I’m a writer and closet revolutionary. I love music, swimming in the ocean, and reading books.
I want Tony Barber to Mc my funeral. He can ask guests questions about my life and award drinks vouchers for the wake for right answers.
If Tony can’t do it, Ugly Dave Grey will be ok, so long as Noeline Brown is also there.
Baby John Burgess would’ve been good too. But I think he’s dead.

It’s my conviction #Galaxie500 are one of the most important bands of the last 40 or so years.

Hawking proved information can’t be destroyed. Now I’m an old surfer, and every wave carries information about the wind, bottom contours, board slicing thru its face etc.
So when the wave dissipates on the shore, where does that information go?
I’m fascinated by this idea.

#netzero is a laudable goal. But it’s also completely unachievable. There’s no way heavy transport will be decarbonised by 2050. Same goes for aviation and shipping. And the little secret is renewables, even with big batteries, can’t do baseload, so we’re gonna be relying on gas for years to come.

I think the acid I’ve dropped in recent months has done something. I feel more expansive, more accepting. More in tune with the universal, fundamental drone. I think acid is a sacrament, and needs to be treated with respect. But it has also opened my mind.

This song was SO far ahead of its time. Donna Summer and Gorgio Moroder pretty much invented dance music.

Galaxie 500 are one of the most important bands of the last 40 years or so. Their music evokes that feeling of melancholy you have on a grey day at home by yourself, with only a pack of smokes, a cup of coffee and yr thoughts to keep you company.

The first two #MercuryRev albums were SO fucken sick. They kicked out their singer, David Baker, after those two rekkids and, like so many bands we loved, kinda lamed out after that. I woulda LOVED to have seen them in 91. So many bands, so many bands we never saw.

As a writer, you know what bugs me? How most media outlets have stopped using honorifics. When I came thru, the only people who didn’t get them were convicted criminals. Now everyone is referred to by their last name. It lacks elegance and respect. @mjcpowell.bsky.social @anthonycaruana.bsky.social
