In my head, I hear the title of @doodlyroses.com's latest newsletter in the voice of Lucille Bluth as she delivers the line, "here's some money, go see a Star War"

My awesome friend, collaborator, and UM colleague Julie Zhu is hosting an awesome-looking event with her noise music class tonight at 7 PM on Blanche Anderson Moore hall in the basement of the UM school of music

Very excited to receive my last @ranchogordo.bsky.social beans club shipment of the year!

I gasped at the black garbanzo beans, I've never seen anything like them (local heroes By The Pound have some kind of dark chickpeas but their color pales in comparison)

We have kept the flame burning for 12 hours today, perfect for the season's first snow
November 10, 2025 at 1:47 AM
We have already started a fire in the fireplace

We are currently experiencing our first snow of the season, so that means I must listen to Han Abrahamsen's "Schnee" at some point today

Gerald wants a tiered birthday cake for his party tomorrow so I'm putting my trust into a reliable source: Dolly Parton

I thought about this exact thing earlier today when I took my family to the Toledo Zoo and saw this plaque in the aquarium building

I built two fires today

1989 doesn't excite me quite as much, but these four are notable, esp. "Beneath the Remains"

("Skid Row" the least so, IMO, but how can I ignore the virtuosic pinch harmonics on that record?)

Here are some metal albums from 1988 that kick ass:

My curls today are doing their best "Dustim Hoffman as Captain Hook" impersonation

Today, I've packed up just about every piece of electronic music hardware I own to do an expansive synth demonstration for my "Music and Meaning In Our Lives" class

This is directly inspired by @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social's posts about showing her students manuscripts in-person

I just learned that Terence Blanchard is also playing tonight

Not bad seats for a free ticket (a gift from a friend who couldn't use it)

I'm glad I have a direct line on Herbie Hancock'a arsenal of keyboards
