I've reached a point where nothing gets me ready to sleep quite like making new synth patches.

Send help.

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

Last bit of lyrics are written for the new EP. Now I just need quiet time in the house to record them.

Health insurance is about to get even more expensive for artists. Even bands you’d assume are doing well financially will likely struggle to afford healthcare.
If you can, buy yr favorite artists’ records.
If you can’t, add their stuff to playlists, follow them on streaming services, spread the word

Skinner's New Wave Vaudeville is an absolute must buy for any fan of the titular genre. This is the best stuff I've heard in ages!

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

The 10 Senate Dems caving tonight shows again that liberals will not save us. Liberal ideology is based around the oersonal comfort of the individual and as soon as that comfort is threatened, they will jettison anyone to get it back.

"Socialism or barbarism" isn't a threat. It's a prediction.

This and the air travel issues. Nothing, I mean NOTHING, will get between Democrats and their holiday vacations.
What we are seeing is a replay of the surrender on Covid protections because it was going to impact the wealth class in a way that would make it harder to accrue wealth without consequences.

Liberals already made the choice to kill millions to maintain the wealth class status quo.
Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.

I just spent an hour beating my head against a wall because the bass in one song isn't fitting cleanly, so I completely scrapped my previous chain and re-EQed it, and if there is one thing I'd love to do professionally for the rest of my life, it's this.

I love music production.

Wow! Just discovered a high-quality recording of Kraftwerk performing Autobahn live on the Midnight Special in 1975. Watch it here

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

As INCREDIBLY stressful as my personal life has become due to illness and job related shenanigans, at least I'll have Save Ferris blasting when I pick my kid up from school today.

She's really into woman-led ska now.

These are crimes against humanity. None of us is capable of truly internalizing suffering at this scale. Elon Musk and many other members of the Trump Administration should be put on trial at The Hague.

I'm pretty sure the East India Company has a good claim on that title.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

My kid got into the Wayside School books and found the short-lived cartoon. She really likes the ska theme song, so we introduced her to Save Ferris's cover of Come On Eileen.

I think that may have dethroned Taylor Swift in her musical pantheon, at least temporarily.

His existence has made the world a worse place and will continue to do so for generations. Millions are dead because he lived. Tens of millions more displaced while he ruled from the White House.

Keep a close eye on the people who mourn him. They value their own comfort over the lives of others.

I had this piece in the pipeline at Teen Vogue when the news dropped; I'm publishing it to my Substack because I think it's important and I don't want an interview with Adam Hochschild to go to waste.
