The book Perfecting Sound Forever by Greg Milner is fantastic. It’s explaining things I’ve noticed by ear but didn’t know by facts. What this book is to the history of audio recording is like what the book Inverting the Pyramid by Jonathan Wilson is to the history of soccer tactics. Just great.

I was in Death Valley recently and I have to say that Tony Conrad and Faust is the perfect accompaniment for the 40-minute drive from Furnace Creek to the Artist’s Drive and back. A wonderful, weird experience .

I found a NM original copy of Butch Hancock’s Diamond Hill today. This album is really, really great.

RIP George Lowe

Your whole career was amazing, but it would've been legendary even if you'd only executed this line reading:

I put on Sloan’s album Navy Blues and I had forgotten how much I enjoy their music.

Ava Mendoza’s first album, Shadow Stories, is making me wish I could play guitar better than I can. She’s really impressive, even early on.

🎧 We should all be talking about this amazing disco-funk record that was released by Razor n Tape recently. It’s so smooth. Like, the world might be ending, but the party won’t stop. #musicsky #funksky

Using Spotify is incompatible with loving music. Every stream is another nail in the coffin of some indie musician's career. It is legalized theft.

Don't use it.
Don't share links to it.
Don't re-post links to it.
Avoid those that support it.
Buy music!

“there is one subset of men who out-enroll women. Which subset might that be?

Gay men.

While only 36 percent of US adults have bachelor’s degrees, 52% of gay men do.”

Masculinity norms are one helluva drug
Once any space becomes less than 40% male, (straight) men tend to cede it entirely while shouting about how it “went woke”. Fascinating read:
Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping?
We would rather talk about literally everything else.

The Last Samurai by Helen DeWitt, which I’m currently reading, likely would be too difficult for a book club, but it’s also difficult to read without talking about it with other people.

This skit, All Dolled Up, from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job, might be my favorite thing. I love it no matter how many times I watch it.

Idol Records put out albums by one of my favorite bands ever, Centro-Matic, and it also put out this decent Christmas compilation, which features a lot of Dallas-area local bands from the late 1990s and early 2000s.
