing repression did nothing but make America better a 150 years ago. The Jewish Russians fleeing programs 100 years ago made this country amazing. Immigrants make this country great. The racist laws forbidding it are a shame on us all. I am ashamed of the bad policy.

The thing is, you can replace “cruel” in this sentence with funny, artistic, thoughtful, thoughtless, compassionate, greedy, kinky, creative, or any of 1000 other adjectives. Why are so many of us only able to see us as exceptional in our faults?
