Sometimes it’s best to just tear off the Band-Aid and get it over with.

Is someone keeping and publishing a list of all the things he’s reversed himself from? I don’t know if his faithful have the attention span to see what a gutless waffle he is in reality.

I’m lucky enough to live in Portland, where Peter Buck will pretty much get up on stage with anyone he’s ever met and fill in on rhythm guitar. Dude has no pretense, just wants to play guitar in a garage band with the other weird kids who love rock n roll.

I got one for my daughter when she took up guitar during the pandemic. Import manufacturing, but at least it had an Oregon myrtlewood top.

Sort of unfortunate either way you look at it. But they play and sound nice in my experience, and they at least talk a good game about sustainability.

Maybe it’s just because I’m old, but I really don’t want to see each individual pore on the faces of actors.

Pretty sure no one is shocked. This is now business as usual.

Pervy nonsense?

It’s actually the dude’s name. Not just some hippie nonsense.

Had a college housemate who was friends with those guys when she was in high school. She has some stories. . .

The women’s pro tour has been more exciting to watch than the men’s for years now!

In the Zen tradition, Seisetsu Shōchō: “The giver should be thankful.”

Wow. Just… wow. I probably shouldn’t be surprised but yet I am. Throw some money at the ACLU if you can. It’s gonna be a long fight.

“This means recognizing there are only two sexes: male and female. It means getting government out of the way of what the Lord established from the beginning when he created man in His own image.”

The “Eddie Vedder sings LinkedIn” meme is brilliant.

I thought you were going to say “the 4th, the 5th, the minor 2nd, and then resolve to the 1.” I get a lot of music theory nerdery in my feed.

Sundar, you are not white and European. Your wealth and privilege will only protect you for so long. Calmly explain to them that without Sanskrit, there would be no Latin. Their European ancestors would still be grunting in caves.

My Canadian wife will argue that bilingualism is the lowest form of tokenism. This didn’t sink in for me until I deep dived the story behind the Colter Wall song “Rocky Mountain Rangers.”

Everything is going to hell. You might as well catch up on your Kurosawa, Godard, and Almoldóvar.

Nope. I’m all for Minnesota nice, but now is not the time. You have no responsibility to compromise with fascism. They sent my grandpa to Italy to stop it the first time around. You have the opportunity to fight it from the relative comfort of St. Paul.

Hmmm. I thought the Yuengling dude was a Trumper?

He’s got a lot to say. About generational trauma, racism and poverty, the difficulty of squaring Christian beliefs with lived experience. It’s heavy.

It’s worth looking his stuff up on the website genius.com. Exegesis provided, like the Biblical commentary when you were in Sunday school. This is the first musician outside of classical or jazz to win the Pulitzer.

Sure, an American flag made from Black bodies is right on point, but I think we needed the pictures of 47 mugging it up with Epstein on the Jumbotron while Kendrick shouts “certified pedophile” to really make it clear enough to the casual listener.

The artistry is there and speaks for itself, but I don’t really think the mass of American are paying that close attention. Certainly not the MAGAverse.

I thought Led Zeppelin cornered the market on those.

I once saw a dancer playing Nina Simone. But that was at the club that allegedly inspired Tom Waits to write “Pasties and a G String,” so y’know, maybe a different vibe.

To this day I can still be driving home from work listening to KMHD and have an “OH FUCK! That’s where that sample is from!” moment.

That record took what I knew I liked about jazz and dragged it about 15 years forward in the evolution of music. I just wanna spend days thumbing through Q-Tip’s dad’s vinyl collection.

Ooof. Can’t even. All so good. Did not grow up with jazz music in my life. Discovered it through hip hop and acid jazz samples and a PHENOMENAL public jazz only radio station here in Portland all at the same time. KMHD.org streaming online.
