I still can't believe Mainers didn't even blink at the fact we elected an 80-year-old dude for another six years just because he's got a nostalgic mustache. Didn't even talk about whether may he's not the guy anymore. Just a complete layup.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

If I was going to open a recording studio, I would name it The Stu-Stu-Studio and we would be the kings of gated reverb.

Quick reminder that the CEO of the Trump Org cheated on his wife too, and not with a willing adult.

I'm advising a young band with tons of potential. My first assignment for them is to study Peter Gabriel's "Melt."

Through a series of events that included three refrigerator boxes, I recently found myself at a poetry slam in Utica, NY.

I came here to make a joke post, but damn, who can joke about anything right now?

I explain why @dominiclavoie.bsky.social is a perfect client.

Good advice:
"Let’s talk to a graphic designer before you name your band Edgar Throckmorton’s Exploding Cocktail Factory and Electric Magazine Emporium. But if you do, please put me on the guest list."

Tomorrow I will line up for @recordstoreday.bsky.social for the first time. I'm finally going to experience what it is all about.

Records often go missing in a move. Somehow I managed to lose everything after Joe Meek through Yoko Ono when I moved them within my own house. Literally from one room to another.

I don't know what the swallows' plan for San Juan Capestrano is, but 1000 crows just landed in my yard.

Add Human Moods to your #RSD2025 list. I'm loving this female-fronted mature alt rock band. I think it will be exclusive to @bullmoosestores.bsky.social.

It's like it was made for Gen Xers who still want to rock. Great lyrics and vocals and it sounds great!

Catching up on RSD records I haven't listened to yet. First up, a Sandy Denny live album.

Today I moved the subwoofer three times and decided I liked the original location best. As you do.

I bought stamps today and I thought thought this was a Zelensky quote. It actually was from the First Continental Congress in 1774.

Hats off to the 1000 UK artists who released an album consisting of the sound of empty recording studios and venues. They are protesting a proposed UK law that would allow AI companies to train their models on copywrited music without a license.

I set up the stereo in my new home office. First listen was Dominic Lavoie's new album, Round Trip.

Tracy Chapman's first album is finally returning to vinyl. So many people have been asking for this. Orange transparent vinyl will be exclusive to indies. Black vinyl will be everywhere,
