Somehow I went from a handful of monthly listeners to over 500 in just a few days. Digging into the data, it appears that one of my instrumentals got picked up on some playlists.

Great to see this. Maybe there is hope for the UK, as well.

We are not alike. Your favorite philosophers are Jay and Silent Bob, while mine are Phæcetious and Tacitus.

What if the level of
outrage that brought Jimmy Kimmel back…

would be used to stop genociding Palestinians.

It only took him 700+ days, but at least he finally admits it:

“[Israel] has waged an all-out war against the entire Palestinian people. Many legal experts have now concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.”

Vinted’s Buyer’s Protection is a scam.

If an item arrives destroyed, they claim to be “investigating” it for a month, then blame you for not replying to some request that included no way to actually reply.

I’ve had way better experiences with eBay, Catawiki, Etsy, etc.

A man born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire went to school in Czechoslovakia, got married in Hungary, worked in the Soviet Union, and retired in Ukraine – yet he never left his village.

Where is it?

25 years ago, I took $4K out of my 401k to pay for studio time for this album.

We had to hurry, and we ran out of money before we could do it right.

Now it’s been remastered, and we hope you enjoy.

What makes this even worse is that the median household income used to be for one person in the family working, but now it’s for two people.

I lived in the Rust Belt (MI), the Bible Belt (GA, TN), and the Atheist (Hippie) Belt (OR).

Of those, time and distance gave me appreciation for all of them… however, as much as I’m a hippie at heart, I would probably rather live among Rust or Bible belt folks.
