The older I get the more I think music has always been my most abiding spiritual discipline.

My almost 4 year old and 10 month old’s favorite song is Ice Cream Piano” by Vampire Weekend. It’s awesome.

One of the things that pisses me off the most in everything that has happened with the current administration’s shit show is Trump/Elon taking away federal funding from state humanities councils.

Wendell Berry - The Peace of Wild Things It’s National Poetry Month. Here’s a favorite poem of mine and many others, and one that is quite timely these days.

Currently reading, and almost finished with, The Evolution of the Gospelettes by Tammy Oberhausen. Fast-paced novel with keen insights about Christianity, doubt, and the prosperity gospel. Vivid characters, detestable villain, palpable Kentucky setting. A great read.

We don’t talk enough about how this is one of the greatest albums of all time.

Have you ever wanted to read something extolling the virtues of both 90s pop radio stalwarts Savage Garden and indie-rock alterna-weirdos Cake in the same essay? Here you go.

I am not familiar with other states’ literary history, tradition, and output like I am own, but I cannot fathom another state having such a stellar track record of producing incredible writers as Kentucky has over the years.

The new My Morning Jacket seems like (and probably is) a fine album, but it just makes me want to listen to At Dawn, It Still Moves, and Z. I wish I wasn’t like this, but damn, that was a three album run for the ages.

I do not understand people who say this season of The White Lotus is “slow.” It’s always been a character-driven slow build with stunning cinematography. I’ve never been more excited for shit to go down than I am for the second half of this season.

I hardly missed an episode of Pod Save America last year. These days, I hardly ever listen. I’m not sure why.

Truly not understanding the people saying “God said ‘hold my beer’/ He made a man so he could watch and laugh” is a bad line. It is, per usual for Jason Isbell, a great line.

Can you imagine if Bob Dylan had posted Machine Gun Kelly’s cover of “Country Roads” with Jelly Roll.

Finished this collection of short stories last night. These Appalachian Gothic tales are well-written, visceral, and at times brutal. Chris Offutt is a master of the form.

Being that the 10 year anniversary of the end of Justified is coming up, I’m going to need someone to start a Justified re-watch podcast. God, I miss that show.

The worst Super Bowl commercial was by far the “anti-hate” commercial by Snoop and Tom Brady. Tone-deaf. Cringe.

In my experience, people don’t have a bias against Christians, they have a bias against Christian assholes.

It’s pointless to say to Trump voters, “Is this what you voted for?” I think most of them: a) genuinely don’t believe any of this is bad/wrong/illegal (ignorant) or b) genuinely don’t care (sociopathic or evil). An unthinkably huge line is going to have to be crossed before any of them come around.

This is true. People upset about Beyoncé winning like listening to Brantley Gilbert, Mitchell Tenpenny, and Cole Swindell.

Albums that aren’t really “true country” that have also won Best Country Album at the Grammys that no one is upset about: Kacey Musgraves’ Golden Hour, Sturgill Simpson’s Sailor’s Guide to Earth, Chris Stapleton’s Starting Over.

American Primeval bores me to tears. You can’t fix boring with gratuitous violence. Best Western series Netflix has ever done? Godless.

Performances have been legit so far at the Grammys. Even so, Pink Pony Club has clearly still been the best.

We know Trump doesn’t listen to country so how long before JD Vance blames this on DEI
