As of today, the much more reasonably priced paperback of Musical Intimacy is out in the world. Available from the publisher's site below, but I bet your favorite local, indie bookstore could order it for you!

Donate to your local college radio station!! It's the best way to preserve local media, and get cool t-shirts.
WFUV and WFMU are two great stations - been listening to them for decades ( yes I’m old) add those college stations WKCR 89.9 Columbia University.
Support them all with donations if you can afford it. It’s really worth having them around

We used to be a proper country.
A week ago I was in a grocery store and the deli shop called out "Order ready, 867!" I instantly yelled "5309!!!" and was totally depressed when not one person in the store got it...

I remember having an excited exchange with @thepacketman.bsky.social along the lines of "Bowie's being weird again!"
A decade now. I remember thinking, when I first heard the "something happened..." section kick in, "wow, he's really back."

It’s amazing that after 15 years, the GOP is FINALLY coalescing around a healthcare plan of sorts and it essentially amounts to “fuck it, you do it.”
Trump: "THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I'LL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE W/ NOTHING GOING TO THE BIG, FAT, RICH INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHO HAVE RIPPED OFF AMERICA LONG ENOUGH. THE PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE & BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, INSURANCE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

This is a great story - thanks for sharing, Anil!
Y’all wanna hear a wild story? Charlie is right — this medley Prince made 30 years ago, blending many of his greatest hits & fan favorites into an extended mashup, is one of the most fun “only Prince could do this” things he made in the 90s. BUT: he told us he was gonna do it. In an AOL chat room…
Unpopular opinion: the Purple Medley is one of the best things Prince ever did.
