Using Mattel’s My First Protest kit.

From deep in my childhood I remember my mother dashing off Debussy’s fiendishly difficult Dr. Gradus ad Parnassum like she was doing a crossword. Turns out her copy of Children’s Corner is a 1908 original edition.

EVIDENCE THAT COLERIDGE WAS HIGH WHEN HE WROTE KUBLA KHAN #1 Rhyming “fertile ground” with “girdled round” (lines 6/7).

Artists "keel over like canaries in poison coal mines long before more robust types realize that there is any danger whatsoever.” --Kurt Vonnegut William Bell doing the artist thing. Great track. music.apple.com/us/album/str...

So if you've been a fan of big band music at any point in your life give this a listen. music.apple.com/us/album/my-...

Eight songs instead of the usual four this week. Lots of good stuff. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

I don't make my Best New Music playlists to please anyone but me. But damn, there's some great new stuff this week. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Humanity: “an immensely powerful anthology intelligence with a profoundly disordered soul…” —Brad DeLong (who is here on bsky)

Pomskys in alert mode.

Smitty and Rikki are concerned that everyone is exercising some kind of self-care.

Kinda jazzy this week. But this Claire Martin track is really special, worth several listens. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Final tally: 520 pieces, handed out individually. First little ghoul at 5:40, supply exhausted by 7:35, lights off and door locked. Then a short tour of the neighborhood, finally Young Frankenstein in honor of Teri Garr. And remember, put the candle back.

Some great new music this week. Never heard of The Wild Feathers before, they've been around since 2010.

For decades I thought the lyric in We Are The Champions was "no flesh accrues". I still think it has a certain poetry.

Just workshopping this, but how about LOTR with a quirky sense of humor? #OnlyMordorsInTheBuilding

It’s a nice place to hang out.

Ummm...this is brand new and amazing. music.apple.com/us/album/fou...

Very sad he's gone. Treasure that I got to work with him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSDj...

Best new music of the week: Middle/The River Runs Both Ways-Aoife O’Donovan and Hawktail Chanson Pour Maryline-André Ceccarelli Wildflowers In The Sky-Sara Jarosz Jingles-Jocelyn Gould music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Dentist used a torque wrench to tighten my uppers. I felt like a '65 Mustang 6-banger getting its head gasket replaced.

Great new music this week. Give a listen. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

I love how they fixed the audio disaster on Sous le ciel de Paris for the prime time rebroadcast.

Rikki on the left, Smitty on the right

Pretty sure I'm on Team Walz. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Haven't done one of these in a while. No new music I liked, I guess. But this week, six. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

I mean it was right there.

Just to clear up any confusion.
